Title: A Variational model involving nonlocal interactions of Wasserstein type
Abstract: In this talk I will consider a variational problem which appears in models of bilayer membranes. After introducing and deriving the model I will establish the existence
of volume-constrained minimizers where the energy functional consists of two competing terms: a surface energy term penalizing transitions between sets and a nonlocal energy involving the Wasserstein distance between equal volume sets. In the second part of
the talk I will consider the maximization of the minimum Wasserstein distance between two given sets, and show that this maximum is obtained by a micella. These results are drawn from joint works with Almut Burchard, Davide Carazzato, Michael Novack, and Raghavendra
Venkatraman.
