CUNY Scalar Curvature Workshop 2018
January 24 - January 27 at the CUNY Graduate Center
Workshop for Research on Scalar Curvature
Organized by Prof Christina Sormani with Prof Dan Lee
Events in blue are for workshop teams conducting research on
Scalar Curvature and Intrinsic Flat Convergence only
Events in red are for the Dodziuk Festival which will be January 25-26
also at the CUNYGC. Everyone that would like to attend the red events
should register for that conference here. Sormani is not an organizer
of that event but is one of the speakers.
Events in blue may only be attended by the invited participants of the Scalar
Curvature Workshop (listed below) all of whom promise not to use each others
ideas without permission, acknowledgement or coauthorship. Any teams who
wish to arrive early and work on Tuesday as well should just let Christina Sormani
know if they need a room to work
