The 1992/93 academic year at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute was devoted to Complex Algebraic Geometry. The cochairs of the organizing committee were Herb Clemens and myself. Early on we decided that the activities would be centered around themes, each month having its own theme. In organizing each theme, we relied on the help of experts in that area. The success of the year depended very much on their energy and enthusiasm. The following is the list of topics and of the organizers:
September: Algebraic cycles (A. Beilinson, W. Fulton)
October: Vector bundles (R. Lazarsfeld)
November: Higher-dimensional geometry (J. Kollar, S. Mori)
December: Curves, abelian varieties and their moduli (A. Beauville, J. Harris)
January: Surface theory, classical projective geometry (R. Friedman, J. Harris)
February: Topology of moduli spaces (E. Arbarello)
March: Enumerative and computational algebraic geometry (W. Fulton)
April: Crystalline methods and Hodge theory (A. Beilinson, A. Ogus)
May: Singularity theory and Hodge theory (M. Green, J. Steenbrink)
There were also four short workshops, which attracted many participants and helped considerably in communicating the new directions in algebraic geometry to a large audience. The following is the list of workshops held at MSRI:
Algebraic cycles (A. Beilinson, W. Fulton)
Higher dimensional geometry (J. Kollar, S. Mori)
Curves, abelian varieties and their moduli (A. Beauville, J. Harris)
Enumerative geometry and physics (W. Fulton)
In conjunction with the Complex Algebraic Geometry Year at MSRI there were three additional workshops organized at nearby Universities:
Vector bundles, UC Los Angeles (R. Lazarsfeld)
Crystalline methods and Hodge theory, UC Berkeley (A. Ogus)
Hodge theory and singularities, UC Riverside (M. Green, Z. Ran, J. Steenbrink)
