Mini-Workshop: Positivity in Higher-dimensional Geometry: Higher-codimensional Cycles and Newton-Okounkov Bodies

Abstract

There are several flavors of positivity in Algebraic Geometry. They range from conditions that determine vanishing of cohomology, to intersection theoretic properties, and to convex geometry. They offer excellent invariants that have been shown to govern the classification and the parameterization programs in Algebraic Geometry, and are finer than the classical topological ones. This mini-workshop aims to facilitate research collaboration in the area, strengthening the relationship between various positivity notions, beyond the now classical case of divisors/line bundles.
