The birational geometry of foliations is a rapidly developing subfield of birational geometry that has seen significant progress in recent years. For instance, the introduction of the "adjoint foliated structure" has led to major advances in the minimal model program, boundedness, and moduli theory for foliations. Moreover, a breakthrough has recently been made on the algebraicity criterion of foliations on Kähler varieties. Given these developments, we are organizing this summer school to introduce cutting-edge theories to researchers and students in the field.
This summer school is primarily aimed at researchers who are currently working or planning to work in foliation theory or birational geometry. Postdocs, PhD students, and advanced undergraduates are warmly welcomed. The summer school will begin with preliminary topics such as foliations on surfaces, then systematically cover foliations on threefolds, adjunction formulae, algebraicity, algebraically integrable foliations, locally stable families and foliations, and adjoint foliated structures. Lectures will cover the most recent advanced results and discuss potential future research directions.
