SUMMARY:Higher multiplicity in minimal varieties - Dr Neshan Wickramaseker

DESCRIPTION:The focus of the talk will be on the nature of singularities o
 f minimal varieties (i.e. stationary points of the area functional) of a R
 iemannian manifold. A quick survey of some old results concerning singular
 ities\, most of which are valid for ''multiplicity 1 classes'' of minimal 
 varieties\, will be followed by a discussion of some recent progress conce
 rning the size and the structure of the set of branch points\, i.e. those 
 singularities that arise in the presence of higher multiplicity.
