Strutture geometriche e varietà iperboliche

AbstractUna struttura geometrica, o (G,X)-struttura, su uno spazio M consiste nel seguente dato: abbiamo un gruppo (di Lie) G che agisce transitivamente su uno spazio X e M è munito di un atlante di c...

Harmonic maps with free boundary and beyond

I will introduce a new heat flow for harmonic maps with free boundary. After giving some motivations to study such maps in relation with extremal metrics in spectral geometry, I will construct weak so...

The K(Π,1) conjecture

Artin groups are a generalization of braid groups, and arise as the fundamental groups of configuration spaces associated with Coxeter groups. A long-standing open problem, called the K(Π,1) conjectur...

Travelling through turnpikes in the Kinetic Schrödinger Problem

The Schrödinger problem consists in finding the most likely evolution of a system of i.i.d. particles, conditionally on their initial and final configurations. In the last decade this problem has beco...

Uniform apriori estimates for the Lane-Emden systems in the plane

We prove that positive solutions of the superlinear Lane-Emden system in a two-dimensional smooth bounded domain are bounded independently of the exponents in the system, provided the exponents are co...

A semi-Lagrangian/Lagrange-Galerkin method for mean field games problems

This talk is devoted to the numerical approximation of mean field games problems. We consider two cases: a first order problem, i.e the diffusion is null, and a second order problem. For the first one...

Struttura dell'insieme singolare di molteplicità 2 per superfici minime

Seminari degli  studenti di dottorato. In questo lavoro studiamo la struttura dell’insieme singolare delle funzioni a 2 di classe C^{1,α} su R^n il cui grafico è una varifold stazionaria di codim...

Variational methods for coarse graining with long range interactions

Seminari degli  studenti di dottorato. In this talk we will discuss the use of variational methods for investigating crystallization problems. In such problems the typical functionals considered ...

Degenerations of conical Kähler-Einstein metrics

We study the degenerations of conical Kähler-Einstein metrics when the cone angle becomes small. In particular, in the Fano case, we solve a question of Donaldson (2012). Joint work with Henri Guenanc...

Multi-lane vehicular flow models: the effects of lane changes on the traffic stability

This talk is devoted to the modeling and the stability of multi-lane traffic flow in the microscopic and macroscopic frameworks. First we present the study of a second order microscopic Follow-the-Lea...

On the cost of covering a fraction of a macroscopic body by a simple random walk.

In this talk we aim at establishing large deviation estimates for the probability that a simple random walk on the Euclidean lattice (d>2) covers a substantial fraction of a macroscopic body. It tu...
