Abstract: 

Given a pair of metric tensors gj≥g0 on a Riemannian manifold, M, it is well known that
Volj(M)≥Vol0(M). Furthermore, the volumes are equal if and only if the metric tensors
are the same gj=g0. Here we prove that if for a sequence gj, we have gj≥g0,
Volj(M)→Vol0(M) and diam(Mj) \leq D then (M,gj) converges to (M,g0) in the volume
preserving intrinsic flat sense. This theorem will then be applied to prove stability of a class
of tori. This talk is be based
on joint work of myself with: Allen and Sormani (https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.01172), and
Cabrera Pacheco and Ketterer (https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.03458).
