“First and Second variation of the Volume functional”
Abstract
In this talk we will derive the first and second variational formulas for the volume functional of a submanifold.
“Vector cross products and calibrations: some non-standard inner product space theory”
Abstract
We consider finite-dimensional real positive-definite inner product spaces and special struc- tures on them associated to the inner products. Specifically, we consider vector cross products, calibrations, and linear maps between inner product spaces that play nicely with these struc- tures. I will give some geometric motivation, but this talk will be basic linear algebra that could be taught in 245. So tell all your friends to come.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
