DESCRIPTION:Title: Blown-up toric surfaces with non-polyhedral effective cone\nby Ana-Ma
ria Castravet (Université Paris-Saclay\, UVSQ) as part of EDGE 2020 (onli
ne)\n\n\nAbstract\nI will report on recent joint work with Antonio Laface\
, Jenia Tevelev and Luca Ugaglia. We construct examples of projective tori
c surfaces whose blow-up at a general point has a non-polyhedral effective
cone\, both in characteristic 0 and in prime characteristic. As a conseq
uence\, we prove that the effective cone of the Grothendieck-Knudsen modul
i space of stable\, n-pointed\, rational stable curves\, is not polyhedra
l if n>=10 in characteristic 0 and in positive characteristic for an infi
nite set of primes of positive density. In particular\, these moduli space
s are not Mori dream spaces even in positive characteristic.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The complex geometry of Bridgeland stability conditions\nby Ruadhaí
Dervan (University of Cambridge) as part of EDGE 2020 (online)\n\n\nAbstra
ct\nI will discuss geometric partial differential equations on holomorphic
vector bundles that one can associate to Bridgeland stability conditions.
The setup can be seen as a generalisation of the Hitchin-Kobayashi corres
pondence\, which relates slope stability of vector bundles with the existe
nce of Hermite-Einstein metrics. I will then describe some foundational re
sults concerning these new equations. The algebraic geometry involved will
be light on technicalities\; triangulated categories will not appear. Thi
s is joint work with John McCarthy and Lars Sektnan.\n

ng) The K-moduli which parametrizes K-polystable Fano varieties is conject
urally to be projective. In this talk\, I will discuss the result we obtai
ned for the positivity of the CM line bundle on the K-moduli. In particula
r\, it implies the (proper) component parametrizing smoothable K-polystabl

DESCRIPTION:Title: On K-stability of some singular del Pezzo surfaces\nby Nivedita Viswa
nathan (University of Edinburgh) as part of EDGE 2020 (online)\n\n\nAbstra
ct\nThere has been a lot of development recently in understanding the exis
tence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds due to the Yau-Tian-Don
aldson conjecture\, which gives us a way of looking at this problem in ter
ms of the notion of K-stability. In particular\, this problem is solved in
totality for smooth del Pezzo surfaces by Tian. For del Pezzo surfaces wi
th quotient singularities\, there are partial results. In this talk\, we w
ill consider singular del Pezzo surfaces which are quasi-smooth\, well-for
med hypersurfaces in weighted projective space\, and understand what we ca
n say about their K-stability. This is joint work with In-Kyun Kim and Joo
nyeong Won.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Birational geometry of Calabi-Yau pairs and 3-dimensional Cremona transfo
rmations\nby Carolina Araujo (IMPA) as part of EDGE 2020 (online)\n\n\
nAbstract\nRecently\, Oguiso addressed the following question\, attributed
to Gizatullin: ``Which automorphisms of a smooth quartic K3 surface $D\\s
ubset \\mathbb{P}^3$ are induced by Cremona transformations of the ambient
space $\\mathbb{P}^3$?'' When $D\\subset \\mathbb{P}^3$ is a quartic sur
face\, $(\\mathbb{P}^3\,D)$ is an example of a \\emph{Calabi-Yau pair}\, t
hat is\, a pair $(X\,D)$\, consisting of a normal projective variety $X$ a
nd an effective Weil divisor $D$ on $X$ such that $K_X+D\\sim 0$. Gizatull
in's question is about birational properties of the Calabi-Yau pair $(\\ma
thbb{P}^3\,D)$. In this talk\, I will explain a general framework to study
the birational geometry of mildly singular Calabi-Yau pairs. Then I will
focus on the case of singular quartic surfaces $D\\subset \\mathbb{P}^3$.
Our results illustrate how the appearance of increasingly worse singularit
ies in $D$ enriches the birational geometry of the pair $(\\mathbb{P}^3\,
D)$\, and lead to interesting subgroups of the Cremona group of $\\mathbb{
P}^3$. This is joint work with Alessio Corti and Alex Massarenti.\n

