Numerical invariants of singularities and higher-dimensional algebraic varieties
July 31 to August 4, 2006
AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA

Organizers:
Nero Budur, Lawrence Ein, Robert Lazarsfeld, Mircea Mustata, 
Aleksandr V. Pukhlikov, and Vyacheslav Shokurov

Workshop topics:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to
certain numerical measures of the singularities of a divisor or
holomorphic function. These invariants -- notably the log-canonical
threshold or complex singularity index -- have appeared in recent 
years in a surprisingly wide variety of mathematical problems.  
The idea of the workshop is to bring together researchers working 
in the various different directions, in the hopes of generating 
some valuable cross-fertilization. 

Application deadline:
April 25, 2006
