List of papers of Nages Shanmugalingam


My research area is geometric function theory. I am interested in the connection between inequalities in analysis and their geometric implications, and also in quasiconformal maps and the geometric properties of metric measure spaces conserved by them. Currently I am also involved in the studying interactions between geometry and the BV theory in metric spaces, and the utility of sets of finite perimeter in the study of Sobolev spaces.


My thesis, 1999, at the University of Michigan.
