"NIP"

This learning seminar will be reading through parts of Pierre Simon’s book “A Guide to NIP Theories”. In this talk I will give a non-technical introduction to the subject, explaining some of the history and motivation behind considering these theories.

Continuing from where we left off, I will explain more properties of the chow ring along with more examples (such as Veronese embedding). Near the end, I will explain the first Chern class of a line bundle and draw connections to canonical divisors of various varieties.
