Growth of Sobolev norms for a quantum fluid system

Abstract: I will discuss the existence of turbulent solutions to a quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) system, with periodic boundary conditions. A suitable nonlinear change of variables (the Madelung transfor...

Brauer groups of moduli problems and enumerative geometry

The Brauer group, classifying Azumaya algebras up to Morita equivalence, is a fundamental invariant in number theory and algebraic geometry. Given a moduli problem M (e.g. smooth curves of a given gen...

Diffusion and mixing for two-dimensional Hamiltonian flows

We consider general two-dimensional autonomous velocity fields and prove that their mixing and dissipation features are limited to algebraic rates. As an application, we consider a standard cellular f...

Exploring numerical challenges in differential models with fractional derivatives

Fractional derivatives, a widely recognized mathematical tool, have gained considerable attention in recent decades owing to their non-local behavior, particularly suitable for capturing anomalous dif...

Aggregation-Diffusion model for opinion formation on networks

We study a system of nonlocal aggregation cross-diffusion PDEs that describe the evolution of opinion densities on a network. The PDEs are coupled with a system of ODEs that describe the time evolutio...

Punti razionali su 3-varietà con classe anticanonica nef su campi finiti

Abstract: Secondo la filosofia della congettura di Green-Griffiths-Lang, ci si aspetta che l'esistenza e la distribuzione dei punti razionali per le varietà che sono uniformemente non-iperboliche...

Dynamics of Hamiltonian PDEs

In this talk I will discuss some results about long time behaviors of solutions to Hamiltonian PDEs (Schrödinger, Kirchhoff, etc). In particular I will focus on a recent result where we (with J. Berni...

Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian and the Bilaplacian in Lipschitz domains

We are interested here in questions related to the maximal regularity of solutions of elliptic problems with Dirichlet boundary condition (see [1]). For the last 40 years, many works have been concern...

Hausdorff dimension of hyperconvex representations of surface groups

A discrete and faithful representation of a surface group in PSL(2,C) is said to be quasi-Fuchsian when it preserves a Jordan curve on the Riemann sphere. Classically these objects lie at the intersec...

Swarm-Based Gradient Descent Methods for Non-Convex Optimization

We discuss a novel class of swarm-based gradient descent (SBGD) methods for non-convex optimization. The swarm consists of agents, each is identified with position, x, and mass, m. There are three key...

A gluing construction of singular solutions for a fully non-linear equation in conformal geometry

We produce complete, non-compact, Riemannian metrics with positive constant \sigma_2-curvature on a sphere of dimension n>4, with a prescribed singular set given by a disjoint union of closed subma...
