Abstract

Flips and flops are elementary birational maps which first appear in dimension three. We give examples of how flips and flops appear in many different contexts. We describe the minimal model program and some recent progress centred around the question of termination of flips.<br />National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant 0701101)<br />Clay Mathematics Institute
