The Probability, Differential Geometry, PDE and Mathematical Physics Seminar generally meets Wednesdays at 3:00 pm during the semester. Talks will be given online via Zoom or in person; please check the specific week's talk. If you would like to give a talk in the seminar please contact Alvaro Pampano at alvaro.pampano@ttu.edu
We introduce the Chern–Ricci flow, a parabolic flow of Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds. We show that finite time non-collapsing singularities of the Chern-Ricci flow on compact Hermitian manifolds always form along analytic subvarieties, thus partially answering a question of Feldman–Ilmanen–Knopf and Tosatti--Weinkove.
