14:00 MCS2068 PureAnna Roig-Sanchis (Nice): Minimal surfaces in large dimensional spheres

Since the work of Lagrange in the 18th century, minimal surfaces have been an important topic in differential geometry, geometric analysis, and mathematical physics. While there are many examples of minimal surfaces in Euclidean space, much less is known about minimal surfaces in spheres. In this colloquium, I will first give a very general introduction to minimal surfaces and show some classical examples. Then, I will present recent joint work with Michele Ancona, François Labourie and Jérémy Toulisse in which we prove the existence of negatively curved minimal surfaces in spheres of sufficiently large dimension, answering a question of Shing-Tung Yau.
