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.

THE NASH PROBLEM FOR ARC SPACES Wednesday Oct 2nd Fine 214 6:00 pm Abstract: In a 1968 preprint, John Nash asked some very interesting questions about the family of all arcs on algebraic or analytic surfaces and hypersurfaces. I illustrate these questions using the examples of the surfaces (xy=z^n) and (x^2+y^3=z^4). I plan to end […]
