Title:
Degeneration of Calabi-Yau Metrics

Speaker:
Song Sun

Abstract:
The complex structure moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds can be compactified using the Gromov-Haudorff topology, and a central question is to understand the structure of these Gromov-Hausdorff limits. We will focus on the ``non-collapsing” case, and explain the connection with algebraic geometry (joint work with S. Donaldson), and the recent example of a compact Calabi-Yau manifold with isolated conical singularities (joint work with H. Hein). A well-known application of the latter is the existence of special Lagrangian spheres on the smoothing of nodal Calabi-Yau varieties.
