Heterotic geometry and locally conformally Kahler surfaces | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract:
In 2005, S.-T. Yau proposed the Hull-Strominger system as the natural generalization of the Calabi problem to non-Kahler complex geometry. The Hull-Strominger system is a gauge differential system that occurs as the supersymmetry conditions of Heterotic supergravity and that has become a fundamental tool in the study of the moduli space of Calabi-Yau three-folds. In this talk, I will provide a pedagogical introduction to the geometry of Heterotic supergravity with the end goal of proposing an extension of the Hull-Strominger system that is naturally adapted to the study of locally conformally Kahler complex surfaces.

Polynomial dynamical systems and reaction networks: a geometric approach for proving the global attractor conjecture | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract:
The mathematical analysis of global properties of polynomial dynamical systems can be very challenging (for example: the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem, or the analysis of chaotic dynamics in the Lorenz system).
On the other hand, any dynamical system with polynomial right-hand side can essentially be regarded as a model of a reaction network. Key properties of reaction networks are closely related to fundamental results about global stability in classical thermodynamics. For example, the Global Attractor Conjecture can be regarded as a finite dimensional version of Boltzmann's H-theorem. We will discuss some of these connections, as well as the introduction of toric differential inclusions as a tool for proving the Global Attractor Conjecture.
We will especially focus on the geometric structure of toric differential inclusions, and on the geometric characterization of their invariant regions.
This presentation will be completely self-contained, and will be accessible to students. In particular, no previous knowledge will be assumed about polynomial dynamical systems, differential inclusions, reaction networks, or thermodynamics.

Skeletal Cut Loci on Convex Polyhedra | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract:
The talk is based on the joint work 2312.01534 with J. O'Rourke.
We study skeletal cut loci on convex polyhedra (i.e., cut loci included in the 1-skeleton of the respective polyhedron), obtaining four main results.
First, given any combinatorial tree T, there exists a convex polyhedron and a point with a skeletal cut locus that matches the combinatorics of T.
Second, any (non-degenerate) polyhedron has at most a finite number of points with skeletal cut loci.
Third, we show that almost all polyhedra have no skeletal cut locus.
Fourth, we provide a combinatorial restriction to the existence of skeletal cut loci.

Structuri proiective pe curbe: de la geometrie conforma la ecuatia Hill | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract:
Pe orice curba intr-o varietate confoma de dimensiune cel putin 3 exista un operator liniar de ordinul 2 canonic definit. In orice parametrizare acest operator induce o ecuatie liniara de ordinul 2 de tipul Hill: x''+Fx=0, cu F o functie. Aceasta functie este zero pentru parametrizarile locale proiective, care astfel induc o structura proiectiva pe curba. Acestea pot fi clasificate in functie de clasele de conjugare in acoperirea universala a lui SL(2,R) dar ecuatiile Hill nu pot fi rezolvate explicit in general. Avem cateva criterii pentru a estima tipul de structura proiectiva.

Abstract:
The first part is fairly introductory: we quickly survey the classification of minimal compact complex surfaces in Kodaira's class VII_0. Next, we introduce a new class of compact complex (non-Kaehler) manifolds, called "Generalized Inoue manifolds". For these, we compute some of their topological and analytic invariants: we will also discuss about the natural metrics these manifolds can have.

Spectral convergence of the Dirac operator on typical hyperbolic surfaces of high genus | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract:
We study the Dirac spectrum of typical hyperbolic surfaces of finite area, equipped with a nontrivial spin structure (so that the Dirac spectrum is discrete). For random Weil-Petersson surfaces of large genus $g$ with $o(\sqrt(g))$ cusps, we prove convergence of the spectral density to the spectral density of the hyperbolic plane, with quantitative error estimates. This result implies upper bounds on spectral counting functions and multiplicities, as well as a uniform Weyl law, true for typical hyperbolic surfaces equipped with any nontrivial spin structure.

Dual pairs of momentum maps and coadjoint orbits of diffeomorphism groups | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract:
Mutually completely orthogonal actions on a symplectic manifold yield dual pairs of momentum maps (in the sense of Weinstein).
We review several such dual pairs for diffeomorphism group actions: the Marsden-Weinstein ideal fluid dual pair, the Holm-Marsden EPDiff dual pair, and a recent dual pair involving the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms.
Coadjoint orbits of diffeomorphism groups can be obtained via symplectic reduction in these dual pairs.

