Con preghiera di diffusione

*MATHEMATICS Colloquium of MILANO*
*Monday May 12, 2025* at *16.30* in Aula T.1.1 (first floor) in the
Edificio 13 (Trifoglio) of the Politecnico di Milano, located in Via
Bonardi 9,
*SIMON BRENDLE*
*Columbia University*
will present the second colloquium of the inaugural cycle entitled
*Minimal Surfaces and the Isoperimetric Inequality*

* ABSTRACT*: The isoperimetric inequality has a long history in
mathematics. In this lecture, we will discuss how the isoperimetric
inequality can be generalized to submanifolds in Euclidean space. As a
special case, we obtain a sharp isoperimetric inequality for minimal
submanifolds of codimension at most 2, answering a question going back to
work of Carleman. The proof of that inequality is inspired by, but does not
actually use, optimal transport.

*RECEPTION:* Following the colloquium, there will be a reception on the
ground floor of the same building as the lecture.
*ABOUT THE SPEAKER:*  Simon Brendle is a distinguished German-American
mathematician renowned for his profound contributions to differential
geometry, geometric analysis and partial differential equations. He earned
his doctorate from the University of Tübingen in 2001 under the supervision
of Gerhard Huisken. Brendle has held academic positions at Stanford
University and is currently a professor at Columbia University.

Throughout his career, Brendle has achieved significant breakthroughs in
geometry, including results on the Yamabe compactness conjecture, the
differentiable sphere theorem (jointly with Richard Schoen), the Lawson
conjecture, and the Perelman conjecture. His work also encompasses studies
on singularity formation in the mean curvature flow, the Yamabe flow and
the Ricci flow.

In recognition of his outstanding research, Brendle has received numerous
honors, such as the EMS Prize in 2012, the Bôcher Prize from the American
Mathematical Society in 2014, the Simons Investigator Award in 2017, and
the Fermat Prize in 2017. Most recently, he was awarded the Breakthrough
Prize in Mathematics in 2024 for "a series of remarkable leaps in
differential geometry."
