Geometric measure theory — rectifiability, integral currents, minimal surfaces. Big promises, sexy words, and tons of technical machinery to back it up. There’s some serious stuff here, have fun :)
Topics really should include:
- Hausdorff measure and dimension
- rectifiability and geometric regularity (i.e. generalizations of manifold structure)
- the integral currents program for minimizing over geometric structures
- minimal surfaces and PDE generalizations/extensions
- fractal stuffs
- also maybe some diff geo or alg geo, wherever they may arise
