Invariant Einstein Metrics of Cohomogeneity One with Principal Orbits as Wallach Spaces

Abstract:

A Riemannian manifold (M, g) is Einstein if its Ricci tensor is a constant multiple of g. With its charm and influence in both mathematics and physics, the subject of Einstein metrics draws a great amount of attention from both communities. In this talk, we give an introduction to Einstein metrics of cohomogeneity one. Its construction reduces the Einstein equations to a system of ODEs. Then we introduce some new examples. They are vector bundles M whose principal orbit G/K are Wallach spaces. On each M, we found a 1-parameter continuous family of Ricci-flat metrics and a 2-parameter continuous family of negative Einstein metrics. In particular, the complete metric with G2 holonomy discovered by Robert Bryant and Simon Salamon is recovered in the construction.

A General Framework for the Semantics of Type Theory


Abstract:
We propose an abstract notion of a type theory to unify the CwF-semantics of various type theories including Martin-Löf type theory, two-level type theory and cubical type theory. For each type theory, we establish a correspondence between theories and CwF-models: every theory generates a syntactic model; every model has an internal language.

Cartesian fibrations of (oo,2)-categories

Abstract:
The problem of dealing with infinitely many coherence constraints in oo-category theory when trying to define oo-functors has lead to a fibrational approach, in which one represents diagrams of the form B-->Cat_oo as a suitable kinds of fibrations over B. While this is a theorem, due to Lurie, in the case of oo-categories (i.e. (oo,1)-categories), so far there has been no combinatorial definition of a cartesian fibration of (oo,2)-categories.

In this talk, I will define cartesian fibrations in this context, prove some of their basic properties and show they are equivalent (under a suitable equivalence of (oo,2)-categories) to the counterpart in the context of categories enriched over marked simplicial sets (where the definition is given, mutatis mutandis, based on what happens with 2-categories). Furthermore, I will prove some statements made by Gaitsgory and Rozemblyum concerning locally cartesian fibrations and (oo,2)-categories fibred over (oo,1)-categories, thus substantiating the validity of our definition.

From Univalence to descent via "split indexed quasi-categories", part 2


Abstract:
In the last talk I sketched the definitions of univalent fibrations, complete Segal spaces and Grothendieck infinity-toposes.
On Thursday we will continue where we left off and relate these notions to one another, and, in that light, revisit the weak equivalence extension property and the fibration extension property of model categories.
