Intense Activity Period
Metric Measure Spaces and Ricci Curvature
Date: September 4 - 29, 2017
Location: Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn
Organizer: Karl-Theodor Sturm
The program will feature 4 weeks of intense activity on metric measure spaces, Ricci
curvature, and related topics including heat kernels, Ricci flow, optimal transport,
geometric PDEs, stochastic calculus, path and loop spaces, Riemannian geometry,
discrete models. Each week will have 2 lecture series and 5-6 invited talks by leading
experts as well as room for contributed talks.
