2025


21/04/2025 – 9:30 – 11:00, Seminario 1
Yevgeny Liokumovich (University of Toronto)
Título: ” Applications of minimal surfaces to geometry and topology of 3-manifolds, I”
Abstract: Minimal surfaces are a key tool in the study of geometry and topology of 3-manifolds. In the first talk I will give an overview of several problems that can be resolved using the existence and regularity theory of minimal surfaces:

1) two problems in 3-manifold topology: Smale conjecture on diffeomorphism groups of lens spaces and Waldhausen conjecture on the finiteness of Heegaard splittings;

2) two conjectures of Gromov on the geometry of 3-manifolds of positive scalar curvature: Urysohn width conjecture and the existence of a short closed geodesic.

In the second talk, I will describe some of the proofs in more detail.
