Description
The workshop will integrate elements from complex differential geometry with Einsten metrics and their generalizations. The topics will include Existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics and extremal Kähler metrics. Notions of stability in algebraic geometry such as Chow stability, K-stability, b-stability, and polytope stability. Kähler-Einstein metrics with conical singularities along a divisor. Calabi-Yau metrics and collapsed limit spaces. Connections with physics and mirror symmetry. Einstein metrics and their moduli spaces, ε-regularity, noncompact examples such as ALE, ALF, and Poincaré -Einstein metrics. Generalizations of the Einstein condition, such as Bach-flat metrics and Ricci solitons. Sasaki-Einstein metrics and metrics with special holonomy. New examples and classification problems Group Photo Organized in partnership with:
