seminario Romeo Segnan Dalmasso
by Diego Conti 21 May '24

21 May '24

Buongiorno, segnalo che giovedì 23 maggio alle 14.30 in aula seminari Romeo Segnan Dalmasso (Università di Milano Bicocca) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Harmful structures and Killing spinors* di cui riporto l'abstract: The existence of Killing spinors on a given manifold imposes strict conditions on its geometry. In the Riemannian setting in particular, this implies, for example, that the metric is Einstein. In the pseudo-Riemannian setting, the situation is less studied, nor as strict, for instance the metric need not be Einstein. In this talk, after an introduction to the language of spinors and some history concerning their study, I will present a new result concerning the existence of a Killing spinor on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (Z, h). I will show that the existence on (Z, h) implies the existence of a pair of spinors (\psi, \phi) in the spinor bundle of an embedded (non-degenerate) hypersurface (M, g) satisfying a coupled PDE system involving the Weingarten operator of the embedding A, which will be called real or imaginary weakly /harmful structure/, depending on the signature of the normal vector-field to (M, g). The embedding process will require an additional technical condition, namely d tr A+\delta A = 0, and the assumption that the metric and the Weingarten operator are real analytic tensors. Some comments will be given on the special case of Lorentzian signature. Finally, I will present some work in progress regarding a (partial) classification in low dimension of harmful structures on homogeneous manifolds and the resulting cohomogeneity-one embeddings. This talk is based on a joint work with D. Conti and F.A. Rossi. A presto Diego

Seminario di Geometria del 16/05
by Carlo Collari 15 May '24

15 May '24

Buongiorno, Vi scrivo per ricordarvi che domani 16 Maggio, in Aula Seminari alle 14:30, Domenico Fiorenza (Sapienza Università di Roma) terrà il seminario dal titolo: * Projective 2-representations of linear Lagrangian correspondences* di cui riporto l'abstract: As recently illustrated by Ludewig and Roos, second quantization of fermions, i.e., the algebraic construction associating with a quadratic vector space its Clifford algebra and to a Lagrangian relation its exterior algebra (the Fock module) is an anomalous functor with values in the 2-category of algebras, bimodules and bimodule morphisms, with anomaly given by determinant lines. This can be equivalently seen as a projective 2-representation of the category of Lagrangian relations. By analogy to what happens with projective representations of groups, this suggests that suitable 2-central extensions of the category of Lagrangian relations should lift this projective 2-representation to an actual, i.e., non-anomalous, 2-representation. This makes the generalized Lagrangian relations considered by Stolz and Teichner naturally appear. Based on joint work in progress with Chetan Vuppulury. Per chi fosse interessato ad andare a pranzo con lo speaker ci troveremo per l'una e mezza in atrio. A presto, Carlo

Seminario di geometria 9 maggio
by Filippo Bianchi 07 May '24

07 May '24

Carə tuttə, Il seminario di geometria di questa settimana si terrà Giovedì 9 Maggio alle 16.00 in Aula Seminari. Peter Smillie (Universität Heidelberg) parlerà di "Big minimal surfaces in symmetric spaces". Di seguito l'abstract. A well-known collection of problems in differential geometry reduce to the study of minimal surfaces in Riemannian symmetric spaces of non-compact type. In general, the derivative of the inclusion of a minimal surface is a holomorphic section of a certain vector bundle — what is special about symmetric spaces is that one can often recreate the minimal surface from this holomorphic data, through what is called the non-Abelian Hodge correspondence. This often lets you describe the moduli space of all minimal surfaces in an interesting way. However, this process of recreating the minimal surface still involves solving an elliptic PDE, and so precise questions require elliptic estimates. In this talk, I will try to describe the idea behind the basic interior estimate of Mochizuki and Simpson and some of its applications, and also tell you about a new version of this estimate with weaker hypotheses and weaker conclusions. This is work in progress with Nathanial Sagman. Ci troveremo alle 13 in atrio per andare a pranzo con lo speaker. Vi segnalo anche il seminario di Combinatoria, Teoria di Lie e Topologia di giovedì 9 maggio, potenzialmente interessante per alcuni membri del gruppo: alle 14.45 in Aula Magna Andrei Neguţ (MIT) parlerà di "Braids and coherent sheaves". Di seguito l'abstract: We will present a conjecture relating the affine Hecke category (an algebraic incarnation of annular braids) to coherent sheaves on the commuting variety. Joint work with Eugene Gorsky. This is an affine version of the conjecture (now a theorem) we proposed with Jacob Rasmussen that relates Khovanov homology to coherent sheaves on Hilbert schemes. Le informazioni sui prossimi seminari si trovano sul sito<https://www.dm.unipi.it/en/seminars/?category=653b522f8f0af760bdc42729>. Vi aspettiamo! Buona serata, Filippo, Giovanni e Giuseppe

