On a compact, orientable smooth manifold without boundary the space of harmonic k-forms can be considered as a concrete representation of the k-th singular cohomology with real coefficients, which is a consequence of a classical theorem by de Rham. In the presence of a boundary, though, this space becomes infinite-dimensional and the linkage to the topology is lost. Still, there are finite-dimensional subspaces of socalled Dirichlet and Neumann forms, isomorphic to the relative and absolute cohomology, respectively. A recent result by deTurck, Gluck and Shonkwiler identifies the principal angles between these two spaces -coined the Poincaré duality angles -as a significant intrinsic characteristic of manifolds with boundary, which relates the influence of the boundary components to the "inner" topology of the manifold. In this talk I will introduce and discuss the Poincaré duality angles for a discrete version of harmonic Neumann and Dirichlet fields on triangulated surfaces with boundary, accompanied by some numerical examples which illustrate this concept. Die Disputation besteht aus dem o. g. Vortrag, danach der Vorstellung der Dissertation einschließlich jeweils anschließenden Aussprachen. Interessierte werden hiermit herzlich eingeladen Der Vorsitzende der Promotionskommission Prof. Dr. K. Polthier
