Title: Index theory and scalar curvature

Abstract: The study of scalar curvature plays a central role in Riemannian geometry. In the last decade, Gromov has put forward a wide range of conjectures and open questions, which have led to some exciting new developments in the field. In this talk, I will present some notable advancements in recent research on scalar curvature and discuss promising directions for future exploration.
