Sobolev classes over infinite-dimensional spaces with measures
Vladimir Bogachev 
ERC-School on Geometric Measure Theory and Real Analysis

Abstract. This mini-course aims at giving a concise introduction to the theory of Sobolev classes over infinite-dimensional spaces with measures. The framework is a natural generalization of the finite-dimensional case of weighted Sobolev classes with sufficiently differentiable (or even smooth) weights. To this end, suitable classes of differentiable measures will be introduced. The associated Sobolev classes are defined by means of completions in Sobolev norms or via integration by parts formulae. The Gaussian case will be also considered. Basic results will be presented and challenging open problems will be mentioned.

The regularity problem for sub-Riemannian geodesics
Davide Vittone (Dip. Matematica, Univ. di Padova)
ERC-School on Geometric Measure Theory and Real Analysis

Abstract. We study the regularity problem for sub-Riemannian geodesics, i.e., those curves that minimize length among all curves joining two fixed endpoints and whose derivatives are tangent to a given, smooth distribution of planes with constant dimension. We will review necessary conditions for optimality, focusing in particular on Pontryagin Maximum Principle and Goh condition. The regularity problem is non-trivial due to the presence of the so-called abnormal extremals, i.e., certain curves satisfying the necessary conditions that may develop singularities. After reviewing the recent literature on the subject, we will focus on the case of stratified groups and present some recent results obtained in collaboration with E. Le Donne, G. P. Leonardi and R. Monti.

Regularity of higher codimension area minimizing integral currents
Emanuele Spadaro 
ERC-School on Geometric Measure Theory and Real Analysis

Abstract. In this series of lectures I will present a new proof of the partial regularity for area minimizing integral currents in any dimension and codimension (obtained in collaboration with C. De Lellis at Zurich), as proven first in Almgren's big regularity paper. After a brief introduction to currents and multiple valued functions, I will focus on the core of the partial regularity results, trying to give a fairly detailed description of the approximation of a current on a center manifold and of the frequency function estimates.
