Two generalizations of the Plateau problem

Acquario 4.1, Edificio Alfa, Campus Scientifico, Mestre

Seminario con la Prof.ssa Giulia Bevilacqua, Università di Pisa.

Evento organizzato dalla prof.ssa Marta Strani.


In this talk, we present two recent results generalizing the classical Plateau problem which asks if there exists a surface with minimal area spanning an assigned boundary. First, we discuss a new better model known as soap film capillarity approach to characterize soap films: they are sets of finite perimeter containing a fixed volume and satisfying a specific spanning condition. Then, we couple the area functional together with a term arising from the liquid crystal framework: we discuss the existence of minimizers together with some of their geometric properties.
