Speaker: Rasul Shafikov (Western) Title: "Approximation on Real Surfaces" Room: MC 107 Abstract: I will discuss the following result, which is joint work with A. Sukhov: on any compact real surface S, except the sphere and RP2, there exist two smooth functions with the property that their rational combinations are dense in the space of continuous functions on S. The proof relies on many different results in several complex variables, symplectic geometry, and approximation theory. I will give a general overview of this. | |
