Metrics Through Non-Kahler Transitions

Abstract: It was proposed by Clemens, Friedman and Reid to connect Calabi-Yau threefolds of different topologies by an operation known as a conifold transition. However, this process may produce a non-Kahler complex manifold with trivial canonical bundle. We will consider conifold transitions from the point of view of differential geometry and discuss passing special metrics through a non-Kahler transition.

This is joint work with T.C. Collins and S.-T. Yau.
