SUMMARY:Calibrated Geometry - Kim Moore (Cambridge)
DTSTART:20160527T140000Z

CONTACT:Christian Lund
DESCRIPTION:The seminal paper of Harvey and Lawson 'Calibrated Geometries'
  was published in the early 1980s. Motivated by Kähler manifolds (a certa
 in class of complex manifold) they define what it means to be a calibrated
  submanifold\, which has the desirable property of being volume minimising
  in its homology class. With links to special holonomy and complex geometr
 y and also such physical theories as string theory and M-theory\, the fiel
 d has received much attention from mathematicians over the years. \n\nIn t
 his talk I hope to introduce you to calibrated geometry\, with motivating 
 examples. Time permitting\, I will go on to discuss some highlights of wor
 k in the field\, and perhaps talk briefly about my own research.\n
