"A Brief Introduction to the General MMP Part 2"

Continuing from where we left off last time, I will discuss singularities of the MMP. Then, I will give a brief explanation of how the higher-dimensional MMP works; note that there will be some key differences from the surface case, including flips.

This seminar will be held jointly online and in person:

"Not pfaffian, Part II"

James Freitag has shown that the j-function is not Pfaffian using the model theory of differentially closed fields. We will work though his paper, entitled "Not pfaffian".
