Title:  A characterization of bounded symmetric domains of type IV by their group of holomorphic automorphisms
Speaker: Laura Geatti (Universitá de Roma 2, Tor Vergata)
Location: sala   10B
  Abstract:  It was proved by A. Isaev that the unit ball Bˆn in C^n is characterized by its group of holomorphic automorphisms among Stein manifolds of the same dimension, i.e. an n-dimensional Stein manifold whose group of holomorphic automorphisms is isomorphic to Aut(B^n) is necessarily biholomorphic to B^n. This result was later extended to the n-dimensional polydisk by A. Kodama and S. Shimizu. We show that an analogous result holds for bounded symmetric domains of type IV and we discuss possible extensions to the general case.

Title:  Cohomology of real Grassmanian manifolds
Speaker: Luis Casian (Ohio State University)
Location: sala 10 B
  Abstract: An explicit and simple construction of the incidene graph for the integral cohomolog of real Grassmanniannian is given in terms of the Young diagrams filled with the letter $q$ in checkered pattern. There are two types of graphs, one for the trivial coefficients and other for twisted coefficients. An explicit formula of the Poincaré polynomial is derived for $Gr(k,n)$. The Poincaré polynomial is also related to the number of points on $Gr(k,n)$ over a finite field $F_q$ with $q$ used in the Young diagrams. This is also related to integral systems (KP).
