Programs:
1) Secant varieties and
defective varieties. Tangential varieties. Classification of
varieties with extremal tangential properties. Degenerations of
varieties and of maps. Toric degenerations and applications to the
study of secant varieties and interpolation problems. Toric
degenerations and tropical varieties.
Lecture notes: Francesco Russo, Geometry of special varieties.

2) The course covers basic as
well as more advanced aspects of the theory of Fourier--Mukai
transforms for algebraic varieties and, more generally, of derived
categories. In particular, we will cover the classification of
algebraic varieties up to derived equivalence in the known cases
(abelian varieties, K3 surfaces, Calabi--Yau varieties, Fano
varieties, varieties of general type, etc). The course will present
the central techniques (Hochschild cohomology, necessary and
sufficient conditions for equivalences) and open questions. If time
permits, we shall talk about t-structures, stability conditions (a la
Bridgeland), the group of autoequivalences and might touch upon
aspects related to mirror symmetry.

4) The focus of the course will
be the problem of classifying irreducible components of the
spaces of algebraic foliations of codimension one on complex
projective spaces of dimension n>2. This problem was completely
solved for foliations of degree zero, one and two, and it
remains open for higher degrees. On the other hand, some irreducible
components are known in general: components of pull-back type
(linear and non-linear), some components consisting of
foliations with rational first integral, components defined by
logarithmic differential forms, and the so-called Exceptional
components, parametrizing foliations containing n-1 foliations
of dimension one. Along the course we will expose the known results
and the techniques involved in their proof.
