Friedrich Hirzebruch Lecture

Geometric quantities of a surface, like distance, angle, or area, change when the surface is deformed. Euler discovered a quantity, the Euler characteristic, which remains unchanged. The formula of Gauss-Bonnet, a landmark result of mathematics, relates Euler characteristic with geometry. In the talk, I will present ideas of Descartes, Euler, and Gauss related to this formula.

Workshop "Young Researchers in String Mathematics"

November 27 - 30, 2017

 

The workshop is an occasion to foster interactions and initiate new collaborations between young researchers active in Germany and nearby countries, who are all interested in mathematical aspects of string theory: mirror symmetry, enumerative geometry of curves (Gromov-Witten theory, Donaldson-Thomas, stable pair invariants, ...) and their modularity, integrability, and algebraic properties, tropical geometry, topological recursion, wall-crossing phenomena and Bridgeland stability conditions, relations to gauge theory, geometric quantization, conformal field theory, etc.

Parent event: 
Metric Measure Spaces and Ricci Curvature

In the lecture I will survey recent advances on calculus on RCD spaces. I shall start recalling how the concept of `L2-normed L1 module' allows to give a reasonable de finition of
(co)tangent space and to build a first-order theory on abstract metric measure spaces. The Bochner inequality, which properly interpreted de fines RCD spaces, will then allow
to build a second order calculus in such setting: we shall review it and, if time permits, see some applications to the study of geometry of RCD spaces.

The space of positive semi-definite $n\times n$ matrices with unit trace, or more generally, the space of states on a $C^*$ algebra can be made into a metric space using constructions that a analogous to the transportation-theoretic constructions that make  spaces of probability measures into metric spaces.

Metric Measure Spaces and Ricci Curvature

On a Riemannian manifold with a positive lower bound on the Ricci tensor, the distance of isoperimetric sets from geodesic balls is quantitatively controlled in terms of the gap between the isoperimetric profile of the manifold and that of a round sphere of suitable radius. The deficit between the diameters of the manifold and of the corresponding sphere is bounded likewise.

Metric Measure Spaces and Ricci Curvature

Isometric actions on Riemannian manifolds have been a usefu tool to investigate the interaction between the topology and the Riemannian metric a manifold might admit. A major result in the area is the theorem of Myers-Steenrod [4] stating that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold is a Lie group. Later this result has been extended to a wider class of spaces with certain synthetic notions of curvature bounds such as Alexandrov spaces by Fukaya-Yamaguchi [2] and limits of manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bounds by Cheeger-Colding [1].

It has been established by Lisini that absolutely continuous curves (of order 2) $\mu:t ↦ \mu_t$ in the Wasserstein space over a metric space $X$ can be represented by an action-minimizing probability measure on the space of absolutely continuous curves. We will show that in the basic case of the real line ($X=\mathbb{R}$), this measure can moreover be asked to be Markovian. This is a special case of a more general result, with other consequences, where no continuity assumptions are made on the family $\mu$. (joint work with Charles Boubel)

The idea of topologically twisting a supersymmetric field theory was introduced in the physics literature in order to generate interesting new examples of topological field theories.  The idea is very general, but systematically realising the examples it produces is not always possible using mathematical models for topological field theory (such as Atiyah-Segal's functorial field theory, or the theory of E_n-algebras).  In this talk I'll explain what it means to twist a supersymmetric field theory in the factorization algebra framework devel
