Local eigenvalue statistics of random band matrices
Tatyana Shcherbina
1:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Random band matrices (RBM) are natural intermediate models to study eigenvalue statistics and quantum propagation in disordered systems, since they interpolate between mean-field type Wigner matrices and random Schrodinger operators. In particular...

On the long-term dynamics of nonlinear dispersive evolution equations
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We will give an overview of some of the developments in recent years dealing with the description of asymptotic states of solutions to semilinear evolution equations ("soliton resolution conjecture").

New results will be presented on damped...

Nodal sets of Laplace eigenfunctions
1:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Zero sets of Laplace eigenfunctions are called nodal sets. The talk will focus on propagation of smallness techniques, which are useful for estimates of the Hausdorff measure of the nodal sets.

Möbius disjointnes conjecture: uniform convergence and entropy
Mariusz Lemanczyk
3:30pm|S-101

A topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ is said to be Möbius disjointnes if \[\tag{$*$} \lim_{N\to\infty}\frac1N\sum_{n\leq N}f(T^nx)\mu(n)=0\] for all $f\in C(X)$ and $x\in X$ ($\mu$ stands for the classical Möbius function).Sarnak's conjecture from...

Concentration inequalities for linear cocycles and their applications to problems in dynamics and mathematical physics
2:00pm|S-101

Given a measure preserving dynamical system, a real-valued observable determines a random process (by composing the observable with the iterates of the transformation). An important topic in ergodic theory is the study of the statistical properties...

Spectral gaps without frustration
Marius Lemm
2:00pm|S-101

In spin systems, the existence of a spectral gap has far-reaching consequences. So-called "frustration-free" spin systems form a subclass that is special enough to make the spectral gap problem amenable and, at the same time, broad enough to include...

Nonuniqueness of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation
Tristan Buckmaster
2:00pm|S-101

For initial datum of finite kinetic energy Leray has proven in 1934 that there exists at least one global in time finite energy weak solution of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. In this talk, I will discuss very recent joint work with Vlad Vicol in...

Thin monodromy and Lyapunov exponents, via Hodge theory
11:00am|S-101

I will discuss a connection between monodromy groups of variations of Hodge structure and the global behavior of the associated period map. The large-scale information in the period map is contained in the Lyapunov exponents, which are invariants...

Time quasi-periodic gravity water waves in finite depth
Massimiliano Berti
2:30pm|West Building Lecture Hall

We prove the existence and the linear stability of Cantor families of small amplitude time quasi-periodic standing water waves solutions, namely periodic and even in the space variable $x$, of a bi-dimensional ocean with finite depth under the...
