New geometric structures on 3-manifolds: surgery and generalized geometry

in ,

7 Oct 2024. Talk by Roberto Rubio at the LIGAT-UAB Geometry seminar.

Abstract: I will first give an introduction to standard generalized complex geometry, which encompasses complex and symplectic structures. I will then describe how a variant of generalized complex geometry can reach odd-dimensional manifolds and finish by describing recent results on 3-manifolds that are joint work with Joan Porti.