The spectrum of the Dirac operator on degenerating Riemannian surfaces | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract:
We study the behavior of the spectrum of the spin Dirac operator on degenerating families of Riemannian surfaces, when the length of a simple closed geodesic shrinks to zero. We work under the hypothesis that the spin structure along the pinched geodesic is non-trivial. It is well-known that the spectrum of an elliptic differential operator on a compact manifold varies continuously under smooth perturbations of the metric. The difficulty of our problem arises from the non-compactness of the limit surface, which is of finite area with two cusps.

Singular limits of hyperbolic PDE and Effective Field Theories | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract: Often in a physical problem there are some degrees of freedom that we treat as unobservable because the energy required to excite them is much greater than the energy scale of the problem.These unobservable degrees of freedom can still affect the physics that we do observe at subleading order. A tool that is often used by physicists to study this is the machinery of effective field theory (EFT). An EFT is a formal expansion in some small parameter, raising important questions about how one should `solve? such an expansion and whether (and in what sense) the solutions approximate the underlying problem. In this talk I will discuss a paper with Harvey Reall in which we studied an EFT for a model PDE and explained how to address the questions that can arise. | ||||

Non-local coefficients in the heat asymptotics for real powers of Laplacians | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract: We prove that some of the heat coefficients in the small-time asymptotic expansion of e^{-t \Delta^r} are non-local, where r \in (0,1), and \Delta is a Laplace-type operator over a compact Riemannian manifold. Furthermore, for r=1/2 we give a conceptual interpretation of the heat kernel of \Delta^r on a certain heat space M_{heat}. More precisely, $M_{heat}$ is obtained by the standard blow-up of the diagonal at time {t=0} inside M \times M \times [0, \infty). |

Simple Closed Quasigeodesics on Tetrahedra | Zoom | |
Abstract: Pogorelov proved in 1949 that every convex polyhedron has at least three simple closed quasigeodesics. Whereas a geodesic has exactly π surface angle to either side at each point, a quasigeodesic has at most π surface angle to either side at each point. Pogorelov's existence proof did not suggest a way to identify the three quasigeodesics, and it is only recently that a finite algorithm has been proposed. Here we identify three simple closed quasigeodesics on any tetrahedron: at least one through 1 vertex, at least one through 2 vertices, and at least one through 3 vertices. The only exception is that isosceles tetrahedra have simple closed geodesics but do not have a 1-vertex quasigeodesic. We also identify an infinite class of tetrahedra that each have at least 34 simple closed quasigeodesics. This is recent joint work with Joseph O'Rourke (Smith College, USA). | ||||

Conformal vector fields on lcK manifolds | IMAR room 307 | |
Abstract: It is well known that on compact Kähler manifolds every conformal vector field is Killing (Lichnerowicz) and every Killing vector field is holomorphic. In this talk I will extend these results to the locally conformally Kähler setting. More precisely, I will show that any conformal vector field $\xi$ on a compact lcK manifold is Killing with respect to the Gauduchon metric, and if the Kähler cover of the manifold is neither flat, nor hyperkähler, then $\xi$ is holomorphic. This is joint work with Mihaela Pilca. | ||||

Constant scalar curvature and Kähler manifolds with nef canonical bundle | Zoom | |
Abstract: Given a compact Kähler manifold it is a classical question whether it admits a Kähler metric of constant scalar curvature (cscK metric for short). In this talk we prove that there always exist cscK metrics on compact Kähler manifolds with nef canonical bundle, thus on all smooth minimal models, and also on the blowup of any such manifold. This confirms an expectation of Jian-Shi-Song and extends the seminal results of Aubin and Yau, giving a large class of new examples of cscK manifolds. As a byproduct we show that the connected component of the automorphism group of any compact Kähler manifold with nef canonical bundle is either trivial or a complex torus. The tools used are from the variational approach in Kähler geometry, and some related results on stability thresholds and Donaldson's J-equation are discussed along the way. | ||||

Collapsed ancient solutions of the Ricci flow on compact homogeneous spaces | Zoom | |
Abstract:The Ricci flow (RF) is a geometric PDE that evolves a Riemannian metric in the direction of its Ricci tensor. Solutions that are defined for any negative time are called ancient, and they arise as blow-up limits near singularities. In this talk, we review some classical facts concerning the RF on compact homogeneous spaces and we present a general existence theorem for collapsed ancient solutions. Furthermore, we show that all our solutions converge in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology, under a suitable rescaling, to an Einstein metric on the base of a torus fibration. As a direct consequence of this result, we illustrate a series of examples. This is joint work with S. Sbiti. |

