Abstract: This talk will focus on some metric invariants of Riemannian manifolds, which were introduced by Gromov in the 1980s. I will first introduce several metric invariants of Riemannian manifolds and then explore its connection with curvature on manifolds. After that, I will talk about our recent progress on Llarull rigidity theorem on four-dimensional manifolds.
