Special Year Research Seminar

On Recent Developments in Pointwise Ergodic Theory
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

This will be a survey talk about recent progress on pointwise convergence problems for multiple ergodic averages along polynomial orbits and their relations with the Furstenberg-Bergelson-Leibman conjecture.

Remarks on the long-time dynamics of 2D Euler
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We will discuss some old and new results concerning the long-time behavior of solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations.  Specifically, we discuss whether steady states can be isolated, wandering for solutions starting nearby...

Positive Lyapunov exponents and mixing in stochastic fluid flow. Part III
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In this three-part lecture series, we will present a series of works by Bedrossian, Blumenthal and Punshon-Smith on the chaotic mixing and enhanced dissipation properties of a passive tracer subject to the motion of an ergodic Markovian flow of...

Metrics of constant Chern scalar curvature
Xi Sisi Shen
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We discuss the existence problem of constant Chern scalar curvature metrics on a compact complex manifold. We prove a priori estimates for these metrics conditional on an upper bound on the entropy, extending a recent result by Chen-Cheng in the...

Global well-posedness for the 2D one-phase Muskat problem
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will present a recent result jointly with Francisco Gancedo (Universidad de Sevilla) and Huy Q. Nguyen (University of Maryland), in which we obtained the global well-posedness for the 2D one-phase Muskat problem with arbitrary large Lipschitz...

Singularity formation for reduced models of fluid equations
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The non-resistive electron magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) has some peculiar connection with the Euler equation. Some one-dimensional reduced models are suggested as an attempt to build intuition toward understanding the nonlinear structure and dynamics...

On the distribution of the Hodge locus
Emmanuel Ullmo
3:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

The lecture will discuss a joint work with Gregorio Baldi and Bruno Klingler.  Given a polarized Z-VHS over a complex, smooth quasi-projective variety S, we describe some properties of the Hodge locus, a countable union of algebraic subvarieties of...
