Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) via YouTube

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore the log-Minkowski problem and recent advancements in convex geometry through this 28-minute lecture by Emanuel Milman at IPAM's Calculus of Variations in Probability and Geometry Workshop. Delve into the classical Minkowski problem, its Lp generalization, and the speaker's novel approach to the log-Minkowski conjecture. Learn about the isomorphic resolution of the problem and the extension of uniqueness results for self-similar solutions to the power-of-Gauss-curvature flow. Gain insights into the interpretation of the problem as a spectral question in centro-affine differential geometry, and understand its implications for convex bodies in Rn.
