Variational Methods in Geometry Seminar
Almgren's isomorphism theorem and parametric isoperimetric inequalities
In the 60's Almgren initiated a program for developing Morse theory on the space of flat cycles. I will discuss some simplifications, generalizations and quantitative versions of Almgren's results about the topology of the space of flat cycles and their applications to minimal surfaces.
I will talk about joint works with F. C. Marques and A. Neves, and L. Guth.
