Title: tt^*geometry and special complex geometry

Time: Tuesday November 22, 2011, 14:00-15:00 pm

Speaker: Dr. Sanae Kurosu (Tokyo University of Science)

Venue: Room 09 at Quan-Zhai ( 全斋), New location for BICMR, Peking University

Abstract: tt^*geometry or topological-antitopological fusion is a topic of mathematical and physical interest which is originally intorduced by Cecotti and Vafa and Dubrovin. Special complex manifolds give a good example of tt^*structure and such a manifold is related to some submanifold theory. This talk will review papers by Baues, Cortes, Scheafer and I will try to show the relation of those structures and a submanifold theory (by affine differential geometry)
