Fall Abstracts
Yu Li
Ancient solutions model the singularity formation of the Ricci flow. In two and three dimensions, we currently have complete classifications for κ-noncollapsed ancient solutions, while the higher dimensional problem remains open. This talk will survey some recent developments of κ-noncollapsed ancient solutions with nonnegative curvature in higher dimensions.
Yi Lai
We found a family of $\mathbb{Z}_2\times O(2)$-symmetric 3d steady gradient Ricci solitons. We show that these solitons are all flying wings. This confirms a conjecture of Hamilton.
Jiyuan Han
Let (X,D) be a log variety with an effective holomorphic torus action, and Θ be a closed positive (1,1)-current. For any smooth positive function g defined on the moment polytope of the torus action, we study the Monge-Ampere equations that correspond to generalized and twisted Kahler-Ricci g-solitons. We prove a version of Yau-Tian-Donaldson (YTD) conjecture for these general equations, showing that the existence of solutions is always equivalent to an equivariantly uniform Θ-twisted g-Ding-stability. When Θ is a current associated to a torus invariant linear system, we further show that equivariant special test configurations suffice for testing the stability. Our results allow arbitrary klt singularities and generalize most of previous results on (uniform) YTD conjecture for (twisted) Kahler-Ricci/Mabuchi solitons or Kahler-Einstein metrics. This is a joint work with Chi Li.
Ilyas Khan
In this talk we discuss some uniqueness results for mean curvature flow translators. Under certain curvature conditions, we classify the blow-down limits of translating solutions of the mean curvature flow and employ recent techniques from the theory of ancient MCF solutions to show the uniqueness of translators with these blow-down limits.
Max Hallgren
In this talk, we study the singularities of closed Ricci flow solutions which satisfy a Type-I scalar curvature assumption. Bamler's structure theory of Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature shows that singularities are modeled on shrinking Ricci solitons with singularities of codimension 4. We extend the analysis by characterizing the singular set of the flow in terms of a Gaussian density functional, and also establish entropy uniqueness of dilation limits at a fixed point, generalizing results previously known assuming a Type-I bound on the full curvature tensor. We also show that in dimension 4, the singular Ricci soliton is smooth away from finitely many points, which are conical smooth orbifold singularities.
Yang Li
One possible interpretation of the SYZ conjecture is that for a polarized family of CY manifolds near the large complex structure limit, there is a special Lagrangian fibration on the generic region of the CY manifold.
