DESCRIPTION:The seminal paper of Harvey and Lawson 'Calibrated
  Geometries' was published in the early 1980s. Mot
 ivated by Kähler manifolds (a certain class of com
 plex manifold) they define what it means to be a c
 alibrated submanifold\, which has the desirable pr
 operty of being volume minimising in its homology 
 class. With links to special holonomy and complex 
 geometry and also such physical theories as string
  theory and M-theory\, the field has received much
  attention from mathematicians over the years. \n\
 nIn this talk I hope to introduce you to calibrate
 d geometry\, with motivating examples. Time permit
 ting\, I will go on to discuss some highlights of 
 work in the field\, and perhaps talk briefly about
  my own research.\n
