DESCRIPTION:Title: Abelian almost contact structures and connections with skew-sym
metric torsion\nby Adrian Andrada (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba) a
s part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nAbelian complex str
uctures on Lie groups have proved to be very useful in several areas of di
fferential and complex geometry. In particular\, an abelian hypercomplex s
tructure on a Lie group G (that is\, a pair of anticommuting abelian compl
ex structures)\, together with a compatible inner product\, gives rise to
an invariant hyperKähler with torsion (HKT) structure on G. This means th
at G admits a (unique) metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion (call
ed the Bismut connection) which parallelizes the hypercomplex structure. \
nIn this talk we move to the odd-dimensional case and we introduce the not
ion of abelian almost contact structures on Lie groups. We study their pro
perties and their relations with compatible metrics. Next we consider almo
st 3-contact Lie groups where each almost contact structure is abelian. We
study their main properties and we give their classification in dimension
7. After adding compatible Riemannian metrics\, we study the existence of
a certain type of metric connections with skew symmetric torsion\, introd
uced recently by Agricola and Dileo and called canonical connections. We p
rovide examples of such groups in each dimension 4n+3 and show that they a
dmit co-compact discrete subgroups\, which give rise to compact almost 3-c
ontact metric manifolds equipped with canonical connections.\n\nTo partici

