The University of Adelaide has a proud tradition of excellence in both teaching and research across the disciplines of Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics and Statistics.

Maths by Email

Maths by Email is an initiative of CSIRO and the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute. It is a free fortnightly email newsletter featuring maths news and events. To find out more, including how to subscribe, go to the Maths by Email website.

Mathematicians in Schools

Mathematicians in Schools is an Australian Government initiative that is managed by CSIRO Education. Mathematicians in Schools aims to create and support long-term professional partnerships between mathematicians and teachers. Its purpose is to promote a deeper understanding of the importance of mathematics in our society for students and teachers and, through them, the wider community. To find out more and to register on-line, visit the Mathematicians in School website.

Birational geometry of M_g
12:10 Fri 21 Jun 13 :: Ingkarni Wardli B19 :: Dr Jarod Alper :: Australian National University

In 1969, Deligne and Mumford introduced a beautiful compactification of the moduli space of smooth curves which has proved extremely influential in geometry, topology and physics. Using recent advances in higher dimensional geometry and the minimal model program, we study the birational geometry of M_g. In particular, in an effort to understand the canonical model of M_g, we study the log canonical models as well as the associated divisorial contractions and flips by interpreting these models as moduli spaces of particular singular curves.
