Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar will provide an introduction to comparison geometry, a very active sub-field of (semi-)Riemannian geometry that uses upper or lower bounds on curvature to derive bounds on other geometric quantities such as lengths of tangent vectors, distances, and volumes and has important applications in geometry and mathematical physics.

Assessment and permitted materials

Giving a talk and actively participating in the discussions during the seminar.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
