Holomorphe integrable Systeme, Prymvarietäten und Hyperkählermetriken
Hitchins Higgs-Modulraum ist ein zentrales Beispiel für ein holomorph integrables System (HIS), dem komplexen Gegenstück integrabler Systeme aus der klassischen Mechanik. Insbesondere fasern HIS in komplexe Tori, für den Higgs-Modulraum beispielsweise in sogenannte Prymvarietäten. Darüber hinaus existieren auf HIS Hyperkählermetriken, eine spezielle Klasse Ricci-flacher Riemannscher Metriken. In diesem Vortag möchte ich zunächst Hitchins Konstruktion und Geometrie des Higgs-Modulraum eingehend diskutieren, bevor ich neuere Ergebnisse zur Asymptotik der Geometrie anspreche, die auf gemeinsamer Arbeit mit R. Mazzeo, J, Swoboda und H. Weiß beruhen.

On periodic orbits in complex planar billiards
A conjecture of Victor Ivrii (1980) says that in every billiard with smooth boundary the set of periodic orbits has measure zero. This conjecture is closely related to spectral theory. Its particular case for triangular orbits was proved by M. Rychlik (1989, in two dimensions), Ya. Vorobets (1994, in any dimension) and other mathematicians. The case of quadrilateral orbits in dimension two was treated in our joint work with Yu. Kudryashov (2012). We study the complexified version of planar Ivrii's conjecture with reflections from a collection of planar holomorphic curves. We present the classification of complex counterexamples with four reflections and partial positive results. The recent one says that a billiard on one irreducible complex algebraic curve without too complicated singularities cannot have a two-dimensional family of periodic orbits of any period. The above complex results have applications to other problems on real billiards: Tabachnikov's commuting billiard problem and Plakhov's invisibility conjecture.

On the first gap in symmetry dimensions
I will present an interesting geometric phenomenon: often in finite-type systems there is a gap in dimensions between the most symmetric model and the other (non-flat) ones. I will give some general results and then illustrate this for a variety of geometries. Among the latest advances I will discuss the submaximal symmetric structures in c-projective geometry (joint with Vladimir Matveev and Dennis The) and nearly pseudo-Kähler geometry (joint with Henrik Winther) and CR-geometry.

Strictly nearly pseudo-Kähler manifolds with large symmetry groups
We consider strictly nearly pseudo-Kähler manifolds of dimension 6 and a closely related generalization of these called non-degenerate almost complex structures. We explore the relationship between these and use this to determine the maximal, sub-maximal and sub-submaximal symmetry dimension of such spaces and give a complete list of examples realizing these symmetry dimensions (joint work with Boris Kruglikov).
