Mario Schulz, Queen Mary University, Families of free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball
ZoomThe study of extremals for Steklov eigenvalues has revitalised the theory of free boundary minimal surfaces. One of the most basic open questions can be phrased as follows: Can a surface of any given topology be realised as an embedded free boundary minimal surface in the 3-dimensional Euclidean unit ball? We will answer this question…
