Existence of embedded solutions of Plateau's problem
Given a C1 function H: R3 --> R, we look for H-bubbles, i.e., surfaces in R3 parametrized by the sphere S2 with mean curvature H at every regular point..
Summary: We give an introduction to the Skyrme model from a mathematical point of view. Hereby, we show that it is difficult to solve the field equation even by means of the classical ansatz, the so-called hedgehog ansatz. Our main result is an extended existence proof for solutions of the field equation in the hedgehog ansatz.
It is shown that if a manifold admits an exact symplectic form, then its Poisson Lie algebra has non trivial formal deformations and the manifold admits star-products. The non-formal derivations of the star-products and the deformations of the Poisson Lie algebra of an arbitrary symplectic manifold are studied.
