Title: Semistable Models of del Pezzo Fibrations, Birational Rigidity, and Universal K-Condition

Abstract:
Del Pezzo fibrations are one of the types of the Mori Fiber Space output of the MMP. There may be many models for the del Pezzo fibration and we would like to work with the best one. For example it is known that for conic bundles there exists a model with a smooth total space. I will describe a construction of parameter space of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and 2. Using this parameter space I define what are the best models of del Pezzo fibrations of degrees 1 and 2. Then I show the existence of a good birational model.

Title: Parameter spaces of del Pezzo surfaces and birational geometry of del Pezzo fibrations

Abstract:
Del Pezzo fibrations are one of the types of the Mori Fiber Space output of the MMP. There may be many models for the del Pezzo fibration and we would like to work with the best one. For example it is known that for conic bundles there exists a model with a smooth total space. I will describe a construction of parameter space of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and 2 together with a notion of stability. Then I define what are the best models of del Pezzo fibrations of degrees 1 and 2 and show the existence of a good birational model.

Title: Birational rigidity of low degree del Pezzo fibrations

Abstract:
A Mori fiber space is called birationally rigid if, roughly speaking, it has only one Mori fiber space structure. I will talk about birational rigidity of singular del Pezzo fibrations. I will explain the essence of the method of proving birational rigidity: Noether-Fano method, also known as method of maximal singularities. I will discuss the differences in applying this to Fano varieties and Mori fiber spaces with a positive dimensional base.
