2025 Fall

  • November 4, 10am (Zoom: 811 5638 1768 (msrc))

    • Speaker: Zhiwei Wang (BNU)

    • Title: Recent progress on the SOS conjecture

    • Abstract: In this talk, we will introduce our recent progress on the study of the SOS conjecture (proposed by Ebenfelt), which is closely related to the Huang-Ji-Yin gap conjecture in the study of rational proper maps between the complex unit balls. This is based on joint work with Chenlong Yue and Professor Xiangyu Zhou.

  • November 12, 10am (Zoom: 811 5638 1768 (msrc))

    • Speaker: Yongxin Gao (NKU)

    • Title: Corona Problem 及相关问题的简单介绍

    • Abstract: 我们将对 Corona Problem 的发展历史进行简单的梳理。具体包括如下内容:1. Corona Problem 与 Banach algebra; 2. 圆盘上 Corona Theorem 的证明;3. Corona Problem in SCV;4. Corona 集的拓扑及解析结构。

    • Speaker: Xingsi Pu (CQUT)

    • Title: Kobayashi distance on complex domans II

    • Abstract: We review some properties and results of Kobayashi distance.

  • November 26, 10am (Zoom: 8115638 1768 (msrc))

    • Speaker: Fei Tao (PKU)

    • Title: Characterization of asymptotically smooth curves

    • Abstract: We construct an example of an asymptotically conformal chord-are curve that fails to be asymptotically smooth. This implies that a function belonging to both the little Bloch space and BMOA does not necessarily lie in VMOA, and that a strongly quasi-symmetric homeomorphism which is symmetric is not necessarily strongly symmetrie. We also provide a complete characterization of asymptotically smooth curves in terms of asymptotic conformal-ity and uniform approximability.

  • December 5, 10am (Zoom: 8115638 1768 (msrc))

    • Speaker: Yaxiong Liu (UMD)

    • Title: Recent progress on the YTD conjecture

    • Abstract: Given a polarized manifold (X, L), The Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture predicts that the existence of constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metric in \(c_1(L)\) is equivalent to algebraic K-stability. Very recently, together with works of Chen-Cheng, Chi Li and others, Boucksom-Jonsson and Darvas-Zhang independently prove a YTD corresponding for (weighted) cscK metries on smooth manifolds. We will summary those breakthroughs. If time permits, we also discuss the existence on singular varieties.

  • December 12, 10am (Qiuzhen building 323)

    • Speaker: Zhuo Liu (CQUT)

    • Title: Skoda's division and related topics

    • Abstract: We will review a sketch proof of Skoda's division and its connection with Corona problem in SCV.

  • December 23, 10am (Zoom: 8115638 1768 (msrc))

    • Speaker: Xieping Wang (USTC)

    • Title: Complex Geodesics and Complex Monge-Ampere Equations with Boundary Singularity

    • Abstract: A complex geodesic ofa complex hyperbolic manifoldis by definition a holomorphie isometry from the hyperbolic discto the manifold. Since Lempert’s groundbreaking work in 1981, complex geodesies and their applications have become an important research topic in several complex variables and CR geometryIn this talk, I will present some recent results concerning the existence and uniqueness of complex geodesics with preseribed boundary value and direction on strongly linearly convex domains in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) with \(\mathbb{C}^3\)-boundary, and applications to the existence and regularityof solutions to a homogeneous complex Monge-Ampere equation with preseribed boundary singularity. This is based on two of my papers, one of which is joint with Professor Xiaojun Huang.

  • January 12, 1-2pm (Qiuzhen building 429)

    • Speaker: Chenghao Qing (THU)

    • Title: On the cohomology of pseudoeffective line bundles over holomorphically convex manifolds

    • Abstract: We present a structure theorem for cohomology groupsof pseudo-effective line bundles over holomorphically convex Kähler manifolds, which generalizes the results of Takegoshi, Demailly-Peternell-Schneider, Meng-Zhou. As applications, we first give ananswer to a question proposed by Matsumura, and establish an injectivity theorem for purelylog terminal pairs generalized to pseudoeffective line bundles with transcendental singularities. Then we show a Kawamata-Viehweg-Kollár-Nadel type vanishing theoremfor higher direet images in terms ofnumerical dimension for closedpositive currents on compact Kähler manifolds. These are basedon works with Prof, Xiankui Meng, Hongzhao Sun, and Prof. Xiangyu Zhou.

  • January 15, 10am (Qiuzhen building 433, Zoom: 811 5638 1768 (msrc))

    • Speaker: Songyan Xie (CAS)

    • Title: A Second Main Theorem for Entire Curves Intersecting Three Conics

    • Abstract: We establish a Second Main Theorem for entire holomorphic curves \(f:\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^2\) intersecting a generic configuration of three conics \(\mathcal{C}_1\), \(\mathcal{C}_2\) , \(\mathcal{C}_3\) in the complex projeetive plane \(\mathbb{P}^2\). By means of invariant logarithmic 2-jet differentials with negative twist, weprove the estimate $$T_f(r)\leq 5\sum_{i=1}^3N_f^{[1]}(r,\mathcal{C}_i)+o(T_f(r))\ \|, $$ where \(T_f(r)\)is the Nevanlinna characteristie function and \(N_f^{[1]}(r,\mathcal{C}_i)\) is the l-truncated counting funetion. This is joint work with Lei Hou, Dinh Tuan Huynh and Joel Merker.

  • January 19, 10am (Qiuzhen building 433, Zoom: 811 5638 1768 (msrc))

    • Speaker: Lei Zhang (THU)

    • Title: Heat approximation to psh functions and regularity of solutions to CMA

    • Abstract: In this talk, we will concern about the regularity of solutions to the complex Monge-Ampère equation on a compact Kähler manifold when the measure belongs to certain Orlicz space. We begin by developing heat approximation techniques for psh functions, yielding an alternative proof of Demailly's regularization theorem on a compaet Kähler manifold. By combining a detailed study of heat approximation to psh functions with our \(L^{\infty}\) and stability estimates, we proceed to establish the modulus of continuity of solutions to the complex Monge-Ampère equation. If time permitted, we will discuss its related geometric applications. This talk based on a joint work with my advisor Prof. Zhenlei Zhang.
