- Chao Li: Geometric variational methods to (not only) scalar curvature problems
(11:00 am NYC, 17:00 Paris) - In this talk I will review the application of geometric variational problems (e.g. minimal surfaces) to the study of curvature conditions. I will start with the Schoen-Yau dimension descent approach to scalar curvature problems, and discuss recent extensions with applications to other curvature conditions.

(11:00 am NYC, 17:00 Paris) - Nelia Charalambous: On the L^p spectrum
(12:15 pm NYC, 18:15 Paris) - In this talk, we will show that the resolvent set of the Laplacian on $L^p$ integrable $k$-forms lies outside a parabola whenever the volume of the manifold has an exponential volume growth rate, removing the requirement on the manifold to be of bounded geometry. Moreover, we find sufficient conditions on an open Riemannian manifold so that a Weyl criterion holds for the $L^p$-spectrum of the Laplacian on $k$-forms, and we provide a detailed description of the $L^p$ spectrum of the Laplacian on $k$-forms over hyperbolic space. The above results are joint work with Zhiqin Lu. We will also see a recent result with Julie Rowlett for the $L^p$ spectrum of conformally compact manifolds.

Seminar Info
Each session will consist of two lectures: an introductory colloquium and a related seminar on a recent advance in geometry. Not all the talks will concern scalar curvature but perhaps many will. The pair of talks will be followed by a discussion both in person and online. Everyone is welcome to join the session live (zoom) or watch the recorded videos of the talks later (IHES channel).Zoom starts at 11:00 am NYC time:
