Abstract:The K(pi,1)-conjecture for reflection arrangement complements, due to Arnold, Brieskorn, Pham, and Thom, predicts that certain complexified hyperplane complements associated to infinite reflection groups are Eilenberg MacLane spaces. We establish a close connection between a very simple property in metric graph theory about 4-cycles and the K(pi,1)-conjecture, via elements of non-posi...
AbstractIn this talk, l will discuss some recent results about classifying automorphism groups of smoothhypersurfaces in the projective space. This talk is based on ioint works with Keii Oauiso. Li WeiSong Yang, and Zigang Zhu
