An Einstein metric is, by definition, a Riemannian metric of constant Ricci curvature. This course is a continuation of MAT 645, and will continue our survey of current knowledge concerning the existence and uniqueness of Einstein metrics on smooth, compact manifolds. Last semester's lectures focused on dimensions 3 and 4. By contrast, this semester's lectures will emphasize results pertaining to higher dimensions.
The lectures presuppose a basic, core knowledge of Riemannian geometry, roughly at the level of MAT 568. Some familiarity with Kähler metrics, say at the level of MAT 545, is also desirable.
Grades will be based upon class participation.
