Abstract
I will discuss some concepts and results in birational geometry with applications to physics.
Speaker Intro
Professor Birkar, the 2018 Fields Medalist, works in algebraic geometry, in particular, birational geometry. His work involves various topics such as minimal models,Fano and Calabi-Yau and general type varieties, singularity theory, positive characteristic geometry, etc.
