Mathematics Colloquium
Kahler-Einstein metrics
Speaker: Gabor Szekelyhidi, Notre Dame
Location: Warren Weaver Hall 1302
Date: Monday, February 12, 2018, 3:45 p.m.
Synopsis:
Kahler-Einstein metrics are of fundamental importance in Kahler geometry, with connections to algebraic geometry, geometric
analysis, string theory amongst other fields. Their study has received a great deal of attention recently, culminating in the solution of the
Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture, characterizing which complex manifolds admit Kahler-Einstein metrics. I will give an overview of this conjecture, and describe some more recent developments.
