Towards Modern Mathematics Lecture No. 949: Professor Wang Xujia on Affine Bernstein and Plateau Problems

It is reported that the Institute of Mathematics will host the 949th session of the “Towards Modern Mathematics” academic lecture series on June 17 at 10:00 at East Coast Campus D-209, featuring Professor Wang Xujia from Westlake University.

Abstract

The talk reports progress on the affine Bernstein problem and affine Plateau problem in high dimensions: interior regularity for the affine Plateau problem in all dimensions, a counterexample to the affine Bernstein problem in dimensions ten and higher, and an affine Bernstein theorem under a growth condition.

About the Speaker

Professor Wang Xujia received the Morningside Gold Medal at the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians in 2007 and was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2009. He joined Westlake University as Chair Professor of Mathematics in September 2024. His research focuses on nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations and their applications, including solving Chern’s affine Bernstein conjecture and Monge’s optimal transport problem.
