Mathematics Department Colloquia take place on Friday afternoons
4:00-5:00PM in Hill Center 705 , Busch Campus.
Also, due to recent construction on Route 18, most on-line maps and
driving instructions are out of date. Here are updated
driving directions.
If you need information on public transportation , you may want to check
the New Jersey Transit
page for information on fares and schedules for the Northeast Corridor Line.
Taxis are available at
the New Brunswick train station (fare about $7) and can take you to and from
the Hill Center (Victory Cabs, (732) 545-6666). The
Rutgers Campus Bus System
provides free inter-campus transportation, with the A and H buses
taking passengers between Busch Campus and College Avenue, with the A
providing a faster ride from College Avenue and the H providing
a faster ride from the Hill Center : please visit their website for bus
schedules and maps, including real-time tracking of campus buses.
Unfortunately, colloquium cancellations do occur from time to time.
Please feel free to call our department (732)-445-3921 before embarking on your journey.
"The complex Monge-Amp`ere equation and geodesics"
Time: 4:00 PM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: We discuss recent progresses on the Dirichlet problem
for the complex Monge-Amp`ere equation on K"ahler manifolds,
motivated by the problem of constructing geodesics in
the infinite-dimensional space of K"ahler potentials
in a given Chern class. This problem is itself motivated
by the problem of finding metrics of constant scalar curvature,
the existence of which has been conjectured by Donaldson
to a notion of stability where geodesic rays play the role
of one-parameter subgroups.
