Some questions from the nonlinear theory of electromagnetism of Born-Infeld
In this talk, I will discuss some questions related to the nonlinear theory of electromagnetism formulated by Born and Infeld in 1934. I will discuss the link between this theory and the curvature operators in the Euclidean and in the Lorentz-Minkowski space. I will address the solvability of the electrostatic Born-Infeld equation with sources (and a model driven by the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation) emphasizing the open questions and the partial recent progress we made. Finally, I will present some more academic results related to the curvature operator in the Lorentz-Minkowski space and the solvability of some scalar field type equations.

Modeling amoeboidal cell motion - force vs speed
In this talk I will describe two models of amoeboidal cell motion. Both models are force based. One focuses on cell-cell interactions and how an aggregate of cells moves. The other model includes random switching terms and models individual cell motion. The biological implications of both models will be discussed.

The Moser-Trudinger embedding on the unit disk
We study the Moser-Trudinger equation Delta u = L u exp(u^2), L > 0 on a 2-dimensional disk, arising from the Moser-Trudinger sharp embedding of H^1_0(Disk) into the Orlicz space of functions u with exp(u^2) integrable. We answer some long standing open questions: a) The weak limit of a blowing-up sequence of solutions to the Moser-Trudinger equation on a disk is 0. b) The Dirichlet energy of a blowing-up sequence of solutions on adisk converges to 4pi. c) For L large enough, the Moser-Trudinger equation on a disk admits no solution with Dirichlet energy larger than L. This work is joint project with Andrea Malchiodi (SISSA).

Stochastic quantization, paraproducts and all that
The stochastic quantization equation is a simple model for the kind of problems linked to locality and non-triviality of quantum field theories. In this talk we review recent advances in understanding of the functional analytic structure of solutions to non-linear SPDEs and their application to the study of the stochastic quantization of a scalar field in 3 dimensions. These advances have been possible thanks to a generalization of the theory of (controlled) rough paths which allows a pathwise formulation to stochastic differential equations driven by irregular signal. In particular we discuss the role of multiscale decomposition of distributions and of the notion of paraproduct in the analysis of this problem.

Feynman graphs, trees and combinatorial Dyson-Schwinger equations, I
Feynman graphs are used in Quantum Field Theory to represent the possible interactions between the particles studied by the theory. They are used to compute certain physical constants (mass or charge of the electron, for example). For this, several infinite series of Feynman graphs are considered; they can be uniquely defined as the solution of a certain system of equations, called the combinatorial Dyson-Schwinger equations of the system. Moreover, the combinatorial operations on Feynman graphs (insertion, extraction contraction) give them a structure of a Hopf algebra. The solution of the Dyson-Schwinger system should be compatible with this algebraic structure, and this imposes strong conditions on the system itself. We present a classification of the systems which satisfy these conditions, with the help of the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra and its universal property, which allows to replace Feynman graphs by rooted trees.

I grafi e la geometria algebrica
In questo seminario vedremo come la teoria (puramente combinatoriale) dei grafi e la (sofisticata) teoria dei moduli delle curve in geometria algebrica hanno interagito tra loro in anni recenti fino ad oggi.

Massless Winger particles in conformal field theory are free
We show that in a conformal Haag-Kastler net, its massless particle spectrum is generated by a free field subnet.
