Dissipation Concentration in Two-Dimensional Fluids
Luigi De Rosa
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We give several constraints on the dissipation measure arising in the inviscid limit of two-dimensional incompressible fluids under minimal assumptions on the initial datum. None of them is replicable in three dimensions, highlighting the non...

Conformal Bootstrap for Probabilistic Models and the Spectral Theory of Automorphic Forms
Dalimil Mazac
4:15pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The conformal bootstrap has proven very powerful for analyzing reflection-positive conformal models. In my talk, I will review this method and suggest a way to generalize it beyond the reflection-positive case, drawing inspiration from the spectral...

Non-Uniqueness Of Locally Minimizing Clusters
Anna Skorobogatova
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Optimal bubble cluster problems concern the study of partitions of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into a fnite collection of chambers, some with finite volume and some with infinite volume. One looks for local minimizers of interfacial area subject to volume...

Fast Dynamo Action On The 3-Torus For Pulsed-Diffusions
Massimo Sorella
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

For the passive vector equation, the fast dynamo conjecture predicts exponential-in-time growth of the $L^2$ norm of the solution under the Lipschitz flow generated by a vector field, at a rate independent of the resistivity. We prove this...
