SUMMARY:Algebraic Combinatorics Seminar - Steve Melczer
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Analytic Combinatorics\, Rigorous Numerics\, and Unique
 ness of\nBiomembranes\n\nSpeaker:\n Steve Melczer\n\nAffiliation:\n Univer
 sity of Waterloo\n\nZoom:\n Contact Karen Yeats\n\nABSTRACT:\n\nSince the 
 invention of the compound microscope in the early\nseventeenth century\, s
 cientists have marvelled over red blood cells\nand their surprising shape.
  An influential model of Canham predicts\nthe shapes of blood cells and si
 milar biomembranes come from a\nvariational problem minimizing the \"bendi
 ng energy\" of these surfaces.\nBecause observed (healthy) cells have the 
 same shape in humans\, it is\nnatural to ask whether the model admits a un
 ique solution. Here\, we\nprove solution uniqueness for the genus one Canh
 am problem.
