Colleen M Robles

Professor of Mathematics
Mathematics
Office hours Spring 2024: Tue + Thu, 1:00 - 2:30 PM  

Overview


Professor Robles is a geometer.  Her current research is focused on questions in complex geometry that are motivated by Hodge theory and its applications to moduli of algebraic varieties.  (She also has made contributions to the fields of Finsler geometry, calibrated geometry, and complex projective geometry.)  She also is also interested in (and supervises projects on) the formalization of mathematics via automated theorem-provers and proof-assistants (such as Lean).

Completion of two-parameter period maps by nilpotent orbits

Preprint · December 1, 2023 We show that every two-parameter period map admits a Kato--Nakayama--Usui completion to a morphism of log manifolds. ... Open Access Link to item Cite

Pseudoconvexity at infinity in Hodge theory: a codimension one example

Preprint · February 9, 2023 The generalization of the Satake--Baily--Borel compactification to arbitrary period maps has been reduced to a certain extension problem on certain "neighborhoods at infinity". Extension problems of this type require that the neighborhood be pseudoconvex. ... Link to item Cite

Extension of Hodge norms at infinity

Preprint · February 8, 2023 It is a long-standing problem in Hodge theory to generalize the Satake--Baily--Borel (SBB) compactification of a locally Hermitian symmetric space to arbitrary period maps. A proper topological SBB-type completion has been constructed, and the problem of s ... Link to item Cite
