Regularity of manifolds with bounded Ricci curvature and the codimension 4 conjecture

-
Jeff Cheeger, NYU

This talk will concern joint work with Aaron Naber on the regularity of noncollapsed Riemannian manifolds Mn with bounded Ricci curvature |RicMn|n1, as well as their Gromov-Hausdorff limit spaces, (Mnj,dj)dGH(X,d), where dj denotes the Riemannian distance. We will explain a proof of the conjecture that X is smooth away from a closed subset of  codimension 4. By combining this with the ideas of quantitative stratification, we obtain a priori Lq estimates on the full curvature tensor, for all q0, $
