Tomorrow, 22 Feb: ICTP Colloquium by Prof. Francesco Maggi: "Isoperimetric Theorems, Open Problems and New Results"

[ICTP Director]

Dear All,

ICTP is pleased to announce that the ICTP Colloquium by Prof. Francesco 
Maggi " Isoperimetric Theorems, Open Problems and New Results" will take 
place  tomorrow, Wednesday 22 February at 16:30 hrs, in the Budinich 
Lecture Hall, Leonardo Building, ICTP.

Francesco Maggi, Research Scientist at ICTP, works on variational 
problems and partial differential equations motivated by geometry and 
physics. He is contributing, in particular, to the development of a 
quantitative stability theory for geometric/functional inequalities, and 
for geometric rigidity theorems, as well as to the applications of this 
theory to minimization problems arising in capillarity theory and 
statistical mechanics, and to the asymptotic behavior of geometric flows 
and other diffusive partial differential equations.

ABSTRACT: I will review several isoperimetric theorems, pointing out 
some (more or less well-known) open problems. I then introduce some key 
results in the theory of quantitative isoperimetry. The necessary 
mathematical background should be minimal.

The abstract of the talk is available at: http://indico.ictp.it/event/8063/

The Colloquium will be livestreamed at http://video.ictp.it/livestream

The poster is attached.

Light refreshments will be served after the lecture.

You are all very warmly invited to attend.

Best regards,

Fernando Quevedo
