Colloquium Costas Bachas (ENS Paris)
at: 16:00 room 3, south range, Strand campus abstract: | The phenomena of capillarity and (partial) wetting have been studied for two centuries, yet they continue to be of great current interest. After a brief historical review, I will discuss some recent results on the associated minimal-surface problem. In conclusion, I will draw some analogies with problems facing present-day string theory. |
