Complex Geometry Seminar

    Speaker Patrick Brosnan University of Maryland I'll explain what I know about two very interesting pieces of work: (1) Markman's proof of the Hodge conjecture for Weil type abelian fourfolds of discriminant 1. (2) Kontsevich's tropical approach to looking for counterexamples to the Hodge conjecture for Weil type abelian varieties. Then I'll explain …
