On the Lagrangian cobordism relation on Legendrian links
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Lagrangian cobordism induces a preorder on the set of Legendrian links in any contact 3-manifold. We show that any finite collection of null-homologous Legendrian links in a tight contact 3-manifold with a common rotation number has an upper bound...

$H^{1/2-}$ weak solutions of the 3D Euler equations
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, I will discuss joint work with Tristan Buckmaster, Nader Masmoudi, and Vlad Vicol in which we construct non-conservative solutions to the Euler equations which belong to the regularity class $C^0_t H^{1/2-}_x$. The motivation for such...

Totally nonparallel immersions
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

An immersion from a smooth n-dimensional manifold $M$ into $R^q$ is called totally nonparallel if, for every pair of distinct points $x$ and $y$ in $M$, the tangent spaces at $f(x)$ and $f(y)$ contain no parallel lines. The simplest example is the...

Euler flows with local energy dissipation
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The incompressible 3D Euler equations have total kinetic energy conservation for smooth (spatially periodic) solutions. In the recent resolution of the Onsager conjecture by Isett, on the other hand, below certain threshold Hölder regularity, Euler...
