Talk at 12:15 PM in 511 Lake


 

Abstract: In this talk we will discuss some recent joint works with Liu, Yau and with Todorov about the geometry of moduli spaces of algebraic curves and polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. We will discuss new metrics on the curve moduli, their curvature and asymptotic properties. We will also discuss the consequences in algebraic geometry such as the stability of log tangent bundles of the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces, Chern number inequality, Gauss-Bonnet theorem and good geometry. We will also discuss the flat coordinate construction and properties of period maps of the Teichmuller space of polarized CY manifolds.



Here are some directions to Northeastern University. Lake Hall can be best accessed from the entrance on the corner of Greenleaf Street and Leon Street.
