Pretalk: Schoen-Yau’s minimal slicing technique and its applications on the positive scalar curvature problem

Abstract: We introduce Schoen-Yau’s minimal slicing technique and their proof of Geroch conjecture in low dimensions.

Research talk: Capillary minimal slicing and scalar curvature rigidity in dimension 4

Abstract: We develop a capillary minimal slicing technique and use it to prove a scalar curvature rigidity result in dimension 4. This is a joint work with Dongyeong Ko.
