<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">In this talk I will present some
results from project with J. Streets (UC-Irvine), in which we define a formal
Riemannian metric on the set of metrics in a conformal class with positive (or
negative) curvature. In the case of surfaces, this metric has many interesting
formal properties; for example the curvature is nonpositive and the Liouville
energy is geodesically convex.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">I will then talk about extensions to
higher dimensions, especially 4-d, in which this construction has some
interesting applications to the fully nonlinear Yamabe problem.</span></i><b><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"></span></i></b></p>
