Buondì,
Vi segnalo ben tre seminari di geometria nei prossimi due giorni.
Avviso tecnico: per qualche motivo alcuni iscritti non riescono a mandare
mail alla mailing list. Pur essendo amministratore non riesco a capirne il
motivo. Vi chiederei quindi di mandarmi eventuali consigli su:
1) Come rimediare a questo problema,
2) Come creare una *semplice* mailing list ex novo usando siti esterni al
dipartimento.
Seguono le informazioni sui seminari:

Curvatura e Theorema Egregium: un percorso storico intorno alle
Disquisitiones Generales di Gauss
<http://www.dm.unipi.it/webnew/it/seminari/curvatura-e-theorema-egregium-un-…>
Alberto Cogliati
Il seminario si propone di descrivere alcune tappe fondamentali che hanno
condotto Gauss alla redazione finale delle sue Disquisitiones Generales
circa Superficies Curvas (1827). Saranno analizzate, in particolare, due
dimostrazioni del teorema di invarianza della curvatura che Gauss fornì nel
breve arco di un biennio (la prima risale al 1825 e fu pubblicata solo
postuma; la seconda è quella che ritroviamo nelle stesse Disquisitiones).
Il confronto di tali dimostrazioni ci consentirà di svolgere alcune
considerazioni intorno alle scelte metodologiche dello stesso Gauss e più
in generale intorno al dibattito, cruciale per comprendere alcuni aspetti
dello sviluppo storico della Geometria Differenziale nel corso
dell'Ottocento, sulla legittimità dell'impiego degli strumenti dell'Analisi
per affrontare e risolvere questioni di natura geometrica.

Integral Picard group of moduli of smooth curves and quasi-polarized K3
surfaces
<http://www.dm.unipi.it/webnew/it/seminari/integral-picard-group-moduli-smoo…>
Andrea Di Lorenzo
A celebrated result of Harer, Arbarello and Cornalba tells us that the
integral Picard group of the moduli stack of smooth curves of fixed genus
is freely generated by the class of the Hodge line bundle, at least over a
characteristic zero ground field. So, what about positive characteristic?
On the other hand, the Picard group of the stack of smooth, quasi-polarized
K3 surfaces of fixed degree behaves quite differently: O'Grady showed that
its rank increases with the increasing of the degree of the
quasi-polarization, and recently it has been proved that Noether-Lefschetz
divisors generate the rational Picard group. Does the same result hold true
for the integral Picard group?
In this talk I will present how equivariant intersection theory can shed
some light on both these questions, at least in the case of low genus or
low degree.

Embedding hyperbolic manifolds
<http://www.dm.unipi.it/webnew/it/seminari/embedding-hyperbolic-manifolds>
Leone Slavich
A complete hyperbolic n-manifold geodesically embeds if it realized a
totally geodesic embedded hypersurface in an (n+1)-hyperbolic manifold. On
one hand, we know no general obstruction to the fact that a hyperbolic
manifold of dimension n>2 embeds, but showing explicitly that it does is
often difficult. Moreover, showing that a hyperbolic manifold embeds is
sometimes a useful tool to construct hyperbolic manifolds with prescribed
topological properties.
We will survey some results on embedding of hyperbolic manifolds which are
based on arithmetic techniques and hold in all dimensions. These apply to
many examples of arithmetic manifolds of simplest type, as well as to
examples of non-arithmetic manifolds such as those constructed by Gromov
and Piatetski-Shapiro. This proves that the growth rate, with respect to
volume V, of commensurabilty classes of hyperbolic manifolds having a
geodesically embedding representative of volume <V is super-exponential.
This is joint work with Alexander Kolpakov and Stefano Riolo.

deadline to apply for it is March 31.

Contact structures on lens spaces and their Stein fillings
<http://www.dm.unipi.it/webnew/it/seminari/contact-structures-lens-spaces-an…>
Edoardo Fossati
SNS Pisa
Everything has been said about Stein fillings of lens spaces when they are
endowed with their standard (tight) contact structure. Nevertheless, lens
spaces support many more tight structures, that are all classified, but for
which a complete list of their Stein fillings is still missing.
I will present a series of methods and techniques which can be used to
investigate the topology of these fillings, giving constraints, for
example, on their Euler characteristic and fundamental group.
Segnalo post-doc in low-dimensional topology/knot theory a Regensburg.

Splitting numbers
<http://www.dm.unipi.it/webnew/it/seminari/splitting-numbers>
Carlo Collari
NYU Abu Dhabi
The weak splitting number is the minimal number of crossing
changes which are necessary to split the a link into a collection of
disjoint knots. This invariant can be thought of as the (Gordian) distance
between a link and the set of completely split links, and somehow as a
measure of the complexity of a link. There is another version of the
splitting number whose definition allows only crossing changes between
different components.
In this talk we shall illustrate various methods to compute the weak
splitting number and the splitting number. In particular, I shall give
a template to produce lower bounds on the weak splitting number, and
provide some examples. The material discussed in this talk is joint
work with A. Cavallo and A. Conway.
