As you might already know, the Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge has been approved and is planned to come into effect on Wednesday, 29 October 2025. There are various permits available.

Maybe one of you can create the shortest route to avoid all the charge zones. Or the shortest way to drive them all...

Nearly G2-structures and G2-Laplacian co-flows

Jakob Stein
(State University of Campinas and University of Oxford)
Abstract

Nearly $G_2$-structures in dimension seven are, up to scaling, critical points of a geometric flow called (modified) Laplacian co-flow. Moreover, since nearly $G_2$-structures define Einstein metrics, they can also be associated to critical points of the volume-normalised Ricci flow. In this talk, we will discuss a recent joint work with Jason Lotay, showing that many of these nearly $G_2$ critical points are unstable for the modified co-flow, and giving a lower bound on the index.
