Abstract: Ricci soliton arises naturally in the singularity analysis of the Ricci flow. Steady Ricci soliton is closely related to the Type II limit solution to the Ricci flow. There are two generic curvature decays for complete noncompact steady gradient Ricci soliton, namely linear and exponential decays. It is unclear if these are the only two possible decays. We show that this dichotomy holds for four dimensional complete noncompact non Ricci flat steady gradient Ricci soliton with at least linear curvature decay and proper potential function. A similar dichotomy is also shown in higher dimensions under the additional assumption that the Ricci curvature is nonnegative near infinity. As an application, we prove some classification results on steady soliton with fast curvature decay and obtain a dichotomy on the asymptotic geometry at spatial infinity. This talk is based on a joint work with Bo Zhu.

Title: Abstract: Given a $G$-invariant elliptic pseudodifferential operator on a compact Riemannian $G$-manifold $M$, we study its equivariant spectral invariants. I will explain the role of symplectic geometry in studying the $G$-equivariant spectrum. In particular, I will show how to apply symplectic techniques to study equivariant inverse spectral problems for $G$-invariant Schrodinger operators, the main tool being a generalized Legendre transform in the abelian case, and a generalized Legendre relation in the nonabelian case. This is based on joint works with V. Guillemin (MIT).

Speaker: Title: Brief Introduction to Genera and Applications.

Abstract: The cobordism invariants, genera, play fundamental roles in manifold topology. Some specific genera, like A-hat genus, L-genus, Witten genus and elliptic genus are the topological pillars of the Atiyah-Singer index theory, spin geometry and string geometry. In this minicourse, we will give a brief introduction to genera starting from very basic knowledge and introduce some applications of genera in physics in particular anomaly cancellation problem, and in geometry concerning group actions and curvatures.

Speaker: Title: Minimal graphs and related flows in warped product manifolds.

Abstract: In this talk we report our series of results on minimal graphs and related problems in warped product (WP) manifolds. Our motivation is to view WP manifolds as canonical manifolds in the certain sense. Then we introduce our results on minimal graphs, mean curvature flows, inverse mean curvature flows and two types of area minimizing problems in some WP manifolds. This includes of some recent works joint with Gao, Qiang.
