Birational geometry of quadrics
A central method in the theory of quadratic forms is the study of function fields of projective quadrics. In particular, it is important to ask when there is a rational map from one quadric over a field to another. This suggests the problem of determining when two quadrics are birational, which turns out to be much harder. The answer is known for quadratic forms of dimension at most 7 (thus for...
متن کاملSecant Varieties and Birational Geometry
We show how to use information about the equations defining secant varieties to smooth projective varieties in order to construct a natural collection of birational transformations. These were first constructed as flips in the case of curves by M. Thaddeus via Geometric Invariant Theory, and the first flip in the sequence was constructed by the author for varieties of arbitrary dimension in an ...
متن کاملBirational geometry of defective varieties
Here we investigate the birational geometry of projective varieties of arbitrary dimension having defective higher secant varieties. We apply the classical tool of tangential projections and we determine natural conditions for uniruledness, rational connectivity, and rationality. AMS Subject Classification: 14N05.
متن کاملIntroduction to Birational Anabelian Geometry
We survey recent developments in the Birational Anabelian Geometry program aimed at the reconstruction of function fields of algebraic varieties over algebraically closed fields from pieces of their absolute Galois groups.
متن کاملBirational Geometry for Number Theorists
When thinking about the course “birational geometry for number theorists” I so näıvely agreed to give at the Göttingen summer school, I could not avoid imagining the spirit of the late Serge Lang, not so quietly beseeching one to do things right, keeping the theorems functorial with respect to ideas, and definitions natural. But most important is the fundamental tenet of Diophantine geometry, f...
