AbstractThe study of moduli spaces of hyperKahler manifolds and low dimensional cubic hypersurfaces is an active direction in algebraic geometry. Thanks to kinds of Torelli theorem, many moduli spaces can be realized as locally symmetric varieties of unitary type or orthogonal type. Hodge theory, birational geometry and arithmetic geometry converge in this topic. In this talk I will give a gene...
Abstract:Besides the space of positive scalar curvature metrics, various moduli spaces have gained a lot of attention. Among those, the observer moduli space arguably has the best behaviour from a homotopy-theoretical perspective because the subgroup of observer diffeomorphisms acts freely on the space of Riemannian metrics if the underlying manifold is connected.In this talk, I will present ho...
