DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/Algeb
 raicgeometry/1/">Classification theory of algebraic varieties (1)</a>\nby 
 Caucher Birkar (University of Cambridge) as part of Monroe Martin lectures
 \n\n\nAbstract\nThe first lecture is for the general audience. But the oth
 er two are for people with an algebraic geometry background.\n\nAbstract: 
 The classification of algebraic varieties is at the heart of algebraic geo
 metry. With roots in the ancient world the theory saw great advances in di
 mensions one and two in the 19th century and the first half of 20th centur
 y. It was only in the 1970-80's that a general framework was formulated\, 
 and by the early 1990's a satisfactory theory was developed in dimension 3
 . The last 30 years has seen great progress in all dimensions.\n\nIn the f
 irst lecture I will try to give a historical perspective and discuss the t
 heory in general terms. I will explain how the theory is based on biration
 al transformations and moduli considerations.\n

 econd lecture I will discuss log Calabi-Yau fibrations. This is a class of
  spaces which includes Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties and their local count
 erparts. They are of great importance in the classification theory and wel
 l beyond.\n

 hird lecture I will talk about generalised pairs. This is a recently devel
 oped notion generalising the notions of varieties and pairs. It has found 
 many applications and fits well into the classification theory.\n
