Recent Developments in Algebraic Geometry by Hamid Abban

Recent Developments in Algebraic Geometry by Hamid Abban

Written in celebration of Miles Reid's 70th birthday, this illuminating volume contains 11 papers by leading mathematicians in and around algebraic geometry, broadly related to the themes and interests of Reid's varied career. Just as in Reid's own scientific output, some of the papers give comprehensive accounts of the state of the art of foundational matters, while others give expositions of subject areas or techniques in concrete terms. Reid has been one of the major expositors of algebraic geometry and a great influence on many in this field – this book hopes to inspire a new generation of graduate students and researchers in his tradition.

Hamid Abban is Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at Loughborough University. His research mainly focuses on birational geometry of Fano varieties and various stability conditions on them. His work on birational geometry of 3-folds is influenced by the foundations laid by Reid. Gavin Brown is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick. He has worked with Miles Reid for 30 years, as graduate student and collaborator on several joint papers. He worked in Sydney on the Magma Computational Algebra project, which led to the Graded Ring Database, an online resource which presents progress on Reid's graded ring approach to the classification of Fano 3-folds. Alexander Kasprzyk is Associate Professor in Geometry at the University of Nottingham. He applies combinatorial and computational techniques to classification problems in geometry. Whilst at Imperial College, he helped to establish a long-term research programme, strongly influenced by many of Reid's ideas, classifying Fano varieties using techniques from mirror symmetry. Shigefumi Mori is Director-General and Distinguished Professor at the Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study (KUIAS), Kyoto University. Mori initiated the minimal model program jointly with Miles Reid during 1980–3, completed its 3-dimensional case in 1988, and received the Cole Prize and the Fields Medal in 1990. He served the International Mathematical Union as President during 2015–18.
