The main ingredients of the method of maximal singularities are discussed. The principal results of the theory of birational rigidity of higher-dimensional Fano varieties and fibrations are given and certain natural conjectures are formulated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-10-17T13:59:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14E05", "14E07", "14E08" ], "keywords": [ "birationally rigid fano varieties", "birational rigidity", "two-dimensional birational geometry", "higher-dimensional fano varieties", "brief survey" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....10267P" } } }
