U.S.-Japan Seminar: Classification of Algebraic Varieties/ March 1996/Baltimore, Maryland

该奖项支持10名美国科学家参加将于1996年3月在巴尔的摩约翰霍普金斯大学举行的美日代数品种分类研讨会。联合组织者是约翰霍普金斯大学的Vyacheslav Shokurov博士和东京大学的Yujiro Kawamata教授。研讨会将集中讨论对数最小模型计划的最新进展及其在代数品种分类中的应用，特别是对数法诺斯和卡拉比-尧斯的分类。讨论的主题包括：向量束、陈恩数、有理黎曼-洛克；对数除数和象的补全；对数结构;刚性空间。这次研讨会将促进日本和美国科学家之间的接触，这有望对该领域的未来发展产生重大影响。拟议的与会者和观察员是根据他们过去在该领域的贡献和目前的活动而选定的，预计会议将为今后的合作与交流制定具体计划。因此，该提案通过国际合作实现了该计划在科学知识交流和转移方面的目标。＊＊＊

9416927 Shokurov This award supports the participation of 10 U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on the Classification of Algebraic Varieties, to be held at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore in March 1996. The co-organizers are Dr. Vyacheslav Shokurov of the Johns Hopkins University and Professor Yujiro Kawamata of the University of Tokyo. The seminar will focus on recent advances in the Log Minimal Model Program and its applications to the classification of algebraic varieties, in particular, log Fanos and Calabi- Yaus. Topics to be discussed include: vector bundles, chern numbers, rational Riemann-Roch; completions of log divisors and elephants; logarithmic structures; and rigid spaces. The seminar will foster the type of contact between Japanese and U.S. scientists that can be expected to have significant influence on the future course of the field. The proposed participants and observers have been selected for their past contributions and current activity in the field and the meeting can be expected to produce concrete plans for future cooperation and exchange. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
