The Seminar

The "Joint Seminar on Complex Algebraic Geometry and Complex Analysis" is a research seminar, organised by the algebraic and complex geometry research groups in Bochum, Essen, Cologne, Münster, and Wuppertal. The seminar meets roughly twice per semester for a full day at one of the participating departments. There are three talks per meeting, both by invited guests and by speakers from the organising universities. We aim to leave ample room for discussions.

The talks are open for everyone. Contact one of the organisers if you are interested in attending the meeting. We have some funds that might help to support travel for some junior participants.

Meetings of the seminar are partially supported by

  • DFG-GRK 2553 "Symmetries and Classifying Spaces - analytic, arithmetic, and derived" (Essen)
  • DFG-SFB/TR 191 "Symplectic structures in geometry, algebra and dynamics" (Bochum-Cologne-Heidelberg)
  • ANR-DFG-Projekt QuaSiDy - "Quantization, Singularities, and Holomorphic Dynamics"
  • Mathematics Münster



Next Meeting


At the next meeting, we will CELEBRATE that the seminar has been running continuously for 10 YEARS now !


DATE AND PLACE


The next meeting will take place on Friday, April 28th, 2023 at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (on-site).


TALKS


  • Hans-Joachim Hein (Münster) : A gluing construction for surfaces with hyperbolic cusps

    Abstract:
    We will describe an example of a degeneration of sextics in P^3 with only ordinary triple point singularities on its central fiber. Then we will show how the unique negative Kähler-Einstein metrics on the smooth fibers, which exist by the Aubin-Yau theorem, disintegrate into three distinct geometric pieces on approach to the central fiber: (1) Kobayashi's complete Kähler-Einstein metric on the complement of the triple points, (2) long thin neck regions, and (3) Tian-Yau's complete Ricci-flat Kähler metrics in small neighborhoods of the vanishing cycles. All of the necessary background will be explained in the talk. Joint work with Xin Fu and Xumin Jiang.


  • Silvia Sabatini (Cologne): Topological properties of (tall) monotone complexity one spaces

    Abstract:
    In symplectic geometry it is often the case that compact symplectic manifolds with large group symmetries admit indeed a Kähler structure. For instance, if the manifold is of dimension 2n and it is acted on effectively by a compact torus of dimension n in a Hamiltonian way (namely, there exists a moment map which describes the action), then it is well-known that there exists an invariant Kähler structure. These spaces are called symplectic toric manifolds or also complexity-zero spaces, where the complexity is given by n minus the dimension of the torus. In this talk I will explain how there is some evidence that a similar statement holds true when the complexity is one and the manifold is monotone (the latter being the symplectic analog of the Fano condition in algebraic geometry), namely, that every monotone complexity-one space is simply connected and has Todd genus one, properties which are also enjoyed by Fano varieties. These results are largely inspired by the Fine-Panov conjecture and are in collaboration with Daniele Sepe. Moreover, in ongoing work with Isabelle Charton and Daniele Sepe, we completely classify monotone complexity one space that are “tall” (no reduced space is a point), proving as a byproduct that the torus action extends to a full toric action and that each of these spaces admits a Kähler structure.


  • Richard Wentworth (Maryland / MPI Bonn): A Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem for normal projective varieties

    Abstract:
    The correspondence between polystable reflexive sheaves on compact Kaehler manifolds and the existence of suitably singular Hermitian-Einstein metrics can be extended to normal projective varieties that are smooth in codimension two. A particular application is a characterization of those sheaves which saturate the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality. This talk will present some of the key details of this result, which is joint work with Xuemiao Chen.
