Abstract

Many theorems of mathematial relativity, including singularity and positive mass theorems, include the classical energy conditions among their hypotheses. However, matter described by quantum field theory can violate the classical energy conditions and indeed there is no lower bound to the energy density at a given point as the quantum state is varied. Do the classical theorems apply to quantised matter?

AbstractAfter a review about Xiao's approach of Slope inequalities and its generalization to positive characteristic, a Miyaoka-Yau type inequality for a minimal smooth surface of general type is given as an application. This is based on some work with Professor Yi Gu, Hao Sun and Xiaotao Sun.SpeakerResearch Interestsmoduli of vector bundle
