McGill University Geometric Analysis Workshop 2018

Organizers: Prof. Robert Haslhofer, Dr. Rohit Jain, Dr. Christian Ketterer, and Prof. Christina Sormani

July 23-27, 2018

This is a closed workshop: a reunion of the Research Teams in Scalar Curvature and Intrinsic Flat Convergence from the Fields Institute Summer School on Geometric Analysis so that we may present our partial results and complete our projects on intrinsic flat convergence. Talks with “Status” in the title are work in progress.

We plan to meet during the International Congress of Mathematical Physics July 23-27, 2018. Please register for that conference. Our teams will attend talks in General Relativity at the ICMP. Funding available for our workshop covers arrival July 22 and departure July 27. The ICMP has links for local hotels that are very affordable. The ICMP provided this link for local food and this guidebook including maps and other local info.

Armando Cabrera (Almost Rigidity of Graph Tori Team, will speak)
