Paul Yang (Princeton University) Minimal Surfaces in pseudo-Hermitian Geometry MSB 118 - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 at 4:00 pm

	In this talk, I will explain first the pseudo-hermitian geometry which bears strong analogy to conformal geometry in the setting of Cauchy-Riemann structures. I then explain the notion of minimal surface in such geometry. I will present some existence results as well as some classification results generalizing the classical Bernstein theorem to this setting.
