DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/mmsANDconv/2
 0/">Area minimizing surfaces for singular boundary values</a>\nby Paul Cre
 utz (University of Cologne) as part of mms&convergence\n\n\nAbstract\nFix 
 a nonnegative integer g and a finite configuration of  \ndisjoint Jordan c
 urves in Euclidean space. Then\, by a classical result  \nof Douglas\, the
 re is an area minimizer among all surfaces of genus at  \nmost g which spa
 n the given curve configuration. In the talk I will  \ndiscuss a generaliz
 ation of this theorem to singular configurations of  \npossibly non-disjoi
 nt or self-intersecting curves. The proof relies on  \nan existence result
  for minimal surfaces in singular metric spaces and  \ndoes not seem amena
 ble by classical smooth techniques. This is joint  \nwork with M. Fitzi.\n
