The Seminar

The "Joint Seminar on Complex Algebraic Geometry and Complex Analysis" is a research seminar, organised by the algebraic and complex geometry research groups in Bochum, Essen, Cologne, Münster, and Wuppertal. The seminar meets roughly twice per semester for a full day at one of the participating departments. There are three talks per meeting, both by invited guests and by speakers from the organising universities. We aim to leave ample room for discussions.

The talks are open for everyone. Contact one of the organisers if you are interested in attending the meeting. We have some funds that might help to support travel for some junior participants.

Meetings of the seminar are partially supported by the DFG via

• GRK 2553 "Symmetries and Classifying Spaces - analytic, arithmetic, and derived" (Essen)
• SFB/TR 191 "Symplectic structures in geometry, algebra and dynamics" (Bochum-Cologne-Heidelberg)
• ANR-DFG-Projekt QuaSiDy - "Quantization, Singularities, and Holomorphic Dynamics"

Next Meeting

DATE AND PLACE

The next meeting will take place on Friday, May 27th, 2022 for the first time at WWU Münster (on-site).

TALKS

• Markus Banagl (Heidelberg): Transfer Homomorphisms and Orientation Classes for Singular Spaces
  
  Abstract:
  We will discuss the behavior of various orientation and characteristic classes of singular spaces under transfer maps associated to normally nonsingular maps. Two cases arise: Gysin restrictions under embeddings and Becker-Gottlieb type transfers for bundles. In this talk, we will place the emphasis on the latter. The classes considered include topological invariants such as fundamental classes in bordism of singular spaces, in Ranicki's L-homology and Goresky-MacPherson-Cheeger L-classes in rational homology, as well as algebraic classes defined by Brasselet, Schürmann and Yokura. Applications include uniqueness results, obtained jointly with D. Wrazidlo, on L-type characteristic classes for algebraic subvarieties of Grassmannians, e.g. Schubert varieties.



• Francesco Bei (Sapienza): On weak Kähler hyperbolic manifolds and geometric applications
  
  Abstract:
  Kähler hyperbolic manifolds were introduced by Gromov around thirty years ago. In his seminal paper he showed that this class of Kähler manifolds enjoys several remarkable properties: for instance they are of general type, Kobayashi hyperbolic and their $L^2$-Hodge numbers $h^{p,q}_{(2)}$ are positive if and only if $p = q$. In this talk I will report about a recent joint work with S. Diverio, P. Eyssidieux and S. Trapani where we introduced some weak versions of Kähler hyperbolicity. I will show how some of the properties proved by Gromov for Kähler hyperbolic manifolds remain true in our more general setting and I will explain various geometric applications. In particular I will describe how these ideas allow to verify some aspects of the Lang conjecture for Kähler hyperbolic manifolds.



• Nicolina Istrati (Marburg): On the Bott-Chern Cohomology of Vaisman manifolds
  
  Abstract:
  Vaisman manifolds are complex manifolds which can be endowed with a special type of a Hermitian structure, namely a locally conformally Kähler metric with parallel Lee form. Typical examples are given by holomorphic principal torus bundles over a projective manifold with prescribed characteristic class. More generally, the geometry of Vaisman manifolds is closely related to Kählerian geometry, as these manifolds always come endowed with a natural transversally Kähler foliation. However, Vaisman manifolds do not satisfy the $dd^c$-lemma, therefore it is interesting to study their Bott-Chern cohomology, which is then a refined invariant. In this talk, I will explain how one can express this cohomology in terms of the basic cohomology with respect to the foliation, and in particular show that the numerical obstructions to the $dd^c$-lemma can be arbitrarily high. This is based on joint work with Alexandra Otiman.
