The graduate reading seminar in differential geometry / geometric analysis meets Tuesdays 4-6pm in Van Vleck B211. Students will give literature talks over the semester with participation by several faculty (Sean Paul, Alex Waldron, Ruobing Zhang, and Sigurd Angenent).
The topic for Fall 2024 is Ricci flow. We will cover the fundamentals in the fall and try to get through most of Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture before the end of the year. We may also dip into the proof of Thurston's geometrization conjecture.
