Localization of min-max minimal hypersurfaces

Speaker: Douglas Stryker, Princeton University

Location: Warren Weaver Hall 512

Date: Friday, February 9, 2024, 11 a.m.

Synopsis:

I will discuss how min-max minimal hypersurfaces can be "localized" in the ambient space. This result enables a min-max existence theory for minimal hypersurfaces in complete noncompact manifolds that parallels the well-established theory in closed manifolds.
