  1. NFC Seminar: From sectional to Ricci curvature via symmetry

    Location: SLMath: Eisenbud Auditorium, Online/Virtual
    Speakers: Lee Kennard (Syracuse University)

    Zoom Link

    Ricci curvature can be expressed as a sum of sectional curvatures, so lower sectional curvature bounds imply lower Ricci curvature bounds. By computing only partial sums, one obtains a ladder of curvature conditions that interpolate between, for example, positive sectional and positive Ricci curvature.

    Recent joint work with Lawrence Mouillé seeks to extends results from the Grove Symmetry Program from the case of positive sectional curvature to the case of positive intermediate curvature in the above sense. Of special interest is the fact that one finds new examples at each step up the ladder from sectional to Ricci curvature.

  2. GMT and Minimal Submanifolds Seminar: Translating solitons of the Mean Curvature Flow

    Location: SLMath: Eisenbud Auditorium, Online/Virtual
    Speakers: Francisco Martin (University of Granada)

    Zoom Link

    In this talk, we will discuss some recent results about translating solitons for the mean curvature flow. We will start by describing some examples, with finite topology and finite entropy, recently obtained by Hoffman, Martín, and White. Then move on to discuss some structural results for this type of flows, obtained in collaboration with Gama and Moeller.

  3. Graduate Student Seminar Series: Spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami Operator on Naturally Reductive Spaces

    Location: SLMath: Eisenbud Auditorium, Online/Virtual
    Speakers: Jonas Henkel (Philipps-Universität Marburg)

    Zoom Link

    The spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator can be computed using Freudenthal's formula for normal homogeneous spaces $(G/K,g)$, i.e. the metric $g$ is the restriction of a biinvariant metric of $G$. We extend this formula to naturally reductive homogeneous spaces and provide naturally reductive realizations of deformations of normal homogeneous metrics along commuting subalgebras. This method can be applied to $3$-Sasaki manifolds together with their canonical deformation, which are positive $3$-$(\alpha,\delta)$-Sasaki manifolds. We obtain a formula to compute the spectrum of $3$-$(\alpha,\delta)$-Sasaki manifolds. Our approach has been inspired by Wilking's normal homogeneous realization of the Aloff-Wallach manifold $W^{1,1}=SU(3)/S^{1}$. We compute its full $3$-$(\alpha,\delta)$-Sasaki spectrum and related its spectrum to its geometry.

  5. GSA Seminar: Complete Calabi-Yau metric and singular Kahler-Einstein metrics asymptotic to cones

    Location: SLMath: Eisenbud Auditorium, Online/Virtual
    Speakers: Junsheng Zhang (University of California, Berkeley)

    Zoom Link

    We relate the geometry of complete Calabi-Yau metrics and singular Kahler-Einstein metrics to their tangent cones.  Building on Donaldson-Sun’s 2-step degeneration theory, we proved an asymmetric phenomenon between the global and local setting. Part of the talk is based on joint work with Song Sun.

  6. Flows Seminar: A geometric flow towards Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian submanifolds

    Location: SLMath: Eisenbud Auditorium, Online/Virtual
    Speakers: Jingyi Chen (University of British Columbia)

    Zoom Link

    We will discuss a 4th order flow in an almost Kahler manifold. The flow stays within the Hamiltonian isotopy class of the initial Lagrangian submanifold, it is volume non-increasing and the stationary solutions are the Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian submanifods. The talk is based on joint work with Micah Warren.

  1. ADJOINT 2025

    ADJOINT is a yearlong program that provides opportunities for U.S. mathematicians – especially those from the African Diaspora – to conduct collaborative research on topics at the forefront of mathematical and statistical research. Participants will spend two weeks taking part in an intensive collaborative summer session at SLMath. The two-week summer session for ADJOINT 2025 will take place June 30 - July 11, 2025 in Berkeley, California. Researchers can participate in either of the following ways: (1) joining ADJOINT small groups under the guidance of some of the nation's foremost mathematicians and statisticians to expand their research portfolio into new areas, or (2) applying to Self-ADJOINT as part of an existing or newly-formed independent research group ((three-to-five participants is preferred) to work on a new or established research project. Throughout the following academic year, the program provides conference and travel support to increase opportunities for collaboration, maximize researcher visibility, and engender a sense of community among participants.
