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

        Speaker Kyoung-Seog Lee POSTECH Intersections of two quadrics form an interesting class of algebraic varieties and they have been intensively studied from various aspects. In these talks, I will discuss these various aspects of the intersection of two quadrics and how to interpret/generalize some of the classical algebraic geometry results using the derived

  • 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

  • On Slope Unstable Fano varieties

    B236 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Yen-An Chen KIAS For Fano varieties, significant progress has been made recently in the study of K-stability, while the understanding of the weaker but more algebraic concept of $(−K)$-slope stability remains intricate. For instance, a conjecture attributed to Iskovskikh states that the tangent bundle of a Picard rank one Fano manifold is

  • On the virtual cohomological dimensions of automorphism groups of K3 surfaces

    B236 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Taiki Takatsu Tokyo University of Science We will discuss Mukai’s conjecture that the virtual cohomological dimension of the automorphism group of a K3 surface is equal to the maximum rank of its Mordell-Weil groups. The action of the automorphism group on the second cohomology induces a natural action on a hyperbolic space.

  • Cone structures and conic connections

    B236 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Complex Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Katharina Neusser Masaryk University A cone structure on a manifold $M$ is given by a closed submanifold $\mathcal C\subset \mathbb P TM$ of the projectived tangent bundle of $M$, which is submersive over $M$. Such geometric structures arise naturally in differential and algebraic geometry and they come often equipped with a conic

  • Cylindricity of weighted singular del Pezzo surfaces defined over fields of characteristic zero

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

        Speaker Dae-Won Lee Ewha Womans University The study of cylinders in normal projective varieties is of significant interest due to their intrinsic link to unipotent group actions on affine algebraic varieties. Over a field $\mathbb{k}$ of characteristic zero, it is known that cylindricity in lower-dimensional varieties (appearing as generic fibers) implies the existence

  • Anticanonical minimal model program: examples and applications

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

        Speaker Dae-Won Lee Ewha Womans University This talk provides a brief survey of recent results and applications concerning the anticanonical minimal model program. Furthermore, we present examples of varieties that admit an anticanonical minimal model despite not being Mori dream spaces. This talk is based on joint work with Sung Rak Choi, Sungwook

  • Morse-Bott functions from complex structures

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

        Speaker Hyunmoon Kim Ewha Womans University We present a quadratic Morse-Bott function on the real Grassmannian of a symplectic vector space from a compatible linear complex structure. Its stable manifolds generalize the Lagrangian, symplectic, isotropic, and coisotropic Grassmannians to include the Grassmannians of linear subspaces that are neither isotropic, coisotropic, nor symplectic.
