DESCRIPTION:Title: Abelian almost contact structures and connections with s
kew-symmetric torsion\nby Adrian Andrada (Universidad Nacional de Cór
doba) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nAbelian comp
lex structures on Lie groups have proved to be very useful in several area
s of differential and complex geometry. In particular\, an abelian hyperco
mplex structure on a Lie group G (that is\, a pair of anticommuting abelia
n complex structures)\, together with a compatible inner product\, gives r
ise to an invariant hyperKähler with torsion (HKT) structure on G. This m
eans that G admits a (unique) metric connection with skew-symmetric torsio
n (called the Bismut connection) which parallelizes the hypercomplex struc
ture. \nIn this talk we move to the odd-dimensional case and we introduce
the notion of abelian almost contact structures on Lie groups. We study th
eir properties and their relations with compatible metrics. Next we consid
er almost 3-contact Lie groups where each almost contact structure is abel
ian. We study their main properties and we give their classification in di
mension 7. After adding compatible Riemannian metrics\, we study the exist
ence of a certain type of metric connections with skew symmetric torsion\,
introduced recently by Agricola and Dileo and called canonical connection
s. We provide examples of such groups in each dimension 4n+3 and show that
they admit co-compact discrete subgroups\, which give rise to compact alm
ost 3-contact metric manifolds equipped with canonical connections.\n\nTo

DESCRIPTION:Title: Systolic inequalities for minimal projective planes in R
iemannian projective spaces\nby Lucas Ambrozio (University of Warwick)
as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nThe word "systole
" is commonly used in Geometry to denote the infimum of the length of hom
otopically non-trivial loops in a compact Riemmanian manifold M. In a gene
ralised sense\, we may use it also to refer to the infimum of the k-dimens
ional volume of a class of k-dimensional submanifolds that represent some
non-trivial topology of M. In this talk\, we will discuss some inequalitie
s comparing the systole to other geometric invariants\, e.g. the total vol
ume of M. After reviewing in details the celebrated inequality of Pu regar
ding the systole of Riemannian projective planes\, we will discuss its gen
eralisations to higher dimensions. This is joint work with Rafael Montezum

