Nonnegative Ricci curvature and virtual abelianness in dimensions less than 12
Jiayin Pan (潘佳垠)
I am an Assistant Professor at Department of Mathematics, University of California, Santa Cruz.
I work in Riemannian geometry; more precisely, the interplay between Ricci curvature and topology, (equivariant) Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, and Ricci limit spaces. I am also interested in sectional curvature, Lorentzian geometry, and subRiemannian geometry.
I received my Ph.D. degree in 2018 from Rutgers University - New Brunswick, advised by Xiaochun Rong. Before coming to UC Santa Cruz, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at UC Santa Barbara during AY 18-21, and a Fields Postdoctoral Fellow at Fields Institute during AY 21-22.