Finiteness of hyperbolic groups with bounded entropy | Zoom | |
Abstract:I will present a new finiteness theorem: there are only finitely many torsionless groups G acting discretely by isometries on some delta-hyperbolic space X with entropy Ent(X) < E and diameter of the quotient space G\X less than D. I will explain the genesis of the result, which dates back to the work of Heintze, Cheeger and Gromov, declining it in different forms: for 3-manifolds, for general non-positively curved n-manifolds, for Gromov hyperbolic spaces and groups. The main tool behind it is a new, "curvature-free" volume comparison inequality a-la Bishop-Gromov, which only needs an upper bound of entropy and diameter. (This is a joint work with G. Besson, G. Courtois and S. Gallot, see arXiv:2109.13025) | ||||

Cauchy spinors on 3-manifolds | Zoom | |
Abstract:The so-called Cauchy spinors arise naturally when one considers the restriction of a parallel spinor on a spin-manifold $Z$ to an oriented hypersurface $M$ of $Z$. The covariant derivative of such a restriction in the direction of $X \in TM$ is given by the Clifford multiplication by $-A(X)/2$ where $A$ is the second fundamental form of the hypersurface. Then, we can consider more generally the spinors satisfying this last condition on a manifold $M$, with $A$ being an arbitrary symmetric endomorphism field. This is what we call Cauchy spinors. In dimension three, the study of Cauchy spinors on simply connected manifolds is equivalent to the flatness of a connection, which can be rewritten as an equation on the endomorphism field $A$. Since this is a non-linear differential equation, it is still hard to fully understand the structure of this spinors space, even in the simple case of the round sphere $\SS^3$. However, we can give some structure results on manifolds with positive curvature. Moreover, we can use the Lie group structure of $\SS^3$ in order to make explicit computations in this case. | ||||

Introducere in geometria spinoriala in dimensiuni 3 si 4 | Zoom | |
Abstract:Expunerea va fi o introducere in lumea spinorilor. Voi construi grupurile Spin(3) si Spin(4) si reprezentarile lor spinoriale. Orice 3-varietate Riemaniana orientata M este inzestrata cu structuri Spin. Daca M este o hipersuprafata intr-o 4-varietate Riemaniana spin X, putem restrange spinori de la X la M. Cand X admite spinori paraleli nenuli, curbura sa Ricci se anuleaza iar metrica este (anti)auto-duala; in plus, metrica lui M si a doua sa forma fundamentala satisfac doua ecuatii de constragere obtinute prin contractarea ecuatiilor Gauss si Codazzi, iar restrictia spinorului paralel de pe X la M este un asa-numit spinor Cauchy. Vom studia problema Cauchy de extindere a unui spinor Cauchy de pe M la un spinor paralel pe X. | ||||

Vaisman theorem for locally conformally Kähler spaces | Zoom | |
Abstract:Vaisman's theorem states that any locally conformally Kähler metric on a compact complex manifold which admits a Kähler metric is, in fact, globally conformally Kähler. We extend this theorem to compact (singular) complex spaces which are locally irreducible. We also present an example which shows that the additional assumption of local irreducibility cannot be dropped. | ||||

T-dualitate pentru algebroizi Courant tranzitivi | Zoom | |
Abstract: Voi incepe cu o scurta prezentare a teoriei conexiunilor generalizate si a operatorilor de generare Dirac pentru algebroizi Courant tranzitivi. Rezultatul principal al expunerii este o T-dualitate pentru algebroizi Courant tranzitivi, care generalizeaza T-dualitatea lui Cavalcanti si Gualtieri in cazul exact. Voi demonstra diverse proprietati ale algebroizilor Courant tranzitivi aflati in T-dualitate si un rezultat general de existenta a unui T-dual pentru un algebroid Courant tranzitiv dat. Ca exemplificare a teoriei, voi demonstra ca T-dualul unui algebroid Courant heterotic este tot heterotic. Rezultate obtinute in colaborare cu Vicente Cortes (arxiv:2101.07184). |

Metric connections with parallel skew-symmetric torsion | Sala 307 | |
Abstract: In this talk I will present some results, obtained in collaboration with Uwe Semmelmann and Richard Cleyton, about the structure of Riemannian manifolds carying a metric connection with parallel skew-symmetric (non-vanishing) torsion. These objects appear naturally in different geometric contexts, e.g. on naturally reductive homogeneous spaces, on Sasakian and 3-Sasakian manifolds, or on nearly Kähler and nearly parallel G_2 manifolds. Cleyton and Swann have classified them in the case of irreducible holonomy. In the reducible case, I will show that the manifold is the total space of a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic homogeneous fibres over a Riemannian manifold which carries a metric connection with parallel skew-symmetric (possibly vanishing) torsion, and a principal bundle with parallel curvature. This result opens the way towards a possible classification of geometries with parallel skew-symmetric torsion. | ||||
