Description

The aim of the school is to bring together 20/30 young researchers in a cosy contest to teach them new results and methods on the generalised rationality problems, e.g. stable rationality, and the birational rigidity problem for rationally connected varieties.

The two main courses will also be enriched by series of complementary lectures mainly focused on explicit calculations taught by two assistants who are distinguished researches themselves.

LECTURERS:

Claire Voisin (Collège de France) Course Title: Stable birational invariants and the generalised Lüroth problem Supporting lecturer: Mingmin Shen (University of Amsterdam)

Ivan Cheltsov (University of Edinburgh) Course Title: Birationally rigid and nearly birationally rigid varieties Supporting lecturer: Hamid Ahmadinezhad (Loughborough University)

To be admitted, for bureaucratic reasons, it is compulsory to pay a participation fee some days before the starting of the school. This fee includes half board for 6 days, and it will be refunded upon request.

Deadline for full reimbursement of the fee: 31st May, 2017.

We can refund partially travel and other expenses for a limited number of participants. Deadline for this request: 31st May, 2017.
