4.30 Hans - Joachim Hein (Imperial College)

"Asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau manifolds" Abstract: I will discuss complete noncompact Ricci-flat Kähler manifolds that are asymptotic to cylinders at infinity. The main result roughly states that every such space can be written as a compact projective algebraic variety minus an effective anticanonical divisor with trivial normal bundle. The converse statement holds as well. Joint work with Mark Haskins and Johannes Nordstroem (not to be mistaken with previous speaker).

There will be an early evening meal in Durham, for all who are able to stay.

Travel: Durham is easy to get to by car and train. Click here for relevant information.

A taxi from Durham station takes about 10 minutes and costs about 6 quid. If you intend to come to this meeting, please inform one of the Durham organisers, who will arrange for lunch to be available in the Common Room of the Department If you intend to drive to Durham, please inform one of the Durham organisers, who will arrange for a car parking permit for you.

Yorkshire and Durham Geometry Days are jointly organised by the Universities of Durham, Leeds and York, and occur at a frequency of four meetings per academic year. Financial support is provided by the London Mathematical Society through a Scheme 3 grant, currently administered by the University of York. A record of previous meetings may be found here.
