Geometric methods in computational complexity

The Hawking energy is one of the simplest quasi-local energy definitions in general relativity. Despite its simplicity, the Hawking energy has faced challenges due to ambiguities when applied to general surfaces. In this talk, I will present recent results demonstrating that the Hawking energy exhibits key physical and mathematical properties—non-negativity, rigidity,
and monotonicity—when evaluated on a generalization of  area-constrained Willmore surfaces  (Hawking surfaces). In particular such properties hold for area-constrained Willmore surfaces on manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature.  These results establish Hawking surfaces as a useful tool for evaluating the Hawking energy and reinforce its potential as a meaningful tool for understanding gravitational phenomena.

At the beginning of the 20th century, it was known that any compact connected, simply connected Riemann surface is biholomorphic to the projective line.
Subsequently, several characterizations of projective spaces were established. For instance, Siu and Yau stated that projective spaces are the only Kähler manifolds with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature, and Mori proved that they are the only projective manifolds that have an ample tangent bundle. In a different direction, projective spaces are the only Kähler–Einstein manifolds with a positive constant satisfying the equality in the Miyaoka–Yau inequality. This result originating from uniformization theory was generalized in the singular setting by Greb, Kebekus, Peternell and Druel, Guenancia, Păun. More precisely, they characterize singular quotients of $\mathbb{P}^n$ by finite groups acting freely in codimension 1. The aim of this talk is to discuss a generalization of Greb–Kebekus–Peternell’s result in order to characterize quotients of $\mathbb{P}^n$ by any group action.

The symmetrized Asymptotic Mean Value Laplacian \tilde{\Delta}, is obtained as limit of approximating integral operators \tilde{\Delta}_r, and is an extension of the classical Euclidean Laplace operator to the realm of metric measure spaces. We show that in the limit as r->0, as the operators eventually admit isolated eigenvalues defined via min-max procedure  on any compact uniformly locally doubling metric measure space. Then we prove L^2 and spectral convergence of \tilde{\Delta}_r to the Laplace-Beltrami operator of a compact Riemannian manifold, imposing Neumann conditions when the manifold has a non-empty boundary.

We investigate the stability of the Morse index for a sequence of Yang–Mills connections on closed 4-manifolds under bubble-tree convergence. As critical points of a conformally invariant energy, Yang–Mills connections share close ties with harmonic maps in various respects. At the same time, their analysis is simpler provided one works in a suitable gauge, namely the Coulomb gauge. Motivated by applications to the construction of non-stable solutions of the Yang–Mills equations, this work extends recent methods developed by Da Lio–Gianocca–Rivière for index stability to the Yang–Mills framework, employing sharp decay estimates to show that the neck regions contribute positively to the second variation.

Entre variétés à canonique trivial de la même dimension il y a très peu de morphismes dominants, car ils ne peuvent pas ramifier. Par contre, il y a beaucoup d’applications rationnelles dominantes. Parmi elles, celles qui sont Galoisiennes sont les plus géométriques, car elles permettent de voir le codomaine comme un quotient du domaine par un groupe fini (à birationalités près). Nous allons examiner quelles sont les restrictions que la géométrie d’une variété projective lisse avec canonique trivial impose sur ses revêtements rationnels Galoisiens. On applique ces restrictions aux variétés hyperkählériennes pour comprendre lesquelles peuvent être obtenues comme quotients birationnels d’un groupe fini agissant sur une autre variété à canonique trivial, ce qui donne des restrictions à des questions de Alexeev et Laza.
