Qifeng Li, Rigidity of Projective Symmetric Manifolds of Picard Number 1 Associated to Composition Algebras
B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic ofSpeaker Qifeng Li Shandong University To each complex composition algebra A, there associates a projective symmetric manifold X(A) of Picard number 1. The vareity X(A) is closed related with Freudenthal's Magic Square, which is a square starting from the adjiont varieties of F4, E6, E7 and E8. In a recent joint work with …
