BIrational Geometry, Group Actions, and Moduli spacES (BIGGAMES)


The research areas of the members of the BIrational Geometry, Group Actions, and Moduli spacES (BIGGAMES) group include:




The aim of this project is the study of problems in Mathematics dealing mainly with geometric, algebraic and arithmetic aspects of varieties equipped the action of a group. This includes birational properties and the moduli spaces classifying them. We will treat their theoretical aspects, but also their computational features and applications. To be more precise, we will focus on varieties with group actions, moduli spaces and several positivity conditions in birational geometry.

This project is funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, grant PID2023-147642NB-I00, and it is a natural continuation of the previous grants GALATEA and VALLDARAM.

Activities


Seminar activities are numerous and include a wide range from informal learning groups to more formal seminars.

The Algebraic Geometry Seminar, together with the other groups in Barcelona, meets on Friday afternoons (Seminari de Geometria Algebraica de Barcelona).


The SMGA brings together once or twice a year algebraic geometers (and neighbours) from Marseille, Montpellier, Nice, Toulouse, Barcelona, Genova and beyond. In November 2023, SMGA took place in Barcelona for the first time.
