What is... a Monge-Ampère equation?

Vortrag von Lauro Silini

Datum: 15.11.22  Zeit: 16.30 - 18.00  Raum:

This talk is designed to be a friendly invitation to the wild world of Partial Differential Equations. After introducing the fascinating and two-centuries old Monge-Ampère equation, and looking at its anatomy, we will trace its relation with the theory of optimal transportation. Time permitting, we will see how this applies to prove one of the most elegant equations of geometric analysis: the isoperimetric inequality.
