Kähler and Differential Geometry is Focus of Shanks Workshop


The department hosted a two-day workshop on Kähler and Differential Geometry September 25-26, 2010. The workshop addressed recent advances in the study of special metrics on manifolds and their moduli space. The focus was on results related to the existence of Einstein, quasi-Einstein, and Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on manifolds as well as the moduli spaces of anti-self-dual or canonical Kähler metrics.

The workshop was organized by Assistant Professor Ioana Suvaina with partial support from the department’s Shanks Endowment. More information is available on the workshop web site.
