The
LMS Durham
Research Symposia
began in 1974, and form an established series of
international research meetings, with over 90 symposia to date. They
provide an excellent opportunity to explore an area of research in
depth, to learn of new developments, and to instigate links between
different branches. The format is designed to allow substantial time
for interaction and research. The meetings are held in July and August, usually
lasting for 10 days, with up to 70 participants, roughly half of whom
will come from the UK. Lectures and seminars take place in the
Department of Mathematical Sciences,
University of Durham |

Outline
The focus of the symposium is on the many interactions of birational
geometry with allied fields. An emphasis will be placed on connections
between birational geometry and moduli spaces, arithmetic geometry,
differential geometry, derived categories, singularity theory and Hodge
theory.
In order to seed future research there will be several survey
lectures of a less technical nature:
- Nero Budur: Birational geometry and singularities.
- Osamu Fujino: Birational geometry and Hodge theory.
- Yujiro Kawamata: Birational geometry and derived categories.
- Mihai Paun: Birational geometry and analytic geometry.
- Yuri Tschinkel: Birational geometry and arithmetic geometry.
