• Rostislav Devyatov, Multiplicity-free Products of Schubert Divisors and an Application to Canonical Dimension

    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

         Speaker Jeong-Seop Kim KAIST As well as the Hartshorne-Frankel conjecture on the ampleness of tangent bundle, it has been asked to characterize a smooth projective variety X whose tangent bundle TX attains certain positivity, e.g., nefness, k-ampleness, or bigness. But for the ampleness, the complete answers are not known even within the class
