[Insalate Di Matematica]

Dear all,

We remind you *today*'s appointment of the series of seminars "Insalate di
Matematica".
Here are the details:

*Speaker*: *Lorenzo Maniscalco* (University of Torino)

*Date and time*: *29/04/2026, 4:45 pm (CET)*

*Title*: "When Electrostatics meets Lorentzian Geometry: the Born-Infeld
equation "

*Abstract*:
A well-known feature of Maxwell's electrodynamics is that a static point
charge generates a field whose static energy is infinite. This is
physically unsatisfactory, and in fact in the 1930s Born and Infeld
proposed an alternative classical theory of the electromagnetic interaction
that overcomes this issue. The drawback is that the new theory is
non-linear, making it mathematically much more involved. In this talk I
will focus on the electrostatics of the Born–Infeld theory, explaining why
it is a challenging problem from the perspective of regularity theory and
how it is closely related to the geometry of spacelike hypersurfaces in
spacetime.

*Keywords:*
Prescribed Lorentzian mean curvature, Born–Infeld model, Euler–Lagrange
equation, Regularity of solutions, Measure data.


*Information to attend in person*
The seminar will take place at the building U9-Koinè, Università degli
Studi di Milano Bicocca; room U9-09.
