Analysis on path space, Einstein metrics and Ricci flow Haslhofer, Robert

Description

I will survey how analysis on path space can be used in the study Ricci curvature. As a motivation, I will start by discussing Driverâ s foundational work on quasi-invariance and integration by parts on path space. Next, I will discuss joint work with Aaron Naber, which characterizes solutions of the Einstein equations and the Ricci flow in terms of certain sharp estimates on path space. In particular, this motivates a notion of weak solutions. Finally, I will mention joint work with Beomjun Choi, where we prove that noncollapsed limits are indeed weak solutions.
