Seminars for the week of March 24, 2008
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:20, in VinH 16Professor Daniel Spirn
will speak on
"Jacobians and convergence of energies"
Many models from material science follow from a free energy and contain a distinguishing length scale. Such models include superconductivity, superfluids, micromagnetics, among other. Under certain limits of the length scale, the energy becomes a harmonic map with singularities. I will discuss how understanding the limiting behavior of these energies is related to understanding the Jacobian of the underlying function. I will then discuss some applications of these results to problems arising from material science.
