Introduction

This course is an introduction to the convergence and collapsing theory of Riemannian manifolds, which is an important tool in Riemannian geometry. We shall introduce the Gromov-Hausdorff distance and study the convergence theory of Riemannian manifolds with respect to this distance. We will discuss the collapsing theory of Riemannian manifolds with bounded sectional curvatures.

Lecturer Intro

Dr. Pengyu Le graduated from ETH Zürich in 2018, then became a Van Loo postdoctoral fellow in University of Michigan. He joined BIMSA as an assistant research fellow in 2021. His research interest lies in differential geometry and general relativity.

Introduction to Geometric Langlands Theory
Description:We will give an introduction course to the research field called Geometric Langlands Theory (GLT).Roughly speaking, GLT is the analogue of the classical Number-theoretical Langlands Theory under the function field analogy, but the mathematical structures studied in GLT are often “1-categorical level higher” than its number-theoretical counterpart. Typical such structures include: ...

An introduction to height theory
IntroductionThe notion of height was invented by André Weil to prove the famous Mordell's conjecture (if A is an abelian variety defined over a number field K, then A(K) is a finitely generated abelian group). In this class, we will study some properties of the logarithmic, absolute Weil height. We will also discuss about open problems related to this useful tool. At the end, we will construct ...
