Mostow rigidity theorem

In mathematics, Mostow's rigidity theorem, or strong rigidity theorem, or Mostow–Prasad rigidity theorem, essentially states that the geometry of a complete, finite-volume hyperbolic manifold of dimension greater than two is determined by the fundamental group and hence unique. The theorem was proven for closed manifolds by Mostow and extended to finite volume manifolds by in 3 dimensions, and by Prasad in all dimensions at least 3. gave an alternate proof using the Gromov norm. gave the simplest available proof. While the theorem shows that the deformation space of (complete) hyperbolic structures on a finite volume hyperbolic -manifold (for ) is a point, for a hyperbolic surface of genus there is a moduli space of dimension that parameterizes all metrics of constant curvature (up to diffeomorphism), a fact essential for Teichmüller theory. There is also a rich theory of deformation spaces of hyperbolic structures on infinite volume manifolds in three dimensions. (Wikipedia).

Louis Theran: Rigidity of Random Graphs in Higher Dimensions

I will discuss rigidity properties of binomial random graphs G(n,p(n)) in fixed dimension d and some related problems in low-rank matrix completion. The threshold for rigidity is p(n) = Θ(log n / n), which is within a multiplicative constant of optimal. This talk is based on joint work wi

Abstract: Given an algebraic variety defined by a set of equations, an upper bound for its dimension at one point is given by the dimension of the Zariski tangent space. The infinitesimal deformations of a variety X play a somehow similar role, they yield the Zariski tangent space at the
