Metric-F12

Metric Geometry Reading Seminar

Doctoral Students will be presenting their research and papers they are reading. Participants should have a strong knowledge of Gromov-Hausdorff and Intrinsic Flat Convergence as covered last Spring-Summer.

The organizer of this seminar is Professor Sormani.

The CUNY Graduate Center is located at 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street, diagonally across the street from the Empire State Building, just two blocks from Penn Station (NYC).
