Convex and Complex: Perspectives on Positivity in Geometry

This volume presents a collection of research articles arising from the conference on “Convex and Complex: Perspectives on Positivity in Geometry,” held in Cetraro, Italy, from October 31–November 4, 2022. The conference celebrated the 70th birthday of Bo Berndtsson and the vitality of current research across complex and convex geometry, as well as interactions between the two areas, all united by the overarching concept of positivity. Positivity plays a central role in complex and convex geometry. It arises from a range of complementary perspectives, as illustrated by the breadth of the papers appearing in this volume, including existence Kähler–Einstein edge metrics, Santaló-type inequalities, curvature of direct images of bundles, extension theorems for holomorphic functions, optimal transport and Hessian manifolds, interpolation and Brunn–Minkowski theory, and non-Archimedean geometry. The format of the workshop was innovative compared to standard conferences in mathematics, with focused 30-minute talks, aimed at stimulating lively discussions and a “flipped classroom” where the audience becomes more engaged and the speaker is not expected to transmit more information than listeners can possibly absorb. Lengthy breaks between talks and a relatively small number of talks allowed for useful time blocks for collaboration. This volume reflects the spirit of the conference, showcasing the vitality of current research in these areas as well as the profound impact of Bo Berndtsson's contributions to the field.
Geometry and Topology of Aspherical Manifolds
Author: Luca F. Di Cerbo

Publisher: American Mathematical Society
Release Date: 2025-03-31
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Singer–Hopf Conjecture in Geometry and Topology, held from March 18–19, 2023, at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. It presents a multidisciplinary point of view on the Singer conjecture, the Hopf conjecture, the study on normalized Betti numbers, and several other intriguing questions on the fundamental group and cohomology of aspherical manifolds. This volume highlights many interesting research directions in the study of aspherical manifolds and covers a large collection of problems and conjectures about $L^2$-invariants of aspherical manifolds. It provides a snapshot of contemporary research in mathematics at the interface of geometry and topology, as well as algebraic geometry. The problems are presented from several distinct points of view, and the articles in this volume suggest possible generalizations and bridge a gap with closely related problems in differential geometry, complex algebraic geometry, and geometric topology. The volume can play a role in focusing the attention of the mathematical community on these fascinating problems which continue to resist the siege of geometers and topologists. It is our hope that this volume will become a valuable resource for early career mathematicians interested in these deep and important questions.
Geometry, Groups and Mathematical Philosophy

Publisher: American Mathematical Society
Release Date: 2025-02-21
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Geometry, Groups and Mathematical Philosophy, held in honor of Ravindra S. Kulkarni's 80th birthday. Talks at the conference touched all the areas that intrigued Ravi Kulkarni over the years. Accordingly, the conference was divided into three parts: differential geometry, symmetries arising in geometric and general mathematics, mathematical philosophy and Indian mathematics. The volume also includes an expanded version of Kulkarni's lecture and a brief autobiography.
