Stability conditions and spectral networks

Fabian Haiden
(Oxford)
Abstract

Stability conditions on triangulated categories were introduced by Bridgeland, based on ideas from string theory. Conjecturally, they control existence of solutions to the deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills equation and the special Lagrangian equation (on the A-side and B-side of mirror symmetry, respectively). I will focus on the symplectic side and sketch a program which replaces special Lagrangians by "spectral networks", certain graphs enhanced with algebraic data. Based on joint work in progress with Katzarkov, Konstevich, Pandit, and Simpson.

Infinite geodesics on convex surfaces

Alexander Lytchak
(Cologne)
Abstract

In the talk I will discuss the  following result and related analytic and geometric questions:   On the boundary of any convex body in the Euclidean space there exists at least one infinite geodesic.
