What is a Manifold? Lesson 12: Fiber Bundles - Formal Description
This is a long lesson, but it is not full of rigorous proofs, it is just a formal definition. Please let me know where the exposition is unclear. I din't quite get through the idea of the structure group of a fiber bundle fully, but I introduced it. The examples in the next lesson will h

Metric space definition and examples. Welcome to the beautiful world of topology and analysis! In this video, I present the important concept of a metric space, and give 10 examples. The idea of a metric space is to generalize the concept of absolute values and distances to sets more gener

Introduction to Fiber Bundles part 1: Definitions
We give the definition of a fiber bundle with fiber F, trivializations and transition maps. This is a really basic stuff that we use a lot. Here are the topics this sets up: *Associated Bundles/Principal Bundles *Reductions of Structure Groups *Steenrod's Theorem *Torsor structure on arith

B. Berndtsson - The curvature of (higher) direct images
I will first discuss some earlier work on the curvature of direct images of adjoint line bundles under a smooth proper fibration, or more generally a surjective map and (maybe) some of its applications. Then I will present a general formula for the curvature of higher direct images. Th

Andrew Neitzke: On Hitchin’s hyperkähler metric on moduli spaces of Higgs bundles
Abstract: I will review a conjecture (joint work with Davide Gaiotto and Greg Moore) which gives a description of the hyperkähler metric on the moduli space of Higgs bundles, and recent joint work with David Dumas which has given evidence that the conjecture is true in the case of SL(2)-H

Rod Gover - An introduction to conformal geometry and tractor calculus (Part 1)
After recalling some features (and the value of) the invariant « Ricci calculus » of pseudo‐Riemannian geometry, we look at conformal rescaling from an elementary perspective. The idea of conformal covariance is visited and some covariant/invariant equations from physics are recovered in

This is a basic introduction to the idea of a metric space. I introduce the idea of a metric and a metric space framed within the context of R^n. I show that a particular distance function satisfies the conditions of being a metric.