Dato che il seminario di geometria è stato annullato, condivido l'invito al seminario dei BabyGs. Vi aspettiamo, Giovanni ________________________________ Da: Giovanni Framba via Dottorandi <dottorandi(a)lists.dm.unipi.it> Inviato: lunedì 22 aprile 2024 21:32 A: Studenti <studenti(a)dm.unipi.it>; dottorandi(a)dm.unipi.it <dottorandi(a)dm.unipi.it>; babygs-users(a)googlegroups.com <babygs-users(a)googlegroups.com> Oggetto: [dottorato] Seminario baby geometri Carə tuttə, Il seminario dei baby geometri di questa settimana si terrà domani Martedì 23 Aprile alle 14.30 in Aula Riunioni. Manousos Manouras (Université de Pau / Universidad de Zaragoza) parlerà di "Alexander type invariants of line arrangements". Di seguito l'abstract. There have been various definitions of the Alexander invariants of a knot. Following some of these definitions one can generalise them so as to have coefficients twisted by a linear representation. The Alexander type invariants are known to detect non-trivial topological information(genus, hyperbolic volume of a knot etc). The twisted Alexander polynomial was introduced by Wada for knots and has been studied thereafter for more general manifolds as the complement of algebraic curves or line arrangements. We will discuss the relation of the twisted Alexander polynomial of the exterior manifold of a line arrangement and the twisted Alexander polynomial of its boundary manifold. We will present how using twisted Alexander polynomials induced by reducible representations, we can retract nontrivial topological information. We will also deal with the characteristic varieties of line arrangements, studied by various authors such as Zariski, Libgober, Artal. The main problem is to understand if the characteristic varieties are combinatorially determined in general. This is known to be true for their ”homogeneous part”, which corresponds to the resonance variety, as well as for the translated components having dimension at least one, as they are determined by orbifold pencils. This does not work in the same way for the 0-dimensional translated components. Here we present examples such that the characteristic variety has some translated 0-dimensional global component. Ci troveremo alle 13 in atrio per andare a pranzo con lo speaker. Le informazioni sui prossimi seminari si trovano sul sito dei Baby Geometri! Vi aspettiamo! Buona serata, Filippo, Giovanni e Giuseppe

Seminario di geometria 23/04
by Filippo Bianchi 22 Apr '24

22 Apr '24

Carə tuttə, Il seminario di geometria di questa settimana si terrà domani Martedì 23 Aprile alle 14.30 in Aula Riunioni. Isaac Sundberg (MPIM Bonn) parlerà di "Khovanov homology and surfaces in the 4-ball". Di seguito l'abstract. It is difficult to detect differences between topological and smooth phenomena, so it was surprising when Rasmussen used a purely combinatorial theory, known as Khovanov homology, to obstruct the smooth sliceness of topologically slice knots. In this talk, we discuss another application of this homology theory: obstructing smooth isotopy of topologically isotopic surfaces in the 4-ball. We highlight recent results and give an idea of the construction for this obstruction. Ci troveremo alle 13 in atrio per andare a pranzo con lə speaker. Le informazioni sui prossimi seminari si trovano sul sito<https://www.dm.unipi.it/en/seminars/?category=653b522f8f0af760bdc42729>. Vi aspettiamo! Buona serata, Filippo, Giovanni e Giuseppe

Seminario di geometria 15/04
by Filippo Bianchi 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

Carə tuttə, Il seminario di geometria della prossima settimana si terrà eccezionalmente domani Lunedì 15 Aprile alle 11.00 in Aula Magna. Marco Golla (Université de Nantes) parlerà di "Line arrangements with only triple points". Di seguito l'abstract. Line arrangements are unions of lines in a (projective or affine) space over some field and they are studied from a combinatorial or algebro-geometrical standpoint. (Non-trivial) complex line arrangements always have at least a double or a triple point, a point where exactly two or three lines meet. Does there exist 13 lines in the complex projective plane that only meet at triple points? I will discuss some topological ideas around this question and higher-degree variants. Le informazioni sui prossimi seminari si trovano sul sito<https://www.dm.unipi.it/en/seminars/?category=653b522f8f0af760bdc42729>. Vi aspettiamo! Buona serata, Filippo, Giovanni e Giuseppe
