Title of talk: A capillarity model for soap films

Abstract of talk:

We study a variational model for soap films based on capillarity theory and its relation to minimal surfaces.
Here, soap films are modelled, not as surfaces, but as regions of small volume satisfying a homotopic spanning condition.
