The analytic theory of periodic anomalous waves of the nonlinear Schrodinger model
The focusing Nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation is the simplest model describing the modulation instability (MI) of quasi monochromatic waves in weakly nonlinear media, and MI is considered the main physical mechanism for the appearance of anomalous waves (AWs) in nature. We present the solution, to leading order, of the NLS Cauchy problem for periodic initial perturbations of the unstable background solution, in the case of a finite number of unstable modes, and some of its consequences.

Limiti di curvature non locali e dei corrispondenti flussi geometrici
In questo seminario introduciamo una nozione di convergenza per curvature non locali che garantisce la convergenza dei corrispondenti flussi geometrici. Forniremo vari esempi ed in particolare caratterizzeremo i casi limite dei moti per curvatura media frazionaria. (In collaborazione con A. Cesaroni, L. De Luca, M. Novaga.)

Order reduction methods for solving large-scale nonlinear differential matrix equations
Nonlinear differential matrix equations generally stem from the semi-discretization on a rectangular grid of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). The two main challenges related to approximating the solution of such matrix equations includes the high computational cost of time integrating the system when the matrices have large dimensions, as well as the cost related to evaluating the time-dependent nonlinear term at each timestep. In this presentation we give a brief overview of how model order reduction (MOR) techniques can be applied to lighten the computational load of approximating these matrix equations. Moreover, we consider in more detail the case where the nonlinear term is a special quadratic matrix function, better known as the differential Riccati equation (DRE). We show that great computational and memory advantages are obtained by order reduction methods onto fully rational Krylov subspaces and we discuss several crucial issues such as efficient

A second order semi-Lagrangian discretization of the advection-diffusion-reaction equation
Advection-diffusion-reaction equations have a multitude of applications, such as in climate, water  and air quality models, or in short and medium range weather forecasting. Due to the potentially  very large number of equations of this kind that have to be solved in order to describe such  physical processes, every efficiency gain in the numerical discretization used for this very  classical problem is of great practical importance. We propose a fully semi-Lagrangian method for  the numerical solution of advection-diffusion-reaction equations that employs a second order  semi-Lagrangian scheme. Standard interpolation procedures are used for reconstructing the solution in the foot of the characteristics, using both structured and unstructured meshes for the space  discretization. We also propose a numerical treatment of Dirichlet boundary conditions. The method  allows for large time steps, while avoiding the solution of large linear systems, since it follows  an explicit approach. The work is completed by numerical experiments that demonstrate the  effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Some rigidity results for billiards and hyperbolic flows
In a project with P. Bálint, J. De Simoi and V. Kaloshin, we have been studying the inverse problem for a class of open dispersing billiards obtained by removing from the plane a finite number of smooth strictly convex scatterers satisfying a non-eclipse condition. The dynamics of such billiards is hyperbolic (Axiom A), and there is a natural labeling of periodic orbits. We show that it is generically possible, in the analytic category and for billiard tables with two (partial) axial symmetries, to determine completely the geometry of those billiards from the purely dynamical data encoded in their Marked Length Spectrum (lengths of periodic orbits + marking). An important step is the obtention of asymptotic estimates for the Lyapunov exponents of certain periodic points accumulating a reference periodic point, which turn out to be useful in the study of other rigidity problems. In particular, I will explain the results obtained in a joint work with J. De Simoi, K. Vinhage and Y. Yang on the question of entropy rigidity for 3-dimensional Anosov flows and dispersing billiards.

The Physarum computer: shortest path problems and beyond
Physarum polycephalum is a slime mold, a simple acellular organism. It was observed in wet lab experiments that this slime mold is able to solve shortest path problems. We consider a mathematical model proposed by biomathematicians for the network dynamics of the slime mold, and discuss how this model solves several nontrivial computational problems. The Physarum computing model yields examples of "natural algorithms", that is, algorithms developed by evolution over millions of years.

Quantity vs. size in representation theory
Indecomposable modules over a finite-dimensional algebra R are largely thought of as the building blocks of the module category of R. A famous theorem of Auslander, Fuller-Reiten and Ringel-Tachikawa, states that a finite-dimensional algebra admits only finitely many indecom-posable modules up to isomorphism if and only if every indecomposable module is finite-dimen-sional. This establishes a correlation between quantity (of indecomposable finite-dimensional modules) and size (of indecomposable modules). In this talk, we will take a macroscopic view of the module category and look at certain subcate-gories of modules rather than individual modules. Our focus will be on torsion pairs, which are orthogonal decompositions of the module category. We will show that a finite-dimensional algebra admits only finitely many torsion classes if and only if every torsion class is generated by a finite-dimensional module. Time permitting, I will also make a few comments on how this relation between quantity and size transfers to the derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra. This talk is based on joint works with Lidia Angeleri Hügel, Frederik Marks and David Pauksztello.
