I'll describe some history, recent results, and open problems about harmonic map flow, particularly in the 2-dimensional case.
Sean Paul
An interesting problem in complex differential geometry seeks to characterize the existence of a constant scalar curvature metric on a Hodge manifold in terms of the algebraic geometry of the underlying variety. The speaker has recently solved this problem for varieties with finite automorphism group. The talk aims to explain why the problem is interesting (and quite rich) and to describe in non-technical language the ideas in the title and how they all fit together.
Note: this talk will provide some background for Sean's colloquium later in the afternoon.
