• Benjamin McMillan, The Range of the Killing Operator

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Benjamin McMillan IBS-CCG The Killing operator in (semi) Riemannian geometry has well understood kernel: the infinitesimal symmetries of a given metric. At the next level, the range of the Killing operator can be interpreted as those perturbations of the metric that result from a mere change of coordinates---in contexts like general relativity,

  • Benjamin McMillan, Secondary Characteristic classes and Chern-Weil theory of (Haefliger) singular foliations I

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Complex Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Benjamin McMillan IBS CCG Foliations have a theory of characteristic classes that is much like that of vector bundles, but with notable differences. Some of the characteristic classes of a foliation come from its induced normal bundle, but there are additional secondary classes that depend on more detailed information about the foliation.
