Title: Invariants: a perspective for mathematical and numerical relativity
Abstract: Curvature invariants have long been a focus of the mathematical classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian geometries, but have been outside of the primary interest in numerical and mathematical relativity. I will discuss how invariants could help with some interesting questions in those areas that would be difficult to answer in other ways.
