Title: Minimal Log Discrepancy and Orbifold Curves.Abstract: We show that the minimal log discrepancy of any isolated Fano cone singularity is at most the dimension of the variety. This is based on its relation with dimensions of moduli spaces of orbifold rational curves. We also propose a conjectural characterization of weighted projective spaces as Fano orbifolds in […]
This event will feature a panel of faculty from our math department to provide support for students seeking to learn more about the process of applying to graduate school in mathematics. It will help students choose schools based on interests and gain unique insights into what the whole process entails.
Title: Two-row Delta Springer varietiesAbstract: I will discuss the geometry and topology of a certain family of so-called Delta Springer varieties from an explicit, diagrammatic point of view. These singular varieties were introduced by Griffin—Levinson—Woo in 2021 in order to give a geometric realization of an expression that appears in the t = 0 case of […]
