PhD course "Topics in Geometric Analysis II" - 2025

Dipartimento di Scienze Matematiche DISMA, Politecnico di Torino, 26-27-28-29 May 2025.

This course will offer an introduction to some selected current topics in geometric analysis. It should be of interest to students in Geometry, Analysis, and Mathematical Physics. 

Course Title: "Nonlocal minimal surfaces and long-range phase transitions".

Lecturers: Prof. Serena Dipierro (UWA) and Prof. Enrico Valdinoci (UWA). 

Abstract: We present the theory of nonlocal minimal surfaces, with special attention to regularity, sheeting, maximum principle, and stickiness. We also link this theory to the study of long-range phase transition and to the analysis of its symmetry properties.

Lectures will be held in Aula Buzano (DISMA) with the following (temptative) schedule:

Lecture 1: 9:30-11:30, May 26-27-28-29

Lecture 2: 11:30-13:30, May 26-27-28-29
