University of CalgaryA brief tour in discrete geometry
Abstract:
I will survey the recent progress on the following three major topics in discrete geometry and discuss the relevant interplay between geometry, analysis, and combinatorics: (Part I) The Kneser-Poulsen conjecture; (Part II) Densest unit sphere packings and largest contact numbers for unit sphere packings; (Part III) Extremal properties of totally separable unit sphere packings.
