(9:30am-10:45am):

University

Waterloo
"Vertical
and
Horizontal
Spaces"
For
a
given
Riemannian
manifold
(M,g),
a
vector
bundle
E
over
M,
we
can
define
the
vertical
space
VE
which
is
a
submanifold
of
TE.
Given
a
connection
on
E
we
can
then
define
the
horizontal
space
HE
which
is
a
submanifold
of
TE.
These
spaces
give
us
a
fibre
metric
on
TE
and
then
we
can
look
at
the
Levi-Civita
connection
in
terms
of
these
vertical
and
horizontal
spaces.
Talk
#2
(11:00am-12:15pm):
Shengda
Hu,

Laurier
University
"Spinors
for
split
signature
pairing"
We
describe
some
explicit
constructions
of
spinor
modules
when
the
pairing
has
split
signature.
