Recent developments in capillarity
Capillary surfaces (liquid-air or liquid-liquid interfaces) are mathematically modelled as surfaces of prescribed
mean curvature. We will discuss two recent papers on compressible liquids, using classical non-linear, elliptic
PDE techniques (with R. Finn), and measure-theoretical methods for energy minimisers (joint work with J.
Clutterbuck)
