Abstract: Let M be a smooth manifold in an Euclidean space; consider the motion of a material point on M in absence of friction. The D'Alembert Principle says that the acceleration vector is orthogonal to the tangent space to M, and this fact...

Abstract: I will discuss some questions related to turbulence.

The study of nodal sets, i.e. zero sets of eigenfunctions, on geometric objects can be traced back to De Vinci, Galileo, Hook, and Chladni. Today it is a central subject of spectral geometry. Sturm (1836) showed that the n-th eigenfunction of the...

Abstract: We consider the density properties of divergence-free vector fields $b \in L^1([0,1],\BV([0,1]^2))$ which are ergodic/weakly mixing/strongly mixing: this means that their Regular Lagrangian Flow $X_t$ is an ergodic/weakly mixing/strongly...

Abstract: The incompressible porous media (IPM) equation describes the evolution of density transported by an incompressible velocity field given by Darcy’s law. Here the velocity field is related to the density via a singular integral operator...

Abstract:   I will discuss the construction of continuous solutions to the incompressible Euler equations that exhibit local dissipation of energy and the surrounding motivations.  A significant open question, which represents a strong form of the...

Abstract. I will describe a new geometric approach for the shock formation problem for the Euler equations.   A complete description of the solution along the hypersurface of first singularities or preshocks will be given.
