Reduction, Weil-Petersson geodesics, and liquid crystals
Tudor Ratiu, École Polytechnique F. Lausanne (póster)
10 de diciembre, 11:30h., Aula 520 del Departamento de Matemáticas
(Fac. Ciencias, módulo 17)
Resumen: In this talk I will try to show how the general philosophy of reduction leads to interesting problems both in pure and applied mathematics. Two examples will be treated: the geodesic motion on the universal Teichmuller space for the Weil-Petersson Riemannian metric and the Eringen equations for micropolar liquid crystals.
