    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Qifeng Li IBS, Center for Complex Geometry For a complex connected semisimple linear algebraic group G of adjoint type and of rank n, De Concini and Procesi constructed its wonderful compactification X, which is a smooth Fano variety of Picard number n enjoying many interesting properties. In this talk, we will show

        Speaker 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

  • Qifeng Li, Minimal rational curves on equivariant compactifications of symmetric spaces

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

        Speaker Qifeng Li Shandong University Let X be a smooth equivariant compactification of a symmetric space. In this talk, we will discuss when a minimal rational curve on X is the orbit closure of a 1-parameter group. In case the symmetric space is of group type, the answer is positive and moreover the
