Hodge Theory and Classical Algebraic Geometry
The Ohio State
University, May 13-15, 2013
The
topic of the conference is Hodge theory, classical
algebraic geometry, and the interactions between
them. Hodge theory is a powerful tool for the study
and classification of algebraic varieties, the Hodge
conjecture being one of the main focus points of
research in the area. The influence of Hodge
theory on classical algebraic geometry has been
greatest in the study of abelian varieties, in
moduli problems, and in the area of algebraic
cycles. Hodge theory now also plays an important
role in string theory, especially in mirror
symmetry.The aim of the conference is to bring together experts on various aspects of Hodge theory and algebraic geometry, to present a comprehensive picture of recent developments, and to outline a vision for the future of the field.
