Introduction to the Minimal Model Program and Singularity Theory
Abstract: I will give an introduction to the minimal model program, which is a long and
still ongoing journey of algebraic geometers trying to find relative simple representatives of algebraic varieties. I will also talk about theorems of singularities
occurring in the minimal model program.
This talk is meant to be accessible for graduate students of all levels; no technical knowledge of algebraic geometry is expected.
