In this talk I will explore the analogous problem for the curl operator: for a fix ed volume\, what is the optimal domain for the first positive (or negative ) eigenvalue of curl? In spite of being one of the most important vector-v alued operators\, this question is rather unexplored and remains wide open . In this talk I will show that\, even taking into account that the first eigenvalue is uniformly lower bounded in terms of the volume\, there are n o axisymmetric smooth optimal domains for the curl that satisfy a mild tec hnical assumption. In particular\, this rules out the existence of optimal axisymmetric domains with a convex section. This is based on joint work w ith Alberto Enciso.\n\nFor more Zoom meeting information please contact dm itry.jakobson [at] mcgill.ca\n DTSTART:20201120T170000Z DTEND:20201120T180000Z SUMMARY:Daniel Peralta-Salas (ICMAT) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/daniel-peralta-salas-icma t-325639 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