DESCRIPTION:Title: Systolic inequalities for minimal projective planes in Riemanni
an projective spaces\nby Lucas Ambrozio (University of Warwick) as par
t of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nThe word "systole" is co
mmonly used in Geometry to denote the infimum of the length of homotopica
lly non-trivial loops in a compact Riemmanian manifold M. In a generalised
sense\, we may use it also to refer to the infimum of the k-dimensional v
olume of a class of k-dimensional submanifolds that represent some non-tri
vial topology of M. In this talk\, we will discuss some inequalities compa
ring the systole to other geometric invariants\, e.g. the total volume of
M. After reviewing in details the celebrated inequality of Pu regarding th
e systole of Riemannian projective planes\, we will discuss its generalisa
tions to higher dimensions. This is joint work with Rafael Montezuma.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Uniform measures of dimension 1\nby Mircea Petrache (Pontif
icia Universidad Católica de Chile) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /Am
Sul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn his fundamental 1987 paper on the geometry of measur
es\, Preiss posed the problem of classifying uniform measures in d-dimensi
onal Euclidean space\, a question at the interface of measure theory and d
ifferential geometry.\n\n A uniform measure is a positive measure such th
at for all $r>0$\, all balls of radius $r$ with center in the support of t
he measure\, are given equal masses.\n It was proved by Kirchheim-Preiss t
hat a uniform measure in $\\mathbb{R}^d$ is a multiple of the k-dimensiona
l Hausdorff measure restricted to a k-dimensional analytic variety. This e
stablishes the link to differential geometry. An important class of unifor
m measures are G-invariant measures\, for G any subgroup of isometries of
Euclidean space. These are called homogeneous measures. Intriguing example
s of non-homogeneous uniform measures do exist (the surface area of the 3D
cone $x^2=y^2+w^2+z^2$ in $\\mathbb{R}^4$ is one)\, but they are not well
understood\, making Preiss' classification question is still widely open.
\n\n After a historical survey\, I will describe a recent joint paper with
Paul Laurain\, about uniform measures of dimension 1 in d-dimensional Euc
lidean space: we prove by a direct approach that these are all given by at
most countable unions of congruent helices or of congruent toric knots. I
n particular\, 1-dimensional uniform measures with connected support are h
omogeneous.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: (Purely) coclosed G$_2$-structures on 2-step nilmanifolds\n
by Viviana del Barco (Université Paris-Sud) as part of Geometry Webinar A
mSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn Riemannian geometry\, simply connected nilpo
tent Lie groups endowed with left-invariant metrics\, and their compact qu
otients\, have been the source of valuable examples in the field. This m
otivated several authors to study\, in particular\, left-invariant G$_2$-
structures on 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups. These structures could a
lso be induced to the associated compact quotients\, also known as {\\em n
ilmanifolds}.\n\nLeft-invariant torsion free G$_2$-structures\, that is\,
defined by a simultaneously closed and coclosed positive $3$-form\, do not
exist on nilpotent Lie groups. But relaxations of this condition have bee
n the subject of study on nilmanifolds lately. One of them are coclosed G$
_2$-structures\, for which the defining $3$-form verifies $d \\star_{\\var
phi}\\varphi=0$\, and more specifically\, purely coclosed structures\, wh
ich are defined as those which are coclosed and satisfy $\\varphi\\wedge d
\\varphi=0$. \n\nIn this talk\, there will be presented recent classifica
tion results regarding left-invariant coclosed and purely coclosed G$_2$-
structures on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. Our techniques exploit the corr
espondence between left-invariant tensors on the Lie group and their linea
r analogues at the Lie algebra level.\nIn particular\, left-invariant G$_2
$-structures on a Lie group will be seen as alternating trilinear forms de
fined on the Lie algebra. The coclosed condition now refers to the Cheval
ley-Eilenberg differential of the Lie algebra.\nWe also rely on the partic
ular Lie algebraic structure of metric 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras.\n\nO
ur goals are twofold. On the one hand we give the isomorphism classes of 2
-step nilpotent Lie algebras admitting purely coclosed G$_2$-structures. T
he analogous result for coclosed structures was obtained by Bagaglini\, Fe
rn\\'andez and Fino [Forum Math. 2018]. \n\nOn the other hand\, we focus o
n the question of {\\em which metrics} on these Lie algebras can be induce
d by a coclosed or purely coclosed structure. We show that any left-invar
iant metric is induced by a coclosed structure\, whereas every Lie algebra
admitting purely coclosed structures admits metrics which are not induced
by any such a structure. In the way of proving these results we obtain a
method to construct purely coclosed G$_2$-structures. As a consequence\, w
e obtain new examples of compact nilmanifolds carrying purely coclosed G$
_2$-structures.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Gap theorems for free-boundary submanifolds\nby Marcos Petr
ucio Cavalcante (Universidade Federal de Alagoas) as part of Geometry Webi
nar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $M^n$ be a compact $n$-dimensional man
ifold minimally immersed in a unit sphere $S^{n+k}$ and let denote by $|A|
^2$ the squared norm of its second fundamental form. It follows from the f
amous Simons pinching theorem that if $|A|^2\\leq \\frac{n}{2-\\frac{1}{k}
}$\, then either $|A|^2=0$ or $|A|^2=\\frac{n}{2-\\frac{1}{k}}$. The subma
nifolds on which $|A|^2=\\frac{n}{2-\\frac{1}{k}}$ were characterized by L
awson (when $k=1$) and by Chern-do Carmo-Kobayashi (for any $k$). \n\nThes
e important results say that there exists a gap in the space of minimal su
bmanifolds in $S^{n+k}$ in terms of the length of their second fundamental
forms and their dimensions. \n\nLatter\, Lawson and Simons proved a topol
ogical gap result without making any assumption on the mean curvature of t
he submanifold. Namely\, they proved that if $M^n$ is a compact submanifol
d in $S^{n+k}$ such that $|A|^2\\leq \\min\\{p(n-p)\, 2\\sqrt{p(n-p)}\\}$\
, then for any finitely generated Abelian group $G$\, $H_p(M\;G)=0$. In pa
rticular\, if $|A|^2< \\min\\{n-1\, 2\\sqrt{n-1}\\}$\, then $M$ is a homot
opy sphere. \n\nIt is well known that free-boundary minimal submanifolds i
n the unit ball share similar properties as compact minimal submanifolds i
n the round sphere. For instance\, Ambrozio and Nunes obtained a geometric
gap type theorem for free-boundary minimal surfaces $M$ in the Euclidean
unit $3$-ball $B^3$. They proved that if $|A|^2(x)\\langle x\, N(x)\\rangl
e^2\\leq 2$\, where $N(x)$ is the unit normal vector at $x\\in M$\, then
$M$ is either the equatorial disk or the critical catenoid. \n\nIn the fir
st part of this talk\, I will present a generalization of Ambrozio and Nun
es theorem for constant mean curvature surfaces. Precisely\, if the tracel
ess second fundamental form $\\phi$ of a free-boundary CMC surface $B^3$ s
atisfies $|\\phi|^2(x)\\langle x\, N(x)\\rangle^2\\leq (2+H\\langle x\, N
(x)\\rangle )^2/2$ then $M$ is either a spherical cap or a portion of a De
launay surface. This is joint work with Barbosa and Pereira.\n\nIn the sec
ond part\, I will present a topological gap theorem for free-boundary subm
anifolds in the unit ball. More precisely\, if $|\\phi|^2\\leq \\frac{np}{
n-p}$\, then the $p$-th cohomology group of $M$ with real coefficients van
ishes. In particular\, if $|\\phi|^2\\leq \\frac{n}{n-1}$\, then $M$ has o
nly one boundary component. This is joint work with Mendes and Vitório.\n

