Willmore猜想

The Willmore conjecture

Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

摘要:

Willmore猜想于1965年提出,旨在寻找最好的环面。这个问题激发了很多数学多年来,帮助汇集思想的科目,如共形几何,偏微分方程,代数几何和几何测度论。在这篇文章中,我们调查的历史猜想和我们最近的解决方案,通过最小最大的方法。最后,我们讨论了该领域中仍然存在的许多悬而未决的问题。

英文摘要:

The Willmore conjecture, proposed in 1965, concerns the quest to find the best torus of all. This problem has inspired a lot of mathematics over the years, helping bringing together ideas from subjects like conformal geometry, partial differential equations, algebraic geometry and geometric measure theory. In this article we survey the history of the conjecture and our recent solution through the min-max approach. We finish with a discussion of some of the many open questions that remain in the field.
