Moduli of curves, surfaces and their invariants
Conference, Palazzo del Castelletto, Pisa, Italy
Moduli spaces are at the core of many algebraic geometers’ lives, as their geometry encodes the behavior of varieties in families. Studying cycle-theoretic, cohomological and arithmetic invariants of these spaces has proven to be of the utmost importance, with far-reaching applications in enumerative geometry, number theory and theoretical physics. The conference aims at bringing together researchers working on moduli of curves and surfaces, so to start a fruitful contamination of ideas and to foster informal discussions on the compelling open questions in these fields.
