Okay, don't worry, it won't be a regular feature, but in an otherwise somewhat dull Bulletin here is one of the 'Shorts' on our YouTube Channel from our Nobel Prize winner. Shorts are going rather well. 'Longs' are also okay though.

Cohomogeneity one Ricci solitons and Hamiltonian formalism

Qiu Shi Wang
( Oxford)
Abstract
A Riemannian manifold is said to be of cohomogeneity one if there is a Lie group acting on it by isometries with principal orbits of codimension one. On such manifolds, the Ricci soliton equation simplifies to a system of ODEs, which can be considered as a Hamiltonian system. Various conserved quantities, such as superpotentials, can then be defined to find cases in which the system is explicitly integrable.

There is a considerable body of work, primarily due to A. Dancer and M. Wang, on the analogous procedure for the Einstein equation.

In this talk, I will introduce the abovementioned methods and illustrate with examples their usefulness in finding explicit formulae for Ricci solitons. I will also discuss the classification of superpotentials.
