Speaker:
Zhifei Zhu, Iowa State University
Topic:
Geometric inequalities on Riemannian manifolds with bounded Ricci curvature
Abstract:
I will discuss some upper bounds for the length of a shortest periodic geodesic, and the smallest area of a minimal integral varifold on closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension 4 with Ricci curvature between -1 and 1. These are the first bounds that use information about the Ricci curvature rather than sectional curvature of the manifold. (Joint with Nan Wu).
