University of Toronto PDE/Applied Math/Analysis Seminar Thursday April 27, 3:10-4pm, BA2130 SPEAKER: Mohammed Reza Pakzad, Max-Planck-Institut, Leipzig. TITLE: Sobolev isometric immersions between Riemannian manifolds ABSTRACT: We will study isometric immersions with Sobolev type regularity between Riemannian manifolds. The motivations are multifold, from classical differential geometry to calculus of variations and elasticity theory. Some results concerning regularity and rigidity of this type of mappings are discussed and some related open problems are put forward. -------------------------------------------------------------- University of Toronto PDE/Applied Math/Analysis seminar http://www.math.toronto.edu/appmath/ 2005-2006 organizers: Pieter Blue pblue@math.toronto.edu Almut Burchard almut@math.toronto.edu Bob Jerrard rjerrard@math.toronto.edu --------------------------------------------------------------
