Author Description

This volume includes papers presented by several speakers at the Geometry and Topology conferences at Harvard University in 2011 and at Lehigh University in 2012. Included are works by Simon Brendle, on the Lagrangian minimal surface equation and related problems; by Sergio Cecotti and Cumrun Vafa, concerning classification of complete N=2 supersymmetric theories in four dimensions; by F. Reese Harvey and H. Blaine Lawson Jr., on existence, uniqueness, and removable singularities for non-linear PDEs in geometry; by Janos Kollar, concerning links of complex analytic singularities; by Claude LeBrun, on Calabi energies of extremal toric surfaces; by Mu-Tao Wang, concerning mean curvature flows and isotopy problems; and by Steve Zelditch, on eigenfunctions and nodal sets.
