Title: A note on the supercritical deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation
Abstract: We show that on a compact Kähler manifold all real (1,1)-classes admitting solutions to the supercritical deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation form a both open and closed subset of those which satisfy the numerical condition proposed by Collins-Jacob-Yau. More importantly, we show by an example that it can be a proper subset. This disproves a conjecture made by Collins-Jacob-Yau.

Title: ON THE RESIDUAL MONGE-AMPERE MASS OF PLURISUBHARMONIC FUNCTIONS WITH SYMMETRY
Abstract: In this talk, we will study the residual Monge-Ampere mass of a plurisubharmonic function with isolated singularity at the origin in C^2. We proved that the residual mass is zero if its Lelong number is zero at the origin, provided that it is S1-invariant and radially regular. This result answers the zero mass conjecture raised by Guedj and Rashkovskii in this special case.

Title: Real Monge-Ampère equations on reflexive polytopes and the SYZ conjecture
Abstract: The SYZ conjecture on special Lagrangian torus fibrations in Calabi-Yau manifolds close to large complex limits is a central topic in geometry. Recent advances in complex geometry has reduced this conjecture to a comparison principle between solutions to real and non-Archimedean Monge-Ampère equations. In the 'toric setting', i.e. when considering certain families of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric manifolds, this comparison property can be proved by producing solutions to a real Monge-Ampère equation on the boundary of a reflexive polytope. I will outline a variational approach to such equations, present a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of solutions and discuss implications for the SYZ conjecture. This is based on joint work with M. Jonsson, E. Mazzon and N. McCleerey (arXiv:2208.13697) and joint work with R. Andreasson (arXiv:2303.05276)

Title: The universal structure of moment maps in complex geometry
Abstract: Much of complex geometry is motivated by linking the existence of solutions to geometric PDEs (producing "canonical metrics") to stability conditions in algebraic geometry. I will answer a more fundamental question: what is the recipe to produce geometric PDEs in complex geometry? The solution to this will use some old tools from symplectic geometry, namely equivariant differential geometry and the theory of moment maps. This is joint work with Michael Hallam.

Title: Singular solutions for complex Hessian type equations
Abstract: It is well known that solvability of the complex Monge- Ampere equation on compact Kaehler manifolds is related to the positivity of certain intersection numbers. In fact, this follows from combining Yau’s resolution of the Calabi conjecture, with Demailly and Paun’s generalization of the classical Nakai-Mozhesoin criteria. This correspondence was recently extended to a broad class of complex non-linear PDEs including the J-equation and the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills (dHYM) equations by the work of Gao Chen and others. A natural question to ask is whether solutions (necessarily singular) exist in any reasonable sense if the Nakai criteria fails. Results of this nature are ubiquitous in Kaehler geometry - existence of weak Kaehler-Einstein metrics on normal varieties and Hermitian-Einstein metrics on reflexive sheaves to name a couple. Much closer to the present theme, is the work of Boucksom-Eyssidieux-Guedj-Zeriahi on solving the complex Monge-Ampere equation in big classes. In the talk, I will first speak about some joint and ongoing work with Ramesh Mete and Jian Song, that offers a reasonably complete resolution in complex dimension two, at least for the J-equation and the dHYM equations. Next, I will discuss some conjectures on what one can expect in higher dimensions.

Title: Lagrangian mean curvature flow and the Gibbons-Hawking ansatz
Abstract: In this talk I will report on joint work with Jason Lotay on which we prove versions of the Thomas and Thomas-Yau conjectures regarding the existence of special Lagrangian submanifolds and its relation to the Lagrangian mean flow as a way to find them. If time permits I will also report on some more recent work towards proving some more recent conjectures due to Joyce.

Title: Peak sections and Bergman kernels on complex hyperbolic cusps
Abstract: The asymptotic behavior of Bergman kernel on Kahler manifold has been studied by Tian, Ruan, Zelditch, Catlin, Ma, Marinescu and many others since 1990. The works related to Bergman kernel plays an important role in complex geometry.
In this talk, we will introduce a way to localize the Bergman kernel by using peak sections. As an application, we consider the asymptotic behavior of Bergman kernels on complex hyperbolic cusps.

Title: Recent progress on the valuative stability of polarized varieties
Abstract: The valuative criterion has played an essential role in the studying of K-stability of Fano varieties. We will introduce the recent progress on valuative stability of general polarized varieties, including Dervan-Legendre's beta-functional, openness of uniformly valuative stability, and Boucksom-Jonsson's divisorial stability.

Title: Frobenius Structure Conjecture in Intrinsic Mirror Symmetry
Abstract: Given an affine log Calabi-Yau U and a compactification X such that D= X\U is the support of a nef divisor and D is maximally degenerate snc divisor, then the intrinsic mirror algebra of Gross and Siebert admits a trace form which encodes naive counts of rational curves intersecting the boundary finitely many times. By further using results of Keel and Yu, we deduce in the case where U contains a Zariski dense torus that the Gross-Siebert and the Keel-Yu mirror constructions coincide for appropriate choices of compactifications (X,D). In particular, we demonstrate certain log Gromov-Witten invariants are equal to certain counts of non-archimedean analytic disks in the Berkovich analytification of U. If time allows, we will discuss implications for Fano mirror symmetry.

Title: Moduli space of log Calabi-Yau pairs
Abstract: KSBA stability and K-stability have been successful in constructing moduli spaces of canonically polarized variety and Fano varieties, the case of Calabi-Yau varieties remains to be subtle and less understood. In this talk, we will discuss an approach to this problem in the case of log Calabi-Yau pairs (X,D), where X is a Fano variety and D is an anticanonical Q-divisor, in which we consider all semi-log-canonical degenerations. A challenge of this approach is that the moduli stack can be unbounded. Nevertheless, if we consider log Calabi-Yau pairs as degenerations of P^2 with plane curves, we show that there exists a projective good moduli space despite the unboundedness.

Abstract: We first give an brief introduction to the topic of hyperplane arrangement. Then we study the L^2 type invariants of hyperplane arrangement complement. In particular, we give concrete formulas for these L^2 type invariants at degree 1 and the connection with combinatoriscs. If tim allows, some similar results for smooth complex quasi-project variety will be presented.