diameter and tensor bounds\nby Raquel Perales (Unam) as part of Geomet
ry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nBased on join work with Allen-Sorma
ni and Cabrera Pacheco-Ketterer. Given a Riemannian manifold $M$ and a pai
r of Riemannian tensors $g_0 \\leq g_j$ on $M$ it follows that $vol(M)\\l
eq vol_j(M)$. Furthermore\, the volumes are equal if and only if $g_0=g_j
$.\n\nIn this talk I will show that for a sequence of Riemannian metrics $
g_j$ defined on $M$ that satisfy \n$g_0\\leq g_j$\, $diam (M_j) \\leq D$ a
nd $vol(M_j)\\to vol(M_0)$ then $(M\,g_j)$ converge to $(M\,g_0)$ in the v
olume preserving intrinsic flat sense. I will present examples demonstrat
ing that under these conditions we do not necessarily obtain smooth\, $C^0

DESCRIPTION:Title: The asymptotic geometry of G$_2$-monopoles\nby Daniel Fade
l (Universidade Federal Fluminense) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmS
ul\n\n\nAbstract\nG$_2$-geometry is a very rich and vast subject in Differ
ential Geometry which has been seeing a \nlot of progress in the last two
decades. There are by now very powerful methods that produce millions of e
xamples of G$_2$ holonomy metrics on the compact setting\n and infinitely
many on the non-compact setting. Besides these fruitful advances\, at pres
ent\, there is no systematic understanding of these metrics. In fact\, a v
ery\n important problem in G$_2$-geometry is to develop methods to disting
uish G$_2$-manifolds. One approach intended at producing invariants of G$_
2$-manifolds is by means\n of higher dimensional gauge theory. G$_2$-monop
oles are solutions to a first order nonlinear PDE for pairs consisting of
a connection on a principal bundle over \na noncompact G$_2$-manifold and
a section of the associated adjoint bundle. They arise as the dimensional
reduction of the higher dimensional Spin$(7)$-instanton\n equation\, and a
re special critical points of an intermediate energy functional related to
the Yang-Mills-Higgs energy.\n\nDonaldson-Segal (2009) suggested that one
possible approach to produce an enumerative invariant of (noncompact) G$_
2$-manifolds is by considering a ``count" of G$_2$-monopoles\n and this sh
ould be related to conjectural invariants ``counting" rigid coassociate (c
odimension 3 and calibrated) cycles. Oliveira (2014) started the study of
G$_2$-monopoles\n providing the first concrete non-trivial examples and gi
ving evidence supporting the Donaldson-Segal program by finding families o
f G$_2$-monopoles parametrized by a\n positive real number\, called the ma
ss\, which in the limit when such parameter goes to infinity concentrate a
long a compact coassociative submanifold. In this talk I \nwill explain so
me recent results\, obtained in collaboration with Ákos Nagy and Gonçalo
Oliveira\, which show that the asymptotic behavior satisfied by the examp
les \nare in fact general phenomena which follows from natural assumptions
such as the finiteness of the intermediate energy. This is a very much ne
eded development in \norder to produce a satisfactory moduli theory and ma
king progress towards a rigorous definition of the putative invariant. Tim
e permitting\, I will mention some \ninteresting open problems and possibl
e future directions in this theory.\n

Abstract\nA Hermitian metric on a complex manifold is balanced if its fund
amental form is co-closed. An important tool for the study of balanced man
ifolds is the Hull-Strominger system. \nIn the talk I will review so
me general results about balanced metrics and present new smooth solu

torus bundles over K3 surfaces can be generalized to torus bundles over K
3 orbifolds. The talk is based on a joint work with G. Grantcharov and L

