Quasiconvexity, Quasiregularity, and Rigidity of Gradients

Introductory lectures and workshop

Organizers: Sergio Conti, Georg Dolzmann

More than 50 years after Morrey's seminal papers, many deep questions concerning quasiconvexity, the fundamental notion of convexity in the calculus of variations, remain open. The introductory lectures are intedended to provide a detailled review of background materials accessible to all advanced students. The main theme of the workshop is to explore the close connections between quasiconvexity, quasiregularity and rigidity theorems for gradients and to identify future research directions.
