An introduction to elliptic fibrations - part I: Singular Fibres
Davide Cesare Veniani
Leibniz University of Hannover, Almanya
The theory of elliptic fibrations is an important tool in the study of algebraic and complex surfaces. The talk will focus on Kodaira's classification of possible singular fibres. I will construct some examples of rational and K3 elliptic surfaces to illustrate the theory, coming from pencils of plane cubics and lines on quartic surfaces.
The talk will be aimed at students who took a first course in algebraic geometry.
NOT:
Tea and cookies will be served before the talk.
