| Title: | Extremal Eigenvalues for the conformal laplacian |
| Speaker: | Matt Gursky, University of Notre Dame |
| Location: | Online |
| Abstract: | |
| I will report on joint work with Samuel Perez-Ayala in which we consider the problem of extremizing eigenvalues of the conformal laplacian in a fixed conformal class. As I hope to explain, there are some parallels (but some crucial differences) with the extremal eigenvalue problem for the laplacian on a compact surface. | |
