Prof. Jun Zhang, graduated and received his BS degree from Wuhan University in China, and earned his Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. After a postdoctoral experience in biophysics at Rockefeller University, he came to NYU and started building the Applied Math Lab at the Courant Institute and later he became a faculty member (physics and math) there. His research interest has been in the field of physics of fluids and complex systems, which includes biomechanics or bio-locomotion (organismal swimming and flying), geophysical fluids (thermal convection, continental dynamics, and erosion), solid-on-solid friction, urban heat-island effect, and self-organization phenomena at many different scales.

Title: Almost splitting and quantitative stratification for super Ricci flow

Abstract:

I will discuss almost rigidity properties of super Ricci flow whose Muller quantity is non-negative.
I will present almost splitting and quantitative stratification theorems that have been established by Bamler for Ricci flow. This talk is based on the joint work with Keita Kunikawa (Tokushima university).
