On the exact failure of the hot spots conjecture

Dr. Mitchell Taylor
(ETH Zurich)
Abstract
The hot spots conjecture asserts that as time goes to infinity, the hottest and coldest points in an insulated domain will migrate towards the boundary of the domain. In this talk, I will describe joint work with Jaume de Dios Pont and Alex Hsu where we find the exact failure of the hot spots conjecture in every dimension.
