The next meeting of the seminar on Mathematical Foundations of Mathematics will be held on June 11, 2014 at 14:00 in Room 503 of IMI. Presentation will be given:

On the Separation of Optimal Spherical Configurations

by Peter Dragnev, Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne, Department of Mathematical Sciences.

Abstract:
Spherical configuration with some optimal properties have wide-ranging application in science. In this talk we shall survey briefly the topic and focus on minimal energy configurations and in particular on their separation properties. Our techniques naturally lead to investigation of optimal configurations in the presence of external field. Numerical computations will be presented as well.

Everybody is invited.
