Details about the seminar
This is the graduate reading seminar in differential geometry / geometric analysis. Students will be assigned to give literature talks on a topic over the semester, with some faculty attendance.
The topic for Fall and Spring 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.
Who to contact with questions: Alex Waldron
Meeting time: Tuesday 4-6pm
Meeting location: Van Vleck B211
