Projective contact log varieties |
Abstract |
Contact manifolds are odd-dimensional analogues of symplectic manifolds. The main aim of this talk is to present some structural results on contact structures on smooth complex projective log varieties. I will generalize a few standard results on rational curves on smooth projective varieties to the logarithmic case. Then, I will use these results to study Mori-type log contractions of contact projective log varieties. |
