Title: Distribution of rational points on algebraic varieties

Abstract: Manin's conjecture predicts the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions of rational points on algebraic varieties, and I will explain some results in this direction as well as our recent attempt to obtain a refinement of Manin's conjecture using the minimal model program. This is joint work with Brian Lehmann and Yuri Tschinkel.
