Stable degeneration limits and asymptotic behaviour in quantum gravity
Date: 05 FEBRUARY 2026 from 15:00 to 16:00
Event location: Aula Cremona, Dipartimento di Matematica, Piazza di Porta San Donato 5, Bologna
We discuss recent progress in understanding infinite distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefoldsfrom the perspective of string theory compactifications. A combined algebraic and a geometric approach yields an interpretationof the asymptotic physics in agreement with general ideas about the universal behaviour of quantum gravity in parametric weak coupling regimes.
