European Algebraic Geometry Research Training Network - node Warsaw

Description of Warsaw's node

The research strengths of the node are the teams around established leaders (Bialynicki-Birula in Warsaw and Lojasiewicz in Cracow) in addition to new directions developed over the last ten years in cooperation with foreign centres, including nodes of EAGER.

The school around Bialynicki-Birula studying group action and toric varieties is a world class research team, containing a number of prominent researchers (Bialynicki-Birula, Jurkiewicz, Konarski, Koras, Swiecicka, Wlodarczyk). The research group working on surfaces and higher dimensional varieties, including linear systems and singularities, is relatively young and gained its expertise through contact with other European algebraic geometry centres. The group includes Langer, Szurek, Weber and Wisniewski in Warsaw and Cygan, Cynk, Jelonek, Kwiecinski, Szemberg, Tutaj-Gasinska and Tworzewski in Cracow.

Our current cross-border scientific projects include: abelian varieties (Szemberg and Bauer, Erlangen), Calabi-Yau manifolds (Cynk and Endrass in Mainz), intersection homology (Weber and Brasselet in Marseille), contact structures (Wisniewski and Kebekus, Peternell in Bayreuth), extremal rays and contractions of varieties (Wisniewski and Andreatta in Trento).

The cross-border cooperation of Polish geometers has been stimulated by Autumn Algebraic Geometry Schools, organised by Szurek since 1977. These annual meetings aimed at graduate students and young researchers focus on active research subjects taught by experts. More information you will find at the Homepage of September Algebraic Geometry Schools.
