Title: Modulus of Families of Lipschitz Chains with Arbitrary Dimension and Codimension
Abstract:
Recently, Lohvansuu (2023) introduced the p-modulus for families of k-dimensional Lipschitz chains and their dual families of (n-k)-dimensional chains. While he established an upper bound for the duality of these families on Lipschitz cubes, the corresponding lower bound remained an open question. Subsequently, Kangasniemi and Prywes (2025) developed dMod, a related notion of modulus based on differential forms, and successfully established a full duality result. In this talk, I will explore the implications of these developments and discuss related open problems.

Title: Discrete p-Modulus and Orthodiagonal Maps
Abstract:
This project is joint work with Nathan Albin, Joan Lind and Pekka Pankka. Our goal is to approximate planar p-capacity (or continuous p-modulus) in topological rectangles using discrete p-modulus defined on an approximating orthodiagonal map. To that end, I will first introduce the planar p-capacity problem we are interested in and then I will give an overview of the theory of p-modulus on finite graphs, describing various notions of duality, and establishing its relation to the discrete p-Laplacian and to non-linear flows.
