Roberto Araujo (Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences) – Homogeneous Ricci flows and the dynamical Alekseevskii conjecture

Notes: Note the unusual room and day.

A fundamental problem in differential geometry is understanding the constraints that the topology of a manifold imposes on its geometry. In this direction, the dynamical Alekseevskii conjecture states that if the universal cover of a homogeneous space is not contractible, then every […]
