Speaker: Dr. Baris Coskunuzer, Yale University Title: On the Number of Solutions to the Asymptotic Plateau Problem Date: Thu 04 May, 2006 Time: 16:45 Place: Science Building, Room Z42 Abstract: We give a simple topological argument to show that the number of solutions of the asymptotic Plateau problem in hyperbolic space is generically unique. In particular, we show that the space of codimension-1 closed submanifolds of sphere at infinity, which bounds a unique absolutely area minimizing hypersurface in hyperbolic n-space, is generic in the space of all codimension-1 closed submanifolds at infinity.
