The Geometry of Quot Schemes of Zero-Dimensional Quotients on a Curve

Explore the geometry of Quot schemes of zero-dimensional quotients on a curve in this panoramic talk by Alina Marian from ICTP, Italy. Delivered as part of the V Latin American School of Algebraic Geometry (V ELGA), this lecture is one of several presentations by renowned mathematicians in the field of Algebraic Geometry. Gain insights into this active area of research, which is part of a comprehensive program aimed at training young mathematicians and fostering collaboration among researchers in Latin America. Delve into topics covered in the two-week CIMPA School, including Higgs bundles, Fano varieties, B-divisors, and birational transformations. Discover the broader context of the school's curriculum, featuring mini-courses and panoramic talks on various aspects of Algebraic Geometry, from tropical varieties to Cox rings and Calabi-Yau foliations.