DESCRIPTION:Title: Uniform measures of dimension 1\nby Mircea Petrache
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile) as part of Geometry Webinar Am
Sur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn his fundamental 1987 paper on the geometry of
measures\, Preiss posed the problem of classifying uniform measures in d-
dimensional Euclidean space\, a question at the interface of measure theor
y and differential geometry.\n\n A uniform measure is a positive measure
such that for all $r>0$\, all balls of radius $r$ with center in the suppo
rt of the measure\, are given equal masses.\n It was proved by Kirchheim-P
reiss that a uniform measure in $\\mathbb{R}^d$ is a multiple of the k-dim
ensional Hausdorff measure restricted to a k-dimensional analytic variety.
This establishes the link to differential geometry. An important class of
uniform measures are G-invariant measures\, for G any subgroup of isometr
ies of Euclidean space. These are called homogeneous measures. Intriguing
examples of non-homogeneous uniform measures do exist (the surface area of
the 3D cone $x^2=y^2+w^2+z^2$ in $\\mathbb{R}^4$ is one)\, but they are n
ot well understood\, making Preiss' classification question is still widel
y open.\n\n After a historical survey\, I will describe a recent joint pap
er with Paul Laurain\, about uniform measures of dimension 1 in d-dimensio
nal Euclidean space: we prove by a direct approach that these are all give
n by at most countable unions of congruent helices or of congruent toric k
nots. In particular\, 1-dimensional uniform measures with connected suppor
t are homogeneous.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: (Purely) coclosed G$_2$-structures on 2-step nilmanifold
s\nby Viviana del Barco (Université Paris-Sud) as part of Geometry We
binar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn Riemannian geometry\, simply connecte
d nilpotent Lie groups endowed with left-invariant metrics\, and their com
pact quotients\, have been the source of valuable examples in the field.
This motivated several authors to study\, in particular\, left-invariant
G$_2$-structures on 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups. These structures
could also be induced to the associated compact quotients\, also known as
{\\em nilmanifolds}.\n\nLeft-invariant torsion free G$_2$-structures\, tha
t is\, defined by a simultaneously closed and coclosed positive $3$-form\,
do not exist on nilpotent Lie groups. But relaxations of this condition h
ave been the subject of study on nilmanifolds lately. One of them are cocl
osed G$_2$-structures\, for which the defining $3$-form verifies $d \\star
_{\\varphi}\\varphi=0$\, and more specifically\, purely coclosed structur
es\, which are defined as those which are coclosed and satisfy $\\varphi\\
wedge d \\varphi=0$. \n\nIn this talk\, there will be presented recent cla
ssification results regarding left-invariant coclosed and purely coclosed
G$_2$-structures on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. Our techniques exploit t
he correspondence between left-invariant tensors on the Lie group and thei
r linear analogues at the Lie algebra level.\nIn particular\, left-invaria
nt G$_2$-structures on a Lie group will be seen as alternating trilinear f
orms defined on the Lie algebra. The coclosed condition now refers to the
Chevalley-Eilenberg differential of the Lie algebra.\nWe also rely on the
particular Lie algebraic structure of metric 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra
s.\n\nOur goals are twofold. On the one hand we give the isomorphism class
es of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras admitting purely coclosed G$_2$-struct
ures. The analogous result for coclosed structures was obtained by Bagagli
ni\, Fern\\'andez and Fino [Forum Math. 2018]. \n\nOn the other hand\, we
focus on the question of {\\em which metrics} on these Lie algebras can be
induced by a coclosed or purely coclosed structure. We show that any lef
t-invariant metric is induced by a coclosed structure\, whereas every Lie
algebra admitting purely coclosed structures admits metrics which are not
induced by any such a structure. In the way of proving these results we ob
tain a method to construct purely coclosed G$_2$-structures. As a conseque
nce\, we obtain new examples of compact nilmanifolds carrying purely cocl
osed G$_2$-structures.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Gap theorems for free-boundary submanifolds\nby Marc
os Petrucio Cavalcante (Universidade Federal de Alagoas) as part of Geomet
ry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $M^n$ be a compact $n$-dimensio
nal manifold minimally immersed in a unit sphere $S^{n+k}$ and let denote
by $|A|^2$ the squared norm of its second fundamental form. It follows fro
m the famous Simons pinching theorem that if $|A|^2\\leq \\frac{n}{2-\\fra
c{1}{k}}$\, then either $|A|^2=0$ or $|A|^2=\\frac{n}{2-\\frac{1}{k}}$. Th
e submanifolds on which $|A|^2=\\frac{n}{2-\\frac{1}{k}}$ were characteriz
ed by Lawson (when $k=1$) and by Chern-do Carmo-Kobayashi (for any $k$). \
n\nThese important results say that there exists a gap in the space of min
imal submanifolds in $S^{n+k}$ in terms of the length of their second fund
amental forms and their dimensions. \n\nLatter\, Lawson and Simons proved
a topological gap result without making any assumption on the mean curvatu
re of the submanifold. Namely\, they proved that if $M^n$ is a compact sub
manifold in $S^{n+k}$ such that $|A|^2\\leq \\min\\{p(n-p)\, 2\\sqrt{p(n-p
)}\\}$\, then for any finitely generated Abelian group $G$\, $H_p(M\;G)=0$
. In particular\, if $|A|^2< \\min\\{n-1\, 2\\sqrt{n-1}\\}$\, then $M$ is
a homotopy sphere. \n\nIt is well known that free-boundary minimal submani
folds in the unit ball share similar properties as compact minimal submani
folds in the round sphere. For instance\, Ambrozio and Nunes obtained a ge
ometric gap type theorem for free-boundary minimal surfaces $M$ in the Euc
lidean unit $3$-ball $B^3$. They proved that if $|A|^2(x)\\langle x\, N(x)
\\rangle^2\\leq 2$\, where $N(x)$ is the unit normal vector at $x\\in M$\
, then $M$ is either the equatorial disk or the critical catenoid. \n\nIn
the first part of this talk\, I will present a generalization of Ambrozio
and Nunes theorem for constant mean curvature surfaces. Precisely\, if the
traceless second fundamental form $\\phi$ of a free-boundary CMC surface
$B^3$ satisfies $|\\phi|^2(x)\\langle x\, N(x)\\rangle^2\\leq (2+H\\langl
e x\, N(x)\\rangle )^2/2$ then $M$ is either a spherical cap or a portion
of a Delaunay surface. This is joint work with Barbosa and Pereira.\n\nIn
the second part\, I will present a topological gap theorem for free-bounda
ry submanifolds in the unit ball. More precisely\, if $|\\phi|^2\\leq \\fr
ac{np}{n-p}$\, then the $p$-th cohomology group of $M$ with real coefficie
nts vanishes. In particular\, if $|\\phi|^2\\leq \\frac{n}{n-1}$\, then $M
$ has only one boundary component. This is joint work with Mendes and Vit
ório.\n

