Boundary effects in quantum system

Abstract:In this seminar I will present some of my research activities related to the rigorous analysis of a quantum particle confined in a bounded region of space. In the first part of the seminar I ...

Isomorphisms between W-algebras

To any vertex algebra one can attach invariants of different nature: its automorphism group, its character (a formal series), its associated variety (a Poisson variety), etc. In this talk, I will exp...

Component sizes in spatial random graphs

We consider a large class of spatially-embedded random graphs that includes among others long-range percolation, continuum scale-free percolation and the age-dependent random connection model. We assu...

The asymptotics of volume preserving geometric flows and a sharp quantitative Alexandrov inequality

Abstract: I will present a study on the asymptotic behavior of the volume preserving mean curvature and the Mullins-Sekerka flat flows in three dimensional space, for which we need to establish a ...

Test function approach to fully nonlinear equations in thin domains

In this seminar we will illustrate a work in collaboration with Ariela Briani and Hitoshi Ishii that extents the well known result on thin domains of Hale and Raugel. The test function approach of C. ...

Projections of nilpotent orbits in simple Lie algebras

Let \( G \) be a simple algebraic group and \( \mathcal O \subset \mathfrak g = Lie(G) \) a nilpotent orbit. If \( H \) is a reductive subgroup of \( G \), then \( \mathfrak g = \mathfrak h \oplus \ma...

Large deviations for a spatial particle process with coagulation

In this talk we consider a spatial version of the Marcus-Lushnikov process, which models the evolution of particles that merge pairwise in a series of coagulation events. The particles are equipped wi...

A bi-Hamiltonian nature of the Gaudin algebras

Let h be a direct sum of n copies of a simple Lie algebra g. In 1994, Feigin, Frenkel, and Reshetikhin constructed a large commutative subalgbera of the enveloping algebra U(h). This subalgebra, whic...

Diffusion of knowledge and the lottery society

Diffusion of knowledge models in macroeconomics describe the evolution of an interacting system of agents who perform individual Brownian motions (this is internal innovation) but also can jump on top...

Classical W-algebras, Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies and tau functions

Abstract:  Classical W-algebras W(g,O) are a family of Poisson vertex algebras associated to a simple Lie algebra g and a nilpotent orbit O. For (almost) every W(g,O) it is possible to construct ...