DESCRIPTION:Title: Fundamentals of Lie theory for groupoids and algebroids\nb
y María Amelia Salazar (Universidade Federal Fluminense) as part of Geome
try Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nThe foundation of Lie theory is Li
e's three theorems that provide a construction of the Lie algebra associat
ed to any Lie group\; the converses of Lie's theorems provide an integrati
on\, i.e. a mechanism for constructing a Lie group out of a Lie algebra. T
he Lie theory for groupoids and algebroids has many analogous results to t
hose for Lie groups and Lie algebras\, however\, it differs in important r
espects: one of these aspects is that there are Lie algebroids which do no
t admit any integration by a Lie groupoid. In joint work with Cabrera and
Marcut\, we showed that the non-integrability issue can be overcome by con
sidering local Lie groupoids instead. In this talk I will explain a constr
uction of a local Lie groupoid integrating a given Lie algebroid and I wil
l point out the similarities with the classical theory for Lie groups and
Lie algebras.\n

\nIn 1987\, Yau posed the question of whether all minimal 2-spheres in a 3
-dimensional ellipsoid inside $\\mathbb{R}^4$ are planar\, i.e.\, determin
ed by the intersection with a hyperplane. While this is the case if the el
lipsoid is nearly round\, Haslhofer and Ketover have recently shown the ex
istence of an embedded non-planar minimal 2-sphere in sufficiently elongat
ed ellipsoids\, with min-max methods. Using bifurcation theory and the sym
metries that arise in the case where at least two semi-axes coincide\, we
show the existence of arbitrarily many distinct embedded non-planar minima
l 2-spheres in sufficiently elongated ellipsoids of revolution. This is ba
sed on joint work with R. G. Bettiol..\n

manifold with vanishing first Aeppli-Chern class\, does there exist a smoo
th Levi-Civita Ricci-flat Hermitian metric? In general\, it is particularl

\n\n\nAbstract\nA $G_2$-structure with free divergence torsion can be inte

sometric class. Hence\, it represents the better $G_2$-structure in a give
n family. These kinds of $G_2$-structures are an alternative for the study
of $G_2$-geometry\, in cases when the torsion free problem is either triv
ial or obstructed. In general\, there are some known classes of $G_2$-stru
ctures with free-divergence torsion\, namely closed and nearly parallel $G

ch the machinery of weak maximum principles is valid. The latter is one of
the main tools we apply to derive several new characterizations and rigid

for instance\, in Euclidean space. Besides\, as in Euclidean space\, MCFS
are also stationary immersions for a weighted volume functional. Under th
is point of view\, we are able to find geometric conditions for finiteness
of the index and some characterizations of stable solitons. \n\nThe resul

metric is a Riemannian metric g on a manifold such that all of its geodes
ics are periodic and have the same finite fundamental period. In particula
r\, (M\,g) is a compact manifold such that each tangent one-dimensional su
bspace of each one of its points is tangent to some closed geodesic. Since
periodic geodesics are not only periodic orbits of a flow\, but also clos
ed curves that are critical points of the length functional\, the notion o
f Zoll metrics admits natural generalisations in the context of minimal su
bmanifold theory\, that is\, the theory of critical points of the area fun
ctional. In this talk\, based on joint work with F. Codá (Princeton) and
A. Neves (UChicago)\, I will discuss why these new\, generalised notions s
eem relevant to me beyond its obvious geometric appeal\, and discuss two d

iew joint work with J. Jordan and J. Streets\, in arXiv:2106.13716\, about
Hermitian\, pluriclosed metrics with vanishing Bismut-Ricci form. These m
etrics give a natural extension of Calabi-Yau metrics to the setting of co
mplex\, non-Kählermanifolds\, and arise independently in mathematical phy
sics. We reinterpret this condition in terms of the Hermitian-Einstein equ
ation on an associated holomorphic Courant algebroid\, and thus refer to s
olutions as Bismut Hermitian-Einstein. This implies Mumford-Takemoto slope
stability obstructions\, and using these we exhibit infinitely many topol
ogically distinct complex manifolds in every dimension with vanishing firs
t Chern class which do not admit Bismut Hermitian-Einstein metrics. This r

