Rationality of Varieties
Author: Gavril Farkas
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030754219
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
This book provides an overview of the latest progress on rationality questions in algebraic geometry. It discusses new developments such as universal triviality of the Chow group of zero cycles, various aspects of stable birationality, cubic and Fano fourfolds, rationality of moduli spaces and birational invariants of group actions on varieties, contributed by the foremost experts in their fields. The question of whether an algebraic variety can be parametrized by rational functions of as many variables as its dimension has a long history and played an important role in the history of algebraic geometry. Recent developments in algebraic geometry have made this question again a focal point of research and formed the impetus to organize a conference in the series of conferences on the island of Schiermonnikoog. The book follows in the tradition of earlier volumes, which originated from conferences on the islands Texel and Schiermonnikoog.

Birational Geometry, Kähler–Einstein Metrics and Degenerations
Author: Ivan Cheltsov
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031178599
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 882
Book Description
This book collects the proceedings of a series of conferences dedicated to birational geometry of Fano varieties held in Moscow, Shanghai and Pohang The conferences were focused on the following two related problems: • existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on Fano varieties • degenerations of Fano varieties on which two famous conjectures were recently proved. The first is the famous Borisov–Alexeev–Borisov Conjecture on the boundedness of Fano varieties, proved by Caucher Birkar (for which he was awarded the Fields medal in 2018), and the second one is the (arguably even more famous) Tian–Yau–Donaldson Conjecture on the existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on (smooth) Fano varieties and K-stability, which was proved by Xiuxiong Chen, Sir Simon Donaldson and Song Sun. The solutions for these longstanding conjectures have opened new directions in birational and Kähler geometries. These research directions generated new interesting mathematical problems, attracting the attention of mathematicians worldwide. These conferences brought together top researchers in both fields (birational geometry and complex geometry) to solve some of these problems and understand the relations between them. The result of this activity is collected in this book, which contains contributions by sixty nine mathematicians, who contributed forty three research and survey papers to this volume. Many of them were participants of the Moscow–Shanghai–Pohang conferences, while the others helped to expand the research breadth of the volume—the diversity of their contributions reflects the vitality of modern Algebraic Geometry.

On Sudakov's Type Decomposition of Transference Plans with Norm Costs
Author: Stefano Bianchini
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470427664
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The authors consider the original strategy proposed by Sudakov for solving the Monge transportation problem with norm cost with , probability measures in and absolutely continuous w.r.t. . The key idea in this approach is to decompose (via disintegration of measures) the Kantorovich optimal transportation problem into a family of transportation problems in , where are disjoint regions such that the construction of an optimal map is simpler than in the original problem, and then to obtain by piecing together the maps . When the norm is strictly convex, the sets are a family of -dimensional segments determined by the Kantorovich potential called optimal rays, while the existence of the map is straightforward provided one can show that the disintegration of (and thus of ) on such segments is absolutely continuous w.r.t. the -dimensional Hausdorff measure. When the norm is not strictly convex, the main problems in this kind of approach are two: first, to identify a suitable family of regions on which the transport problem decomposes into simpler ones, and then to prove the existence of optimal maps. In this paper the authors show how these difficulties can be overcome, and that the original idea of Sudakov can be successfully implemented. The results yield a complete characterization of the Kantorovich optimal transportation problem, whose straightforward corollary is the solution of the Monge problem in each set and then in . The strategy is sufficiently powerful to be applied to other optimal transportation problems.

Applications of Polyfold Theory I: The Polyfolds of Gromov-Witten Theory
Author: H. Hofer
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470422034
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
In this paper the authors start with the construction of the symplectic field theory (SFT). As a general theory of symplectic invariants, SFT has been outlined in Introduction to symplectic field theory (2000), by Y. Eliashberg, A. Givental and H. Hofer who have predicted its formal properties. The actual construction of SFT is a hard analytical problem which will be overcome be means of the polyfold theory due to the present authors. The current paper addresses a significant amount of the arising issues and the general theory will be completed in part II of this paper. To illustrate the polyfold theory the authors use the results of the present paper to describe an alternative construction of the Gromov-Witten invariants for general compact symplectic manifolds.

Knot Invariants and Higher Representation Theory
Author: Ben Webster
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470426501
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
The author constructs knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. He shows that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for sl and sl and by Mazorchuk-Stroppel and Sussan for sl . The author's technique is to study 2-representations of 2-quantum groups (in the sense of Rouquier and Khovanov-Lauda) categorifying tensor products of irreducible representations. These are the representation categories of certain finite dimensional algebras with an explicit diagrammatic presentation, generalizing the cyclotomic quotient of the KLR algebra. When the Lie algebra under consideration is sl , the author shows that these categories agree with certain subcategories of parabolic category for gl .
