I will report on recent results on their Ginzbu rg-Landau approximation\, regularity theory\, and their heat flow. I will also describe several models in the theory of liquid crystals where the he at flow of those maps appears\, emphasizing on some well-posedness issues and some hints on the construction of blow-up solutions. Several important results in geometric analysis such as extremal metrics for the Steklov ei genvalues for instance make a crucial use of such maps. I’ll give some ope n problems and will try to explain how to attack few open questions in the field using tools recently developed.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\nhttps://mcg ill.zoom.us/j/89400555470?pwd=YzFzM0x4aVVtSTRXTHVDZzdEWUM5Zz09\n\nMeeting ID: 894 0055 5470\n\nPasscode: 003929\n DTSTART:20211022T183000Z DTEND:20211022T193000Z SUMMARY:Yannick Sire (Johns Hopkins) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/yannick-sire-johns-hopkin s-334236 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
