What is...a higher dimensional stable variety?
Abstract: In this talk I will review how one figures out the right
definition for a stable variety in higher dimensions. This stability is
independent of GIT and it is only called stable by
analogy. I will mention
many new challenges that arise in higher dimensions that
are absent in the
case of curves. Yet, stable varieties of dimension 1 in
this "new sense"
are the same as stable curves, so this is a direct
generalization.
The talk is aimed at graduate student with some basic
knowledge of algebraic geometry.
