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
