MATH 6240 - Differential Geometry 2 - Fall 2017

Presentations

Everyone will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation (with a 5 minute question period afterward). Your overall grade will be based on this. A list of topics, and who is giving the presentation, is below.

  • Spheres and Hyperbolic Spaces: André Davis and Naiche Downey
  • Hopf-Rinow Theorem: Mason Pelfrey and Carlos Pinilla Suarez
  • Gauss-Bonnet Theorem: Andrew Stocker and Michael Wheeler
  • Riemannian Manifolds of Constant Curvature: Joel Ornstein
  • Spin Manifolds and Stiefel-Whitney Classes: Robert Hines and Yu Wang
  • Fredholm Operators, Sobolev Spaces, and Dirac Operators*: Suzanne Craig and Matthew Pierson
  • Heat Kernels and the Heat Equation*: Albany Thompson

* What these projects would be exactly is not well-formed in Jordan's mind. They are subject to possible deletion, modification, whatever!
