| Abstract |
A lot of definitions in mathematics are local.
Examples include continuity of a function at a point, curvature of Riemannian manifold (at a point), etc.
One then has various theorems that relate "local" behaviour of a given object to its global behaviour.
Gauss-Bonnet Theorem in differential geometry is one such example.
In this introductory and expository talk, we will walk through a few such examples. After the initial motivation, we will focus on a couple of examples to illustrate the local global principle in number theory. |
