Title: Hot spots and other stories.
Abstract: The hottest and coldest points on an insulated metal plate are
called the`hot spots' for the plate. Physical intuition says that these
points should go off to the boundary of the plate as time goes to
infinity. In this talk I will discuss this problem and give a precise
mathematical formulation in terms of solutions of some PDE. I will then
try to give a brief history of the known results.

and an approach via lattices and polyhedra to study related conjectures.
