| Abstract | I will describe several classical problems of topology (related to
homotopy, homeomorphism and isotopy of submanifolds) and discuss some
of the issues involved in making these results quantitative. In
particular, I plan to discuss the entropy of function spaces and its
role in some variational problems, and Lipschitz constants and some
remarkable conjectures of Gromov regarding them. |
