RTG/SCGP Graduate Workshop on the Birational Complexity of Algebraic Varieties: December 5-9, 2022

Participant List Schedule
Danfords ShuttleBus Schedule from Pass Way

This instructional workshop, aimed at graduate students familiar with basic algebraic geometry, will introduce attendees to rationality problems, measures of irrationality, and groups of birational automorphisms such as the Cremona group. The SCGP will host a research workshop Birational Complexity of Algebraic Varieties the following week (December 12-16, 2022, SCGP).

The Graduate workshop will revolve around four series of lectures:

Olivier Debarre on rationality problems;
John Ottem on curves in algebraic varieties;
Julia Schneider on the Cremona group; and
Brooke Ullery and Ruijie Yang on measures of irrationality.
