SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT

Wednesday, December 1st, 2021, at 2:30 pm (local time).

Dr Sheng Meng (KIAS, Seoul) will give a seminar on "Jordan property for automorphism groups”.

Abstract: A group is said to have Jordan property if there exists a Jordan constant J such that any finite subgroup has an abelian subgroup with index bounded by J. 
I will survey known results for Jordan property on certain automorphism groups and birational automorphism groups of varieties. 
I will also explain our recent progress on automorphism groups of compact spaces in Fujiki’s class C. This is a joint work with Fabio Perroni and De-Qi Zhang.

Venue:  the seminar will take place online via Zoom.
