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

9416927肖库罗夫该奖项支持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Log Minimum Model Program的最新进展及其在代数变种分类中的应用，特别是LOG Fanos和Calabi-Yaus。讨论的主题包括：向量丛、陈数、有理Riemann-Roch、对数因子和大象的完备化、对数结构和刚性空间。研讨会将促进日本和美国科学家之间的接触，预计这种接触将对该领域的未来进程产生重大影响。拟议的与会者和观察员是根据他们过去的贡献和目前在实地的活动挑选出来的，可以预期这次会议将为未来的合作和交流制定具体计划。因此，这项建议实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。***

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. ***
