differential geometry at the Université libre de Bruxelles
There will be three events held consecutively in September 2016 to celebrate Nigel Hitchin’s 70th birthday.
You can find more information, including instructions for registration, at the webpage for Hitchin70.
There are various postdoctoral positions available in geometry at the University of Luxembourg. More details are below, in the original message from Jean-Marc Schlenker. [Read more…]
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.
Unfortunately, this talk is cancelled. Due to illness, Zakarias Dyrefelt is unable to come to Brussels. We hope to rearrange the seminar for another time.
The geometry seminar on Tuesday 29th March will be given by Zakarias Dyrefelt. The talk will take place at 2pm in the Salle de Profs. Zakarias’s title is “K-stability of constant scalar curvature Kähler manifolds” and his abstract follows. [Read more…]
