Birational geometry of defective varieties
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Geometric Invariant Theory and Birational Geometry
In this paper we will survey some recent developments in the last decade or so on variation of Geometric Invariant Theory and its applications to Birational Geometry such as the weighted Weak Factorization Theorems of nonsingular projective varieties and more generally projective varieties with finite quotient singularities. Along the way, we will also mention some progresses on birational geom...
متن کاملBirational Automorphisms of Higher-dimensional Algebraic Varieties
The present survey covers the known results on the groups of birational automorphisms, rationality problem and birational classii-cation for Fano brations. 0. Birational geometry starts with M.NN other's paper 45] on Cremona transformations. The problems of birational geometry of algebraic varieties, that is, birational classiication, the rationality and unirationality problems, structure of th...
متن کاملHyperKähler Manifolds and Birational Transformations
The minimal model program has greatly enhanced our knowledge on birational geometry of varieties of dimension 3 and higher. About the same time, the last two decades have also witnessed increasing interests in HyperKähler manifolds, a particular class of Calabi-Yau manifolds. One interest in this area, which we hope to treat in the future, is to investigate the behavior of the SYZ mirror conjec...
متن کاملBirationally Rigid Fano Varieties
We give a brief survey of the concept of birational rigidity, from its origins in the two-dimensional birational geometry, to its current state. The main ingredients of the method of maximal singularities are discussed. The principal results of the theory of birational rigidity of higher-dimensional Fano varieties and fibrations are given and certain natural conjectures are formulated.
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.
