Gluing Constructions of Canonical Metrics
Fall 2018
The construction of solutions of geometric structures and geometric PDE on
manifolds is now pervasive in numerous areas of geometry. The most famous and still
ideal example is Taubes' construction of self-dual Yang-Mills instantons.
This course will be a tour through various instances of the gluing technique,
mainly restricted to geometric problems involving Riemannian metrics, especially
Einstein metrics.
