Títol: Geometric analysis under integral curvature conditions.
Resum: Curvature is a local property. However, assumptions on curvature have implications on global quantities, like the diameter, the eigenvalues of the Laplacian or topological invariants. An $n$-manifold with Ricci curvature larger than $(n-1)K$ can not have a diameter larger than the one of the $n$-sphere with constant sectional curvature $K$. Similarly, the first non-zero eigenvalue of such a manifold can not be smaller than the one of the sphere. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in weakening the curvature assumptions from pointwise lower bounds to integral conditions. Integral conditions are much more general, they are more stable under perturbations of the metric, and can be more suitable for the study of geometric flows. We will discuss some classical and recent results in the fields of geometric analysis and comparison geometry with integral curvature conditions.
