Differential Geometry at Duke
Several of the faculty at Duke use geometric methods to study:
- the geometry and arithmetic of algebraic varieties;
- the geometry of singularities;
- general relativity and gravitational lensing
- exterior differential systems;
- the geometry of PDE and conservation laws;
- geometric analysis and Lie groups;
- modular forms;
- control theory and Finsler geometry;
- index theory;
- symplectic and contact geometry
The geometers participate in the
geometry/topology seminar.
