Abstract: Entropy and irreversibility, two fundamental concepts underlying physical processes, and now also at the core of digital processes for simulation and evolution of artificial models. We will ...
This talk deals with the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. After some examples, we will see that this group satisfies some (but not all) properties of linear groups....
We discuss the large deviations asymptotic of the time-averaged empirical current in stochastic lattice gases in the limit in which both the number of particles and the time window diverges. For some ...
C'è una curiosa analogia tra i numeri primi e le lunghezze delle geodetiche chiuse primitive ("prime") sulla superficie modulare. Nel seminario introdurrò le geodetiche in considerazione e cercherò di...
We discuss models for reaction-diffusion phenomena based on hyperbolic equations. The standard approach uses parabolic systems, which are well suited to explain events such as heat transmission in clo...
Abstract: Rare events for dense random graphs are well described using the theory of large deviations and graphons. When graphs are sparse the picture is less clear, objects that describe globally the...
The fact that the flow of a hypersurface by its mean curvature can be seen as a gradient flow of the surface area has motivated an influential minimizing movement scheme (Almgren-Taylor-Wang, Luckhaus...
Abstract: In contrast to their classical counterparts, one-dimensional quantum spin systems are interesting, they have intriguing behaviour, and they are difficult to study. I will describe a family o...
After reviewing some basic properties of holomorphic Poisson geometry, we will present a decomposition result in the Kähler case: if a compact Kähler Poisson manifold has a compact symplectic leaf wit...
In this talk we aim to describe well-balanced Lagrange-projection schemes that can be exploited for the numerical simulation of not only geophysical but also biological flows. In a few words, such met...
This talk describes a novel subface flux-based Finite Volume (FV) method for discretizing multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws of general unstructured grids. The subface flux nume...
In [Inv. Math., 1978], Morgan proved that almost every curve in R^3 is the boundary of a unique area minimizing surface. I will show how to extend Morgan's result to surfaces of any dimension and codi...
