A perspective projection of a dodecahedral tessellation in H3. Four dodecahedra meet at each edge, and eight meet at each vertex, like the cubes of a cubic tessellation in E3.

Title: The Calabi conjecture

Speaker: Parsa Mashayekhi

Abstract: The Calabi conjecture is an important result in differential geometry. It provides Ricci-flat metrics on compact Kähler manifolds. In this talk, after formulating the Calabi conjecture, I will give a sketch of Yau’s proof of this conjecture. If time permits, I will also discuss special Riemannian holonomy groups and some related questions in this area.

 

Some snacks will be provided before and after the talk.