DESCRIPTION:Title: Existence of free boundary constant mean curvature disks\n
by Da Rong Cheng (University of Miami) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /
AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven a surface S in R3\, a classical problem is to f
ind disk-type surfaces with prescribed constant mean curvature whose bound
ary meets S orthogonally. When S is diffeomorphic to a sphere\, direct min
imization could lead to trivial solutions and hence min-max constructions
are needed. Among the earliest such constructions is the work of Struwe\,
who produced the desired free boundary CMC disks for almost every mean cur
vature value up to that of the smallest round sphere enclosing S. In a pre
vious joint work with Xin Zhou (Cornell)\, we combined Struwe's method wit
h other techniques to obtain an analogous result for CMC 2-spheres in Riem
annian 3-spheres and were able to remove the "almost every" restriction in
the presence of positive ambient curvature. In this talk\, I will report
on more recent progress where the ideas in that work are applied back to t
he free boundary problem to refine and improve Struwe's result.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Complex structures on $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras\nby
Maria Laura Barberis (UNC) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nA
bstract\nThere is a notion of nilpotent complex structures on nilpotent Li
e algebras introduced by Cordero-Fernández-Gray-Ugarte (2000). Not every
complex structure on a nilpotent Lie algebra $\\mathfrak{n}$ is nilpotent\
, but when $\\mathfrak{n}$ is $2$-step nilpotent any complex structure on
$\\mathfrak{n}$ is nilpotent of step either $2$ or $3$ (a fact proved by
J. Zhang in 2022). The class of nilpotent complex structures of step $2$ s
trictly contains the space of abelian and bi-invariant complex structures
on a $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebra. In this work in progress\, we obtain
a characterization of the $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras whose correspond
ing Lie groups admit a left invariant complex structure. We consider separ
ately the cases when the complex structure is nilpotent of step $2$ or $3$
. Some applications of our results to Hermitian geometry are discussed\, f
or instance\, it turns out that the $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras constr
ucted by Tamaru from Hermitian symmetric spaces admit pluriclosed (or SKT)
metrics. We also show that abelian complex structures are frequent on nat
urally reductive $2$-step nilmanifolds\, while it is known (Del Barco-Moro
ianu) that these do not admit orthogonal bi-invariant complex structures.\

arlos Olmos (UNC) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\n
A Hopf-Berger sphere of factor $\\tau$ is a sphere which is the total spa
ce of a Hopf fibration and such that the Riemannian metric is rescaled by
a factor $\\tau\\neq 1$ in the directions of the fibers. A Hopf-Berger sph
ere is the usual {\\it Berger sphere} for the complex Hopf fibration. A H
opf-Berger sphere may be regarded as a geodesic sphere $\\mathsf{S}_t^m(o)
\\subset\\bar M$ of radius $t$ of a rank one symmetric space of non-consta
nt curvature ($\\bar M$ is compact if and only if $\\tau <1$). A Hopf-Ber
ger sphere has positive curvature if and only if $\\tau <4/3$. A standard
totally geodesic submanifold of $\\mathsf{S}_t^m(o)$ is obtained as the in
tersection of the geodesic sphere with a totally geodesic submanifold of $
\\bar M$. We will speak about the classification of totally geodesic subm
anifolds of Hopf-Berger spheres. In particular\, for quaternionic and oc
tonionic fibrations\, non-standard totally geodesic spheres with the same
dimension of the fiber appear\, for $\\tau <1/2$. Moreover\, there are to
tally geodesic $\\mathbb RP^2$\, and $\\mathbb RP^3$ (with some restricti
ons on $\\tau$\, the dimension and the type of the fibration). On the on
e hand\, as a consequence of the connectedness principle of Wilking\, the
re does not exist a totally geodesic $\\mathbb RP^4$ in a space of posi
tive curvature which diffeomorphic to the sphere $S^7$. On the other han
d\, we construct an example of a totally geodesic $\\mathbb RP^2$ in a Hop
f-Berger sphere of dimension $7$ and positive curvature. Natural question:
could there exist a totally geodesic $\\mathbb RP^3$ in a space of positi
ve curvature which diffeomorphic to $S^7$?.\n\nThis talk is related to a

