Title: Systolic inequalities and the Horowitz-Myers conjecture

Abstract: Let $n$ be an integer with $3 \leq n \leq 7$, and let $g$ be a Riemannian metric on $B^2 \times T^{n-2}$ with scalar curvature at least $-n(n-1)$. We establish an inequality relating the systole of the boundary to the infimum of the mean curvature on the boundary. As a consequence, we obtain a new positive energy theorem where equality holds for the Horowitz-Myers metrics. This is joint work with Pei-Ken Hung.

Title: From almost smooth spaces to RCD spaces

Abstract: We provide various characterizations for a given almost smooth space to be an RCD space, in terms of a local volume doubling and a local Poincaré inequality. Applications include a characterization of Einstein 4-orbifolds. This talks is based on a joint work with Song Sun (Zhejiang University).
