Venue: Room 420, Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences,

Kyoto University, Japan

Period: July 7 (Mon) to July 11 (Fri), 2014

Algebraic geometry and related fields have recently seen remarkable developments in automorphism groups (including birational automorphism groups) and algebraic group actions. We will hold an international workshop within the RIMS workshop programs and specialized in the following items. This workshop will be useful to you interested in these areas.
Topics of interest
(1) Log algebraic surfaces and varieties of higher dimension
(2) Algebraic varieties containing A^n-cylinders
(3) Contractible and acyclic varieties
(4) Algebraic group actions and orbit stratifications including spherical and unipotent varieties
(5) Problems related to the coordinate ring of any of the above varieties
(6) Automorphism groups and birational automorphism groups of any of the above varieties
