An ICTP meeting organised in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute.

The aim of this conference is to fuel the interaction between researchers in different aspects of Real and Complex Differential Geometry. To this end, the meeting will include wide-ranging talks and more focused seminars by experienced specialist and young researchers, integrated by informal discussions and problem sessions.

In recent years, we have witnessed striking new developments in Differential and Complex Geometry, while some fundamental questions remain still open. These fields are evolving rapidly as indicated by the recent
breakthroughs on Poincare' conjecture and the existence of Kaehler-Einstein metrics on Fano varieties. One of the themes of this international conference is the search for special Hermitian metrics especially motivated by problems in Geometry and Topology and by Theoretical Physics models. The existence problem for constant scalar curvature metrics, the existence of holomorphic structures on the six-dimensional sphere, the complete classification of compact complex surfaces in class VII, and the classification of gravitational instantons are just a few examples of problems of current interest.

TOPICS:
  • Special Hermitian metrics
  • Gravitational instantons and metrics of constant scalar curvature
  • 4-dimensional geometry and topology
  • Almost-complex and symplectic structures
  • Geometric flows techniques
