A. Song - What is the (essential) minimal volume? 3
I will discuss the notion of minimal volume and some of its variants. The minimal volume of a manifold is defined as the infimum of the volume over all metrics with sectional curvature between -1 and 1. Such an invariant is closely related to "collapsing theory", a far reaching set of resu

Bertrand Eynard - An overview of the topological recursion
The "topological recursion" defines a double family of "invariants" $W_{g,n}$ associated to a "spectral curve" (which we shall define). The invariants $W_{g,n}$ are meromorphic $n$-forms defined by a universal recursion relation on $|\chi|=2g-2+n$, the initial terms $W_{0,1}$

Contact invariants in sutured monopole and instanton homology - Steven Sivek
Steven Sivek University of Warwick March 5, 2014 Kronheimer and Mrowka recently used monopole Floer homology to define an invariant of sutured manifolds, following work of Juhász in Heegaard Floer homology. In this talk, I will construct an invariant of a contact structure on a 3-manifold

Claude LeBrun - Yamabe invariants, Weyl curvature, and the differential topology of 4-manifolds
The behavior of the Yamabe invariant, as defined in Bernd Ammann’s previous lecture, differs strangely in dimension 4 from what is seen in any other dimension. These peculiarities not only manifest themselves in the context of the usual scalar curvature, but also occur in connection with

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
