Explore advanced mathematical concepts in this conference talk examining convex integration techniques applied to the Monge-Ampere system, a multi-dimensional generalization of the classical Monge-Ampere equation. Learn how this system emerges from prescribed curvature problems and connects to isometric immersions and elastic energy minimization in thin shells. Discover the relationship between the Monge-Ampere system and its weak formulation known as the Von Karman system, particularly in elasticity theory applications for thin films. Examine the closely related isometric immersion system and understand how it yields the Von Karman system through perturbation analysis of Euclidean metrics. Investigate ongoing research into existence, regularity, and multiplicity of solutions using convex integration methods, building upon foundational work by Nash, Kuiper, Kallen, Borisov, and more recent approaches by Conti, Delellis, Szekelyhidi, Cao, Hirsch, and Inauen. Delve into the connections between non-Euclidean energy scaling in elastic deformations and the quantitative isometric immersion problem, gaining insight into cutting-edge developments in differential geometry and mathematical physics.
