Title: Spectral convergence under Gromov-Hausdorff convergence

Abstract:  

In this talk, we will talk about the spectral convergence under the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence.  We focus on the behavior of the spectrum of Hodge-Laplacian for a non-collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff convergent sequence of Riemannian manifolds with a uniform bound of Ricci curvature.

Title: On a theorem of Beilinson-Schechtman and its generalization to parabolic case

Abstract:  

In this talk, we first talk about a theorem of  Beilinson-Schechtman on the Atiyah algebra of the determinant cohomology line bundle, associated to a smooth family of algebraic curves.

Secondly, we will give an introduction to the recent work of Biswas-Mukhopadhyay-Wentworth (arXiv:2103.03792 ; 2307.09196) on the generalization of BS-theorem to the parabolic case.

Title: Integral invariants for framed 3-manifolds associated to trivalent graphs(线上)

Abstract:  

In this talk, we will give an introduction on the recent work of H. Kodani and X. Liu (arXiv:2311.02682v2) on constructing integral invariants for framed 3-manifolds associated to trivalent graphs.

In Chern-Simons perturbation gauge theory, Bott and Cattaneo defined some integral invariants for framed rational homology 3-sphere in terms of graph cocycles without self-loops.   In the work of Kodani-Liu, they construct a theory of graph complexes and cocycles to define  integral invariants for graphs with higher self loops.

Title: On the linear Singer-Hopf conjecture

Abstract:  

In this talk, we will give an introduction on the recent work of Deng and Wang (arXiv:2405.12012) on the linear Singer-Hopf conjecture.  If X is a closed 2n-dimensional aspherical manifold, the Singer-Hopf conjecture says that (-1)^n\chi(X)\geq 0. In the work of Deng-Wang, they solved this conjecture for complex projective manifolds equipped with an almost faithful linear representation of its fundamental group.
