Lower Ricci working group, talk 5, 9th March

On 9th March, at the earlier time than normal of 10h-12h, but in the usual location, the Salle de Profs, Michael Khanevsky will give the fifth talk in our working group on manifolds with lower bounds on Ricci curvature. Michael will discuss the almost splitting theorem.

Getting here

The department of mathematics is in building NO, on the Campus de la Plaine, of the Université libre de Bruxelles. The geometry group is on the 7th floor. This map shows NO, as well as the metro station Delta and entrance 2, which is right by the stop for the number 71 and 72 buses. The number 95 also stops a short walk from the department. See the STIB website for more information on public transport in Brussels.
