AIM Workshop: Stability and moduli spaces
January 9, 2017 - January 13, 2017
American Institute of Mathematics, San Jose, CA
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to appreciating the role played by $K$-stability, Kollar-Shepherd-Barron- Alexeev (KSBA) stability, GIT stability, and Bridgeland stability in the construction and compactification of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry. The organizing theme will be to investigate connections between these flavors of stability, with the goals of incubating new moduli spaces of curves, surfaces, and higher-dimensional varieties and of clarifying the birational geometry of familiar ones.
