Title: On the volume spectrum in hyperbolic geometry

“The Green’s function and asymptotically flat manifolds, Part 2”
We will complete the discussion of Section 6 of the Lee/Parker paper on the Yamabe problem. All that remains is to prove Lemma 6.4, on the asymptotic expansion of the Green’s function for the box operator.

“Conservative constraints Part 4”
This is the 4th in a series of 6 lectures aiming to make sense of Andrei Bulatovs paper, Conservative constraint satisfaction re-revisited, J. Comput. Sys. Sci. 82 (2016), 347-356. This week: fixing the bugs in Lemma 3.5.

“Conformal Normal Coordinates”
We will prove the existence of conformal normal coordinates on a Riemannian manifold M and will show how that simplifies the local geometry on M more than the geodesic normal coordinates. We will also give important applications of conformal normal coordinates to the solution of the Yamabe problem.

“Conformal Normal Coordinates and Graham’s Theorem”
We will complete our discussion of Section 5 of the Lee/Parker paper on the Yamabe problem, including the proof of the Theorem of Robin Graham on the existence of conformal normal coordinates.

“The Decanter Method (III)”
Last week we saw how to prove that a K-trivial real cannot be Turing complete, but we made several simplifying assumptions that set constants equal to zero.
This week, we will show how to modify the construction we used to make it work when the constants are allowed to take on arbitrary values.

“Yamabe and the Jets”
First Anthony will complete the discussion of jets, differential operators, and the Peetre theorem. Then Spiro will discuss Section 5 of the Lee/Parker paper on the Yamabe prob- lem, focusing on theorem of Robin Graham that is a conformal analogue of the existence of Riemannian normal coordinates.

“Distribution of sums of two squares in intervals.”
We present a k-tuples conjecture for sums of two squares, and discuss its implications for the distribution of sums of two squares in intervals.

“An Introduction to Types”
Having defined various types of von Neumann algebras, we are ready to examine some of their structural properties. We shall see that every factor is exactly one of these five types.
