Algebraic, topological and analytical techniques in differential geometry and geometric analysis

Abstract

The projets addresses several topics in differential geometry and geometric analysis, including: 1) group and groupoid actions in riemannian and pseudo-riemannian manifolds; 2) submanifold theory, minimal submanifolds and constant mean curvature hypersurfaces; 3) variational calculus and global analysis in riemannian, sub-riemannian and pseudo-riemannian geometry, with applications to general relativity; 4) Lusternik-Schnirelman Theory, Morse Theory; 5) geometric variational problems and PDEs on manifolds; 6) isometric immersions in riemannian and pseudo-riemannian manifolds; 7) geometric theory of foliations; 8) Lie groupoids and algebroids, Poisson and Dirac geometry, G-structures; 9) Finsler and pseudo-Finsler manifolds.
