[Insalate Di Matematica]

Dear all,

We remind you *today*'s appointment of the series of seminars "Insalate di
Matematica".
Here are the details:

*Speaker*: Letizia Branca (Università degli Studi di Milano)

*Date and time*: *30th of April 2025, 4:30 pm (CEST)*

*Title*: "Riemannian functionals and critical metrics in dimension four and
beyond"

*Abstract*: Many of the so-called canonical (or special) metrics arise as
critical points of suitable L^p-norms of the components of the Riemann
curvature tensor. This object encodes the geometry of the manifold and, in
dimension 4, it admits a peculiar decomposition. Throughout the talk, we
will explore some known results and open problems concerning Riemannian
functionals and critical metrics in dimension 4 and beyond. In particular
we will focus on optimal pinching results for Einstein manifolds.

*Keywords:* Riemannian functionals, canonical metrics, Einstein manifolds

*Information to attend in room 3014*
The seminar will take place in room 3014, at the building U5-Ratio,
Università degli Studi di Milano Bicocca.
