Conference: Higher dimensional minimal model program (HD MMP)
Wed 12th--Thu 20th Dec 2007
Organised by Corti, McKernan and Reid

The subject dates back to work of Mori, Kawamata, Reid, Shokurov and
others in the late 1970s, but has seen tremendous progress since the
1990s; it formed a major component of our Newton Institute program in
2002, and is the subject of the forthcoming book of Corti and others.
This work culminates in the recent announcement in results of [Birkar,
Cascini, Hacon, McKernan] of the completion of important components of
the (log) minimal model program in all dimensions. We intend to devote
the first component of WAG07-08 to the developments and dissemination of
these results, which by then should have matured. The solution to this
long-standing series of conjectures opens up new research directions
within Mori theory, as well as having many potential implications for
existing problems of higher dimensional algebraic geometry, singularity
theory and Diophantine geometry. This is a rich field of fruit ripe for
the picking.
