Abstract:

This talk will survey some recent results regarding hyperbolicity of varieties of log general type. There are several classical results showing that positivity of the cotangent bundle implies various notions of hyperbolicity for projective varieties coming from algebraic, arithmetic, and differential geometry. The goal of this talk is to review these results and discuss recent work which generalizes these results for log pairs / quasi-projective varieties. This is joint work with K. DeVleming and A. Turchet.
