On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture

(Boundary) regularity for solutions of the Plateau problem

Guido De Philippis Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati

Abstract: Plateau problem consists in finding the surface of minima area spanning a given boundary. Since the beginning of the 50’s the study of this problem led to the development of fundamental tools in Geometric Analysis and in the Calculus of Variations. Aim of the talk is to give an overview of the problem and of the techniques used to solve it. In the end I will also present some recent results concerning boundary regularity.

LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, October 3, at 18.00 at room 3-E4-SR03, Bocconi University, Via Rontgen 1, 3rd floor, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30.
