S-embeddings and Discrete Maximal Lorentz Surfaces

Explore a 50-minute lecture on S-embeddings and discrete maximal Lorentz surfaces presented by Niklas Affolter from Technische Universität Berlin at IPAM's Statistical Mechanics and Discrete Geometry Workshop. Delve into the extension of Chelkak, Laslier, and Russkikh's work, examining a class of s-embeddings corresponding to discrete isothermic surfaces in Lorentz space. Discover the identification of discrete maximal surfaces with vanishing discrete mean curvature, and learn about the associated family of discrete maximal surfaces and their corresponding s-embeddings. Gain insights into this collaborative research conducted with Dellinger, Müller, Polly, Smeenk, and Techter, advancing understanding in the field of discrete geometry and its applications to statistical mechanics.
