Mathematical Application Research Team Meeting #14

Mathematical Application Research Team is honored to invite Prof. Shin-ichi Ohta from the University of Osaka to this meeting. Everyone is welcome to join the meeting to listen to his seminar.

Title: Synthetic and comparison Lorentzian geometry

Abstract: In this talk we review recent developments of synthetic geometric approaches to Lorentzian geometry, motivated by the theory of less regular spacetimes in general relativity as well as comparison geometry in the Riemannian setting. Among others, optimal transport theory plays a vital role.
