Research Group Group Actions, Geometric Structures, and Smooth Dynamics

Rigidity and flexibility

Members of our group study actions of groups on manifolds which are large, complicated, or have strong dynamics. In this way we make progress on longstanding classification and rigidity problems.

Our activities

Our research activities centre around
– differential-geometric aspects of rigidity 
– smooth dynamics 
– Lorentzian geometry 
– conformal pseudo-Riemannian geometry and parabolic Cartan geometries in general
