Limitatezza di varietà di Calabi-Yau ellittiche

In questo seminario, parlerò di alcuni risultati e idee recenti nello studio della limitatezza delle varietà, in collaborazione con Di Cerbo, Birkar e Di Cerbo, e Filipazzi e Hacon. In particolare, mi...

Four dimensional Hadamard manifolds are Euclidean

I will give an overview about topology of CAT (0) manifolds and will explain why in four dimensions every such manifold is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space. This is a joint work with Nagano-Stadler...

Funzioni zeta associate a curve sui campi finiti

La dicotomia tra funzioni zeta di Dedekind e funzioni zeta parziali associate a un campo di numeri si estende formalmente a certi valori zeta in campi globali di caratteristica positiva (lavori di And...

Bershadsky-Polyakov vertex algebras at positive integer levels and duality

One of the simplest examples of W-algebras is the Bershadsky-Polyakov vertex algebra W∧k(g,f), associated to g=sl(3) and the minimal nilpotent element f. We study the simple Bershadsky-Polyakov algebr...

The conjectures of Lang and Vojta

Why do some polynomial equations have only finitely many solutions in the integers? Lang-Vojta's conjecture provides a conjectural answer and relates this number-theoretic question to complex geometry...

Dirac reduction for shifted Yangians

Finite W-algebras are a finite collection of filtered algebras associated to each complex semisimple Lie algebra, which have interesting applications to the classification of primitive ideals in envel...

Nilpotent orbits arising from admissible affine vertex algebras

In this talk, I will give a simple description of the closure of the nilpotent orbits appearing as associated varieties of admissible affine vertex algebras in terms of primitive ideals. I will also c...

Weyl chambers and Geometric Invariant Theory

Given an embedding of complex reductive Lie groups L...

Orbifold Kähler Groups related to Mapping Class groups

We prove the uniform stability of some smooth DM stacks obtained by further ramifying the moduli stack of stable curves over the Deligne-Mumford boundary divisor and apply this construction to prove t...

Varietà di Fano con difetto di Lefschetz 3

Parleremo di un risultato di struttura per alcune varietà di Fano (complesse e lisce), che dipende dal difetto di Lefschetz δ(X), un invariante di X definito nel modo seguente. Consideriamo un divisor...

Yamabe type problems and singular Riemannian foliations

The Yamabe problem is a classical problem about how to find Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature. This problem can be written as a PDE with unique positive solutions. On the other hand, the...
