Scalar Curvature Seminar

Symmetries of Cosmological Cauchy Horizons with Non-Closed Orbits
Jim Isenberg
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We consider analytic, vacuum spacetimes that admit compact, non-degenerate Cauchy horizons. Many years ago Vince Moncrief and I proved that, if the null geodesic generators of such a horizon were all closed curves, then the enveloping spacetime...

Stability of the spacetime positive mass theorem in spherical symmetry
Marcus Khuri
11:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

We formulate a conjecture for the almost rigidity statement associated with the spacetime version of the positive mass theorem, and give examples to show how it is basically sharp if true. Furthermore we establish the conjecture under the assumption...

The inviscid limit for the Navier-Stokes equations with data analytic only near the boundary
Fei Wang
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We address the inviscid limit for the Navier-Stokes equations in a half space, with initial datum that is analytic only close to the boundary of the domain, and has finite Sobolev regularity in the complement. We prove that for such data the...

Ancient Solutions to Geometric Flows
10:15am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: Some of the most important problems in geometric evolution partial differential equations are related to the understanding of singularities. This usually happens through a blow up procedure near the singularity which uses the scaling...

Uniform Rectifiability via Perimeter Minimization
9:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: Quantitative geometric measure theory has played a fundamental role in the development of harmonic analysis, potential theory and partial differential equations on non-smooth domains. In general the tools used in this area differ greatly...