DESCRIPTION:Title: On the harmonic flow of geometric structures\nby Daniel Fa
del (IMPA) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this
talk\, I will report on recent results of an ongoing collaboration with
Éric Loubeau\, Andrés Moreno and Henrique Sá Earp on the study of the h
armonic flow of $H$-structures. This is the negative gradient flow of a na
tural Dirichlet-type energy functional on an isometric class of $H$-struct
ures on a closed Riemannian $n$-manifold\, where $H$ is the stabilizer in
$\\mathrm{SO}(n)$ of a finite collection of tensors in $\\mathbb{R}^n$. Us
ing general Bianchi-type identities of $H$-structures\, we are able to pro
ve monotonicity formulas for scale-invariant local versions of the energy\
, similar to the classic formulas proved by Struwe and Chen (1988-89) in t
he theory of harmonic map heat flow. We then deduce a general epsilon-regu
larity result along the harmonic flow and\, more importantly\, we get long
-time existence and finite-time singularity results in parallel to the cla
ssical results proved by Chen-Ding (1990) in harmonic map theory. In parti
cular\, we show that if the energy of the initial $H$-structure is small e
nough\, depending on the $C^0$-norm of its torsion\, then the harmonic flo
w exists for all time and converges to a torsion-free $H$-structure. Moreo
ver\, we prove that the harmonic flow of $H$-structures develops a finite
time singularity if the initial energy is sufficiently small but there is
no torsion-free $H$-structure in the homotopy class of the initial $H$-str
ucture. Finally\, based on the analogous work of He-Li (2021) for almost c
omplex structures\, we give a general construction of examples where the l
ater finite-time singularity result applies on the flat $n$-torus\, provid
ed the $n$-th homotopy group of the quotient $\\mathrm{SO}(n)/H$ is non-tr

DESCRIPTION:Title: Weyl structures with special holonomy on compact conformal man
ifolds\nby Andrei Moroianu (Paris-Saclay/CNRS) as part of Geometry Web
inar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nWe consider compact conformal manifolds $
(M\,[g])$ endowed with a closed Weyl structure $\\nabla$\, i.e. a torsion-
free connection preserving the conformal structure\, which is locally but
not globally the Levi-Civita connection of a metric in $[g]$. Our aim is t
o classify all such structures when both $\\nabla$ and $\\nabla^g$\, the L
evi-Civita connection of $g$\, have special holonomy. In such a setting\,
$(M\,[g]\,\\nabla)$ is either flat\, or irreducible\, or carries a locally
conformally product (LCP) structure.\nSince the flat case is already comp
letely classified\, we focus on the last two cases.\nWhen $\\nabla$ has ir
reducible holonomy we prove that $(M\,g)$ is either Vaisman\, or a mapping
torus of an isometry of a compact nearly Kähler or nearly parallel $\\ma
thrm{G}_2$ manifold\, while in the LCP case we prove that $g$ is neither K
ähler nor Einstein\, thus reducible by the Berger-Simons Theorem\, and we
obtain the local classification of such structures in terms of adapted me
trics. This is joint work with Florin Belgun and Brice Flamencourt.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Compactness of singular solutions to the GJMS equation\nby
João Henrique Santos de Andrade (USP) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur
/AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nWe study some compactness properties of the set of c
onformally flat singular metrics with constant positive $Q$-curvature (int
eger or fractional) on a finitely punctured sphere.\nBased on some recent
classification results\, we focus on some cases of integer $Q$-curvature.
We introduce a notion of necksize for these metrics in our moduli space\,
which we use to characterize compactness. More precisely\, we prove that i
f the punctures remain separated and the necksize at each puncture is boun
ded away from zero along a sequence of metrics\, then a subsequence conver
ges with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. Our proof relies on an up
per bound estimate which is proved using moving planes and a blow-up argum
ent. This is combined with a lower bound estimate which is a consequence o
f a removable singularity theorem. We also introduce a homological invaria
nt which may be of independent interest for upcoming research.\n

Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, we discuss the
geometry of compact quasi-Einstein manifolds with boundary. This topic is
directly related to warped product Einstein metrics\, static spaces and s

compact quasi-Einstein manifold with boundary and constant scalar curvatu
re must be isometric to either the standard hemisphere $S^3_{+}\,$ or the
cylinder $I\\times S^2$ with product metric. For dimension n=4\, we prove
that a 4-dimensional simply connected compact quasi-Einstein manifold with
boundary and constant scalar curvature is isometric to either the standar

c\, or the product space $S^2_{+}\\times S^2$ with the doubly warped produ

the cohomogeneity one setting\, and study the behaviour of Yang-Mills ins

nIn any Riemannian manifold one can define two natural subspaces of each t

and the second is given by the parallel Killing vector fields at a point (
transvections). In a homogeneous spaces\, both subspaces allow to define i

