Mathematical Conversations

Symmetry and Regularity in Geometry

We will give a hopefully light hearted introduction to the behavior of some geometrically motivated equations, mostly in the context of examples and broad discussion of Einstein manifolds (though our story has counterparts in many areas). A theme will be that solutions desperately want to be symmetric, and this desire is the key to control.
