Please note special date - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13. Ìý ÌýNadirashvili conjectured that for any non-constant harmonic function in R^3 its zero set has infinite area.Ìý ÌýThis question was motivated by the Yau conjecture on zero sets of Laplace eigenfunctions. ÌýÌýÌýBoth conjectures can be treated as an attempt to control the zero set of a solution of elliptic PDE in terms of growth of the solution. ÌýFor holomorhpic functions such kind of control is possible only from one side: there is a plenty of holomorphic functions that have no zeros.Ìý ÌýWhile for a real-valued harmonic function on a plane Ìýthe length of the zero set can be estimated (locally) from above and below by the frequency, which Ìýis a characteristic of growth of the harmonic function. ÌýWe will discuss the notion of frequency, its properties and applications to the zero sets of harmonic functions in the higher dimensional case.Ìý
