Workshop
“Derived categories and birational geometry”
Mon 1st - Sat 6th June 2015, University of Warwick
The goal of this workshop is to bring together specialists in
birational geometry and derived categories to develop and capitalise
on some of the advances made in the last decade in these subjects.
These include Kawamata's description of Minimal Model Program for
derived categories of toric stacks, Van den Berg and Iyama-Wemyss’
constructions of noncommutative resolutions of singularities and
Kuznetsov–Lunts’ construction of a categorical resolution of
irrational singularities.
Scope:
Minimal model program via derived categories. Mori contractions and exceptional objects, flops and spherical objects. Categorical resolution of singularities. Birational invariants via derived categories. Homological projective duality.
