Brill-Noether theory: geometric, tropical and singularity theory aspects

This workshop is aimed at discussing recent exciting developments in Brill-Noether theory. These will include the tropical and geometric approaches to the Maximal Rank Conjectures (in its various forms) and derived category aspects, as well as connections with surface singularity theory.

The workshop will be followed by the MATH+ Friday Colloquium by Sam Payne, on the 8th of November at Urania Berlin.

This event is part of the thematic semester Algebraic Geometry, which is devoted to algebraic geometry and to its application and is organised by Peter Bürgisser (TU Berlin), Gavril Farkas (HU Berlin) and Christian Haase (FU Berlin).
