Title: On the pseudonorm project towards birational classification of
algebraic varieties

Abstract: 
In 1971, H. L. Royden proved that two compact Riemann surfaces
are isomorphic exactly when there exists a linear isometry between their
spaces of holomorphic quadratic differentials. Inspired by Royden's result,
S.-T. Yau proposed a program aiming at birational classification of complex
algebraic manifolds by studying canonical norm-like functions on spaces of
holomorphic higher differentials. In this talk, we will introduce Yau's 
program as well as some related results.
