MATH 761
Seminar in Geometry
(Fall 2003)
Instructor:
Alex Meadows
Meeting
Time & Room
This course will cover Geometric Measure Theory, with an
emphasis on geometric variational problems, including minimal surfaces
(soap films). Prerequisites would be measure theory and some analysis
at the level of Rudin's "Real and Complex Analysis." Some background
in the geometry of manifolds might be helpful. The topics will include
rectifiable sets, currents, varifolds, area-minimizing surfaces, and possibly
flat chains. We may also discuss some advanced topics like problems of
singularities and mean curvature flow.
