Submanifolds of Euclidean space with positive curvature

Geometry-Topology Seminar

Thursday, February 13, 2014 - 4:30pm

Location

University of Pennsylvania

DRL 4C8

School closed because of snow storm ... talk rescheduled for Feb 27.

We will first review work by A.Weinstein and D.Moore on codimension 2 submanifolds in Euclidean space with positive curvature. I will then present recent work, joint with L. Florit, on rigidity properties in the case of non- negative curvature. Finally I will discuss some conjectures in codimension 2 and 3.

Maps and Directions

We are about a 15 minute walk from the main 30th Street Station and 5 minutes from the University City Rail Station at 32nd and Spruce (=South Street & Convention Avenue). Coming from the airport by train (about 15 minutes): the University City Rail Station is the second stop after you leave the airport.

If you drive, the most convenient public parking is in the pay lot whose entrance is on 34th Street between Market and Chestnut Streets.
