Donnerstag, 28.05.2020: The Hawking Energy on Small Scales - Expansion and Concentration Points

Dr. Alexander Friedrich (University of Copenhagen)

The Hawking energy is a quasi local energy in General Relativity. The idea is to obtain a measure for the energy contained within a given volume by measuring the bending of light rays across its boundary. We work in a time slice and regard the Hawking energy as a generalized Willmore functional on spherical surfaces subject to an area constraint. The goal is to analyze the behavior of critical surfaces with small area and identify points in the ambient manifold around which they concentrate. Additionally, we obtain an expansion of the Hawking energy on small spheres. These two results allow us to identify a kind of energy density for the Hawking energy. All of the results presented hold for generic generalized Willmore functionals as well.

Donnerstag, 28.05.2020: Stringy Euler numbers of toric Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces

Prof. Dr. Victor Batyrev (Universität Tübingen)

The talk is devoted to stringy invariants of singular algebraic varieties and their applications in birational geometry and mirror symmetry. Projective Calabi-Yau models of non-degenerate affine hypersurfaces in algebraic torus provide simplest examples of explicit combinatorial formulas for stringy invariants. I explain some recent results and open questions motivated by different mirror symmetry constructions.