niform diameter and tensor bounds\nby Raquel Perales (Unam) as part of
Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nBased on join work with Alle
n-Sormani and Cabrera Pacheco-Ketterer. Given a Riemannian manifold $M$ an
d a pair of Riemannian tensors $g_0 \\leq g_j$ on $M$ it follows that $vo
l(M)\\leq vol_j(M)$. Furthermore\, the volumes are equal if and only if $
g_0=g_j$.\n\nIn this talk I will show that for a sequence of Riemannian me
trics $g_j$ defined on $M$ that satisfy \n$g_0\\leq g_j$\, $diam (M_j) \\l
eq D$ and $vol(M_j)\\to vol(M_0)$ then $(M\,g_j)$ converge to $(M\,g_0)$ i
n the volume preserving intrinsic flat sense. I will present examples dem
onstrating that under these conditions we do not necessarily obtain smooth
\, $C^0$ or Gromov-Hausdorff convergence.\n\nFurthermore\, this result can
be applied to show the stability of graphical tori.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The asymptotic geometry of G$_2$-monopoles\nby Dani
el Fadel (Universidade Federal Fluminense) as part of Geometry Webinar AmS
ur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nG$_2$-geometry is a very rich and vast subject in
Differential Geometry which has been seeing a \nlot of progress in the la
st two decades. There are by now very powerful methods that produce millio
ns of examples of G$_2$ holonomy metrics on the compact setting\n and infi
nitely many on the non-compact setting. Besides these fruitful advances\,
at present\, there is no systematic understanding of these metrics. In fac
t\, a very\n important problem in G$_2$-geometry is to develop methods to
distinguish G$_2$-manifolds. One approach intended at producing invariants
of G$_2$-manifolds is by means\n of higher dimensional gauge theory. G$_2
$-monopoles are solutions to a first order nonlinear PDE for pairs consist
ing of a connection on a principal bundle over \na noncompact G$_2$-manifo
ld and a section of the associated adjoint bundle. They arise as the dimen
sional reduction of the higher dimensional Spin$(7)$-instanton\n equation\
, and are special critical points of an intermediate energy functional rel
ated to the Yang-Mills-Higgs energy.\n\nDonaldson-Segal (2009) suggested t
hat one possible approach to produce an enumerative invariant of (noncompa
ct) G$_2$-manifolds is by considering a ``count" of G$_2$-monopoles\n and
this should be related to conjectural invariants ``counting" rigid coassoc
iate (codimension 3 and calibrated) cycles. Oliveira (2014) started the st
udy of G$_2$-monopoles\n providing the first concrete non-trivial examples
and giving evidence supporting the Donaldson-Segal program by finding fam
ilies of G$_2$-monopoles parametrized by a\n positive real number\, called
the mass\, which in the limit when such parameter goes to infinity concen
trate along a compact coassociative submanifold. In this talk I \nwill exp
lain some recent results\, obtained in collaboration with Ákos Nagy and G
onçalo Oliveira\, which show that the asymptotic behavior satisfied by th
e examples \nare in fact general phenomena which follows from natural assu
mptions such as the finiteness of the intermediate energy. This is a very
much needed development in \norder to produce a satisfactory moduli theory
and making progress towards a rigorous definition of the putative invaria
nt. Time permitting\, I will mention some \ninteresting open problems and
possible future directions in this theory.\n

