Geometry Seminar
Curvature and Holonomy in Generalized Geometry
Speaker: Jaime Pedregal (Utrecht University)Date: Wednesday, 26 February 2025 - 11:30Place: Aula Naranja, ICMAT
Abstract:
Curvature in generalized geometry has proven to be an elusive concept admitting several different approaches, each one with its own advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, the concept of holonomy for generalized connections is, so far, missing from the theory, partly because any sensible definition of generalized holonomy should be linked to generalized curvature through an Ambrose–Singer-type theorem. In this talk, after an introduction to generalized Riemannian geometry, I will address these and related issues.
