Harvard–MIT Algebraic Geometry: Newton-Okounkov bodies and local positivity

SEMINARS, HARVARD-MIT ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY

Speaker:

Alex Küronya - Goethe-Universität Frankfurt

The purpose of this talk is to discuss Newton-Okounkov bodies,  a convex geometric construction associated to divisors on projective  varieties. We will touch on their relationship with local positivity,  multiplicative filtrations on section rings, and applications.
