Controlling multiplicity by curvature
Ponente: Fabian Rupp (Universidad de Viena)Fecha: jueves 13 de abril de 2023 - 11:30Lugar: Aula Naranja, ICMAT
Resumen:
A classical inequality of Li and Yau gives a lower bound on the Willmore energy of a surface in terms of its multiplicity at an arbitrary point. This is a key tool for proving regularity of minimizers or convergence of the associated geometric flows. We discuss recent extensions to other curvature-dependent bending energies, such as Euler's elastic energy or the Canham-Helfrich functional.
