Speaker: Apurva Nakade (Western)
Title: "Manifold Calculus and Gromov's h-principle"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: Embedding calculus is a homotopy theoretic technique for studying embedding spaces of manifolds. I will explain the general theory of embedding calculus and how the analytic approximation of the Lagrangian embeddings functor is the Totally Real embeddings functor, using Gromov's $h$-principle. Most of my talk will be homotopy theoretic and accessible to graduate students.
