Topics in Algebraic Geometry: Fano varieties

This is the website for the research seminar on Fano varieties.

The seminar will take place at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn and at the University of Mainz on certain Fridays.

Our aim is to treat as many different aspects of Fano varieties such as the classification of Fano threefolds, the boundedness of Fano varieties, the rationality or non-rationality of certain classes of Fano varieties, properties of automorphism groups of Fano varieties,  period maps of Fano varieties, Mukai's conjectures on invariants of Fano varieties, and more.

Organizers: Ariyan Javanpeykar (Mainz), Lars Kühne (Bonn), Ronan Terpereau (Bonn)

The program is still incomplete, and we welcome suggestions and improvements from participants.

Every meeting the topic will change, as we hope to touch upon as many different algebro-geometric aspects of Fano varieties. Please find below a brief description of every meeting.
