Learning Outcomes

The main task is to present the fundamental concepts of Riemannian geometry, i.e., the concepts of curvatures and differential form on manifolds with boundary. Moreover, we will introduce the notions of Riemannian submanifold and will investigate the Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci equations. The lecture will be completed with the presentation of the sphere theorem, a deep and important result that connects geometry with topology. On the completion of the course we expect that the student fully understand the main theorems that were presented during the lectures. |
