16:15 Uhr Knut Smoczyk (Hannover) On the topology of translating solitons of the mean curvature flow

This is joint work with Francisco Martin (Granada) and Andreas Savas-Halilaj (Hannover). We obtain classification results and topological obstructions for the existence of translating solitons of the mean curvature flow in euclidean space.

 
17:45 Uhr Andrea Malchiodi (SISSA) A variational approach to Liouville Equations

We consider Liouville equations arising from curvature prescription problems and from models in Electroweak and Chern-Simons theory. We show how improved versions of the Moser-Trudinger inequality, combined with min-max theory, may reduce these PDEs to the study of finite-dimensional objects consisting of measures supported at finitely-many points. These are joint works with D. Bartolucci, A. Carlotto, F. De Marchis and D. Ruiz.
