Geometric Measure Theory I Semester WiSe 2024 / 25
Lecturer Tim Laux
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Vorlesung
German title Geometrische Maßtheorie I
Contents In the graduate-level course Geometric Measure Theory 1 we will study sets of finite perimeter which appear in many geometric problems as they generalize in a natural measure theoretic way the notion of sets with smooth boundaries and enjoy excellent compactness properties.
After paving our way to defining sets of finite perimeter, we will study their compactness, structure, and regularity properties. If time permits, we will discuss further topics like minimal clusters, free discontinuity problems, and some applications.

Recommended previous knowledge Working knowledge in measure theory and analysis is assumed. (The basic training in analysis is sufficient; Functional Analysis is useful but not necessary.)
