报告摘要:This will a survey talk of some recent development in conformal geometry. In this talk, conformal refers to the "angle preserving" property. In a Riemannian manifold M with a metric g, the conformal class [g] of g denotes the module space of such metrics ĝ=p2g by smooth functions p in M. One of the main goal in conformal geometry is to study geometric quantities which are invariant in [g] in either pointwise or integral sense together with their geometric and topological implications. In the talk, topics I will cover include:
Fractional GJMS operators introduced by Graham-Zworski on boundary of asymptotic hyperbolic manifolds via the scattering theory. Among the class of non-local conformal invariants thus introduced, I will report recent progress made on the study of "Renormalized Volume".
As another application, Iwill also report on progress made on a related problem of finding "conformal flling in" in ADS/CFT theory. Given a manifold (Mn,h), when is it the boundary of a conformally compact Einstein manifold (Xn+1,g), in the sense that there exists some defining function p on X so that p2g is compact on the closure of X and p2g restricted to M is the given metric h? The model example is the n-sphere as the conformal infinity of the hyperbolic (n+1) ball. I will discuss the compactness, existence and uniqueness aspects of the problem.
