We present a wide-spectrum overview of some recent developments in the theory of free boundary minimal surfaces, with special emphasis on the problem of compactness under mild curvature conditions on the ambient manifold.
Presentiamo un ampio resoconto di alcuni sviluppi recenti nella teoria delle superfici minime a frontiera libera, con particolare riferimento al problema della compattezza sotto deboli ipotesi sulla curvatura sulla varietà ambiente.