works which study the restrictions that the existence of nullity imposes i

Sul\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven a smooth closed strictly convex curve $\\gamma$ i
n the plane and a point $x$ outside of $\\gamma$\, there are two tangent l
ines to $\\gamma$ through $x$\; choose one of them consistently\, say\,
the right one from the viewpoint of $x$\, and the outer billiard map $B$
is defined by reflecting $x$ about the point of tangency. We observe that
the good definition and the injectivity of the plane outer billiard map is
a consequence of the fact that the tangent rays associated to both tangen
t vectors to $\\gamma$ determine foliations of the exterior of the curve.
\n\nIn this talk\, we will present the results obtained from a generali
zation of the problem of defining outer billiards in higher dimensions. L
et $v$ be a smooth unit vector field on a complete\, umbilic (but not tota
lly geodesic) hypersurface $N$ in a space form\; for example on the unit s
phere $S^{2k-1} \\subset \\mathbb{R}^{2k}$\, or on a horosphere in hyperbo
lic space. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $v$ for the rays
with initial velocities $v$ (and $-v$) to foliate the exterior $U$ of $N$
. We find and explore relationships among these vector fields and geodesic
vector fields on $N$. When the rays corresponding to each of $\\pm v$ fol
iate $U$\, $v$ induces an outer billiard map whose billiard table is $U$.
We describe the unit vector fields on $N$ whose associated outer billiard
map is volume preserving.\n\nThis is a joint work with Michael Harrison (I

DESCRIPTION:Title: Complex solvmanifolds with holomorphically trivial canonical b
undle\nby Alejandro Tolcachier (UNCordoba) as part of Geometry Webinar
AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nThe canonical bundle of a complex manifold $(
M\,J)$\, with $\\operatorname{dim}_{\\mathbb{C}} M=n$\, is defined as the
$n$-th exterior power of its holomorphic tangent bundle and it is a holomo
rphic line bundle over $M$. Complex manifolds with holomorphically trivial
canonical bundle are important in differential\, complex\, and algebraic
geometry and also have relations with theoretical physics. It is well know
n that every nilmanifold $\\Gamma\\backslash G$ equipped with an invariant
complex structure has (holomorphically) trivial canonical bundle\, due to
the existence of an invariant \n (holomorphic) trivializing section. For
complex solvmanifolds such a section may or may not exist. In this talk\,
we will see an example of a complex solvmanifold with a non-invariant triv
ializing holomorphic section of its canonical bundle. This new phenomenon
lead us to study the existence of holomorphic trivializing sections in two
stages. In the invariant case\, we will characterize this existence in te
rms of the 1-form $\\psi$ naturally defined in terms of the Lie algebra of
$G$ and $J$ by $\\psi(x)=\\operatorname{Tr} (J\\operatorname{ad} x)-\\ope
ratorname{Tr} \\operatorname{ad} (Jx)$. For the non-invariant case\, we wi
ll provide an algebraic obstruction for a solvmanifold to have a trivial c
anonical bundle (or\, more generally\, holomorphically torsion) and we wil
l explicitly construct\, in certain examples\, a trivializing section of t
he canonical bundle that is non-invariant. We will apply this construction
to hypercomplex geometry to provide a negative answer to a question posed
by M. Verbitsky. Based on joint work with Adrián Andrada.\n

equations) describing pseudo-spherical surfaces (curvature -1) or spherica

DESCRIPTION:Title: Homogeneous Hermitian manifolds revisited\nby Jorge Lauret
(CIEM and Univ Nac de Cordoba (Argentina)) as part of Geometry Webinar A
mSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nStarting from a flag manifold F=G/H (the only c
ompact homogeneous manifolds which are Kähler)\, each of the countable ma
ny closed tori T in the center Z(H) of even codimension defines a torus bu
ndle M=G/K over F with fibre A=Z(H)/T\, where K=[H\,H]xT. The different s
lopes of T in Z(H) may or may not have topological consequences on M. The
se so-called C-spaces M=G/K are precisely the compact homogeneous spaces a
dmitting invariant complex structures\, which are all given by one of the
finitely many complex structures on F and any left-invariant complex struc
ture on the torus A\, i.e.\, any linear map J_a on the Lie algebra a of A
whose square is -I. \n\nThe freedom to choose J_a is overwhelming. In th
is talk\, we will show that the existence of distinguished Hermitian metri
cs like Hermite-Einstein\, balanced\, SKT\, CYT\, Chern-Einstein\, etc.\,
can be very sensitive to such a choice.\n

