Members' Colloquium

Challenges and Breakthroughs in the Mathematics of Plasmas
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

This colloquium will explore some fundamental issues in the mathematics of plasmas, focusing on the stability and instability of solutions to Vlasov-type equations, which are crucial for describing the behavior of charged particles in a plasma. A...

New Estimates for Navier–Stokes and the Inviscid Limit Problem
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, I will present several a priori interior and boundary trace estimates for the 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes equation, which recover and extend the current picture of higher derivative estimates in the mixed norm. Then we discuss the...

Spectral Minimal Partitions: Local vs Global Minimality
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In this overview talk we will explore a variational approach to the problem of Spectral Minimal Partitions (SMPs).  The problem is to partition a domain or a manifold into k subdomains so that the first Dirichlet eigenvalue on each subdomain is as...
