Higher Dimensional Varieties and Rational Points

September 2-22, 2001

Budapest, Hungary

Mathematics

Host: Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences
Homepage: http://www.renyi.hu/~arithgeo/homepage.html
Email: arithgeo@renyi.hu

Organizers: Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélčne (co-chair, Orsay), János Kollár (co-chair, Princeton University)

Description:
The programme is organized in order to encourage collaboration between specialists in higher dimensional complex geometry and those studying arithmetic/diophantine questions. In recent years it became apparent that the powerful geometric tools elaborated in connection with Mori's Minimal Model Program have applications over arithmetic ground fields as well. We hope that bringing together experts and graduate students specialising in higher dimensional geometry or arithmetic will induce further cross-fertilization between the two fields and give rise to new powerful results.

Main topics:

classification and minimal models of varieties; rationally connected varieties; rational and integral points; fundamental groups and Galois groups.
