Cubic fourfolds, hyper-Kähler varieties and algebraic cycles
Lyon, October 11-12, 2016
Description
Rationality problem for cubic hypersurfaces is a long standing problem. The work of Clemens-Griffiths shows the irrationality of cubic threefolds. But the stable rationality is still open. On the other hand, the higher dimensional case still remains mysterious. One expects that the rationality of cubic fourfolds is closely related to the Fano variety of lines, which is itself a hyperKähler manifold. The study of hyperKähler manifolds has also received lots of attentions. In addition to the "classical" approach to these questions, in recent years there is a surge of research from the point of views of derived categories and stability conditions. The past few years have witnessed a great advance in all the above-mentioned topics. This workshop will bring together experts in the field and present the most recent advances.
