Sebastiano Nicolussi Golo - Sub-Riemannian Geometry Is Everywhere! (TSVP Talk at OIST)
Channel: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)
Date: 2022-10-03

Dr. Sebastiano Nicolussi Golo is visiting OIST from 2022/08/05 until 2022/10/31 through the "Theoretical Sciences Visiting Program" (TSVP). Find out more about the TSVP on the program website: https://groups.oist.jp/tsvp.

Abstract: You may never have heard of sub-Riemannian geometry, but you have already seen it. Beside the many appearances in abstract mathematics (in hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, theory of hypoelliptic operators), numerous models of physical processes are based on sub-Riemannian geometry, from robotics to neural networks. In my talk, I will present a list of models with the goal of teaching you to recognize sub-Riemannian geometry. If you think that your research might contain another application, please contact me: I am looking forward to talk with you!         
                                                     
Profile: Sebastiano Nicolussi Golo is a postdoc in mathematics at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland (EU). He works on the interface between metric analysis and Lie group theory. He has worked in sub-Riemannian geometry and later he expanded his interests to geometric measure theory on Lie groups equipped with non-Riemannian distances. He completed his Ph.D. from the University of Jyväskylä in 2017.
