. Please find below the abstract.

The seminar will be preceded by a snack in the same room, starting at 4:45 PM.

Title: Recent developments on the Besicovitch's 1/2 problem 
Abstract: The Besicovitch's 1/2 problem problem investigates the smallest threshold 𝜎 guaranteeing rectifiability for a set with Hausdorff 1-dimensional finite measure when the lower density of the set is larger than 𝜎 almost everywhere. Besicovitch conjectured that 𝜎 = 1/2 (hence the name of the problem) and proved 𝜎 ≤ 3/4, then Preiss and Tišer improved the bound to 
𝜎≤ (2+\sqrt{46})/12 ∼ 0.73186...
In a recent work in collaboration with C. De Lellis, F. Glaudo and D. Vittone, we devised a strategy to improve the bound by means of a hierarchy of variational problems and we reach a proof that 𝜎≤0.7. In this seminar, I will try to explain the fairly intuitive geometric idea behind this strategy and I will try to summarize both the computational obstacles and the intrinsic obstacles that are still in the way.
