" A Newlander-Nirenberg type theorem with parameter"

Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: We will consider a version of Newlander-Nirenberg theorem with parameter on planar domains. This will also leads to an integro-differential equation with a boundary value condition. We will discuss boundary regularity of the solution of the equation.

"A sampling theorem on Riemannian manifolds"

Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: Notions of Paley-Wiener functions and Variational Lagrangian splines introduced on Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. Analogs of the Paley-Wiener theorem and Plancherel-Polya inequalities are proved. It is also shown that Paley-Wiener functions on manifolds are uniquely determined by their values on sufficiently dense discrete sets of points. The main result of the paper is a formula for reconstruction of Paley-Wiener functions from their values on discrete sets using Variational Lagrangian splines.

"Stability of nodal curve"

Time: 10:30 AM

"An application of arithmetic dynamics to complex dynamics"

Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: In this talk, we will reformulate the dynamical Manin-Mumford conjecture for algebraically polarized complex dynamical systems. A result necessary for the formulation is proved using an arithmetic method. We reduce the problem to number fields, and apply the equidistribution of algebraic points of small heights over algebraic dynamics over number fields. It is a joint work with Shou-wu Zhang.

" Function Model of the Teichmuller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann Surface"

Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a function model for the Teichmuller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann surface. On this model of a Teichmuller space, we have a new metric by using the maximum norm on the function space. The identity map from the Teichmuller space equipped with the usual Teichmuller metric to the Teichmuller space equipped with this new metric is uniformly continuous. Furthermore, the inverse of the identity, that is, the identity map from the Teichm"uller space equipped with this new metric to the Teichm"uller space equipped with the usual Teichmuller metric, is continuous. Therefore, the topology induced by the new metric is just the same as the topology induced by the usual Teichmuller metric on the Teichmuller space. I will give a remark about the new metric, the pressure metric, and the Weil-Petersson metric.

"Greatest lower bounds on Ricci curvature for toric Fano manifolds"

Location: Hill 705
Abstract: In this talk, we determine the greatest lower bounds on Ricci curvature for all toric Fano manifolds, based on the work of Wang-Zhu.

"Inequalities for (0,q) forms on CR manifolds of finite type"

Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: Recently Bourgain-Brezis and Lanzani-Stein proved the following $L^1$ Sobolev inequality for differential forms on $mathbb{R}^n$: If $u$ is a smooth compactly supported $q$ form on $mathbb{R}^n$ and $q ne 1$ nor $n-1$, then $$|u|_{L^{frac{n}{n-1}}(mathbb{R}^n)} lesssim |du|_{L^1(mathbb{R}^n)} + |d^* u|_{L^1(mathbb{R}^n)}. $$ I shall discuss an analogue of this result for the $overline{partial}_b$ complex on CR manifolds of finite commutator type. The main innovation here is a new kind of $L^1$ duality inequality for vector fields that satisfy Hormander's condition. An analogous inequality for homogenous groups was previously established by Chanillo and van Schaftingen.

" Foliations on quasi-Fuchsian manifolds"

Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: We use the volume preserving mean curvature flow to show the existence (uniqueness) of a foliation of incompressible CMC surfaces in a class of quasi-Fuchsian hyperbolic three manifolds. Applications include the existence and uniqueness of the minimal surface.

" Infinite type germs of smooth hypersurfaces in $mathbb C^n$"

Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: In this joint paper with John Erik Fornaess and Lina Lee, we discuss germs of smooth hypersurface in $mathbb C^n$. We show that if a point on the boundary has infinite D'Angelo type, then there exists a formal complex curve in the hypersurface through that point.
