Gluing of Geometric PDEs: Obstructions vs. Constructions for Minimal Surfaces & Mean Curvature Flow Solitons, Part I

Speaker: 
Niels Martin Møller
Institution: 
ICTP
Schedule: 
Thursday, November 12, 2015 - 14:30
Location: 
Luigi Stasi Seminar Room, ICTP
Abstract: 

The goal of these two 90 minutes talks will be to (i) Give an introduction
to mean curvature flow (the steepest descent flow for the area of
hypersurfaces), and singularity formation in this flow, and to (ii)
Introduce and explain in some detail the specific gluing techniques for
nonlinear partial differential equations, developed in the context of
minimal surfaces (e.g. mean curvature $H=0$), which ultimately lead to
construction of new examples of singularity models (solitons).
