The Seminar

The "Joint Seminar on Complex Algebraic Geometry and Complex Analysis" is a research seminar, run by the algebraic and complex geometry research groups in Bochum, Essen, Cologne, Münster, and Wuppertal since 2013. 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

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

DATE AND PLACE

The next meeting will take place on Friday, December 6th, 2024 at Universität Duisburg-Essen.

• Siarhei Finski (École Polytechnique): Holomorphic Morse Inequalities, Harder-Narasimhan Filtrations and Yang-Mills Functionals
  
  Abstract:
  Holomorphic Morse Inequalities provide upper bounds on the dimension of the cohomology of high tensor powers of a holomorphic line bundle in terms of the volumes of the index sets of closed (1, 1)-forms in the bundle's first Chern class. Motivated by the search for the converse to the Andreotti-Grauert theorem, Demailly conjectured in 2010 that these bounds are sharp in the sense that for any holomorphic line bundle one can cook up a closed (1, 1)-form in its first Chern class so that the volumes of its index sets approximate accurately the dimension of the cohomology groups. We establish this conjecture in a fibered setting by making a relation between the volumes of the index sets with Yang-Mills functionals and the so-called Wess-Zumino-Witten equation studied previously in the context of Mabuchi geometry. The study of Harder-Narasimhan Filtrations of direct image sheaves plays a crucial role in our approach.



• Alice Garbagnati (Milano): Singular symplectic surfaces
  
  Abstract:
  There are several possible generalizations of the definition of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold to the singular context (primitive symplectic variety, irreducible symplectic orbifold, irreducible symplectic variety). We review these definitions and we consider them in the lowest dimensional case, i.e. the case of the surfaces. We classify the surfaces which satisfy these definitions, showing that all of them are contractions of rational curves on K3 surfaces, but that not all the possible contractions of rational curves on K3 surfaces satisfy all these definitions. Then we consider the Hilbert scheme of points of the singular surfaces considered, and we show that in some specific cases they are irreducible symplectic orbifolds. The talk is based on a joint work with M. Penegini and A. Perego.
