On homogeneous spaces, solutions to the prescribed Ricci curvature equation coincide with the critical points of the scalar curvature functional subject to a constraint. We provide a complete description of Palais--Smale sequences for this functional. As an application, we obtain new existence results for the prescribed Ricci curvature equation, which enables us to observe previously unseen phenomena. Joint work with Wolfgang Ziller (University of Pennsylvania).

Feeling the winter blues setting in? Come and chill out with us and do some crafts.

We will be joined by people with mentoring experience to discuss the importance of both having and being a good mentor.

We will have a Q&A with a panel of academics and industry experts on applying to jobs both in and out of academia.

Come and meet the Mathematrix committee and find out more about what the society is for and what events we are putting on this term. There will be free pizza!
