A stationary set method for estimating oscillatory integrals
4:30pm|Remote Access

Given a polynomial $P$ of constant degree in $d$ variables and consider the oscillatory integral \[I_P = \int_{[0,1]^d} e(P(\xi)) \, \mathrm{d}\xi.\] Assuming the number $d$ of variables is also fixed, what is a good upper bound of $|I_P|$? In this...

The dissipation properties of transport noise
Franco Flandoli
4:30pm|Remote Access

In 2017 Lucio Galeati understood that a suitable scaling limit of certain hyperbolic PDEs with noise may lead to deterministic parabolic equations. Since then, in collaboration with Lucio and Dejun Luo, we have understood the phenomenon from several...

Spread of infections in random walkers
Allan Sly
4:30pm|Remote Access

We consider a class of interacting particle systems with two types, A and B which perform independent random walks at different speeds. Type A particles turn into type B when they meet another type B particle. This class of systems includes models...

Planarity in Higher Codimension Mean Curvature Flow
Keaton Naff
4:30pm|Remote Access

We will discuss the mean curvature flow of $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ satisfying a pinching condition $|A|^2 c|H|^2$ introduced by Andrews and Baker (2010). For suitable constants $c$, these flows resemble flows of convex...

Index theorems for nodal count and a lateral variation principle
Gregory Berkolaiko
4:30pm|Remote Access

Our study is motivated by earlier results about nodal count of Laplacian eigenfunctions on manifolds and graphs that share the same flavor: a normalized nodal count is equal to the Morse index of a certain energy functional at the critical point...

Bogoliubov theory for trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
4:30pm|Remote Access

We consider systems of $N$ particles interacting through a repulsive potential in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. We prove complete Bose-Einstein condensation and we determine the form of the low-energy spectrum, in the limit of large $N$. Our results...
