2008 DG-MP-PDE Seminar-16

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Obstruction for the existence of prescribed

curvature

hypersurfaces

Description: 

The problem of prescribing curvature of manifolds has been studied
quite a lot during the last decades. In this talk I will present a (non
complete) overview of existence/non existence results for hypersurfaces
for different types of curvature (mean curvature, scalar
curvature...)in the euclidean case, and I will present a few new
results in the case of closed hypersurfaces of prescribed mean
curvature (still in the euclidean case).
