Title 幾何学連続講義 "Aspects of Quantitative topology - The bounded category, its extensions, analogues and applications"　
Field Geometry
SpeakersShmuel Weinberger
AffiliationUniversity of Chicago
AbstractThe bounded category of a discrete metric space is a basic object over
which to organize metric measurements; it is at the basis of
bounded topology and the theory of bounded propagation speed operators.
This lecture will introduce this category, and assert some
of the main technical theorems about it
(due to Quinn, Ferry-Pedersen, Roe, Yu and others)
and describe some of its applications within topology.
NoteThese lectures are based on the joint works with Nabutovsky, Ferry, Cappell, Yan, and/or Farb.
