Abstract
I will try to give an accessible introduction to the ideas of quantitative K-theory for operator algebras, followed by some recent applications of this theory to differential geometry via index theory of elliptic operators. Part of this is joint work with Guoliang Yu and Zhizhang Xie.
Speaker Intro
Hao Guo obtained my PhD from the University of Adelaide in 2018 under Mathai Varghese and Hang Wang. Before coming to Tsinghua, he was a postdoc at Texas A&M working with Guoliang Yu. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Tsinghua University. His research is concerned with connections between operator algebras, geometry, topology, and group theory.
