In spite of tremendous progress in the mean-field theory of spin glasses in the last forty years, culminating in Giorgio Parisi’s Nobel Prize in 2021, the more “realistic” short-range spin glass models have remained almost completely intractable. In...

Interaction models discussed here are the (asymmetric) quantum Rabi model (QRM), which describes the interaction between a photon and two-level atoms, and the non-commutative harmonic oscillator (NCHO). The latter can be considered as a covering...

What happens to an Lp function when one truncates its Fourier transform to a domain? This question is now rather well understood, thanks to famous results by Marcel Riesz and Charles Fefferman, and the answer depends on the domain: if it is a...

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting on a closed manifold $M$. Partially motivated by work of Uhlenbeck (1976), we explore the generic properties of Laplace eigenfunctions associated to $G$-invariant metrics on $M$. We find that, in the case where...

This talk will be about the polynomial method and its applications to questions that have traditionally been tackled by Fourier analysis, with emphasis on the Kakeya conjecture, the cap set problem, arithmetic progressions in dense sets, and the...

We discuss an application of the SUSY approach to the analysis of spectral characteristics of hermitian and non hermitian random band matrices. In 1D case the obtained integral representations for correlation functions of characteristic polynomials...

At the base of spontaneous pattern formation is universally believed to be the competition between short range attractive and long range repulsive forces. Though such a phenomenon is observed in experiments and simulations, a rigorous understanding...

There has been much recent progress on the local solution theory for geometric singular SPDEs. However, the global theory is still largely open. In my talk, I will discuss the global well-posedness of the stochastic Abelian-Higgs model in two...

An inertial manifold is a positively invariant smooth finite-dimensional manifold which contains the global attractor and which attracts the trajectories at a uniform exponential rate. It follows that the infinite-dimensional dynamical system is...

Fourier Quasicrystals (FQ) are defined as crystalline measures $$ \mu = \sum_{\lambda \in \Lambda} a_\lambda \delta_\lambda, \quad \hat{\mu} = \sum_{s \in S} b_s \delta_s, $$ so that not only $ \mu $ (and hence $ \hat{\mu} $) are tempered...

The classical Serrin’s overdetermined theorem states that a C^2 bounded domain, which admits a function with constant Laplacian that satisfies both constant Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, must necessarily be a ball. While extensions of...

In this talk, we will explore recent developments in the study of coherent structures evolving by incompressible flows. Our focus will be on the behavior of fluid interfaces and vortex filaments. We include the dynamics of gravity Stokes interfaces...

I will describe the duality of incompressible Navier-Stokes fluid dynamics in three dimensions, leading to its reformulation in terms of a one-dimensional momentum loop equation.
The decaying turbulence is a solution of this equation equivalent to a...

The question of asbolute continuity, with respect to the reference measure, of the harmonic measure on a domain with rough boundary has been the object of many important results. Here we ask about the similar question, but where the Dirichlet...

In this talk, I will present several a priori interior and boundary trace estimates for the 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes equation, which recover and extend the current picture of higher derivative estimates in the mixed norm. Then we discuss the...

In this overview talk we will explore a variational approach to the problem of Spectral Minimal Partitions (SMPs).  The problem is to partition a domain or a manifold into k subdomains so that the first Dirichlet eigenvalue on each subdomain is as...

This talk is about the study of the Boltzmann equation in the diffusive limit in a channel domain $\mathbb{T}^2\times (-1,1)$ nearby the 3D kinetic Couette flow.  We will begin the talk with a substantial introduction for non-experts.  Our result...

Suppose f is a function with Fourier transform supported on the unit sphere in $R^d$. Elias Stein conjectured in the 1960s that the $L^p$ norm of f is bounded by the $L^p$ norm of its Fourier transform, for any $p> 2d/(d-1)$.  We propose to study...

More than 120 years ago, Minkowski published a seminal paper that laid the foundation for the field of convex geometry (as well as several other areas of mathematics). Despite numerous advances in the intervening years, there are fundamental...

A minimal partition is a decomposition of a manifold into disjoint sets that minimizes a spectral energy functional. In the bipartite case minimal partitions are closely related to eigenfunctions of the Laplacian, but in the non-bipartite case they...

In this talk, I will discuss some results concerning the geometry and topology of manifolds on which the first eigenvalue of the operator -γΔ + Ric is bounded below. Here, γ is a positive number, Δ is the Laplacian, and Ric denotes the pointwise...

Parallels between elliptic and parabolic theory of partial differential equations have long been explored. In particular, since elliptic theory can be seen as a steady-state version of parabolic theory, if a parabolic estimate holds, then by...

I will present recent work with Hairer, Rosati and Yi establishing quantitative lower bounds for the top Lyapunov exponent of linear PDEs driven by two-dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equations on the torus. For both the advection-diffusion...

In the early 80s Hatcher proved the Smale Conjecture, asserting that the diffeomorphism group of the three-sphere retracts onto its isometry group.  The corresponding problem for $RP^3$ was open nearly 40 years, and resolved only in 2019 by a...
