Differential Geometry in the Strominger System Problem.
Dr. Mario Garcia Fernandez (Instituto de Ciencias Matematicas)
1 Feb 2016, 16:00 – 17:00

The Strominger system of partial differential equations provides a natural generalization of the Calabi problem on Calabi-Yau manifolds (complex, with trivial canonical bundle) which are not neccessarily Kählerian. In this talk I will overview some results concerning the existence and moduli problem for the Strominger system. I will start with the proof of a general existence theorem for the PDE problem in the case that the Calabi-Yau manifold is Kählerian. I will continue with an overview of recent progress on the moduli problem for the Strominger system.
