 Syllabus:

Name of the Speaker : Detailed Syllabus
D.S. Nagaraj Curve and surface theory. Helectured on Riemann-Roch theorem for curves and surfaces, blow ups of nonsingular surfaces at points, adjunction formula, intersection theory on surfaces, Hodge index theorem. The main reference used was relevant portions of R. Hartshorne's Algebraic geometry.
Krishna Hanumanthu Basics of Seshadri constants. After giving basic definitions, examples, he covered the motivation for defining them by discussing Fujita conjecture and jet separation. Then the connections to linear systems of plane curves and the Nagata and SHGH conjectures was discussed. The questions of irrationality of Seshadri constants was also discussed. The main references were the chapter on Seshadri constants in R. Lazarsfeld's Positivity in Algebraic Geometry I and some expository lecture notes.
Omprokash Das Positive characteristic analogues of Seshadri constants called the Frobenius Seshadri constants. Using a Frobenius analogue of jet separation, M. Musta\c{t}\u{a} and K. Schwede defined Frobenius Seshadri constants and proved many interesting properties and connections to the usual Seshadri constants. These lectures covered most of their results and the mainreference was their original paper: A Frobenius variant of Seshadri constants, Mathematische Annalen 2014.
Ritwik Mukherjee Gave an introduction to Enumerative Geometry of singular curves. He explained the idea of viewing Enumerative Numbers as zero sets of sections of Vector Bundles and interpreting these numbers as intersection of Cycles. The two crucial things in this subject is to show transversality and compute degenerate contributions to the intersection number. The main references were the papers by Ritwik Mukherjee and Somnath Basu on enumeration of singular curves.
Anantadulal Paul Continued with the setup of Ritwik Mukherjee’s lecture and explained how to enumerate curves in a surface that are tangent to a smooth divisor. As before, these numbers can also be viewed as intersection of cycles (or equivalently zeros of a section of an appropriate bundle). The main reference was Anantadulal Paul’s paper on enumerating curves with tangencies.
Nilakantha Das Continued with the setup of Ritwik Mukherjee’s lecture and explained how to enumerate curves in a family of surfaces. He focused on the example of enumerating singular curves in P^3, whose image lies inside a P^2. The main reference was the paper by Nilkantha Das and Ritwik Mukherjee on enumerating singular planar curves in P^3.
Rahul Kumar Singh Moduli space of stable maps. He explained how Kontsevich and Manin obtained a formula for the characteristic number of rational curves in P^2. He then went on to explain how one can generalize this to a family version (in particular, enumerating rational curves in P^3, whose image lies in a P^2). Finally, he spoke about generalizing this result to higher singularity (cusps). The main reference for this talk were the papers by Anantadulal, Ritwik Mukherjee and Rahul Singh on counting rational curves in a moving family of P^2 and the paper by Ritwik Mukherjee and Rahul Singh on counting cuspidal curves in a moving family of P^2.
Praveen Kumar Roy A research talk on some recent results on Seshadri constants for line bundles on hyperelliptic surfaces and surfaces of general type.
