Title: Arnold-Thom conjecture for the arrival time of surfacesAbstract: Following Łojasiewicz's uniqueness theorem and Thom's gradient conjecture, Arnold proposed a stronger version about the existence of limit tangents of gradient flow lines for analytic functions. In this talk, I will explain the proof of Łojasiewicz's theorem and Arnold's conjecture in the context of arrival time […]
Title: Near-center derivatives and arithmetic 1-cycles Abstract: Degrees of arithmetic special cycles on Shimura varieties are expected to appear in first derivatives of automorphic forms and L-functions, such as in the Gross--Zagier formula, Kudla's program, and the Arithmetic Gan--Gross--Prasad program. I will explain some “near-central” instances of an arithmetic Siegel--Weil formula from Kudla’s program, which […]

Title: Some recent developments on the fully nonlinear Yamabe problems Abstract: In recent joint work with YanYan Li and Zongyuan Li, we broaden the scope of fully nonlinear Yamabe problems by establishing optimal Liouville-type theorems, local gradient estimates, and new existence and compactness results for conformal metrics on a closed Riemannian manifold with prescribed symmetric functions […]
Title: Stable Reduction via the Log Canonical Model.Abstract: We will discuss a natural perspective on stable reduction that extends Deligne--Mumford's stable reduction for curves to higher dimensions. From this perspective, we will outline a proof of stable reduction for surfaces in large characteristic.
Title: TBA Abstract: TBA
Title: Du Bois invariants for isolated singularities.Abstract: The Du Bois invariants are natural invariants for singularities. In this talk, I will explain what they are, why they are interesting, and report on recent and ongoing work studying their properties.
