• Jiewon Park, Hessian Estimates, Monotonicity Formulae, and Applications

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

        Speaker Jiewon Park KAIST Various monotonicity formulae have profound applications in many different problems in geometric analysis. Quite often these formulae can be derived from pointwise Hessian estimates, also known as Li-Yau-Hamilton estimates or matrix Harnack inequalities. In this talk we will focus on this connection building upon Hessian estimates for the Green

  • Xiaojun Huang, Bounding a Levi-flat Hypersurface in a Stein Manifold

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

        Speaker Xiaojun Huang Rutgers Univ Let M be a smooth real codimension two compact submanifold in a Stein manifold. We will prove the following theorem: Suppose that M has two elliptic complex tangents and suppose CR points are non-minimal. Assume further that M is contained in a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain. Then M

  • David Sykes, CR Hypersurfaces, Studying 2-nondegenerate Structures via Absolute Parallelisms

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

        Speaker David Sykes IBS CCG The basic problem of finding (local) biholomorphisms mapping one real hypersurface in a complex space onto another is only well understood for a limited class of hypersurfaces, and has a fundamental relationship to their induced CR geometries. Following a light historical survey of major results in the area,

  • Shuang Su, Volumes of Components of Lelong Upper Level Sets

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

        Speaker Shuang Su University of Cologne In this talk, I will talk about the joint work with Duc-Viet Vu. We establish an optimal upper bound for the volumes of components of Lelong upper level sets of closed positive (1,1)-currents, in terms of non-pluripolar products of currents.

  • Mihai Paun, Positivity of quotients of holomorphic tensor fields (Lecture I)

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

        Speaker Mihai Paun U. Bayreuth I will present the main results and techniques in the preprint arxiv:2502.02183 (joint with J. Cao). This was motivated by the recent preprint by W. Ou, cf. arXiv:2501.1808 (especially by the algebraicity criteria for foliations on compact Kähler manifolds in this article). The first lecture is dedicated to

  • Long Li, Plurisubharmonic functions and Sasaki geometry

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

        Speaker Long Li ShanghaiTech University In this talk, we will discuss the recent progress on the zero mass conjecture for plurisubharmoinc functions, raised by Guedj and Rashkovskii. For a local plurisubharmonic function with an isolated singularity at the origin, the conjecture states that the zero Lelong number (at the singularity) implies the zero

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

        Speaker Ilya Kossovskiy SUSTech In this lecture, I will outline convergence and divergence phenomena for mappings of CR submanifolds in complex space. Possible applications for mappings of more general geometric structures will be also concerned.

  • Cauchy-Riemann Symmetry and Real Hypersurfaces in Hermitian Symmetric Spaces

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

        Speaker Jong Taek Cho Chonnam National University We survey recent developments of pseudo-Hermitian geometry or CR geometry of hypersurface type, with a particular focus on their symmetries and realizations as real hypersurfaces in Hermitian symmetric spaces.

  • Torsion points on holomorphic sections of elliptic surfaces

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

        Speaker Sui-Chung Ng ECNU A complex algebraic surface is called an elliptic surface if it is a fiber surface whose general fibers are elliptic curves. An elliptic surface can also be regarded as an elliptic curve $E$ over the function field $K$ of an algebraic curve. The holomorphic sections of that elliptic surface

  • On the rank of Hermitian polynomials and the SOS Conjecture

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

        Speaker Yun Gao Shanghai Jiao Tong U Hilbert's 17-th problem asked whether a non-negative polynomial in several real variables must be a sum of squares of rational functions. There is also a quantitative version of Hilbert's 17th problem which asks how many squares are needed. D'Angelo extend this problem to more general case
