Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi (1541-1628), the “second Pir” (pir-i sani) of the Celvetiyye Sufi-order, is a famous Sufi saint in Istanbul. His mausoleum (türbe) on the slope of a hill in Üsküdar has not

It has become clear in recent years that to understand mean curvature flow through singularities it is essential to work with weak solutions to mean curvature flow. We will give a brief

Mean curvature flow is the gradient flow of the area functional and constitutes a natural geometric heat equation on the space of hypersurfaces in an ambient Riemannian manifold. It is believed,
We study the noncollapsed singularity formation of Einstein 4-manifolds. We prove that any smooth Einstein 4-manifold close to a singular one in a mere Gromov-Hausdorff (GH) sense is the result
Given a closed and oriented manifold M and Riemannian tensors g0, g1, ... on M that satisfy g0 < gj, vol(M, gj)→vol (M, g0) and diam(M, gj)≤D we will see that (M, gj) converges to (M, g0) in the
The theory of non smooth spaces with lower Ricci Curvature bounds has undergone huge developments in the last thirty years. On the one hand the impetus came from Gromov’s precompactness theorem
