| Title: | Geometry of Ricci solitons |
| Abstract: | Ricci solitons are extensions of Einstein metrics. They are special solutions to Hamilton's Ricci flow, and arise as singularity models in the Ricci flow. In this talk I will survey recent developments on the subject and present some classification results. |
