Frieder Jäckel to speak in geometry seminar 10/03/25

Frieder Jäckel (Bonn) will talk in the geometry seminar on 10th March, at 2pm in the Salles des Profs (9th floor building NO). Frieder’s title is “The pressure metric on quasi-Fuchsian space” and his abstract is below. Frieder has also kindly agreed to give a “pre-talk” explaining some of the background. This will take place on 10th March at 10am in the Salle Debever (7th floor building NO). The pre-talk title is “A first glimpse into Teichmüller theory and hyperbolic dynamics” and the abstract for that is also below.

Sebastian Boldt to speak in geometry seminar 10/02/2025

Sebastian Boldt (Chemnitz) will speak in the geometry seminar at 2pm on Monday 10th February, in the Salle des Profs (9th floor of building NO). Sebastian’s title is “The normal injectivity radius of a hypersurface” and his abstract is below.

We present a pointwise lower estimate of the normal radius of an embedded hypersurface in an arbitrary Riemannian manifold. The key ingredient to this result is a new two-sided radial angle comparison theorem. As an application we construct metrics of bounded geometry on manifolds with boundary.
