Programme:
The lectures will focus on two related classes of varieties: symplectic manifolds (K.O.) and Fano manifolds (J.W.).
Holomorphic symplectic manifolds form one of the three important building blocks of compact Kaehler manifolds with vanishing first Chern class. In the lectures, K. Oguiso will explain recent impressive progress on fiber space structures on a holomorphic symplectic manifold, which are mostly done by D. Matsushita and J.M. Hwang.
It is well known from Mori theory that in general varieties can be divided into some classes among which fibrations whose general fiber is Fano play a major role. The second part of the lectures will concern Fano manifolds and their study via rational curves.

Organizers: Adrian Langer and Jaroslaw Wisniewski.
The school will take place in a Warsaw University pension in Lukecin (look here for more information), on Western part of Polish Baltic sea shore (see a map). The accommodation (full board, double room) will cost about 80 zloty (PLN) a day (1 Euro is approx. 3.5 PLN). The conference fee of 50 zloty will apply. Graduate students and postdocs with inadequate support from home institution may apply for accomodation cost waiver.
The school will be financially supported by Institute of Mathematics of Warsaw University and by Polish State Committee for Scientific Research.
All inquiries should be directed to Adrian Langer: alan at mimuw.edu.pl . Registration deadline: July 1st, 2008.
