Birational Geometry and Moduli Spaces

This volume collects contributions from speakers at the INdAM Workshop Birational Geometry and Moduli Spaces, which was held in Rome on 1115 June 2018. The workshop was devoted to the interplay between birational geometry and moduli spaces and the contributions of the volume reflect the same idea, focusing on both these areas and their interaction. In particular, the book includes both surveys and original papers on irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds, Severi varieties, degenerations of Calabi-Yau varieties, uniruled threefolds, toric Fano threefolds, mirror symmetry, canonical bundle formula, the Lefschetz principle, birational transformations, and deformations of diagrams of algebras. The intention is to disseminate the knowledge of advanced results and key techniques used to solve open problems. The book is intended for all advanced graduate students and researchers interested in the new research frontiers of birational geometry and moduli spaces.

Includes high-quality contributions from leading experts Provides a wide variety of examples and up-to-date surveys Offers new connections between birational geometry and moduli spaces