ract\nIn 2009\, I.Dolgachev and V.Iskovskikh classified finite subgroups o
f the birational automorphism groups of the projective plane over an algeb
raically closed field of characteristic zero. I will explain an analog of
their result for birational automorphism groups of Severi-Brauer surfaces\
, i.e.\, surfaces that become isomorphic to the projective plane after pas
sing to the algebraic closure of the base field. The classification is obt
ained by using geometric techniques based on the Minimal Model Program tog
ether with some theory of central simple algebras.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Constructing new moduli space via non-reductive geometric invariant theor
y\nby Victoria Hoskins (Radboud University Nijmegen) as part of EDGE 2
020 (online)\n\n\nAbstract\nThere are some moduli problems where non-reduc
tive groups naturally appear: for example\, moduli of hypersurfaces in tor
ic varieties\, which may have non-reductive automorphism groups\, and modu
li of certain unstable objects\, such as vector bundles of fixed Harder-Na
rasimhan type\, where there is naturally a parabolic group action. In this
talk\, I will give an introduction to non-reductive GIT and explain how t
o construct quotients when the unipotent radical is 'graded' by a copy of
the multiplicative group. I will then report on joint work in progress wit
h G. Berczi\, J. Jackson and F. Kirwan on the construction of moduli space
s of sheaves of fixed Harder-Narasimhan type.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Enumerative applications of non-reductive GIT\nby Gergely Bérczi (Aa
rhus University) as part of EDGE 2020 (online)\n\n\nAbstract\nPolynomial r
eparametrisation groups form the symmetries of jets of holomorphic curves
in complex manifolds. They play central role in various classical problems
in geometry. I report on recent work in two\, seemingly unrelated questio
ns: (i) degeneracy loci of holomorphic maps between complex manifolds and
Thom polynomials of singularities and (ii) the Green-Griffiths-Land and Ko
bayashi hyperbolicity conjectures. I will explain why moduli of jets is a
link between the two\, and how recently developed intersection theory of n
on-reductive GIT quotients led to the proof of the polynomial Kobayashi co
njecture\, and resulted in new formulas for Thom polynomials.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Cohomology of GIT quotients\, reductive and non-reductive\nby Eloise
Hamilton (University of Oxford) as part of EDGE 2020 (online)\n\n\nAbstrac
t\nGeometric Invariant Theory (GIT) is a powerful tool not only for constr
ucting quotients in algebraic geometry\, but also for studying the geometr
y of these quotients. The aim of this talk is to explain how to calculate
the (rational) cohomology of quotients constructed on the one hand using c
lassical GIT\, and on the other using a recent generalisation of GIT\, cal
led Non-Reductive GIT. As its name suggests\, Non-Reductive GIT enables th
e construction of quotients by a certain class of non-reductive group acti
ons. After reviewing existing methods for computing the Poincare series of
classical GIT quotients when the initial variety is smooth\, we will show
how similar methods can be used to compute the Poincare series of non-red
uctive GIT quotients.\n

Spotti (Aarhus University) as part of EDGE 2020 (online)\n\n\nAbstract\nA
natural intriguing question is the following: how much the moduli spaces o
f certain polarized varieties know about the symplectic geometry of the un
derneath manifold? After giving an overview\, I will discuss joint work wi
th T. Baier\, G. Granja and R. Sena-Dias where we investigate some relatio
ns between the topology of the moduli spaces of certain varieties\, of the
symplectomorphism group and of the space of compatible integrable complex
structures. In particular\, using results of J. Evans\, we show that the
space of such complex structures for monotone del Pezzo surfaces of degree
four and five is weakly homotopically contractible.\n

will show how to use the combinatorics of lattice polytopes to construct
examples of K-polystable toric Fano varieties with obstructed deformations

mplexity 1 Kento Fujita's divisorial polystability is (almost) equivalent
to K-polystability. One practical implication will be that for testing K-p
olystability of such T-varieties it is sufficient to calculate beta-invari
