Clay Mathematics Institute 2012 Summer School "The Resolution of Singular Algebraic Varieties"
Month: June 2012
Date: June 3--30
Name: Clay Mathematics Institute 2012 Summer School "The Resolution of Singular Algebraic Varieties"
Location: Obergurgl, Tyrolean Alps, Austria.
Description
The resolution of singularities is one of the major topics in algebraic geometry. Due to its difficulty and complexity, as well as certain historical reasons, research to date in the field has been pursued by a relatively small group of mathematicians. However, the field has begun a renaissance over the last twenty years. This school will consist of three weeks of foundational courses supplemented by exercise and problem sessions, designed to provide graduate students and young mathematicians with a comprehensive framework for research in this field. The fourth week will consist of mini-courses with selected experts, aimed at providing participants with state of the art techniques, as well as a survey of some of the main open problems and the most promising approaches now under investigation. Facilities will be provided for lectures, meals and lodging at the Obergurgl Center.
Deadline
For applications is February 1, 2012.
