Heegaard Splittings and Min-Max Theory
Student-Run Geometry/Topology| Speaker: | Antoine Song, UC Berkeley |
| Location: | 3106 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Jan 21 2020, 11:00AM |
Description
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.
