Stability on two types of partitioning problems
Date/Time:24 Jan 2019 16:00 Venue: S17 #05-12 SR4 Speaker: Xia Chao, Xiamen University Stability on two types of partitioning problems In this talk, two geometric variational problems, so-called partitioning problems for convex domains will be discussed. Type-I is on area minimizing hypersurfaces with volume constraint and Type-II is on area minimizing ones with wetting area constraint. The stationary points for Type-I are free boundary CMC hypersurfaces while the ones for Type-II are minimal hypersurfaces with constant contact angle. We study the stability problem, namely, the second variation for area functional is nonnegative under two types of admissible deformations. We show the uniqueness result for stable type-I or type-II stationary hypersurfaces in a Euclidean ball. This talk is based on joint works with Guofang Wang and Jinyu Guo. Add to calendar:
