The Fino—Vezzoni conjecture on homogeneous spaces
Speaker: Joseph Kwong
Affiliation: University of Queensland
Abstract
A complex manifold is a space that locally looks like C^n, but globally may look completely different. One way of distinguishing between complex manifolds is by studying special metrics they admit: the most infamous are Kahler, balanced, and pluriclosed metrics. The Fino--Vezzoni conjecture asserts that a compact complex manifold admitting both balanced and pluriclosed metrics must also admit a Kahler metric. In this talk, I will give the usual propaganda about complex manifolds and explain the proof of the conjecture in the homogeneous case.
About Pure mathematics seminars
We present regular seminars on a range of pure mathematics interests. Students, staff and visitors to UQ are welcome to attend, and to suggest speakers and topics.
Seminars are usually held on Tuesdays from 2 to 3pm.
Talks comprise 45 minutes of speaking time plus five minutes for questions and discussion.
Information for speakers
Researchers in all pure mathematics fields attend our seminars, so please aim your presentation at a general mathematical audience.
