Titel Algebraic equations characterizing hyperbolic surface spectra

Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract Given a compact hyperbolic surface together with a suitable choice of orthonormal basis of Laplace eigenforms, one can consider two natural spectral invariants: 1) the Laplace spectrum Lambda, and 2) the 3-tensor C_{ijk} representing pointwise multiplication (as a densely defined map L^2 x L^2 -> L^2) in the given basis. Which pairs (Lambda,C) arise this way? Both Lambda and C are highly transcendental objects. Nevertheless, we will give a concrete and almost completely algebraic answer to this question, by writing down necessary and sufficient conditions in the form of equations satisfied by the Laplace eigenvalues and the C_{ijk}. This answer was conjectured by physicists, who introduced these equations (in an equivalent form) as a rigorous model for the crossing equations in conformal field theory.

Titel Log-concave measures can have interior hot spots

Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract Let u(x,t) be the temperature distribution of a d-dimensional convex domain at time t with given initial temperature u(x,0) and insulating boundary. The hot-spots conjecture of Rauch asserts that for large times, the maximum of the function x -> u(x,t) is taken near the boundary of the domain. Equivalently, the conjecture asserts that the first nontrivial Neumann Laplace eigenfunction of a convex domain takes its maximum (and minimum) in the boundary. A general philosophy in convex analysis is that dimension free statements about convex sets imply an analogous, dimension-free statement about log-concave measures. In this talk I will construct the log-concave analogue to the hot spots conjecture, and construct a counterexample for it in high dimensions.

Titel Absolute continuity of the Robin harmonic measure on irregular domains
Referent:in, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Guy David, Université de Paris Sud (Orsay)
Datum, Zeit 1. Oktober 2024, 15:30-16:30
Ort HG G 19.1
Abstract This will describe joint work with Decio, Engelstein, Mayboroda, Michetti, with help of Filoche. The main question is the boundary behavior of harmonic functions on a domain in Euclidean space, subject to a Robin condition on the boundary $\frac{\partial u}{\partial n} + a u = f$, where $a > 0$ is a positive parameter and $f$ is the data, and measured by the Robin analogue of the harmonic measure on the boundary. For the Dirichlet condition $u = f$ on the boundary, we get the usual harmonic measure and it is known that its absolute continuity with respect to surface measure is a subtle issue. For the Robin condition, it turns out that the situation is much simpler, even on domains with a fractal boundary.

Abstract I will discuss a joint work with Keefer Rowan (Courant Institute, NYU) in which we show exponential mixing of passive scalars advected by a solution to the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations with finitely many (e.g. four) forced modes satisfying a hypoellipticity condition. Our proof combines the asymptotic strong Feller framework of Hairer and Mattingly with the mixing theory of Bedrossian, Blumenthal, and Punshon-Smith.

Ort HG G 43
Abstract Can two minimal surfaces touch each other to infinite order at a point without coinciding in a neighborhood of the point? Intuition from the theory of unique continuation for elliptic PDEs suggests this should not happen. Of course, part of the game here is to specify the notion of minimal surface. In joint work with Camillo Brena we give an answer to an instance of the question above: if an m-dimensional area minimizing integral current has infinite order of contact at a point with an m-dimensional surface with zero mean curvature then the current coincides with the surface in a neighborhood of the point.

Abstract In this talk, I will discuss vortex dynamics in the planar Euler equations, focusing on two key aspects. First, I will present a rigorous derivation of leapfrogging quartets of concentrated vortex patches near singular time-periodic relative equilibria of the point vortex system, using KAM theory. In the second part, I will show how to extend these techniques to desingularize time-periodic vortex orbits when the Euler equation is set in a generic bounded simply-connected domain. Specifically, we can prove that for a single point vortex, under certain non-degeneracy conditions, it is possible to desingularize most of these trajectories into time-periodic concentrated vortex patches.

Titel Unstable vortices and sharp non-uniqueness for the forced SQG equation
Referent:in, Affiliation Dr. Francisco Mengual, Max Planck Institute Leipzig
Datum, Zeit 12. November 2024, 15:15-16:15
Ort HG G 43
Abstract In the groundbreaking works [2,3], Vishik proved non-uniqueness for the 2D Euler equation with forcing, below the Yudovich well-posedness class. A nice exposition of this result can be found in [1]. In this talk, we present a simpler proof and show how to extend the result to the Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) equation. Specifically, we prove non-uniqueness for the forced $\alpha$-SQG equation in $H^s$ for any $s<1+\alpha$ and $0\leq\alpha\leq 1$. This family of active scalar equations interpolates between the 2D Euler equation ($\alpha=0$) and the SQG equation ($\alpha=1$). This is a joint work with Castro, Faraco and Solera. [1] D.

Titel Recent progress on the regularity of n-harmonic maps

Datum, Zeit 26. November 2024, 15:15-16:15
Ort HG G 43
Abstract The full regularity of harmonic maps from a given surface into an arbitrary Riemannian manifold has been proved by Hélein in 1991. This is not true anymore when the domain has dimension strictly greater than 2, Rivière constructed an example of harmonic map from a 3-dimensional domain which is everywhere discontinuous in 1995. There are many possible generalizations of these maps to the higher dimensional case in order to recover the regularity of some "optimal" maps. For most of these generalizations, the full regularity in the general case is still open. In this talk, we will discuss some recent progress obtained for n-harmonic maps. This is a joint work with Armin Schikorra.

Abstract In this talk, I will present a geometric (to say that it also works in the case of ambient Riemannian manifolds) notion of codimension-two fractional mass that Gamma-converges to the (n-2)-dimensional Hausdorff measure. I will also discuss possible extensions to higher codimension and applications to the construction of minimal surfaces in codimension two. The talk is based on a joint work with Mattia Freguglia and Nicola Picenni.

Abstract I will introduce the problem of minimizing area among Lagrangian submanifolds in a Riemannian symplectic manifold, and the related problem for Legendrian submanifolds in a contact manifold. This constrained variational problem was introduced by Schoen and Wolfson with the aim of constructing Lagrangian minimal surfaces and Special Lagrangians. I will explain the connection between the Lagrangian and Legendrian problem, what is known in two dimensions, what goes wrong in higher dimension and some new progress in this direction.
