Geometric Flows and Heterotic String Theory

Abstract: The first half of this talk will be a historical survey of geometric flows and their applications in various subfields of differential geometry. We will then specialize to complex non-Kähler geometry, and discuss links from complex geometry to heterotic string theory. Finally, we will present some results on the Anomaly flow, which is a geometric flow inspired from a system of equations in heterotic string theory developed in joint works with T. Fei, D.H. Phong and X.-W. Zhang.
