Mathematics Colloquium – Some geometric inequalities for convex hypersurfaces
April 8 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
MAT Colloquium
Wednesday, April 8, 2026
Hill Auditorium, Barrows Hall
Refreshments at 3:00pm, Talk 3:15-4:05pm
Speaker: James Dibble, University of Southern Maine
Abstract: A classical family of problems in differential geometry involves bounding certain geometric quantities, such as volume or the length of the shortest closed geodesic, in terms of others. In this talk, we will discuss a variety of such inequalities, including new ones for convex hypersurfaces. The focus will be on results that can be stated without making reference to how quickly a space curves. This is joint work with Joseph Hoisington.
