Report title: A direct method leading to Bonnet surfaces

Speaker：Robert Conte (ENS Paris-Saclay and HKU)

Reporting time：September 28, 2023 16:00-17:00

Location：Room 1420, Huiwen Building

Report content：We characterize the Bonnet surfaces with the single requirement that the mean curvature H of a surface in R3 admit a reduction to an ordinary differential equation which possesses the Painlev\'e property. (joint work with Grundland, Montr\'eal).

Reporter Introduction：After graduating from Ecole polytechnique, Robert Conte obtained a degree in solid state physics from Orsay, then his PhD in theoretical fluid mechanics from Paris VI. His current interests are exact solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential, partial differential or discrete equations.

Teachers and students are welcome to participate!
