Jason Lotay to speak in the geometry seminar 27 March

Jason Lotay (University College London) will speak in the geometry seminar on Tuesday 27 March, at 1.30pm in the Salle de Profs. Jason’s title is “Remarks on the self-shrinking Clifford torus” and his abstract is below.

The Clifford torus in the 3-sphere is a simple and important example of a Lagrangian mean curvature flow self-shrinker in C^2. In this talk I will discuss two related but distinct issues concerning the Clifford torus: stability under Lagrangian mean curvature flow, and rigidity as a self-shrinker. This is joint work with Christopher G. Evans and Felix Schulze.
