Geometric Analysis at the Freie Universität Berlin

Lectures and Seminars for Graduate and Undergraduate Students
Winter 2017-2018

IMPRS

The International Max-Planck Research School for Geometric Analysis, Gravitation and String Theory is a joint project of the Max-Planck-Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert-Einstein-Institute), Freie Universität Berlin (Institute for Mathematics) and Universität Potsdam.
The IMPRS aims to promote research in mathematical physics in an area related in the widest sense to Einstein's theory of general relativity, ranging from pure mathematics (differential geometry and the theory of partial differential equations) to the physics of black holes, gravitational waves and cosmological applications of Einstein's theory and all the way to the most recent efforts to reconcile Einstein's theory with quantum mechanics in the framework of superstring theory and M theory.

Our following seminars are recommended for post-graduates of the IMPRS:
- - Forschungsseminar Geometrische Analysis.
- - Topics in Geometric Analysis (AEI - FU - UP)

 

Lectures

V - Differentialgleichungen II - BMS (Ecker)

Inhalt:
This course will mainly deal with linear partial differential equations (PDE), and will build in particular on the material of the course on Differential Equations I as taught in the summer terms of 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. The content is a selection of the following:

V - Differentialgeometrie III - BMS (Afuni)

Inhalt:
This course shall be a continuation of Differential Geometry II as taught last semester. The goal shall be to work towards a better understanding of the differential geometric and analytic tools underpinning geometric variational problems arising from modern physical theories and differential geometric considerations, with a focus on gauge theory and spin geometry in particular. Depending on the audience and demand, we shall also consider geometric evolution equations that naturally arise in these settings.

Its content shall be a selection of the following topics:

Prerequisites: Differential geometry II
