Min-max Theory and Geometry I
Le vendredi 20 mars 2015, 16h00 / Friday, March 20, 2015, 4 p.m.
Cette conférence s'adresse à un large auditoire.
This lecture is aimed at a general mathematical audience.
I will survey my recent work with Fernando C. Marques, where we used Min-max Theory to solve some long standing open questions in geometry.
RÉCEPTION / RECEPTION
Une réception suivra la conférence au Salon Maurice-l'Abbé Pavillon André-Aisenstadt (Salle 6245).
A reception will follow the lecture at the Salon Maurice-L'Abbé, Pavillon André-Aisenstadt (room 6245).
Min-max Theory and Geometry II
Le lundi 23 mars 2015, 16h00 / Monday, March 23, 2015, 4 p.m.
I will explain how to use Min-max Theory to solve the Willmore Conjecture dating from 1965. This is joint work with Fernando C. Marques.
Min-max Theory and Geometry III
Le mardi 24 mars 2014, 14h00 / Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 2 p.m.
I will explain how to use Min-max Theory to find infinitely many minimal hypersurfaces in manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. This is joint work with Fernando C. Marques which partially answers a conjecture of Yau from 1982.
