GH Convergence of Metric Spaces 2019

Winter Semester 2019

Dr. Demetre Kazaras

The CUNY Graduate Center is on 34th Street and Fifth Avenue (365 Fifth Avenue), and is an easy walk from the LIRR Penn Station and numerous subway stops. Bring id to show and sign in with the guards on arrival each day. Do not eat food in the classroom but you may bring lunch or buy it from the cafeteria during our lunch break.

Undergraduate students and masters students (who already have completed a course with metric spaces) will learn about pulled string spaces and conduct original research on the geometry of periodic pulled string spaces and their Gromov-Hausdorff limits at infinity. The completed research will be original and publishable.

Contact Professor Sormani if you would like to participate. (sormanic at gmail)
