The classical Yamabe problem asks to find in a given conformal class a metric of constant scalar curvature. In fully nonlinear analogues, the scalar curvature is replaced by certain functions of the eigenvalue of the Schouten curvature tensor. I will report on quantitative Liouville theorems and fine blow-up analysis for these problems. Joint work with Yanyan Li.
 

In 1924, James W. Alexander constructed a 2-sphere in R3 that is not ambiently homeomorphic to the standard 2-sphere, which demonstrated the failure of the Schoenflies theorem in higher dimensions. I will describe the construction of the Alexander horned sphere and the Antoine necklace and describe some of their properties.

Since the symmetric group is a finite group it’s representation theory is not too complex, however in this special case we can realise these representations in a particular nice combinatorial way using young tableaux and young symmetrizers. I will introduce these ideas and use them to describe the representation theory of Sn over the complex numbers.

in this talk I will try to introduce some key ideas and concepts about random walks on discrete spaces, with special interest on random walks on Cayley graphs.
