Description
Starter project 2019 11 25 12.18.26
The spatial Schwarzschild space with minimal surface boundary foliated by the inverse mean curvature flow
This workshop will include introductory lectures on each of the four main topics of the program: geometric flows, geometric problems in mathematical relativity, global Riemannian geometry, and minimal submanifolds. The workshop will also have semi-expository lectures on recent advances and breakthroughs involving interactions between the four main topics. This will set the stage and provide important context for the semester-long program itself.
