DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/Algebraicgeo
 metry/1/">Classification theory of algebraic varieties (1)</a>\nby Caucher
  Birkar (University of Cambridge) as part of Monroe Martin lectures\n\n\nA
 bstract\nThe first lecture is for the general audience. But the other two 
 are for people with an algebraic geometry background.\n\nAbstract: The cla
 ssification of algebraic varieties is at the heart of algebraic geometry. 
 With roots in the ancient world the theory saw great advances in dimension
 s one and two in the 19th century and the first half of 20th century. It w
 as only in the 1970-80's that a general framework was formulated\, and by 
 the early 1990's a satisfactory theory was developed in dimension 3. The l
 ast 30 years has seen great progress in all dimensions.\n\nIn the first le
 cture I will try to give a historical perspective and discuss the theory i
 n general terms. I will explain how the theory is based on birational tran
 sformations and moduli considerations.\n

 ecture I will discuss log Calabi-Yau fibrations. This is a class of spaces
  which includes Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties and their local counterparts
 . They are of great importance in the classification theory and well beyon
 d.\n

 cture I will talk about generalised pairs. This is a recently developed no
 tion generalising the notions of varieties and pairs. It has found many ap
 plications and fits well into the classification theory.\n
