Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Stability and moduli spaces ---------------------------------------------------------------- January 9 to January 13, 2017 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/stabmoduli ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to appreciating the role played by $K$-stability, Kollar-Shepherd-Barron- Alexeev (KSBA) stability, GIT stability, and Bridgeland stability in the construction and compactification of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry. The organizing theme will be to investigate connections between these flavors of stability, with the goals of incubating new moduli spaces of curves, surfaces, and higher-dimensional varieties and of clarifying the birational geometry of familiar ones. The workshop is organized by Anand Deopurkar, Maksym Fedorchuk, Ian Morrison, and Xiaowei Wang. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/stabmoduli Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than September 9, 2016. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
