Herbert Clemens
Charles Herbert Clemens Jr. (born 15 August 1939 in Dayton, Ohio) is an American mathematician, specializing in complex algebraic geometry. Biography Clemens received in 1961 his bachelor's degree from College of the Holy Cross and in 1966 his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley under Phillip Griffiths with thesis ''Picard–Lefschetz Theorem for Families of Algebraic Varieties Acquiring Certain Singularities''. In 1970 he became an assistant professor at Columbia University and went on to become an associate professor before leaving in 1975 to become an associate professor at the University of Utah where he became a full professor in 1976 and a Distinguished Professor in 2001. In 2002 he left Utah to become a professor of mathematics and mathematics education at the Ohio State University. Clemens was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study from September 1968 to March 1970 and from September 2001 to June 2003. He was an invited speaker at the Intern ...

Dayton, Ohio
Dayton () is the sixth-largest city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Montgomery County. A small part of the city extends into Greene County. The 2020 U.S. census estimate put the city population at 137,644, while Greater Dayton was estimated to be at 814,049 residents. The Combined Statistical Area (CSA) was 1,086,512. This makes Dayton the fourth-largest metropolitan area in Ohio and 73rd in the United States. Dayton is within Ohio's Miami Valley region, north of the Greater Cincinnati area. Ohio's borders are within of roughly 60 percent of the country's population and manufacturing infrastructure, making the Dayton area a logistical centroid for manufacturers, suppliers, and shippers. Dayton also hosts significant research and development in fields like industrial, aeronautical, and astronautical engineering that have led to many technological innovations. Much of this innovation is due in part to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its place in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rational Variety
In mathematics, a rational variety is an algebraic variety, over a given field ''K'', which is birationally equivalent to a projective space of some dimension over ''K''. This means that its function field is isomorphic to :K(U_1, \dots , U_d), the field of all rational functions for some set \ of indeterminates, where ''d'' is the dimension of the variety. Rationality and parameterization Let ''V'' be an affine algebraic variety of dimension ''d'' defined by a prime ideal ''I'' = ⟨''f''1, ..., ''f''''k''⟩ in K _1, \dots , X_n/math>. If ''V'' is rational, then there are ''n'' + 1 polynomials ''g''0, ..., ''g''''n'' in K(U_1, \dots , U_d) such that f_i(g_1/g_0, \ldots, g_n/g_0)=0. In order words, we have a x_i=\frac(u_1,\ldots,u_d) of the variety. Conversely, such a rational parameterization induces a field homomorphism of the field of functions of ''V'' into K(U_1, \dots , U_d). But this homomorphism is not necessarily onto. If such a parameterization ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shigefumi Mori
is a Japanese mathematician, known for his work in algebraic geometry, particularly in relation to the classification of three-folds. Career Mori completed his Ph.D. titled "The Endomorphism Rings of Some Abelian Varieties" under Masayoshi Nagata at Kyoto University in 1978. He was visiting professor at Harvard University during 1977–1980, the Institute for Advanced Study in 1981–82, Columbia University 1985–87 and the University of Utah for periods during 1987–89 and again during 1991–92. He has been a professor at Kyoto University since 1990. Work He generalized the classical approach to the classification of algebraic surfaces to the classification of algebraic three-folds. The classical approach used the concept of minimal model (birational geometry), minimal models of algebraic surfaces. He found that the concept of minimal model (birational geometry), minimal models can be applied to three-folds as well if we allow some Singularity (mathematics), singularities on ...

János Kollár
János Kollár (born 7 June 1956) is a Hungarian mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.
