In this ta lk I will explore the analogous problem for the curl operator: for a fixed 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-val ued operators\, this question is rather unexplored and remains wide open. In this talk I will show that\, even taking into account that the first ei genvalue is uniformly lower bounded in terms of the volume\, there are no axisymmetric smooth optimal domains for the curl that satisfy a mild techn ical assumption. In particular\, this rules out the existence of optimal a xisymmetric domains with a convex section. This is based on joint work wit h Alberto Enciso.\n\nFor more Zoom meeting information please contact dmit ry.jakobson [at] mcgill.ca\n DTSTART:20201120T170000Z DTEND:20201120T180000Z SUMMARY:Daniel Peralta-Salas (ICMAT) URL:/channels/channels/event/daniel-peralta-salas-icma t-325639 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
