Title:Formal Lie groups
Abstract:Motivated by applications to representation theory of Lie groups, we study formal manifolds, in the setting of differential geometry. In this talk, we will give a brief introduction to formal manifolds. Then we will introduce and study a notion of what we call formal Lie groups, which can be thought of an analogue of formal groups in the setting of differential geometry.
