On well-balanced finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin schemes for the Einstein-Euler system of general relativity

We present a new family of well-balanced discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element schemes with subcell finite volume (FV) limiter for the numerical solution of the Einstein–Euler equations of genera...

Vanishing negative K-theory and bounded t-structures

We will begin with a quick reminder of algebraic K-theory, and a few classical, vanishing results for negative K-theory. The talk will then focus on a striking 2019 article by Antieau, Gepner and Hell...

Recent developments on evolution equations on graphs

The seminar concerns the study of evolution equations on graphs, motivated by applications in data science and opinion dynamics. We will discuss graph analogues of the continuum nonlocal-interaction e...

Optimal Control and Reinforcement Learning

The talk discusses a framework to analyze certain model-based reinforcement learning algorithm. Roughly speaking, this approach consists in designing a model to deal with situations in which the syste...

Almost 100 years of Artin's conjecture

In 1927, Artin formulated his famous conjecture on primitive roots. The most basic question, which is still open, is as follows. For an odd prime number \(p\), we say that \(2\) is a primitive root mo...

Singular analysis of a shape optimization problem arising in population dynamic

When analyzing the survival threshold for a species in population dynamics, one is led to consider the principal eigenvalue of some indefinite weighted problems in a bounded domain. The minimization o...

Differential inclusions and polycrystals

We discuss a differential inclusion arising in the context of bounding effective conductiv- ities of polycrystalline composites. The datum is a set of three positive numbers identified with a positive...

Self-organizing equilibria in a Kuramoto mean field game

I will discuss a mean field game model on the synchronization of coupled oscillators, initially proposed by Yin, Mehta, Meyn, and Shanbhag, and recently examined by Carmona, Cormier, and Soner. This m...

Timelike Ricci bounds in the non-smooth setting: an optimal transport approach.

Optimal transport tools have been extremely powerful to study Ricci curvature, in particular Ricci lower bounds in the non-smooth setting of metric measure spaces (which can be been as a non-smooth ex...

Una disuguaglianza isoperimetrica per il funzionale della capillarità nel complementare di un convesso

Nel 2007 Choe-Ghomi and Ritoré hanno provato una disuguaglianza isoperimetrica che afferma che a parità di volume, il minimo del perimetro relativo di un insieme E fuori di un convesso C si realizza q...

Asymptotic properties of some non-coercive Hamiltonians

Several interesting asymptotic properties of Hamilton-Jacobi equations are based on the so-called critical value of the Hamiltonian H(x,p) and on the associated critical stationary H-J equation. In pa...

Critical points of semi-stable solutions on model spaces

We consider solutions of semilinear equations on domains of the model spaces of constant curvature S^2, R^2 and H^2. Under suitable conditions on the domain, we prove uniqueness an...
