In this talk, I will review the Sphere Covering Inequality and present some new forms of the inequality, including a version with singular terms on more general surfaces as well as a dual version. I will also show their applications in the study of singular Liouville-type problems with super harmonic weights. In particular, new uniqueness results for solutions of the singular mean field equation both on spheres and on bounded domains will be discussed. Some new symmetry results for the spherical Onsager vortex equation will also be presented.

IAS/ School of Science Joint Lecture - Drag on a Penetrable Disk in a Superfluid
Abstract The motion of a body through a superfluid can generate phenomena distinct from a normal viscous fluid. This includes the absence of drag below a critical body speed with the shedding o...
