Finding the optimal isoperimetric inequalities for its eigenvalues is a classical problem of spectral geometry going back to J. Hersch\, P. Li and S.-T. Yau . One of the main attractions of this problem is the variety of methods em ployed to study it. In the present talk we demonstrate this feature and\, in particular\, outline the connections to the theory of minimal surfaces\ , algebraic geometry and topology. These include recent applications of mo duli spaces and cobordism theory. The talk is based on joint works with V. Medvedev\, N. Nadirashvili\, A. Penskoi and I. Polterovich.\n DTSTART:20190322T173000Z DTEND:20190322T183000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Mikhail Karpukhin \, Irvine University URL:https://www.mcgill.ca/channels/channels/event/mikhail-karpukhin-irvine- university-295516 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
