This is the graduate reading seminar in differential geometry / geometric PDEs. Students will give literature talks on a topic over the semester, with participation from the differential geometers in the department (Sean Paul, Alex Waldron, Ruobing Zhang, Sigurd Angenent).
The topic for Fall and Spring 2024 is Ricci flow. We will cover the fundamentals in the fall and try to get through most of Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture before the end of the year. We may also dip into the proof of Thurston's geometrization conjecture.
