Title:
PDEs vs. Geometry: analytic characterizations of geometric properties of sets
Speaker:
Abstract:
In this talk we will discuss connections between the geometric and analytic/PDE properties of sets. The emphasis is on quantifiable, global results which yield true equivalence between the geometric and PDE notions in very rough scenarios, including domains and equations with singularities and structural complexity. The main result establishes that in all dimensions d<n, a d-dimensional set in ℝn is regular (rectifiable) if and only if the Green function for elliptic operators is well approximated by affine functions (distance to the hyperplanes).
