Analysis Seminar

From hyperbolic billiards to statistical physics
4:30pm|Remote Access

Consider a point particle flying freely on the torus and elastically bouncing back from the boundary of fixed smooth convex obstacles. This is the celebrated Sinai billiard, a rare example of a deterministic dynamical system where rigorous results...

Long time dynamics of 2d Euler and nonlinear inviscid damping
4:30pm|Remote Access

In this talk, we will discuss some joint work with Alexandru Ionescu on the nonlinear inviscid damping near point vortex and monotone shear flows in a finite channel. We will put these results in the context of long time behavior of 2d Euler...

Yang-Mills Instantons, Quivers and Bows
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The study of hyperkaehler manifolds of lowest dimension (and of gauge theory on them) leads to a chain of generalizations of the notion of a quiver: quivers, bows, slings, and monowalls. This talk focuses on bows, their representations, and...

Mean-Field limits for Coulomb-type dynamics
Sylvia Serfaty
4:30pm|Remote Access

We consider a system of $N$ particles evolving according to the gradient flow of their Coulomb or Riesz interaction, or a similar conservative flow, and possible added random diffusion. By Riesz interaction, we mean inverse power $s$ of the distance...

A stationary set method for estimating oscillatory integrals
4:30pm|Remote Access

Given a polynomial $P$ of constant degree in $d$ variables and consider the oscillatory integral \[I_P = \int_{[0,1]^d} e(P(\xi)) \, \mathrm{d}\xi.\] Assuming the number $d$ of variables is also fixed, what is a good upper bound of $|I_P|$? In this...

The dissipation properties of transport noise
Franco Flandoli
4:30pm|Remote Access

In 2017 Lucio Galeati understood that a suitable scaling limit of certain hyperbolic PDEs with noise may lead to deterministic parabolic equations. Since then, in collaboration with Lucio and Dejun Luo, we have understood the phenomenon from several...

Graph comparison
Anton Petrunin
4:30pm|Remote Access

I will survey results related to graph comparison; graph comparison is a certain type of restriction on a metric spaces which is encoded by a given graph.

Spread of infections in random walkers
Allan Sly
4:30pm|Remote Access

We consider a class of interacting particle systems with two types, A and B which perform independent random walks at different speeds. Type A particles turn into type B when they meet another type B particle. This class of systems includes models...
