Metric asymptotics on the irregular Hitchin moduli space

Time:Monday, 10:00-11:30am May 8, 2023

Venue:Jingzhai 304

Speaker:陈杲 中国科学技术大学特任教授

Abstract

In 1987, Hitchin constructed a complete hyperkähler metric on the moduli space of Higgs bundles, which can be generalized to accommodate singularities. In this talk, we consider Higgs bundles with irregular singularities over the Riemann sphere. We construct a generic ray in the moduli space and study the asymptotic behavior of the Hitchin metric along this ray. Using the techniques developed by Biquard-Boalch and Fredrickson-Mazzeo-Swoboda-Weiss, we show that the Hitchin metric is exponentially close to a simpler semi-flat metric. In dimension four, we obtain an explicit asymptotic formula for the semi-flat metric, which is of type ALG or ALG*.

      Homeomorphisms of Euclidean space

      Abstract:The topological group of homeomorphisms of d-dimensional Euclidean space is a basic object in geometric topology, closely related to understanding the difference between diffeomorphisms and homeomorphisms of all d-dimensional manifolds (except when d=4). I will explain some methods that have been used for studying the algebraic topology of this group, and report on a recently obtained...

      Moduli space of vector bundles and Frobenius splitting

      AbstractAfter a brief introduction of Frobenius splitting in positive charactersitic, we report some progresses about moduli space of vector bundles on a curve in this direction. This is based on a program with Professor Xiaotao Sun.About the speaker周明铄,天津大学应用数学中心副研究员。研究方向为代数几何。Personal Website:http://cam.tju.edu.cn/faculty/teacherDetail.php?id=68
