Seminars for the week of January 26, 2009

Colloquium

Thursday, 3:20, in VinH 16

Professor Szu-yu Sophie Chen
of Institute for Advanced Study
will speak on
"Asymptotically flat manifolds and elliptic systems"

We study curvature decays on asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) manifolds. These manifolds are motivated by gravitational instantons in physics. The problem is related to study a global behavior of solutions to elliptic systems of reaction-diffusion type. In particular, we obtain that scalar flat Kahler ALE metrics are of order $n-2$. This decay is optimal and is realized on complex line bundles over $CP^m$.
