A Guide to the Classification Theorem for Compact Surfaces

Math 131 092116 Properties of Compact Sets

Properties of compact sets. Compact implies closed; closed subsets of compact sets are compact; collections of compact sets that satisfy the finite intersection property have a nonempty intersection; infinite subsets of compact sets must have a limit point; the infinite intersection of ne

Complex surfaces 1: Introduction

This talk is part of a series giving an informal survey of complex algebraic surfaces. We give an overview of the Enriques-Kodaira classification, with examples of most of the different types of surfaces. We conclude by giving an example of a non-algebraic surface: the Hopf surface. Furth

The notion of a Poisson manifold originated in mathematical physics, where it is used to describe the equations of motion of classical mechanical systems, but it is nowadays connected with many different parts of mathematics. A key feature of any Poisson manifold is that it carries a cano

The Computational Complexity of Geometric Topology Problems - Greg Kuperberg

Greg Kuperberg University of California, Davis September 24, 2012 This talk will be a partial survey of the first questions in the complexity theory of geometric topology problems. What is the complexity, or what are known complexity bounds, for distinguishing n-manifolds for various n? Fo

Complex surfaces 4: Ruled surfaces

This talk gives an informal survey of ruled surfaces and their role in the Enriques classification. We give a few examples of ruled surfaces, summarize the basic invariants of surfaces, and sketch how one classifies the surfaces of Kodaira dimension minus infinity.

Antoine Song - Spherical Plateau problem and applications

I will discuss an area minimization problem in certain quotients of the Hilbert sphere by countable groups. An early version of that setting appears in Besson-Courtois-Gallot’s work on the entropy inequality. As an application of this minimization problem, we obtain some stability results.

Y. Lai - A family of 3d steady gradient Ricci solitons that are flying wings

We find a family of 3d steady gradient Ricci solitons that are flying wings. This verifies a conjecture by Hamilton. For a 3d flying wing, we show that the scalar curvature does not vanish at infinity. The 3d flying wings are collapsed. For dimension n ≥ 4, we find a family of Z2 × O(n − 1
