| Title: | Derived categories, Wall-crossing and birational geometry |
Birational geometry studies maps between algebraic varieties defined by rational functions. Recently, derived categories, stability conditions and wall-crossing have led to an entirely new approach to fundamental open questions in birational geometry. I will survey these developments, with an emphasis on Hyperkaehler varieties and cubic fourfolds.
