16:15 Uhr | Mattias Dahl (KTH Stockholm) | An initial data version of topological censorship in higher dimensions
The principle of topological censorship states that the region outside
all black holes in a spacetime should be topologically simple. Classical
results show for example that this region is simply connected in 3+1
dimensions. |
17:45 Uhr | Kirk Lancaster (Wichita State University) | Boundary Behavior of PMC Surfaces: The Concus-Finn Conjecture
Capillary surfaces are interesting geometric objects which turn out to be important in microgravity environments (e.g. in space) and in tiny devices (e.g. electronic, "lab on a chip"). This talk will focus on the mathematical theory of capillary surfaces in vertical cylinders and sketch the proof of the Concus-Finn conjecture. Related open questions will be mentioned. |
