Speaker: Guoliang Yu, Texas A&M University
Title: "Index theory of the Dirac operator on manifolds with polyhedral boundary and its applications"
Abstract: I will introduce a new index theory for Dirac operators on manifolds with polyhedral boundary and discuss how this theory can be applied to solve Gromov's dihedral extremality conjecture on scalar curvature. This is joint work with Jinmin Wang and Zhizhang Xie. This talk will be accessible to non-experts including graduate students.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