\nby María Amelia Salazar (Universidade Federal Fluminense) as part o
f Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nThe foundation of Lie theor
y is Lie's three theorems that provide a construction of the Lie algebra a
ssociated to any Lie group\; the converses of Lie's theorems provide an in
tegration\, i.e. a mechanism for constructing a Lie group out of a Lie alg
ebra. The Lie theory for groupoids and algebroids has many analogous resul
ts to those for Lie groups and Lie algebras\, however\, it differs in impo
rtant respects: one of these aspects is that there are Lie algebroids whic
h do not admit any integration by a Lie groupoid. In joint work with Cabre
ra and Marcut\, we showed that the non-integrability issue can be overcome
by considering local Lie groupoids instead. In this talk I will explain a
construction of a local Lie groupoid integrating a given Lie algebroid an

bstract\nIn 1987\, Yau posed the question of whether all minimal 2-spheres
in a 3-dimensional ellipsoid inside $\\mathbb{R}^4$ are planar\, i.e.\, d
etermined by the intersection with a hyperplane. While this is the case if
the ellipsoid is nearly round\, Haslhofer and Ketover have recently shown
the existence of an embedded non-planar minimal 2-sphere in sufficiently
elongated ellipsoids\, with min-max methods. Using bifurcation theory and
the symmetries that arise in the case where at least two semi-axes coincid
e\, we show the existence of arbitrarily many distinct embedded non-planar
minimal 2-spheres in sufficiently elongated ellipsoids of revolution. Thi

s first Levi-Civita Ricci curvature. From this\, a natural question to ask
(inspired by the Calabi-Yau theorem [3]) is the following: On a compact c
omplex manifold with vanishing first Aeppli-Chern class\, does there exist
a smooth Levi-Civita Ricci-flat Hermitian metric? In general\, it is part
icularly challenging to solve the Levi-Civita Ricci-flat equation\, since
there are non-elliptic terms involved in the underlying PDE problem. In th
is talk\, we will investigate the above question in the setting of compact
Hermitian Weyl-Einstein manifolds. The main purpose is to show that every
compact Hermitian Weyl-Einstein manifold admits a Levi-Civita Ricci-flat
Hermitian metric [1]. This result generalizes previous constructions on Ho

for which the machinery of weak maximum principles is valid. The latter is
one of the main tools we apply to derive several new characterizations an

rties\, for instance\, in Euclidean space. Besides\, as in Euclidean space
\, MCFS are also stationary immersions for a weighted volume functional. U

na Zoll metric is a Riemannian metric g on a manifold such that all of its
geodesics are periodic and have the same finite fundamental period. In pa
rticular\, (M\,g) is a compact manifold such that each tangent one-dimensi
onal subspace of each one of its points is tangent to some closed geodesic
. Since periodic geodesics are not only periodic orbits of a flow\, but al
so closed curves that are critical points of the length functional\, the n
otion of Zoll metrics admits natural generalisations in the context of min
imal submanifold theory\, that is\, the theory of critical points of the a
rea functional. In this talk\, based on joint work with F. Codá (Princeto

s\nby Da Rong Cheng (University of Miami) as part of Geometry Webinar
AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven a surface S in R3\, a classical problem
is to find disk-type surfaces with prescribed constant mean curvature whos
e boundary meets S orthogonally. When S is diffeomorphic to a sphere\, dir
ect minimization could lead to trivial solutions and hence min-max constru
ctions are needed. Among the earliest such constructions is the work of St
ruwe\, who produced the desired free boundary CMC disks for almost every m

n a previous joint work with Xin Zhou (Cornell)\, we combined Struwe's met
hod with other techniques to obtain an analogous result for CMC 2-spheres
in Riemannian 3-spheres and were able to remove the "almost every" restric

DESCRIPTION:Title: Complex structures on $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras\nby Maria Laura Barberis (UNC) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul
\n\n\nAbstract\nThere is a notion of nilpotent complex structures on nilpo
tent Lie algebras introduced by Cordero-Fernández-Gray-Ugarte (2000). Not
every complex structure on a nilpotent Lie algebra $\\mathfrak{n}$ is nil
potent\, but when $\\mathfrak{n}$ is $2$-step nilpotent any complex struc
ture on $\\mathfrak{n}$ is nilpotent of step either $2$ or $3$ (a fact pro
ved by J. Zhang in 2022). The class of nilpotent complex structures of ste
p $2$ strictly contains the space of abelian and bi-invariant complex stru
ctures on a $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebra. In this work in progress\, we
obtain a characterization of the $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras whose cor
responding Lie groups admit a left invariant complex structure. We conside
r separately the cases when the complex structure is nilpotent of step $2$
or $3$. Some applications of our results to Hermitian geometry are discus
sed\, for instance\, it turns out that the $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras
constructed by Tamaru from Hermitian symmetric spaces admit pluriclosed (
or SKT) metrics. We also show that abelian complex structures are frequent
on naturally reductive $2$-step nilmanifolds\, while it is known (Del Bar
co-Moroianu) that these do not admit orthogonal bi-invariant complex struc
tures.\n

led by a factor $\\tau\\neq 1$ in the directions of the fibers. A Hopf-Ber
ger sphere is the usual {\\it Berger sphere} for the complex Hopf fibrati