area of research\, particularly in low dimensions where a number of class

this field is the classification of solvable Lie groups that admit left-i

this remains a wild and largely open problem.\n\nIn this talk\, we focus o
n a specific and structurally rich subclass of solvable Lie groups: the al
most abelian Lie groups\, characterized by the presence of a codimension-o

this talk we will discuss results from a recent paper where we investigat
e suitable\, physically motivated conditions on spacetimes containing cert
ain submanifolds (the so-called weakly trapped submanifolds) that ensure\,
in a set of neighboring metrics with respect to a convenient topology\, t
hat the phenomenon of nonspacelike geodesic incompleteness (i.e.\, the exi
stence of singularities) is generic in a precise sense. With respect to th
e strong Whitney topologies on the space of Lorentzian metrics for a given
noncompact manifold $M$ we obtain that\, while the set of singular Lorent
zian metrics around a fiducial one possessing a weakly trapped submanifold
$\\Sigma$ is not really generic in the usual topological sense\, it is n
evertheless prevalent in a sense that we define\, and thus still quite ``l
arge'' in this sense. We provide results both for when $\\Sigma$ has codim
ension 2 and also a case of higher codimension.\nIn a second set of result
s we explore a similar question\, but now for initial data sets containing
marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS). For this case\, we use certain
well-known infinite dimensional Hilbert manifold structures on the space o
f initial data and abstract functional-analytic methods based on the work
of Biliotti\, Javaloyes\, and Piccione to obtain a true genericity of null
geodesic incompleteness around suitable initial data sets containing MOTS

DESCRIPTION:Title: Prescribing non-constant Q and T curvatures on the four-dimen

art of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven a 2-dimensional
closed Riemannian surface\, a classical problem in Geometry consists on pr
escribing its Gaussian curvature to be a given function via conformal chan
ges of the background metric. Such metrics arise\, for instance\, from dif
feormorphisms that preserve the angles between the tangent vectors. The re
sulting equation has been studied for a long time\, but the case of the sp
here\, known as the Nirenberg problem\, is still partially open. If the su
rface has boundary\, it is natural to prescribe also the boundary geodesic
curvature. In higher dimensions\, the geometry becomes richer and we can
prescribe different contractions of the curvature tensor. The most natural
one is prescribing the scalar curvature on the interior and the mean curv
ature on the boundary. To explore further conformal and topological prope
rties of curvatures\, a new operator\, leading to the definition of the Q-
curvature\, was introduced by Branson in 1985. It was generalised to dimen
sion 4 by Branson and Ørsted in 1991. When the manifold has a boundary\,
Chang and Qing introduced a boundary operator which lads to the T curvatur
e.\nIn this talk\, we will show the existence of conformal metric with pre
scribed non-constant Q and boundary T curvatures on the upper hemisphere\,
which represents the analogue to the Nirenberg problem. Using a (non-usua
l) variational formulation\, although the functional is not coercive\, we
will see the existence of minimizers by imposing symmetry conditions (insp
ired by Moser ’s work on the Nirenberg problem). We will focus mainly on
the case of non-negative curvatures.\nThe talk is based on a work done in
collaboration with Sergio Cruz-Blázquez.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Hyperbolicity and conformal curves in calibrated geometry
\nby Jesse Madnick (Seton Hall University) as part of Geometry Webinar AmS
ur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn complex geometry\, "hyperbolicity" refers to t
he interplay of three a priori unrelated ideas: (1) strongly negative curv
ature\, (2) the scarcity of holomorphic lines (Brody hyperbolicity)\, and
(3) the non-degeneracy of certain invariant pseudo-distances (Kobayashi hy
perbolicity).\n\nIn this talk\, we generalize all three of these ideas —
as well as the theorems that connect them — to arbitrary calibrated man
ifolds $(X\,\\phi)$ (such as quaternionic-Kahler\, $G_2$\, and Spin(7)-man
ifolds). The key tool is a Schwarz lemma for conformal $\\phi$-curves (a.k
.a. "Smith immersions") in calibrated manifolds\, a generalization of Ahlf
ors' Schwarz lemma for holomorphic curves.\n\nThis is joint work with Kyle
Broder (Queensland)\, Da Rong Cheng (Miami)\, Anton Iliashenko (BIMSA)\,
