Special Lecture f/ Fysisch-Mathematische Faculteitsvereniging of U Groningen
On the occasion of the visit here at KU MATH by U Groningen's Fysisch-Mathematische Faculteitsvereniging, we have arranged a special lecture, which apart from our distinguished Dutch visitors is open to all interested.
Title: Equations that show up everywhere, or: how to put on your H.C. Ørsted eyeglasses 👓⚡🧲
Abstract: Niels Martin Møller from GeoTop will be telling the audience - entertaining also with a few hands-on illustrations and many pictures - about the fascinating links between models in physics which govern phenomena as seemingly different as least-area interfaces, geodesic motion in mechanics, electric fields in space, heat flows, and quantum energies, via their connections to the famous mathematical theory of partial differential equations for the closely related Laplace equation, Cauchy-Riemann system (holomorphic complex functions) and Schrödinger operators. Further connections with topology make for the beginning of a very intriguing story...