_t^m(o)\\subset\\bar M$ of radius $t$ of a rank one symmetric space of non
-constant curvature ($\\bar M$ is compact if and only if $\\tau <1$). A H
opf-Berger sphere has positive curvature if and only if $\\tau <4/3$. A st
andard totally geodesic submanifold of $\\mathsf{S}_t^m(o)$ is obtained as
the intersection of the geodesic sphere with a totally geodesic submanifo
ld of $\\bar M$. We will speak about the classification of totally geodes
ic submanifolds of Hopf-Berger spheres. In particular\, for quaternionic
and octonionic fibrations\, non-standard totally geodesic spheres with th

DESCRIPTION:Title: On the harmonic flow of geometric structures\nby Da
niel Fadel (IMPA) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\n
In this talk\, I will report on recent results of an ongoing collaboration
with Éric Loubeau\, Andrés Moreno and Henrique Sá Earp on the study of
the harmonic flow of $H$-structures. This is the negative gradient flow o
f a natural Dirichlet-type energy functional on an isometric class of $H$-
structures on a closed Riemannian $n$-manifold\, where $H$ is the stabiliz
er in $\\mathrm{SO}(n)$ of a finite collection of tensors in $\\mathbb{R}^
n$. Using general Bianchi-type identities of $H$-structures\, we are able
to prove monotonicity formulas for scale-invariant local versions of the e
nergy\, similar to the classic formulas proved by Struwe and Chen (1988-89
) in the theory of harmonic map heat flow. We then deduce a general epsilo
n-regularity result along the harmonic flow and\, more importantly\, we ge
t long-time existence and finite-time singularity results in parallel to t
he classical results proved by Chen-Ding (1990) in harmonic map theory. In
particular\, we show that if the energy of the initial $H$-structure is s
mall enough\, depending on the $C^0$-norm of its torsion\, then the harmon
ic flow exists for all time and converges to a torsion-free $H$-structure.
Moreover\, we prove that the harmonic flow of $H$-structures develops a f
inite time singularity if the initial energy is sufficiently small but the
re is no torsion-free $H$-structure in the homotopy class of the initial $
H$-structure. Finally\, based on the analogous work of He-Li (2021) for al
most complex structures\, we give a general construction of examples where
the later finite-time singularity result applies on the flat $n$-torus\,
provided the $n$-th homotopy group of the quotient $\\mathrm{SO}(n)/H$ is
non-trivial\; e.g. when $n=7$ and $H=\\mathrm{G}_2$\, or when $n=8$ and $H

split special Lagrangian calibration. We introduce the concept of optimal
vorticity and give an optimal screwed global section for the three-sphere.
We prove that it is also homologically volume maximizing (now using a com

DESCRIPTION:Title: Weyl structures with special holonomy on compact confor
mal manifolds\nby Andrei Moroianu (Paris-Saclay/CNRS) as part of Geome
try Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nWe consider compact conformal mani
folds $(M\,[g])$ endowed with a closed Weyl structure $\\nabla$\, i.e. a t
orsion-free connection preserving the conformal structure\, which is local
ly but not globally the Levi-Civita connection of a metric in $[g]$. Our a
im is to classify all such structures when both $\\nabla$ and $\\nabla^g$\
, the Levi-Civita connection of $g$\, have special holonomy. In such a set
ting\, $(M\,[g]\,\\nabla)$ is either flat\, or irreducible\, or carries a
locally conformally product (LCP) structure.\nSince the flat case is alrea
dy completely classified\, we focus on the last two cases.\nWhen $\\nabla$
has irreducible holonomy we prove that $(M\,g)$ is either Vaisman\, or a
mapping torus of an isometry of a compact nearly Kähler or nearly paralle
l $\\mathrm{G}_2$ manifold\, while in the LCP case we prove that $g$ is ne
ither Kähler nor Einstein\, thus reducible by the Berger-Simons Theorem\,
and we obtain the local classification of such structures in terms of ada
pted metrics. This is joint work with Florin Belgun and Brice Flamencourt.

