Events and scientific activities
- 18-22 April 2016, Warsaw: Introductory school "Varieties of Calabi-Yau type (K3, Hyperkähler, Calabi-Yau)", Organisers: Lars Halvard Halle, Michał Kapustka, Oskar Kędzierski, Vladimir Lazić.
- 16-21 May 2016, Cracow: Workshop "Asymptotic invariants attached to linear series", Organisers: Jarosław Buczyński, Piotr Pokora, Sławomir Rams, Tomasz Szemberg.
- 12-18 June 2016, Będlewo: Conference "Varieties with trivial canonical bundles", Organisers: Paweł Borówka, Sławomir Cynk, Maria Donten-Bury, Grzegorz Kapustka, Sławomir Rams.
In between, there were lectures, seminars and lecture series by the participants and short term guests (all in Warsaw). The schedule of activities during the nine weeks of minisemester is presented here.
In publications an acknowledgement "This work was partially supported by the grant 346300 for IMPAN from the Simons Foundation and the matching 2015-2019 Polish MNiSW fund” would be appreciated.
Participants are also kindly asked to add a "Report number" to all publications posted on arxiv.org, which are related to participation in the mini-Semester on Algebraic Geometry in Warsaw 18.04-18.06.2016. The code to add is:
BCSim-2016-s02
One can add this code:
1) upon a submission of the paper,
2) upon submitting a revision,
3) without changing the paper.
For 1), and 2), one just adds the report number as a part of Metadata.
For 3), in personal arxiv account, click "journal-ref" and add the code in the field "Report number".
Applications
The deadline for applications passed on 15 March 2016.
Funding
The application deadline for financial support passed on 15 February 2016.
Financial support provided by the Simons Foundation, MNiSW and IM PAN.
Participants were encouraged to arrange visits to other Polish universities and institutes. Limited travel funding was designated for such visits, upon an approval by the organisers.
Proceedings
The proceedings of miniPAGES will be published as a volume of Banach Center Publications. The call for submissions can be found here.
