Geometric flows and mathematical general relativity

-

On March 15 2023 (Wednesday), March 22 2023 (Wednesday) and March 29 2023 (Wednesday),  Prof. Gerhard Huisken (MFO Oberwolfach, Universitat Tübingen) will be giving the Gordon lectures at the Einstein institute, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The talks will concern with the topics of geometric flows and mathematical general relativity. Surrounding his talks, there will be three one-day workshops, about the general theme of geometric analysis, differential geometry and mathematical general relativity.  There will also be other research activities throughout Prof. Huisken’s visit.
