SUMMARY:Local normal forms in complex b^k geometry
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:MICHAEL FRANCIS\, WESTERN UNIVERSITY\n\nThe b-tangent bundle (t
 erminology due to Melrose) is defined so that\nits sections are smooth vec
 tor fields on the base manifold tangent\nalong a given hypersurface. Compl
 ex b-manifolds\, studied by Mendoza\,\nare defined just like ordinary comp
 lex manifolds\, replacing the usual\ntangent bundle by the b-tangent bundl
 e. Recently\, a\nNewlander-Nirenberg theorem for b-manifolds was obtained 
 by\nFrancis-Barron\, building on Mendoza's work. This talk will discuss th
 e\nextension of the latter result to the setting of b^k-geometry for k>1.\
 nThe original approach to b^k-geometry is due to Scott. A slightly\ndiffer
 ent approach that allows for global holonomy phenomena not\npresent in Sco
 tt's framework was introduced by Francis and\,\nindependently\, by Bischof
 f-del Pino-Witte.\n\nThis seminar will be held both online and in person:\
