Curvature varifolds with orthogonal boundary | BIMSA Differential Geometry Semina
AbstractIn this lecture, we wil study contractible 3-manifolds and its relationship with positive scalarcurvature. For example, Whitehead manifold is a contractible 3-manifold, but not homomorphic to3-dimensional Euclidean space. We will give a proof that Whitehead manifold does not have a acomplete metric with positive scalar curvature.Lecture 1: We will focus on the construction of contractib...
