The multivariate Tutte polynomial, known to physicists as the Potts-model partition function, can be defined for any finite graph. The function has a hidden convexity property that implies several nontrivial results concerning the combinatorics of...

Abstract: I will first concentrate on doubling gluing constructions for minimal surfaces, including a recent construction for free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball (with D. Wiygul: arXiv:1711.00818). I will then discuss the Linearized...

Abstract: We give some existence and non-existence results for minimal annuli in H2xR whose data at infinity are given.

Abstract: I will survey the recent progress on the existence problem for minimal hypersurfaces and then point for some new directions. This is joint work with Fernando Marques.

Abstract: Let M be a manifold with bounded Ricci curvature and which is noncollapsed, i.e. |Rc|v>0. Together with Wenshuai Jiang we prove that there then exists the apriori L^2 curvature estimate \int |Rm|^2 C and L^1 hessian estimate \int |\nabla...

I will talk about Ginzburg and Gurel's work on Hamiltonian pseudo-rotations of projective spaces, in particular, their proof of no fixed point of a pseudo-rotation of projective space is isolated as an invariant set.

Abstract: In this talk we show that given any regular cone with entropy less than that of round cylinder, all smooth self-expanding solutions of the mean curvature flow that are asymptotic to the cone are in the same isotopy class. This is joint...
