SUMMARY:Hypersurfaces that are not stably rational
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Burt Totaro\, University of California, Los Angelos\n\nWe show that a large class of complex hypersurfaces in all dimensions are not stably rational. (A variety is stably rational if its product with some projective space is birational to projective space.) Namely, for all d at least about 2n/3, a very general hypersurface of degree d in P^{n+1} is not …
