• Duc-Viet Vu, Moser-Trudinger Inequalities and Complex Monge-Ampere Equations

    Several Complex Variables Seminar

         Speaker Duc-Viet Vu Cologne I present a version of the Moser-Trudinger inequality in the setting of complex geometry. As a very particular case, the result already gives a new Moser-Trudinger inequality for functions in the Sobolev space W1,2 of a domain in R2. As an application, we deduce a new necessary condition for

  • Guolei Zhong, Strictly Nef Divisors on Singular Varieties

    TBA
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Guolei Zhong IBS CCG A Q-Cartier divisor on a normal projective variety is said to be strictly nef, if it has positive intersection with every integral curve. It has been a long history for people to measure how far a strictly nef divisor is from being ample. In this talk, I will

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Atsushi Ito Okayama Univ. Projective normality is an important property of ample line bundles on algebraic varieties. In this talk, I will explain that a general g-dimensional polarized abelian variety is projectively normal if χ(X, L) > 22g-1. We note that this bound is sharp. A key tool is basepoint-freeness threshold, which

  • Yonghwa Cho, Nodal Sextics and Even Sets of Nodes

    B234
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Yonghwa Cho IBS CCG It is a classical question to ask how many nodes may a surface contain. For sextics, the maximum number of nodes is 65, and is attained by Barth's example. We ask further: are all sextics with 65 nodes like Barth's example? To find an answer, we study even

  • Hoseob Seo, On L2 Extension from Singular Hypersurfaces

    B234
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Hoseob Seo IBS CCG In L2 extension theorems from an irreducible singular hypersurface in a complex manifold, important roles are played by certain measures such as the Ohsawa measure, which determines when a given function can be extended. In this talk, we show that the singularity of the Ohsawa measure can be

    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Dongsoo Shin Chungnam National Univ. A sandwiched surface singularity is a rational surface singularity that admits a birational map to the complex projective plane. de Jong and van Straten prove that deformations of sandwiched surface singularities are induced from special deformations of germs of plane curve singularities (called picture deformations). On the

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Nam-Hoon Lee Hongik Univ. We present a new construction of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds by smoothing normal crossing varieties, consisting of two quasi-Fano manifolds. We introduce a notion of mirror pairs of quasi-Fano manifolds with anticanonical Calabi-Yau fibrations using conjectures about Landau-Ginzburg models. Utilizing this notion, we give pairs of normal

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Radu Laza Stony Brook University It is well known that Calabi-Yau manifolds have good deformation theory, which is controlled by Hodge theory. By work of Friedman, Namikawa, M. Gross, Kawamata, Steenbrink and others, some of these results have been extended to Calabi-Yau threefolds with canonical singularities. In this talk, I will report

         Speaker Keiji Oguiso Univ. of Tokyo This is a joint work in progress with Professors Jungkai-Alfred Chen and Hsueh-Yung Lin. We study the main open parts of Kawaguchi-Silverman Conjecture (KSC), asserting that for a birational self-map f of a smooth projective variety X defined over K, the arithmetic degree αf(x) exists and coincides

    Several Complex Variables Seminar

         Speaker Slawomir Dinew Jagiellonian University, Krakow Extension problems through a small singular set appear throughout complex analysis. After a short reminder of some classical results we shall focus on problems of extending (pluri)subharmonic functions. In particular we shall focus on new techniques coming from PDEs that lead to resolutions of several questions in

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Several Complex Variables Seminar

         Speaker Tsz On Mario Chan Pusan National University In this talk, we introduce a modification of the analytic adjoint ideal sheaves. The original analytic adjoint ideal sheaves were studied by Guenancia and Dano Kim. The modified version makes use of the residue functions with respect to log-canonical (lc) measures, giving a sequence of
