Given a measure preserving dynamical system, a real-valued observable determines a random process (by composing the observable with the iterates of the transformation). An important topic in ergodic theory is the study of the statistical properties...

In spin systems, the existence of a spectral gap has far-reaching consequences. So-called "frustration-free" spin systems form a subclass that is special enough to make the spectral gap problem amenable and, at the same time, broad enough to include...

For initial datum of finite kinetic energy Leray has proven in 1934 that there exists at least one global in time finite energy weak solution of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. In this talk, I will discuss very recent joint work with Vlad Vicol in...

I will discuss a connection between monodromy groups of variations of Hodge structure and the global behavior of the associated period map. The large-scale information in the period map is contained in the Lyapunov exponents, which are invariants...

We prove the existence and the linear stability of Cantor families of small amplitude time quasi-periodic standing water waves solutions, namely periodic and even in the space variable $x$, of a bi-dimensional ocean with finite depth under the...

I will consider the energy-critical wave maps equation with values in the sphere in the equivariant case, that is for symmetric initial data. It is known that if the initial data has small energy, then the corresponding solution scatters. Moreover...

We will describe an implementation of the Wiener theorem in $L^1$ type convolution algebras in the setting of spectral theory. In joint work with Marius Beceanu we obtained a structure theorem for the wave operators by this method.

We present a new approach to the existence of time quasi-periodic solutions to nonlinear PDE's. It is based on the method of Anderson localization, harmonic analysis and algebraic analysis. This can be viewed as an infinite dimensional analogue of a...

In 1979, O. Heilmann and E.H. Lieb introduced an interacting dimer model with the goal of proving the emergence of a nematic liquid crystal phase in it. In such a phase, dimers spontaneously align, but there is no long range translational order...
