• Sanghoon Baek, Relationship between the Chow and Grothendieck Rings for Generic Flag Varieties

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Sanghoon Baek KAIST Consider the canonical morphism from the Chow ring of a smooth variety X to the associated graded ring of the coniveau filtration on the Grothendieck ring of X. In general, this morphism is not injective. However, Nikita Karpenko conjectured that these two rings are isomorphic for a generic flag

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Rostislav Devyatov KAIST In the first part of my talk I am going to speak about Schubert calculus. Let G/B be a flag variety, where G is a linear simple algebraic group, and B is a Borel subgroup. Schubert calculus studies (in classical terms) multiplication in the cohomology ring of a flag

  • Jongbaek Song, Regular Hessenberg Varieties and Toric Varieties

    TBA
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Jongbaek Song KIAS A Hessenberg variety is a subvariety of the flag variety (G/B) determined by two parameters: one is an element of the Lie algebra of G and the other is a B-submodule containing the Lie algebra of B, known as a Hessenberg space. In this talk, we focus on elements

    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Sandor Kovacs Univ. of Washington This is a report on joint work with Behrouz Taji. Given a flat projective morphism f : X → B of complex varieties, assuming that B is smooth, we construct a functorial system of reflexive Hodge sheaves on B . If in addition, X is also smooth then

  • Young-Hoon Kiem, A New Construction of the Moduli Space of Pointed Stable Curves of Genus 0

    TBA
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Young-Hoon Kiem Seoul National University The moduli space of n points on a projective line up to projective equivalence has been a topic of research since the 19th century. A natural moduli theoretic compactification was constructed by Deligne and Mumford as an algebraic stack. Later, Knudsen, Keel, Kapranov and others provided explicit

  • Chenyang Xu, K-stability of Fano Varieties

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Chenyang Xu Princeton Univ. K-stability of Fano varieties was initiated as a central topic in complex geometry, for its relation with the Kähler-Einstein metric. It turns out that the machinery of higher dimensional geometry, developed around the minimal model program, provides a fundamental tool to study it, and therefore makes it an

  • Gunhee Cho, The Lower Bound of the Integrated Carathéodory-Reiffen Metric and Invariant Metrics on Complete Noncompact Kähler Manifolds

    on-line
    Several Complex Variables Seminar

         Speaker Gunhee Cho UCSB We seek to gain progress on the following long-standing conjectures in hyperbolic complex geometry: prove that a simply connected complete Kähler manifold with negatively pinched sectional curvature is biholomorphic to a bounded domain and the Carathéodory-Reiffen metric does not vanish everywhere. As the next development of the important recent

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Bo-Hae Im KAIST (This is a part of Arithemetic Geometry Day in IBS-CCG.) We are interested in the existence and non-existence of rational curves on certain Kummer varieties which can be applied to the rank problem of quadratic twists of elliptic curves. In this talk, we prove that if the j-invariants of

    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker WonTae Hwang Jeonbuk National Univ. (This is a part of Arithemetic Geometry Day in IBS-CCG.) We compute the Jordan constants of simple abelian surfaces over fields of positive characteristic, with the aid of a similar computation on the Jordan constants of some arithmetic objects. As an update, we also briefly record a

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Junho Peter Whang Seoul National Univ. (This is a part of Arithemetic Geometry Day in IBS-CCG.) Character varieties of manifolds are basic objects in geometry and low-dimensional topology. We motivate the Diophantine study of their integral points. After discussing an effective finite generation theorem for integral points on SL2-character varieties of surfaces,

    on-line
    Several Complex Variables Seminar

         Speaker Kang-Hyurk Lee GNU The Wong-Rosay theorem says that a smoothly bounded domain covering a compact complex manifold is biholomorphically equivalent to the unit ball. The general methodology of this theorem is the affine rescaling method. In this talk, I will introduce the potential rescaling method, an alternative of the affine rescaling. This
