Speaker: Michael Gerapetritis

Abstract:

Given a smooth manifold, one could consider various geometric-analytic decorations, and how their existence and behavior gives constraints on the topology/geometry of the manifold, e.g. symplectic, complex, Riemannian structures. In this talk we will refrain from speaking about global geometry of manifolds, and instead we will focus on the linear algebraic analogue of such structures on vector spaces.
