Lower Ricci working group, talk 6

On 30th March, 10:30-11:30, in the Salle de Profs, Bruno will give the 6th talk in our working group on manifolds with lower bounds on Ricci curvature. He will describe some of the following topics, from Chapter 9 of Cheeger’s notes: almost volume cones and almost metric cones, Reifenberg’s method, tangent cones at infinity.

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.
