A Gromov—Hausdorff Convergence Result for the Moduli Space of Singular Monopoles

I will introduce singular monopoles on R^3 and their moduli space. We will then focus on U(2) singular monopoles, which have known explicit expressions, and look at the Gromov—Hausdorff convergence of the moduli space as one singularity is sent off towards infinity.

Vector Bundles on Toric Stacks

We give moduli interpretations of toric vector bundles and generalize this approach to a classification of bundles on arbitrary toric stacks.

Topological dynamics of the Rado graph

We introduce some concepts from topological dynamics, in particular the universal minimal flow, with the goal of showing that the universal minimal flow of the automorphism group of the Rado graph is the space of linear orders of the Rado graph.

Constructing calibrated submanifolds through evolution equations

I will talk about how we can construct examples of calibrated submanifolds using the techniques of evolution equations. We will begin by defining the ideas involved in coming up with these evolution equations and then look at some of the examples of calibrated submanifolds that are constructed this way, following arXiv:math/0008021, arXiv:math/0008155, arXiv:math/0010036 and arXiv:math/0401123.

Homotopy theoretical holomorphic invariants of complex manifolds

In this talk, I will begin by presenting a method for extracting new holomorphic invariants of a complex manifold from its de Rham algebra of complex-valued differential forms. These invariants can be seen as refined versions of the complexified homotopy groups. I will then explore their potential connections with Hermitian geometry. Specifically: (1) the non-abelian part (refined fundamental group) should be related to a generalization of Higgs bundle; (2) the abelian part (refined higher homotopy) may provide new tools for studying the geometry of holomorphic mappings.

Vector bundles over a complex torus

We will cover basic results about the complex geometry of a complex torus X, followed by a discussion of holomorphic vector bundles over X. An immediate result due to Hodge theory is the existence of complex bundles that don't admit holomorphic structures when the complex dimension of X is at least 2. We will thus focus on bundles whose Chern classes lie in the diagonal of the Hodge diamond and ask which ones can be holomorphic.
