Manifolds With Density
- Date: 09/25/2008
- Time: 14:00
Lecturer(s):
Dr. Frank Morgan, (Williams College, USA) PIMS Distinguished Visitor, Geometry & Harmonic Analysis Collaborative Research Group
Location:
University of Calgary
Topic:
The idea of putting a density on a manifold has appeared throughout mathematics, recently in Perelman's paper on the Poincaré Conjecture. The prime example is Gauss space: R^n with Gaussian density. Despite interesting progress, the geometry of manifolds with density remains largely unexplored.
