The rich world of Fano geometry

Caucher Birkar, Tsinghua University

SMRI Seminar, 27th November 2025

1 pm – 2 pm, SMRI Seminar Room (A12 Macleay Room 301)

Abstract: Fano varieties and more general Fano structures on algebraic varieties are of fundamental importance in modern mathematics. In fact, they have been central objects throughout the history of algebraic geometry. In this lecture I will discuss some fascinating aspects of the Fano world in various contexts mentioning recent results as well as open problems.