/a>\nby João Henrique Santos de Andrade (USP) as part of Geometry Webinar
AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nWe study some compactness properties of the s
et of conformally flat singular metrics with constant positive $Q$-curvatu
re (integer or fractional) on a finitely punctured sphere.\nBased on some
recent classification results\, we focus on some cases of integer $Q$-curv
ature. We introduce a notion of necksize for these metrics in our moduli s
pace\, which we use to characterize compactness. More precisely\, we prove
that if the punctures remain separated and the necksize at each puncture
is bounded away from zero along a sequence of metrics\, then a subsequence
converges with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. Our proof relies o
n an upper bound estimate which is proved using moving planes and a blow-u
p argument. This is combined with a lower bound estimate which is a conseq
uence of a removable singularity theorem. We also introduce a homological
invariant which may be of independent interest for upcoming research.\n

curvature must be isometric to either the standard hemisphere $S^3_{+}\,$
or the cylinder $I\\times S^2$ with product metric. For dimension n=4\, we

DESCRIPTION:Title: Instantons on asymptotically local conical G2 metrics\nby Jakob Stein (Unicamp) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\
nAbstract\nAsymptotically locally conical (ALC) metrics can be viewed as h
igher-dimensional analogues of ALF gravitational instantons\, such as the
Taub-NUT metric. In the setting of special holonomy\, families of Yang-Mil
ls instantons on ALC G2-metrics are expected to display some of the same f
eatures as the families of instantons on ALF spaces\, studied recently by
Cherkis-Larrain-Hubach-Stern. We will demonstrate this relationship explic
itly in the cohomogeneity one setting\, and study the behaviour of Yang-Mi
lls instantons as the underlying geometry varies in a one-parameter family
. This talk features two ongoing joint works\, one with Matt Turner\, and
one with Lorenzo Foscolo and Calum Ross.\n

stract\nIn any Riemannian manifold one can define two natural subspaces of
each tangent space. The first is given by the nullity of the curvature te
nsor\, and the second is given by the parallel Killing vector fields at a
point (transvections). In a homogeneous spaces\, both subspaces allow to d
efine invariant distributions\, called the nullity distribution and the di
stribution of symmetry\, which are related to each other. We present some
recent works which study the restrictions that the existence of nullity im
poses in the Lie algebra of the whole isometry group of a Riemannian homog
eneous space and its relation to the distribution of symmetry. We finally
introduce some work in progress on the extension of these concepts to Lore

le Godoy (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba) as part of Geometry Webinar Am
Sur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven a smooth closed strictly convex curve $\\g
amma$ in the plane and a point $x$ outside of $\\gamma$\, there are two ta
ngent lines to $\\gamma$ through $x$\; choose one of them consistently\,
say\, the right one from the viewpoint of $x$\, and the outer billiard ma
p $B$ is defined by reflecting $x$ about the point of tangency. We observ
e that the good definition and the injectivity of the plane outer billiard
map is a consequence of the fact that the tangent rays associated to both
tangent vectors to $\\gamma$ determine foliations of the exterior of the
curve. \n\nIn this talk\, we will present the results obtained from a g
eneralization of the problem of defining outer billiards in higher dimensi
ons. Let $v$ be a smooth unit vector field on a complete\, umbilic (but n
ot totally geodesic) hypersurface $N$ in a space form\; for example on the
unit sphere $S^{2k-1} \\subset \\mathbb{R}^{2k}$\, or on a horosphere in
hyperbolic space. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $v$ for t
he rays with initial velocities $v$ (and $-v$) to foliate the exterior $U$
of $N$. We find and explore relationships among these vector fields and g
eodesic vector fields on $N$. When the rays corresponding to each of $\\pm
v$ foliate $U$\, $v$ induces an outer billiard map whose billiard table i
s $U$. We describe the unit vector fields on $N$ whose associated outer bi
lliard map is volume preserving.\n\nThis is a joint work with Michael Harr

