Hard sphere gas by Hamilton-Jacobi: an analytical approach to combinatorial and geometrical objects

For the hard sphere gas, cumulants have been introduced to encode correlations between particles. In recent years, they have played a central role in the study of kinetic limits, fluctuations, and lar...

Matroids and the integral Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties

Hodge originally formulated his conjecture with integral coefficients. Atiyah and Hirzebruch showed in 1962 that it fails for torsion classes, and later Kollár produced non-torsion counterexamples. Si...

Entropy-minimizing optimal transport

I will discuss a variant of the classical optimal transport dynamical problem, in which the entropy along the curve is minimized additionally to the kinetic energy.This results into a regularizat...

Derivation of Hartree theory for 2D attractive Bose gases

In this talk, I will present recent results on two-dimensional Bose gases with attractive interactions. More precisely, I will discuss the validity of Hartree theory, which states that the ground stat...

Fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs in thin domains

I will describe the more recent developments starting from the results  contained in two joint works with I. Birindelli and  H. Ishii. In [1] we extend to fully nonlinear operators of the we...

Topological classification of chiral and particle-hole symmetric insulators in low dimension

Motivated by the study of periodic Hamiltonians enjoying chiral or particle-hole symmetry, like the SSH model or the Kitaev chain, we present a topological study of families of symmetric functions fro...

Harmonic functions on groups, random walks, and the identification of the Poisson boundary

The Poisson boundary is a measure-theoretic object attached to a group equipped with a probability measure, and is closely related to the notion of harmonic function on the group. In many cases, the g...

Rigidity results for Serrin-type problems on annular domains

We characterize rotationally symmetric solutions to the Serrin problem on ring-shaped domains in ℝn (n ≥ 3). Our proof relies on a comparison geometry argument. In particular, by taking advantage of a...

Rigidity results for Serrin-type problems on annular domains

We characterize rotationally symmetric solutions to the Serrin problem on ring-shaped domains in $\mathbb R^n$ (n ≥ 3). Our proof relies on a comparison geometry argument. In particular, by taking adv...

Collegare mente e macchine: apprendimento, memoria e adattamento dal cervello all’IA

L’iniziativa è organizzata dal gruppo “BrainJuice”, una rete di studenti e ricercatori attivi nella comunicazione e divulgazione scientifica nei campi delle neuroscienze e dell’intelligenza artificial...

Controlling the zero-temperature Ising model using Markov decision theory

The behavior of the Ising model under external control mechanisms is of interest in a wide variety of applications, including biological systems, social dynamics, and information processing. In this t...
