information about joining the meeting.

Speaker: Aline Zanardini (University of Leiden)

The talk is divided in 2 parts, the 1st part is for more general audience
and the 2nd part is on current research.

_*Part 1: What is GIT? Why pencils of plane curves?*_

Abstract: I plan to first give a quick introduction to geometric 
invariant theory (GIT) as well as to describe what my motivation is for 
studying the problem that I will discuss in Part 2.

_*Part 2: On the GIT stability of pencils of plane curves*_

Abstract: In the second part of the talk, I will present a possible 
approach to the problem of classifying pencils of plane curves up to 
projective equivalence via geometric invariant theory. In particular, I 
will explain how the stability of a pencil is related to the stability of
its generators, to the log canonical threshold, and to the 
multiplicities of a base point. And I will also discuss some relevant 
examples.
