Join us for a Colloquium with Elia Bruè of Bocconi University (Milan) on Ricci Curvature, Fundamental Groups, and Milnor’s Conjecture.
Description
The interplay between Ricci curvature and topology is a central theme in geometric analysis. After a broad introduction, I will focus on the fundamental groups of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below, with particular emphasis on Milnor's 1968 conjecture and its first counterexample, developed in collaboration with Naber and Semola.
