On extension of twisted canonical forms defined on the central fiber of a Kähler family

We will report on a joint work with J. Cao. Our main result establishes the extension of twisted canonical forms defined on an infinitesimal neighborhood of the central fiber of a Kahler family under ...

Dalle trasformazioni quadratiche alle trasformazioni cremoniane

Gli sviluppi più notevoli dello studio delle trasformazioni geometriche si ebbero nella seconda metà del XIX secolo e culminarono nell’opera di Luigi Cremona sulle trasformazioni birazionali del piano...

Canonical sheaves at isolated canonical singularities

The canonical line bundle and the corresponding canonical sheaf belong to the most important geometric/analytic objects associated to a complex manifold. They play a crucial role e.g. in classificatio...

Existence and regularity of Faber-Krahn minimizers in a Riemannian manifold

We consider the problem of finding domains that minimize the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a Riemannian manifold under volume constraint (Faber-Krahn minimizers). In the Euclidean set...

Perverse sheaves on affine flag varieties, geometry of the dual group, and
representations

The description of regular blocks of the category O of a complex semisimple Lie algebra in terms of perverse sheaves on a flag variety has been a crucial tool for its study, and in particular for the ...

Numerically special varieties

Campana introduced the class of special varieties as the varieties admitting no maps onto an orbifold of general type. They are also characterized by the non-existence of Bogomolov sheaves which are r...

Finite flat group schemes over Z

Finite flat group schemes are important in number theory. We explain what we do and don't know about their structure over rings of integers of number fields, in particular over Z. This is joint work w...

Singularly-perturbed elliptic functionals: Γ-convergence and stochastic homogenisation

In this talk we introduce a general class of singularly-perturbed elliptic functionals Fε and we study their asymptotic behaviour as the perturbation parameter ε > 0 vanishes. Under suitable assump...

Replacing vanishing theorems in mixed characteristic and the Minimal Model Program
for 3-folds over excellent schemes

Kodaira and Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing is frequently used to lift sections of adjoint bundles, a crucial part of many arguments in the classification theory of algebraic varieties, notably in many pro...

Overgroups of regular unipotent elements in simple algebraic groups

We consider the question of determining reductive overgroups of regular unipotent elements in simple algebraic groups and in particular give a condition which guarantees that the overgroup does not li...

Algebre di vertice (di Poisson) in algebra, geometria e sistemi integrabili

Nel seminario si presenteranno delle applicazioni delle algebre di vertice e algebre di vertice di Poisson in algebra, geometria e sistemi integrabili. In particolare si introdurrà la nozione di W-alg...

Varietà con olonomia speciale: singolarità e degenerazioni

Le varietà Riemanniane con olonomia speciale sono alcune delle strutture geometriche più rilevanti in geometria differenziale. In particolare, metriche con olonomia speciale sono Einstein, risolvono c...
