Special Holonomy and Geometric Structures on Complex Manifolds

 

IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, 11 – 15 March

Manifolds endowed with special geometric structures are understood in terms of actions of Lie groups belonging to Berger’s celebrated list. Albeit rooted in differential geometry, these special manifolds exhibit deep relationships with complex and algebraic geometry, global analysis, theoretical physics and symplectic geometry. The meeting will therefore focus on a wide number of topics, including equations of Monge-Ampère type, special holonomy, quaternionic geometry, twistor theory, non-Kähler complex manifolds, harmonic maps, Einstein and soliton metrics, homogeneous spaces, integrable systems, gauge theory, geometric flows, and mathematical string- and M-theory.

Registration

Preliminary Program

 

Proposing a poster

The organizing committee will consider candidacies to present a poster in the programme. The poster session is for participants who wish to advertise their work thus. All proposals should be submitted upon registration, and include the presentation’s title plus a short abstract. The deadline is 26th January, 2024.

 

Financial support

The organizing committee might be able to offer limited financial support to early-career researchers and students. Applicants should fill in the registration form and follow instructions. The deadline is 26 January 2024, and successful requests will be announced by 05 February 2024.
