"Hyperbolicity of some moduli spaces of polarized manifolds"
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: In this talk, we would explain some joint work with Wing-Keung To on hyperbolicity of moduli spaces of polarized algebraic manifolds, including families or moduli spaces of Kaehler-Einstein manifolds of negative scalar curvature or trivial scalar curvature, and some log-general type manifolds for quasi-projective versions. Classically, results on moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus at least two have been obtained by Ahlfors, Royden and Wolpert with Weil-Petersson metric. Study of moduli of higher dimensional manifolds in terms of Weil-Petersson metrics began with a work of Siu thirty years ago. Eventually, we construct a negatively curved Finsler metric on such moduli from which results in hyperbolicity follow naturally. We also apply the related techniques to study questions related to a conjecture of Viehweg.
