Dear all,

a PhD course on
   "Complex Monge-Ampère equations on compact Kähler manifolds"
will be taught by Chinh H. Lu in Firenze.
The course will take place between February and May 2016, at Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini" of Università di Firenze.
You find here below the abstract.

A first preliminary meeting is scheduled for:
  monday February 01, 2016, at 13:00.
The calendar of the course will be scheduled in that occasion.

Further and updated informations will be available at the webpage of the event on GeCoGeDi.


Please, feel free to contact us if you are interested in attending the course. And to forward this message to whoever might be interested in it.


The course is supported by the project SIR2014 "Analytic aspects in complex and hypercomplex geometry" and it is part of the PhD program in Mathematics of Università di Firenze.


Best regards,
Daniele Angella, Simone Calamai

Title: "Complex Monge-Ampère equations on compact Kähler manifolds"

Number of hours: 30h / 6 CFU
(20h by Chinh, 10h of preparation in complex geometry by Daniele)

Period: starting from the middle of February until middle of May

Place: Firenze

Program:

The aim of the course is to survey recent important results concerning
 the complex Monge-Ampère equation on compact Kähler manifolds. We
first present the proof of the Calabi conjecture by reducing it to a
complex Monge-Ampère equation and establishing a priori estimates. We
then go on to develop a (global) pluripotential theory on compact
Kähler manifold, focusing on the theory of (generalized) capacities
and its application in proving singular uniform estimate.  We also
introduce a variational method to solve degenerate complex
Monge-Ampère equation and study the finite energy spaces which will be
recognized as the completion of the space of Kähler metircs equipped
with the Mabuchi distance. The last lecture will be a more advanced
talk  (materials  from previous lectures will be useful)  on the weak
Calabi flow,  its large time behavior as well as some conjectures in
the field.

A preliminary part of the course will discuss basic results on complex
and Kähler geometry.
