Dear colleagues, 

It is my pleasure to announce a special HU Colloquium on Monday 9th of December at 13:15 
in room 1.013 given by the Fields Medallist Caucher Birkar on 

Applications of algebraic geometry 

Abstract: Algebraic geometry occupies a central place in 
modern mathematics. It has deep connections with various parts of 
mathematics. It is also deeply related to mathematical physics and has 
found applications in a wide range of topics. In this talk I will 
introduce some elements of algebraic geometry and then discuss some 
applications. 

Caucher Birkar is an iranian-kurdish mathematician who is Professor at the University of Cambridge. 
His fundamental contribution to algebraic geometry, in particular to the classification of algebraic varieties have been recognized with several important prizes, culminating with the Fields Medal in 2018. 
His talk will be designed for a general audience. Everybody is most welcome. 

Best regards, 

Gavril Farkas.
