Richard Schoen (Stanford University)Abstract
We will discuss the geometric problem of classification of compact Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature. In particular, we will describe our recent classification of pointwise 1/4-pinched manifolds. The work is joint with Simon Brendle and employs the Ricci flow.
