Heegaard Splittings and Min-Max Theory
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Antoine Song, UC Berkeley |
| Location: | 3106 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Jan 21 2020, 11:00AM |
We will review the notion of Heegaard splittings and some known results about them. Then we will give an introduction to the variational theory for minimal surfaces (in other words, min-max theory), and explain how it relates to Heegaard splittings.
