Finite Free Resolutions and opposite Schubert varieties

In the first part of this talk I will give an update on the connection between perfect ideals of codimension 3 and Schubert varieties of exceptional groups (and more generally opposite Schubert variet...

Connected algebraic groups acting on Fano fibrations over P^1

Let G be a connected algebraic group and X a variety endowed with a regular action of G and a Mori fibre space X/P^1 whose fibre is a Fano variety of Picard rank at least 2. In this talk I will explai...

Cluster structures for Grassmannians

The coordinate ring of the Grassmannian has the structure of a cluster algebra. On the other side, the category of maximal CM modules over a certain infinite dimensional algebra is a cluster category ...

Lefschetz collections and residual categories for Grassmannians

I will try to explain and motivate the notion of Lefschetz (exceptional) collections in derived categories of coherent sheaves and their residual categories and, in particular, its conjectura relation...

Filtrations on section rings and non-Archimedean geometry

To any polarized variety (X,L) is associated a section ring R. I will explain the relation between suitable classes of norms on R and functions on the Berkovich analytification of X. Time permitting, ...

Equidistribution of Noether-Lefschetz loci

Let V−>B be a holomorphic family of smooth complex projective and polarized varieties. The Noether-Lefschetz locus of B is the set of points x where the Picard rank jumps, i.e. where H_2(V_x) has e...

Extra twisted connected sums and their v-invariants

Riemannian Manifolds with holonomy G_2 are interesting both for geometers and for theoretical physicists. I will give a short introduction into the basics of G_2-geometry. I will then introduce the Cr...

Yamabe flow on smooth and singular spaces: old and new results

Yamabe flow is an intrinsic geometric flow that deforms the metric of a Riemannian manifold. If the flow converges, it deforms the metric to a metric of constant scalar curvature with the sign dependi...

Sulla moltiplicazione delle funzioni sferiche di uno spazio omogeneo affine senza molteplicità di tipo A

Sia G un gruppo algebrico semplice definito sui complessi e sia K un sottogruppo riduttivo di G, chiuso nella topologia di Zariski. La varietà omogenea G/K è detta senza molteplicità se ogni component...

Special varieties and hyperbolicity

Campana proposed a series of conjectures relating algebro-geometric and complex-analytic properties of algebraic varieties and their arithmetic. The main ingredient is the definition of the class of s...

Finiteness Theorems for Gromov-Hyperbolic Groups

This is a joint work with G. Courtois, S. Gallot and A. Sambusetti. We shall prove that, given two positive numbers and H, there are finitely non cyclic torsion-free -hyperbolic marked groups (Γ.Σ) sa...

Two anyon Schroedinger operators

Abstract: Anyons are quantum particles with statistics intermediate between bosons and fermions, arising in less than 3 dimensions. There are two possible approaches: one uses multi-valued wave functi...
