Author Description
This edited collection of chapters, authored by leading experts, provides a complete and essentially self-contained construction of 3-fold and 4-fold klt flips. A large part of the text is a digest of Shokurov's work in the field and a concise, complete and pedagogical proof of the existence of 3-fold flips is presented. The text includes a ten page glossary and is accessible to students and researchers in algebraic geometry.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the construction and existence of klt flips for 3-folds and 4-folds within the framework of algebraic geometry. Edited by Alessio Corti, the text compiles contributions from prominent researchers to synthesize complex birational geometry concepts. It serves as a formal pedagogical resource, grounding its arguments in the foundational work of V.V. Shokurov while providing rigorous proofs for the existence of 3-fold flips.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Detailed construction of 3-fold and 4-fold klt flips
