• Monday, September 29, 1997
  
  

  Lefschetz Center for Dynamical Systems Seminar

  Speaker:	Luis Almeida, CMLA ENS de Cachan
  Title:	Stable States and Threshold Energies for Ginzburg-Landau Functionals on Multiply-Connected Domains
  Time/Place:	4:00 p.m., B&H 155

  Abstract:   We study the topology of the level sets of Ginzburg-Landau functionals and use it to find both minimizing and mountain-pass critical points. Furthermore, we find some estimates for the energies of these mountain passes, which correspond to transition energies between stable states of our system.
