Willmore conjecture

In differential geometry, the Willmore conjecture is a lower bound on the Willmore energy of a torus. It is named after the English mathematician Tom Willmore, who conjectured it in 1965. A proof by Fernando Codá Marques and André Neves was announced in 2012 and published in 2014. (Wikipedia).

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Rob Kusner: Willmore stability and conformal rigidity of minimal surfaces in S^n

A minimal surface M in the round sphere S^n is critical for area, as well as for the Willmore bending energy W=∫∫(1+H^2)da. Willmore stability of M is equivalent to a gap between −2 and 0 in its area-Jacobi operator spectrum. We show the W-stability of M persists in all higher dimensional

D. Ketover - Sharp entropy bounds of closed surfaces and min-max theory

In 2012, Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi-White conjectured that the entropy of any closed surface in R^3 is at least that of the self-shrinking two-sphere. I will explain joint work with X. Zhou where we interpret this conjecture as a parabolic version of the Willmore problem and give a min-max

Huy Nguyen: Brakke Regularity for the Allen-Cahn Flow

Abstract: In this paper we prove an analogue of the Brakke's $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation. In particular, we show uniform $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for the transition layers converging to smooth mean curvature flows as $\epsilon\rightarrow 0$. A corr

Abel formula

This is one of my all-time favorite differential equation videos!!! :D Here I'm actually using the Wronskian to actually find a nontrivial solution to a second-order differential equation. This is amazing because it brings the concept of the Wronskian back to life! And as they say, you won

Henri Darmon: Andrew Wiles' marvelous proof

Abstract: Pierre de Fermat famously claimed to have discovered “a truly marvelous proof” of his last theorem, which the margin in his copy of Diophantus' Arithmetica was too narrow to contain. Fermat's proof (if it ever existed!) is probably lost to posterity forever, while Andrew Wiles' p

The successful approach to solving Fermat's problem reflects a move in number theory from abelian to non-abelian arithmetic. This lecture was held by Abel Laurate Sir Andrew Wiles at The University of Oslo, May 25, 2016 and was part of the Abel Prize Lectures in connection with the Abel P

Repulsive Shape Optimization

In visual computing, point locations are often optimized using a "repulsive" energy, to obtain a nice uniform distribution for tasks ranging from image stippling to mesh generation to fluid simulation. But how do you perform this same kind of repulsive optimization on curves and surfaces?

Giles Gardam - Kaplansky's conjectures

Kaplansky made various related conjectures about group rings, especially for torsion-free groups. For example, the zero divisors conjecture predicts that if K is a field and G is a torsion-free group, then the group ring K[G] has no zero divisors. I will survey what is known about the conj
