Equidistribution of Noether-Lefschetz loci

Let V−>B be a holomorphic family of smooth complex projective and polarized varieties. The Noether-Lefschetz locus of B is the set of points x where the Picard rank jumps, i.e. where H_2(V_x) has e...

Two anyon Schroedinger operators

Abstract: Anyons are quantum particles with statistics intermediate between bosons and fermions, arising in less than 3 dimensions. There are two possible approaches: one uses multi-valued wave functi...

Conformally invariant random fields, quantum Liouville measures, and random Paneitz operators on Riemannian manifolds of even dimension

On large classes of closed even-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M, we construct and study the Copolyharmonic Gaussian Field, i.e. a conformally invariant log-correlated Gaussian field of distribution...

Are solutions of reaction-diffusion equations asymptotically 1D ?

The symmetry of solutions of elliptic equations is a classical and challenging problem in PDE, connected with stability. In this talk we are concerned with parabolic equations and we ask whether the 1...

Free boundary minimal surfaces with connected boundary and arbitrary genus

Besides their self-evident geometric significance, which can be traced back at least to Courant, free boundary minimal surfaces also naturally arise in partitioning problems for convex bodies, in capi...

Singularly-perturbed elliptic functionals: Γ-convergence and stochastic homogenisation

In this talk we introduce a general class of singularly-perturbed elliptic functionals Fε and we study their asymptotic behaviour as the perturbation parameter ε > 0 vanishes. Under suitable assump...

Existence and regularity of Faber-Krahn minimizers in a Riemannian manifold

We consider the problem of finding domains that minimize the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a Riemannian manifold under volume constraint (Faber-Krahn minimizers). In the Euclidean set...

Segregation in predator-prey models and the emergence of territoriality

I report here on a series of joint works with Alessandro Zilio (Université de Paris) about systems of competing predators interacting with a single prey. We focus on the analysis of stationary states,...

Long time behaviour of solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations for sub-Riemannian control systems

Sub-Riemannian systems are an important class of nonlinear control systems with linear dependence on controls. Controllability properties for such systems are derived by the so-called Lie Algebra rank...

Metodi numerici per problemi differenziali di larga scala: riduzione di modelli, modelli data-driven e controllo ottimo.

Il mio principale tema di ricerca è l'approssimazione di problemi su larga scala per equazioni alle derivate parziali (PDE). Ciò coinvolge metodi numerici che risolvono PDE in tempo reale mediante tec...

Sulle superfici sferiche con punti conici.

Una superficie sferica con punti conici è una varietà reale, compatta, orientata, di dimensione 2, che può essere ottenuta dall'unione disgiunta di finiti triangoli sferici convessi, identificando iso...

Alcuni risultati sul calcolo di potenziali multidimensionali

Inizialmente presenterò alcuni risultati riguardanti il calcolo di potenziali di volume basati sull' "approximate approximation" delle relative densità mediante funzioni gaussiane o funzioni ad esse c...
