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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Some prescribed curvature problems in differential geometry

An important class of problems in geometric analysis consists in deforming the metric of a surface (or higher-dimensional manifold) in suitable ways, so that the new metric has a prescribed value of c...

Alcuni risultati nella teoria matematica del gas rarefatto

Discuterò problemi e progressi recenti sulla dinamica statistica di un sistema deterministico di particelle classiche, nel limite cinetico che è governato, all'ordine principale, dall'equazione di Bol...

Hyperbolic hydrodynamic limits and thermodynamic entropy solutions

We study the hydrodynamic limit of a anharmonic chain subject to boundary condition in the hyperbolic space-time scale. By suitably adding noise to the Hamiltonian dynamics the macroscopic equation is...

Strutture algebriche con origine in fisica: W-algebre

Nel seminario si introdurrà la nozione di W-algebra che trova importanti applicazioni in teoria delle rappresentazioni e fisica matematica. Si presenterà un approccio sistematico allo studio delle W-a...

Algebre di vertice (di Poisson) in algebra, geometria e sistemi integrabili

Nel seminario si presenteranno delle applicazioni delle algebre di vertice e algebre di vertice di Poisson in algebra, geometria e sistemi integrabili. In particolare si introdurrà la nozione di W-alg...
