DESCRIPTION:The Plateau’s problem was raised in 1760: Given a closed cur
 ve as a boundary\, does there exist a surface with smallest area among the
  set of surfaces whose boundary is the given curve? It originates from cer
 tain physical phenomenon such as soap films. In this talk we will briefly 
 introduce the solution to this problem\, as well as its generalizations in
  the case of higher dimension and codimension\, where regularities may fai
 l\, i.e. the solution is no longer a smooth submanifold.\n
