DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ZAG/97/">Geo
 metry of Conifold Transitions</a>\nby Shing-Tung Yau (Harvard University) 
 as part of ZAG (Zoom Algebraic Geometry) seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nConifold t
 ransitions were introduced by Clemens\, Reid and Friedman to connect Calab
 i-Yau threefolds with different topologies. However\, this operation may p
 roduce a complex manifold with trivial canonical bundle which is non-Kahle
 r. I will discuss this transition from the point of view of metrics and di
 fferential geometry\, and propose a non-Kahler analog of Calabi-Yau metric
 s which originates in heterotic string theory. This talk will contain join
 t works with T.C. Collins\, J.-X. Fu\, J. Li\, and S. Picard.\n
