Date: Tuesdays at 4:30pm (and some Thursdays).
Room:
Mathematics Building 3206.
Organized by:
Y.A. Rubinstein .
.
The aim of this seminar is to attract graduate students to
Geometric Analysis, through learning and research talks.
All talks should be accessible to beginning graduate students who
might have background either in PDE or in geometry, but not necessarily
in both.

An Introduction to Linearization Stability of the Scalar Curvature Map
The scalar curvature map is the map from metrics on a fixed
manifold M to functions on M which maps a metric to its scalar
curvature. One may ask about the regularity of the set of metrics
with the same scalar curvature function. Is it a (finite
dimensional?) manifold? What is its tangent space? We'll describe some
answers to this question along with some consequences.
February 26, 2pm, room 0411 (note special time, room)
Tamas Darvas (Purdue)
An introduction to free boundaries and obstacle problems for the Laplacian
The purpose of this talk is to provide a very brief introduction to obstacle problems for
the Laplacian. We will try to summarize the most basic techniques available in studying the
regularity of the free boundary.
April 2, 2pm, room 3206 (note special time, room)
Yi Wang (Stanford)
Isoperimetric inequality and Q-curvature
Using the techniques of A_p weights, we study the relationships between
the isoperimetric inequality with the Paneitz Q-curvature. We show
a Fiala-Huber type isoperimetric inequality for higher dimensions in which
the isoperimetric constant depends only on the integrals of the
Q-curvature.