DESCRIPTION:Title: Complex solvmanifolds with holomorphically trivial cano
nical bundle\nby Alejandro Tolcachier (UNCordoba) as part of Geometry
Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nThe canonical bundle of a complex mani
fold $(M\,J)$\, with $\\operatorname{dim}_{\\mathbb{C}} M=n$\, is defined
as the $n$-th exterior power of its holomorphic tangent bundle and it is a
holomorphic line bundle over $M$. Complex manifolds with holomorphically
trivial canonical bundle are important in differential\, complex\, and alg
ebraic geometry and also have relations with theoretical physics. It is we
ll known that every nilmanifold $\\Gamma\\backslash G$ equipped with an in
variant complex structure has (holomorphically) trivial canonical bundle\,
due to the existence of an invariant \n (holomorphic) trivializing sectio
n. For complex solvmanifolds such a section may or may not exist. In this
talk\, we will see an example of a complex solvmanifold with a non-invaria
nt trivializing holomorphic section of its canonical bundle. This new phen
omenon lead us to study the existence of holomorphic trivializing sections
in two stages. In the invariant case\, we will characterize this existenc
e in terms of the 1-form $\\psi$ naturally defined in terms of the Lie alg
ebra of $G$ and $J$ by $\\psi(x)=\\operatorname{Tr} (J\\operatorname{ad} x
)-\\operatorname{Tr} \\operatorname{ad} (Jx)$. For the non-invariant case\
, we will provide an algebraic obstruction for a solvmanifold to have a tr
ivial canonical bundle (or\, more generally\, holomorphically torsion) and
we will explicitly construct\, in certain examples\, a trivializing secti
on of the canonical bundle that is non-invariant. We will apply this const
ruction to hypercomplex geometry to provide a negative answer to a questio
n posed by M. Verbitsky. Based on joint work with Adrián Andrada.\n

r /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, I will survey some aspects relating
classes of PDEs with metrics on a 2-\ndimensional manifold with non zero
constant Gaussian curvature. The notion of a differential equation (or sys
tem of equations) describing pseudo-spherical surfaces (curvature -1) or s
pherical surfaces (curvature 1) will be introduced. Such equations have re
markable properties. Each equation is the integrability condition of a lin
ear problem explicitly given. The linear problem may provide solutions for
the equation by using Bäcklund type transformations or by applying the i
nverse scattering method. Moreover\, the geometric properties of the surfa
ces may provide infinitely many conservation laws. Very well known equatio
ns such as the sine-Gordon\, Korteveg de Vries\, Non Linear Schrödinger\,
Camassa-Holm\, short-pulse equation\, elliptic sine-Gordon\, etc. are exa
mples of large classes of equations related to metrics with non zero const
ant curvature. Classical and more recent results characterizing and classi
fying certain types of equations will be mentioned. Examples and illustrat

DESCRIPTION:Title: Pluriclosed manifolds with parallel Bismut torsion\
nby Nicoletta Tardini (Università di Parma) as part of Geometry Webinar A
mSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nSeveral special non-K\\"ahler Hermitian metrics
can be introduced on complex manifolds. Among them\, pluriclosed metrics
deserve particular attention. They can be defined on a complex manifold by
saying that the torsion of the Bismut connection associated to the metric
is closed. These metrics always exist on compact complex surfaces but the
situation in higher dimension is very different. We will discuss several
properties concerning these metrics also in relation with the torsion of t
he Bismut connection being parallel. This is joint work with G. Barbaro an
d F. Pediconi.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Homogeneous Hermitian manifolds revisited\nby Jorge
Lauret (CIEM and Univ Nac de Cordoba (Argentina)) as part of Geometry We
binar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nStarting from a flag manifold F=G/H (the
only compact homogeneous manifolds which are Kähler)\, each of the count
able many closed tori T in the center Z(H) of even codimension defines a t
orus bundle M=G/K over F with fibre A=Z(H)/T\, where K=[H\,H]xT. The diff
erent slopes of T in Z(H) may or may not have topological consequences on
M. These so-called C-spaces M=G/K are precisely the compact homogeneous s
paces admitting invariant complex structures\, which are all given by one
of the finitely many complex structures on F and any left-invariant comple
x structure on the torus A\, i.e.\, any linear map J_a on the Lie algebra
a of A whose square is -I. \n\nThe freedom to choose J_a is overwhelming.
In this talk\, we will show that the existence of distinguished Hermitia
n metrics like Hermite-Einstein\, balanced\, SKT\, CYT\, Chern-Einstein\,
etc.\, can be very sensitive to such a choice.\n

Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nThe study of the existence and classi
fication of Einstein metrics on compact homogeneous spaces $G/K$ varies si
gnificantly depending on whether the Lie group $G$ is simple or not. Even
for the standard metric\, the classification of compact homogeneous spaces
of the form $M = G/K$\, where $G$ is non-simple and the standard metric i
s Einstein\, remains an open problem. The only known examples are the Ledg
er-Obata spaces\, along with four infinite families and three isolated spa
ces found by Nikonorov and Rodionov in the 1990s.\n\nIn the first part of
the talk\, I will present the structural conditions these examples must sa
tisfy and explore the stability type of these standard Einstein metrics as
critical points of the scalar curvature functional on the space of all un
it volume\, $G$-invariant metrics on $M$\, this was joint work with Jorge
Lauret. The second part will focus on homogeneous spaces of the form $M =
H \\times H / \\Delta K$\, where $H/K$ is an irreducible symmetric space.
I will examine the stability type of non-diagonal Einstein metrics found b

left-invariant complex or symplectic structures. Despite significant prog

focus on a specific and structurally rich subclass of solvable Lie groups:
the almost abelian Lie groups\, characterized by the presence of a codime
nsion-one abelian ideal. We will present a complete classification of thos

We will also discuss an analogous classification result for symplectic str

act\nIn this talk we will discuss results from a recent paper where we inv
estigate suitable\, physically motivated conditions on spacetimes containi
ng certain submanifolds (the so-called weakly trapped submanifolds) that e
nsure\, in a set of neighboring metrics with respect to a convenient topol
ogy\, that the phenomenon of nonspacelike geodesic incompleteness (i.e.\,
the existence of singularities) is generic in a precise sense. With respec
t to the strong Whitney topologies on the space of Lorentzian metrics for
a given noncompact manifold $M$ we obtain that\, while the set of singular
Lorentzian metrics around a fiducial one possessing a weakly trapped subm
anifold $\\Sigma$ is not really generic in the usual topological sense\,
it is nevertheless prevalent in a sense that we define\, and thus still qu
ite ``large'' in this sense. We provide results both for when $\\Sigma$ ha
s codimension 2 and also a case of higher codimension.\nIn a second set of
results we explore a similar question\, but now for initial data sets con
taining marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS). For this case\, we use c
ertain well-known infinite dimensional Hilbert manifold structures on the
space of initial data and abstract functional-analytic methods based on th
e work of Biliotti\, Javaloyes\, and Piccione to obtain a true genericity
of null geodesic incompleteness around suitable initial data sets containi

DESCRIPTION:Title: Prescribing non-constant Q and T curvatures on the fou
r-dimensional half sphere\nby Azahara dela Torre Pedraza (Roma Sapienz
a) as part of Geometry Webinar AmSur /AmSul\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven a 2-dimen
sional closed Riemannian surface\, a classical problem in Geometry consist
s on prescribing its Gaussian curvature to be a given function via conform
al changes of the background metric. Such metrics arise\, for instance\, f
rom diffeormorphisms that preserve the angles between the tangent vectors.
The resulting equation has been studied for a long time\, but the case of
the sphere\, known as the Nirenberg problem\, is still partially open. If
the surface has boundary\, it is natural to prescribe also the boundary g
eodesic curvature. In higher dimensions\, the geometry becomes richer and
we can prescribe different contractions of the curvature tensor. The most
natural one is prescribing the scalar curvature on the interior and the me
an curvature on the boundary. To explore further conformal and topologica
l properties of curvatures\, a new operator\, leading to the definition of
the Q-curvature\, was introduced by Branson in 1985. It was generalised t
o dimension 4 by Branson and Ørsted in 1991. When the manifold has a boun
dary\, Chang and Qing introduced a boundary operator which lads to the T c
urvature.\nIn this talk\, we will show the existence of conformal metric w
ith prescribed non-constant Q and boundary T curvatures on the upper hemis
phere\, which represents the analogue to the Nirenberg problem. Using a (n
on-usual) variational formulation\, although the functional is not coerciv
e\, we will see the existence of minimizers by imposing symmetry condition
s (inspired by Moser ’s work on the Nirenberg problem). We will focus ma
inly on the case of non-negative curvatures.\nThe talk is based on a work
done in collaboration with Sergio Cruz-Blázquez.\n
