Self-introduction
Hello! I'm Keita Goto, a postdoc at RIKEN iTHEMS, where I have been working as a Special Postdoctoral Researcher since March 2026.
My research focuses mainly on applications of Berkovich geometry to various problems in and around algebraic geometry. More specifically, I have so far been studying degenerations of Calabi--Yau manifolds, motivated by the Kontsevich--Soibelman conjecture, which suggests that certain correspondences arising in mirror symmetry can be understood through Berkovich geometry.
These days, I am particularly interested in degenerations of metrics and currents arising as solutions to certain PDEs on complex manifolds, viewed from the perspective of Berkovich geometry.
What especially fascinates me is the kind of phenomenon in which concepts arising in different frameworks turn out to correspond to one another.
For this reason, I would be very happy to interact with people from different backgrounds and broaden my perspective.
