Homogenization of a semilinear advection equation

Abstract: I will discuss the problem of homogenization for the Cauchy problem for a semilinear advection equation, where the drift coefficient is given by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type stationary in time...

Recent advances in structure-preserving numerical integration of differential problems: deterministic and stochastic aspects

The talk presents an overview of selected results regarding recent achievements in the field of structure-preserving numerical integration of deterministic and stochastic differential equations. The p...

Proprietà di trasporto in fluidi e cristalli: un approccio cinetico

Il trasporto di massa o di energia in un mezzo è spesso descritto da equazioni fenomenologiche. Esempi sono la legge di Fourier per il trasporto di energia in un cristallo e la legge di Fick che descr...

Alcune mie collaborazioni recenti al Castelnuovo

Accennerò brevemente ad alcune ricerche da me svolte negli ultimi anni o attualmente in corso con membri del dipartimento, riguardanti temi di ricerca di Calcolo delle Variazioni ed Equazioni alle der...

Spin Conductance and Spin Conductivity in Topological Insulators: Analysis of Kubo-like terms

Abstract: The last few decades witnessed an increasing interest, among solid state physicists, for physical phenomena having a topological origin. This interest traces back to the milestone paper by T...

Spin-boson models: controllability and Rotating Wave Approximation

Abstract: Spin-boson models describe the interaction between a 2-level quantum system and finitely many distinguished modes of a bosonic field. In this talk I will discuss two prototypical examples, t...

Riduzione di Modello PGD: Applicazione all'Elettrocardiologia

Tra le varie tecniche di riduzione di modello note in letteratura, la Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) si propone come un metodo particolarmente adatto per l’approssimazione di problemi differen...

Two characterizations of Dirichlet-Ferguson measures

We consider the Dirichlet-Ferguson (DF) measure, a random probability on a locally compact Polish space X introduced by Ferguson in [1]. The measure has ever since found many applications, widely rang...

Surface Superconductivity in Presence of Corners

Abstract: We consider an extreme type-II superconducting wire with non-smooth cross section, i.e., with one or more corners at the boundary, in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory. We prove th...

Efimov Effect for a system of two identical fermions and a different particle

Abstract: In 1970 the physicist V. Efimov pointed out that a system of three different particles, such that the two-particle interactions are short-range and resonant, have an infinite number of bound...

Active fludis: from liquid crystals to living systems

Abstract: Colonies of motile microorganisms, the cytoskeleton and its components, cells and tissues have much in common with soft condensed matter systems (i.e. liquid crystals, amphiphiles, colloids ...
