Quasilinear elliptic problems with quadratic gradient term. Comparison principle and Gelfand problems
We review some recent results concerning with the existence of positive solutions of the following problem
-Delta u +H(x,u,nabla u)= lambda f(u) in Omega,
u=0 on partial Omega,
where f is a continuous nonnegative function in [0,+infty) with f(0) > 0 and H is a Carathedory function defined on Omega times [0,+infty) times mathbb[R]^[N]. Specifically, we show how this problem provides a general framework to study Gelfand type problems. We give sufficient conditions to prove that there exists lambda^* > 0 such that the problem has a minimal solution u_lambda provided that 0 < = lambda < lambda^* and no solution if lambda > lambda^*. We pay special interest in the extension of the classical stability condition as well as a general comparison principle.

A comparison between different cycle decompositions for Metropolis dynamics
In the last decades the problem of metastability has been attacked on rigorous grounds via many different approaches and techniques which are briefly reviewed in this paper. It is then useful to understand connections between different point of views. In view of this we consider irreducible, aperiodic and reversible Markov chains with exponentially small transition probabilities in the framework of Metropolis dynamics. We compare two different cycle decompositions and prove their equivalence.

Sull'immagine sonora della città. La sfida della rappresentazione del paesaggio sonoro urbano tra nuove e vecchie tecnologie
Durante il seminario verranno esplorate le forme che gli strumenti classici dell'analisi dell'ambiente sonoro assumono all'interno dei campi disciplinari della acustica ambientale e degli studi sul paesaggio sonoro. In particolare, saranno messi in evidenza limiti e criticità dell’approccio quantitativo, proprio della legislazione vigente e praticato dalla pianificazione acustica tradizionale e sarà presentata la tesi che afferma la necessità di adottare un approccio di tipo qualitativo nei confronti dell'ambiente sonoro, attraverso una rivisitazione del concetto di rumore in chiave culturale basata sulla rilettura della storia della musica del novecento. Infine sarà illustrata la soundmap: uno strumento analitico e rappresentativo in grado di restituire le caratteristiche qualitative del suono che potrebbe contribuire al superamento dello scarto che esiste tra la rappresentazione dell'ambiente sonoro e la reale esperienza che ne facciamo ogni giorno, se integrato agli strumenti usati dalla pianificazione acustica tradizionale. Il seminario terminerà con l’illustrazione della mappa sonora ''tenera'' collettiva di Firenze, a cura dell’autrice, un esempio di soundmap per la città di Firenze, dove il paesaggio sonoro viene interpretato e rappresentato in chiave emozionale.

A positive density analogue of the Lieb-Thirring inequalities
The Lieb-Thirring inequalities give a bound on the negative eigenvalues of a Schroedinger operator in terms of an L^p norm of the potential. This is dual to a bound on the H^1-norms of a system of orthonormal functions. We extend these to analogous inequalities for perturbations of the Fermi sea of non-interacting particles, i.e., for perturbations of the continuous spectrum of the Laplacian by local potentials. (This is joint work with R. Frank, M. Lewin and E. Lieb.)

Reachability analysis and general control problems
In this talk, we will review some known results on the link between reachability analysis and optimal control problems in the deterministic setting. We will show how this link can be used to get a constructive way for the characterization of the epigraph of the value function of constrained control problems, without assuming any controllability assumption. Some extensions of these results to the stochastic setting will be also discussed.

A viscosity approach to the complex Monge-Ampere equation
In the first part of this talk i will give the basic definitions and examples concerning the viscosity method for differential equations, stressing the role of the comparison principle for viscosity sub- and super-solution in the study of the uniqueness and regularity of the solutions. In the second part I will describe how these techniques can be modified to fit into the setting of the complex Monge-Ampere equation, employing the pluripotential approach to the CMA equation in order to obtain the desired comparison principle for the viscosity solutions.

Error estimate for second order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations with unbounded coefficients. Application to chance-constrained control problems
In this talk, we will review some known results on the link between reachability analysis and optimal control problems in the deterministic setting. We will show how this link can be used to get a constructive way for the characterization of the epigraph of the value function of constrained control problems, without assuming any controllability assumption. Some extensions of these results to the stochastic setting will be also discussed.In this talk we shall present numerical approximations of unbounded value functions associated to some stochastic control problems. We derive new error estimates for monotone schemes based on Markov chain approximations, with a special focus on the case of unbounded coefficients and unbounded, possibly discontinuous, terminal data. One motivation of this study consists in extending the level set approach to chance-constrained control problems. A precise analysis of the level-set approach is carried out and some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the approach.

Abel, Jacobi and the double homotopy fibers
Let X be a Kähler complex manifold and let Z be a complex submanifold. Within the framework of derived deformation theory, the Abel-Jacobi map for the pair (X,Z) has a natural interpretation as a morphism from a homotopy fiber to a double homotopy fiber. Using this fact and the dictionary between formal moduli problems and differential graded Lie algebras up to homotopy, it is easy to describe a linear Lu221e-morphism encoding the Abel-Jacobi map, and in terms of this Lu221e-morphism it is immediate to reobtain the classical description of the differential of the Abel-Jacobi map as well as the result that Bloch's semiregularity map annihilates the obstructions to deforming Z inside X. This provides a geometrical interpretation of recent results by Iacono-Manetti and Pridham.

Arnold Diffusion via Invariant Cylinders and Mather Variational Method
The famous ergodic hypothesis claims that a typical Hamiltonian dynamics on a typical energy surface is ergodic. However, KAM theory disproves this. It establishes a persistent set of positive measure of invariant KAM tori. The (weaker) quasi-ergodic hypothesis, proposed by Ehrenfest and Birkhoff, says that a typical Hamiltonian dynamics on a typical energy surface has a dense orbit. This question is wide open. In early 60th Arnold constructed an example of instabilities for a nearly integrable Hamiltonian of dimension n > 2 and conjectured that this is a generic phenomenon, nowadays, called Arnold diffusion. In the last two decades a variety of powerful techniques to attack this problem were developed. In particular, Mather discovered a large class of invariant sets and a delicate variational technique to shadow them. In a series of preprints: one joint with P. Bernard, K. Zhang and one with K. Zhang and one with M. Guardia we prove strong form of Arnold's conjecture in dimension n=3.
