IGA Seminar

Informal Geometric Analysis Seminar
University of Maryland

DATE: Tuesdays at 4:00 PM.
ROOM: Math 2300.

ORGANIZED BY: X. Chen, T. Darvas, J. Hultgren, Y. A. Rubinstein.

The aim of this seminar is to attract graduate students to Geometric Analysis, through learning and research talks. All talks should be accessible to beginning graduate students who might have background either in PDEs or in geometry, but not necessarily in both.

For the academic year 2020-2021, the seminar is entirely online. The link is here.

Youtube links to our talks can be found here.

Title: Metrics of constant Chern scalar curvature and a Chern-Calabi flow
Abstract: We discuss the existence problem of constant Chern scalar curvature metrics on a compact complex manifold. We prove a priori estimates for these metrics conditional on an upper bound on the entropy, extending a recent result by Chen-Cheng in the K\"ahler setting. In addition, we show how these estimates can be used to prove a convergence result for a Hermitian analogue of the Calabi flow on compact complex manifolds with vanishing first Bott-Chern class.
