Abstract:

The p-widths are a geometric invariant of a Riemannian manifold closely related to the spectrum of the Laplacian. I will describe some properties of the p-widths  on a surface (joint with C. Mantoulidis).

Biography:

Otis Chodosh recieved his PhD from Stanford University in 2015 supervised by Simon Brendle and Michael Eichmair.  He has been an assistant professor at Stanford since 2019, previously he was a Research Fellow at Cambridge University and Veblen Instructor at Princeton/IAS. His interests include geometric analysis and PDE, specifically variational problems related to the area functional.
