Title: Local Donaldson-Scaduto conjecture

Abstract: This talk is based on joint works with Gora Bera and Yang Li. Motivated by collapsing Calabi-Yau 3-folds and G2-manifolds with Lefschetz K3 fibrations in the adiabatic setting, Donaldson and Scaduto conjectured the existence and uniqueness of a special Lagrangian pair-of-pants in the Calabi-Yau 3-fold $ X \times \mathbb{C}$, where $X$ is either a hyperkähler K3 surface (global version) or an A2-type ALE hyperkähler 4-manifold (local version). After a brief introduction to the subject, we discuss the significance of this conjecture in the study of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and G2-manifolds, and then prove the local version of the conjecture.
