Title: Non-Kahler Calabi-Yau Geometry I: A Crash Course

Abstract: My research is focused on the existence of special Hermitian metrics on complex manifolds. In this talk, I will introduce some of the basic concepts and objects involved in complex differential geometry: Kahler forms, the Levi-Civita connection, the Ricci form, and the first Chern class. Then, I will give a very quick account of Yau's theorem before pivoting to the problem of how such a result might be generalized to the non-Kahler setting.
