Lisbon Webinar in Analysis and Differential Equations

From competing species to nodal solutions of the Yamabe problem

Sala P3.10, Instituto Superior Técnico (com transmissão via Zoom)

Por Alberto Saldaña (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México).

What is the relationship between wolves fighting and the Poincaré conjecture? These two concepts seem to have nothing in common, but in this talk we will establish a close link by relating three mathematical objects: the Yamabe equation, competitive systems (that model the interaction between two species), and optimal partitions of the sphere. This is joint work with Mónica Clapp and Andrzej Szulkin.

The Lisbon Webinar in Analysis in Differential Equations is a joint iniciative of CAMGSD, CMAFcIO and GFM, three research centers of the University of Lisbon. It is aimed at filling the absence of face-to-face seminars and wishes to be a meeting point of mathematicians working in the field.
