Talk Abstract:

I will give an introductory talk on Kahler geometry aimed for beginning graduate students in hopes to motivate them to do research in geometry. We will begin with a brief introduction to Riemannian geometry so that first and second year graduate students will be able to understand the talk, at least heuristically. We will then cover the necessary materials to define the Bergman kernel and its asymptotic expansion on polarized manifolds. We will apply the Bergman kernel to prove Tian's theorem on the convergence of polarized metrics. Come for the pizza, stay for the geometry!

About the Speaker:

Sho is a 6th year graduate student who studies complex geometry. He is a graduate of UC Berkeley. Sho enjoys music and coffee.

Refreshments:

Pizza will be served after the talk.
