Differentialgeometrie im Grossen

Abstract

Over the past several decades, classical differential geometry has undergone a remarkable expansion, helped by the integration of tools and insights from neighboring fields like partial differential equations, complex analysis, and geometric topology. In keeping with the spirit of previous gatherings, this meeting aimed to bridge the gaps between researchers working in seemingly disparate subfields of differential geometry, illuminating the connections that unite them.

Amongst other things, this meeting was centered around the theme of scalar curvature, which has recently emerged as a fundamental element across various fields, including differential geometry, metric geometry, topology, and complex geometry. This shared topic presented an ideal opportunity for scholars from these distinct areas to convene, discuss their individual progress, and foster a vibrant exchange of ideas.
