Scalar positive immersions

As shown by Gromov-Lawson and Stolz the only obstruction to the existence of positive scalar curvature metrics on closed simply connected manifolds in dimensions at least five appears on spin manifold...

Rigid compact complex manifolds: recent results, questions and conjectures

The aim of this talk is to give an update on recent achievements and developments on rigid compact complex manifolds. I will start introducing different notions of rigidity and explaining the relation...

Projective flatness over klt spaces and uniformisation of varieties with nef anti-canonical divisor

I will discuss a criterion for the projectivisation of a reflexive sheaf on a klt space to be induced by a projective representation of the fundamental group of the smooth locus. This criterion is the...

On a relative version of Serre's notion of G-complete reducibility

We first review some basic results related to Serre's notion of G-complete reducibility for a reductive algebraic group G. We then discuss a relative variant of this concept where we let K be a reduct...

Hermitian-Yang-Mills approach to the conjecture of Griffiths on the positivity of ample vector bundles

Given a vector bundle of arbitrary rank with ample determinant line bundle on a projective manifold, we propose a new elliptic system of differential equations of Hermitian-Yang-Mills type for the cur...

Modeling, Analysis and Numerics of PDEs in Applications

In this talk I will give a broad presentation of my research interests which are in the interplay of modeling, analysis and numerical treatment of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) describing coll...

Convexity: a key to fully nonlinear equations

I will present some recent results concerning highly degenerate elliptic equations of fully nonlinear type. In particular I will speak about the singular Dirichlet problem, the strong maximum principl...

Brauer groups of moduli of hyperelliptic curves, via cohomological invariants

The Brauer group of an algebraic variety X is the group of Azumaya algebras over X, or equivalently the group of Severi-Brauer varieties over X. It is a central object in algebraic and arithmetic geom...

Critical points of Moser-Trudinger type functionals: a general picture

I will give a general overview of the main results concerning existence and qualitative properties of solutions to a family of semilinear elliptic problems involving critical Moser-Trudinger type non-...
