AbstractI will explain mirror symmetry for Fano varieties, and an approach to the classification of Fano varieties based on mirror symmetry.SpeakerProfessor Alessio Corti holds a Chair in Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London. His main areas of interest lie in algebraic geometry, particularly higher dimesional birational geometry, minimal model theory, Fano varieties.Professor Alessio Cor...
Abstract:We prove two main theorems about equivariant minimal surfaces in an arbitrary nonpositively curved symmetric spaces extending classical results on minimal surfaces in Euclidean space. First, we show that a complete equivariant branched immersed minimal surface in a nonpositively curved symmetric space of finite total curvature must be of finite Morse index. It is a generalization of t...
