Title	The automorphic groups of general type varieties
Abstract	(Joint with C. Hacon and J. McKernan) In this talk, I will sketch a work-in-progress, which is aimed to show that the order of the automorphic group of a general type varietie, which is well-known to be finite, is linearly bounded by the volume of K_X. This is a generalization of the classical Hurwitz’s theorem in the 1 dimensional case, and G. Xiao’s theorem in the 2 dimensional case.
