Oberwolfach Seminar: Lipschitz Analysis

Date

November 21st --November 27th, 2010

Organizers

Mario Bonk, UCLA

Urs Lang, ETH Zurich

Programme

Many analytic theories that extend classical analysis to non-standard or non-smooth settings are based on the class of Lipschitz functions and maps. Examples include the Ambrosio-Kirchheim theory of metric currents, Weaver's theory of metric derivations, or Cheeger's differentiation theory. In these studies it is often important to investigate the finer properties of Lipschitz maps. This workshop will give an introduction to these recent developments. It will also include a review of some more classical results on Lipschitz functions. The two organizers will give introductory survey lectures at the beginning of the seminar. Some participants (selected by the organizers) will present more specialized subjects.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites. As a minimal mathematical background participants should be familiar with the material of basic graduate courses (multivariable calculus, measure theory, topology).

Literature
