We will first show how a collaboration with G. Mancini a llows to recast the Moser-Trudinger inequality and the existence of its ex tremals (originally due to L. Carleson and A. Chang) under a new light\, b ased on sharp energy estimate. Building upon a recent subtle work of O. Dr uet and P-D. Thizy\, in a work in progress with O. Druet\, A. Malchiodi an d P-D. Thizy\, we use these estimates to compute the Leray-Schauder degree of the Moser-Trudinger equation (via a suitable use of the Poincaré-Hopf theorem)\, hence proving that for any bounded non-simply connected domain the Moser-Trudinger inequality admits critical points of arbitrarily high energy. In a work in progress with F. De Marchis\, O. Druet\, A. Malchiodi and P-D. Thizy\, we expect to use a variational argument to treat the cas e of a closed surface.\n DTSTART:20190503T173000Z DTEND:20190503T183000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Luca Martinazzi (University of Padua) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/luca-martinazzi-universit y-padua-296477 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
