The isoperimetric problem on the Heisenberg

Abstract:

I will explain the geometry of a contact form in dimension three. The basic problem is to find the isoperimetric profile in the Heisenberg group. This variational problem is approached via a mean curvature equation. However this equation is not an elliptc equation in this low dimension, hence the problem remains largely open due to regularity issues.

When are how can we compute approximate solutions to NP-hard problems? Fine 214 Wenesday Nov.6th 6:00pm In the 1970s it was discovered that many computational problems in a variety of disciplines are NP-complete: they do not have efficient algorithms if  P != NP, as is widely believed. This was a profound discovery. However, in practice […]

We wanted to advertise another undergraduate math colloquium: Ryan Chen (’19) will be talking about arithmetic geometry this Friday 4/26 at 4:30 pm in Fine 214. It’s a great way to follow up from Ken Ono’s talk on Thursday–did you know that Ryan worked with Ken Ono last summer on modular forms? Title: Integer points, Diophantine geometry, and […]
