[geometry-ml:02887] MS seminar at Kavli IPMU -- Patricio Gallardo (U of Georgia) -- Feb 21, 2017

[Todor Milanov]

Dear all,

I would like to announce the following Mathematics and String theory seminar at Kavli IPMU.

Speaker: Patricio Gallardo (U of Georgia)
Date:	Tue, Feb 21, 2017, 13:15 - 14:45
Place:	Seminar Room A

Title: On geometric invariant theory for hypersurfaces and their hyperplane sections.

Abstract: Geometric Invariant Theory (or GIT) is a method for constructing moduli spaces of varieties in algebraic geometry. In particular, for a hypersurface and a hyperplane in projective space, there is a combinatorial algorithm that allows us to describe the varieties parametrized by the GIT quotient. We will discuss the implementation of this algorithm, its geometric interpretation, and an application of its output for the case of a cubic surface and their anticanonical divisor. The topic of this talk is joint work with J. Martinez-Garcia.
