Seminar - Peng Zhang: Generalized Ginzburg-Landau Equations in High Dimensions

Topic: 
Generalized Ginzburg-Landau Equations in High Dimensions
Date & Time: 
Thursday, November 19, 2015 - 14:30 to 16:15
Speaker: 
Peng Zhang, Shanghai Jiaotong University
Location: 
Room 371, GEO Building, Zhongbei Campus, ECNU

The seminar is sponsored by NYU-ECNU Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU Shanghai.

 

Abstract:

In this talk, we study critical points to the generalized Ginzburg-Landau equations in high dimensions (n ≥3) which satisfy a suitable energy bound, but are not necessarily energy minimizers. We are interested in the limits of such solutions as the parameter in the equations tend to zero.
