• Compact complex parallelisable nilmanifolds with unobstructed deformations

    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Sönke Rollenske Marburg University Compact quotients of non-abelian complex nilpotent Lie groups are non-Kähler manifolds with trivial canonical bundle, the most prominent example being the Iwasawa manifold. We give a precise characterisation of the (rare) cases where deformations of such manifolds are unobstructed in terms of so-called verbal ideals in free nilpotent

  • Constant Gaussian curvature metrics as maximizers of the bottom of the spectrum

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Several Complex Variables Seminar

        Speaker Yewon Luke Cho Gyeongsang National U A characterization of noncompact ball quotients by Munteanu (2009) implies that only complete Kähler-Einstein metrics on certain noncompact ball quotients maximize the bottom of the spectrum among complete Kähler metrics with Ricci curvature bounded below by -1. In this talk, I will report my recent observation,

  • KSBA moduli compactifications and weighted stable hyperplane arrangements

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Xian Wu Yonsei University We begin with an overview of the framework of KSBA (Kollár—Shepherd-Barron—Alexeev) moduli spaces and stable degenerations, emphasizing some phenomena that distinguish the higher-dimensional cases from the Deligne–Mumford moduli of stable curves. We then survey several existing explicit constructions of KSBA compactifications. As a detailed example, we discuss the

  • Cylinders in Fano threefolds

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Complex Geometry Seminar

        Speaker In-Kyun Kim HCMC KIAS A variety $X$ is called cylindrical if it contains a Zariski-open subset isomorphic to $Z \times \mathbb A^1$ for some affine variety $Z$. If such an open subset is the complement of the support of an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $D$ satisfying $D \sim_{\mathbb Q} -K_X$, then it is called
