ROB-AG Conference

Date

October 28-30, 2026

Location

Stony Brook University and the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics

Welcome to ROB-AG, a conference on recent outcomes in birational and complex algebraic geometry.

This conference is motivated by the extraordinary progress made in the past few decades in our understanding of Hodge theory, singularities, syzygies, and rationality/irrationality, areas of algebraic geometry that have been influenced by the work of Rob Lazarsfeld.
