Differential Geometry III:
Minimal Surfaces: Classical and Discrete
(Summer 2013)
|
|
This is a course of the
Berlin Mathematical School
held in English.
Contents
Theory of Minimal Surfaces, classical and discrete. This theory is a meeting point of differential geometry of surfaces, complex analysis, theory of Riemann surfaces and discrete differential geometry. We will learn local and global geometric properties of minimal surfaces, their analytic description, famous classical minimal surfaces. Structure preserving discretizations based on discrete curvatures, discrete Laplace-Beltrami operator and discrete Riemann surfaces as well as on circle patterns will be studied.
