“Fourier-Mukai, 34 years on”

This workshop forms part of the EPSRC Warwick Symposium 2014-15: Derived categories and applications
DCat2014-15 Main Venue Program Abstracts Registration


Fourier–Mukai transforms were introduced in a celebrated paper of Mukai in 1981. His motivation was to obtain new information about certain moduli spaces. Since then, the theory has been massively developed and applied. The VBAC 2015 workshop will review these developments and draw attention to potential new applications.

The focus of the workshop will be the interaction between the study of derived categories and more classical problems in algebraic geometry. Topics to be covered include enumerative geometry, the geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves and Bridgeland stability. We shall also look at the relation to Morita theory and to the conjectural interpretation of the geometric Langlands correspondence.
