Dr. Chen-Yu Chi is visiting TIMS from December 12, 2011 to January 12, 2012. During his visit he is going to deliver a series a lectures on recent development on the mathematical study of Calabi-Yau manifolds from the point of view of affine geometry and Monge-Ampere equations. In particular he will start with Yau's famous proof of Calabi conjecture, including the degenerate case, and then move to Gross-Tosatti-Zhang's recent work on abelian fibrations, and to Gross-Siebert's recent work if time allowed.
