Analysis Seminar

Geometric flows and topology

Speaker: Bruce Kleiner, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences

Location: Warren Weaver Hall -- via Zoom, see link below

Date: Thursday, April 9, 2020, 11 a.m.

Synopsis:

The lecture will explain how one can apply geometric flows to prove
long-standing conjectures concerning the topology of diffeomorphism
groups and moduli spaces of Riemannian metrics.  This will be a
nontechnical colloquium style presentation.

 The zoom waiting room will open at 10:45.
