The flag manifold $SU(3)/T^2$ and its subvarieties

Abstract: This talk will emphasize symmetries inherent in studying the geometry of the complex 3-dimensional flag manifold, in particular, those arising from the special Hermitian structure of $\C^3$. It will be based mainly on joint work with A. Altavilla, E. Ballico, and M.C. Brambilla on the behaviour of algebraic curves and surfaces in the flag manifold with respect to its (non-holomorphic) twistor projection to the complex projective plane.

Virtual seminar on geometry with symmetries

Series comments: Description: Research seminar in Lie group actions in Differential geometry.

The seminar meets every other Wednesday. To accommodate most time zones, the time rotates. The Zoom link is sent to the mailing list around 24 hours before each talk.
