Differential Geometry Seminar | Special metrics in hypercomplex Geometry

Time:Tuesday 9:00-10:00 pm April 23, 2024

Venue:Zoom Meeting ID: 271 534 5558 Passcode: YMSC

Organizer:Jialong Deng, Akito Futaki

Speaker:Giovanni Gentili (Università di Torino)

Abstract:

The existence and search of special metrics plays a remarkably important role in Differential Geometry. After a brief overview of basic definitions and facts in hypercomplex Geometry, we will discuss certain notions of special metrics in the hypercomplex setting, focusing on the consequences of their existence. We will also introduce an Einstein condition for hyperhermitian metrics and describe the similarities with the Kähler-Einstein case. The talk is based on a joint work with Elia Fusi.

      Einstein metrics on spheres of even dimension | BIMSA-BIT Differential Geometry Seminar

      AbstractThe first non-round Einstein metrics on spheres were described in 1973 by Jensen in dimensions 4n+3 (n >0). For the next 25 years it remained an open problem whether the same could be done in even dimensions. This question was settled in 1998 when C. Böhm constructed infinite families of Einstein metrics on all Spheres of dimension between 5 and 9, in particular on $S^6$ and $S^8$. Over...

      Differential Geometry Seminar | Singular cscK metrics on smoothable varieties

      AbstractWe extend the notion of cscK metrics to singular varieties. We establish the existence of these canonical metrics on Q-Gorenstein smoothable klt varieties when the Mabuchi functional is coercive, these arise as a limit of cscK metrics on close-by fibres. The proof relies on developing a novel strong topology of pluripotential theory in families and establishing uniform estimates for csc...
