MSRI Seminar: " On the Kummer Construction"
Tue, April 21, 2009 4:00PM - 5:00PM
Time:4:00PM - 5:00PM
Location:Simons Auditorium
Speakers:Jaroslaw Wisniewski, Dr. Jaroslaw Wisniewski
Abstract:Let us divide an abelian variety by an action of a finite group, then find a crepant resolution of the resulting singularities. This is a general version of the Kummer construction which leads to Calabi-Yau and hyperkaehler manifolds. I will explain how to calculate cohomology of the resulting manifold. This will be a report on a joint work with Marco Andreatta and on a work of Maria Donten.
