Seminar on geometric analysis will take place on April 7 in a mixed format

The seminar will be held at 4:20 pm (UTC+7) in a mixed format: meetings are held in person in the foyer of the conference hall of the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics SB RAS and are broadcast on Google Meet platform via the link .

Alexandr V. Greshnov (Doctor of sciences, Sobolev Institute of Mathematics SB RAS, NSU) will give a talk "On Connectivity of points in Carnot groups with horizontal polygonal chain".

A horizontal k-polygonal chain on a Carnot group is the union of a finite number k of segments Ii, i = 1, ..., k, of integral lines of horizontal vector fields that are linear combinations of basic left-invariant horizontal vector fields of the Carnot group under consideration (links of a horizontal polygonal chain). In this case, the end of the link Ii is the beginning of the link Ii + 1 for i = 1, ..., k-1. It is known that for every Carnot group G there is a number KG such that any two points of G can be connected by a horizontal k-polygonal chain, where k ≤ KG. Our talk is devoted to finding the minimum number KG or estimate it on specific 2- and 3-step Carnot groups.

Please pay attention to the following rules of attending the online seminar:
  • As a security measure, it is highly advisable to connect using your real name. 
  • You are free to join the discussion after the end of the report. However, during the report please keep your microphone turned off. 
  • For the convenience of the speaker, we recommend writing your questions in the chat in advance.
