Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Journal of Differential Geometry

Description

In 1967, C.-C. Hsiung at Lehigh University had the vision to form the Journal of Differential Geometry (JDG) — a journal dedicated to geometry alone. On the journal’s fiftieth anniversary in 2017, a distinguished group of geometers gathered to present their papers at the annual JDG geometry and topology conference at Harvard University.

This volume presents several of those papers, which include: Denis Auroux on speculations on homological mirror symmetry for hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^n$; Frances Kirwan on variation of non-reductive geometric invariant theory; Camillo De Lellis on the Onsager theorem; Simon Donaldson’s remarks on $G_2$-manifolds with boundary; Daniel Freed on equivariant Chern–Weil forms and determinant lines; Kenji Fukaya on construction of Kuranishi structures on the moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic disks; Larry Guth on recent progress in quantitative topology; Blain Lawson on Lagrangian potential theory and a Lagrangian equation of Monge–Ampère type; Alena Pirutka on intersections of three-quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^7$; Bong Lian on period integrals and tautological systems; Yujiro Kawamata on birational geometry and derived categories; Fernando C. Marques on the space of cycles, a Weyl law for minimal hypersurfaces, and Morse index estimates; Duong Phong on new curvature flows in complex geometry; and Steve Zelditch on local and global analysis of nodal sets.

This volume is part of the Surveys in Differential Geometry book series.
