• Sheng Meng, Equivariant Kähler Model for Fujiki’s Class

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Sheng Meng KIAS Let X be a compact complex manifold in Fujiki's class C, i.e., admitting a big (1,1)-class . Consider Aut(X) the group of biholomorphic automorphisms and Aut(X) the subgroup of automorphisms preserving the class via pullback. We show that X admits an Aut(X)-equivariant Kähler model: there is a bimeromorphic holomorphic

  • Sung Rak Choi, On the Thresholds of Potential Pairs

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Sung Rak Choi Yonsei Univ. Choi-Park first introduced and develped the notion of potential pairs. The notion was designed to control the singularities of the outcome of the 'anticanonical' minimal model program. In this talk, after reviewing the properties of potnetial klt pairs, we examine the ACC property of the potential lc

  • Christian Schnell, A New Approach to Degenerating Variations of Hodge Structure

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Christian Schnell Stony Brook Univ. The theory of variations of Hodge structure has many applications in algebraic geometry. Most of these are based on the results by Schmid, Cattani, Kaplan, Kashiwara, and Kawai from the 1970s and 1980s. I will describe a new approach that proves these results — such as the

  • Ming Xiao, On Some Mapping Problems between Bounded Symmetric Domains

    on-line
    Several Complex Variables Seminar

         Speaker Ming Xiao UCSD Bounded symmetric domains are an important class of geometric objects in complex analysis and geometry, which possess a high degree of symmetry. They often serve as the model cases in the study of many rigidity phenomena. In this talk, we will discuss two mapping problems between bounded symmetric domains

  • Luca Rizzi, Local Systems, Algebraic Foliations and Fibrations

    TBA
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Luca Rizzi IBS-CCG Given a semistable fibration f : X → B I will show a correspondence between foliations on X and local systems on B. Building up on this correspondence we will find conditions that give maximal rationally connected fibrations in terms of data on the foliation. We will develop the

  • Guolei Zhong, Dynamical Characterization of Projective Toric Varieties

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Guolei Zhong IBS-CCG As a fundamental building block of the equivariant minimal model program, the rationally connected variety plays a significant role in the classification of projective varieties admitting non-isomorphic endomorphisms. Twenty years ago, Nakayama confirmed Sato’s conjecture that, a smooth projective rational surface is toric if and only if it admits

  • Ziquan Zhuang, Boundedness of Singularities and Minimal Log Discrepancies of Kollár Components

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Ziquan Zhuang Johns Hopkins U Several years ago, Chi Li introduced the local volume of a klt singularity in his work on K-stability. The local-global analogy between klt singularities and Fano varieties, together with recent study in K-stability lead to the conjecture that klt singularities whose local volumes are bounded away from

  • Benjamin McMillan, The Range of the Killing Operator

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

         Speaker Benjamin McMillan IBS-CCG The Killing operator in (semi) Riemannian geometry has well understood kernel: the infinitesimal symmetries of a given metric. At the next level, the range of the Killing operator can be interpreted as those perturbations of the metric that result from a mere change of coordinates---in contexts like general relativity,

  • Jakub Witaszek, Quasi-F-splittings

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Jakub Witaszek Princeton U What allowed for many developments in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra was a discovery of the notion of a Frobenius splitting, which, briefly speaking, detects how pathological positive characteristic Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties can be. Recently, Yobuko introduced a more general concept, a quasi-F-splitting, which captures much more
