Title Curves and surfaces with constant nonlocal mean curvature
Speaker, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Xavier Cabré, ICREA & UPC, Barcelona
Date, Time 27 September 2016, 15:15-16:15
Location HG G 43
Abstract The talk will be concerned with hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature. This is the equation associated to critical points of the fractional perimeter under a volume constraint. We first prove the nonlocal analogue of the Alexandrov result characterizing spheres as the only closed embedded hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with constant mean curvature. Our second result establishes the existence of periodic cylinders in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with constant nonlocal mean curvature and bifurcating from a straight cylinder. These are Delaunay type cylinders in the nonlocal setting. Here we use a Lyapunov-Schmidt procedure for a quasilinear type fractional elliptic equation. Finally, we prove the existence of different types of periodic lattices made of near-spheres and having constant nonlocal mean curvature.

Title On the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for a general class of parabolic equations
Speaker, Affiliation Dr. Paolo Baroni, Università degli Studi di Napoli
Date, Time 4 October 2016, 15:15-16:15
Location HG G 43
Abstract We consider a class of parabolic equations extending the evolutionary $p$-Laplacian in a natural way and we present some regularity results for solutions to the related Cauchy-Dirichlet problem. We shall also compare the local behaviour of solutions with the typical one of solutions to parabolic $p$-Laplace-type equations, both of singular and degenerate type, stressing differences and describing some open questions. The talk is based on a joint work with C. Lindfors (Aalto University, Helsinki).

Title Long time behavior of mean field games
Speaker, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Alessio Porretta, Università di Roma "Tor Vergata"
Date, Time 25 October 2016, 15:15-16:15
Location HG G 43
Abstract Mean field games theory, introduced by J.-M. Lasry and P.-L.Lions in 2006, describes the limit of Nash equilibria in N-persons differential games when the number of agents N tends to infinity. The mean field limit leads to a forward-backward system of PDEs coupling Hamilton-Jacobi with Fokker-Planck equations, which macroscopically describes a stochastic optimization problem in finite horizon, in which the strategy depends on the distribution law of the controlled dynamics. In this talk I will discuss the limit of mean field games systems as the horizon T tends to infinity, explaining how the ergodic behavior of the system can be described and in which sense a convergence to a stationary problem is observed. Such a study points out the connections with so-called turnpike solutions in optimal control problems and to uncoupling methods in mean field games systems.

Title Statistical solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws
Speaker, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Siddhartha Mishra, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Date, Time 8 November 2016, 14:15-15:15
Location HG G 43
Abstract Entropy solutions are widely accepted as the appropriate solution paradigm for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. However, in view of recent non-uniqueness results and numerical experiments that suggest lack of convergence of standard numerical methods, their appropriateness has been questioned and alternative solution paradigms sought for. One such framework are the entropy measure valued solutions (space-time parametrized probability measures on phase space). We present a recent convergent Monte-Carlo ensemble based algorithm for constructing these solutions. The algorithm is shown to converge once the underlying numerical schemes satisfy some verifiable hypothesis. However, entropy measure valued solutions are not necessarily unique, particularly when the solution is non-atomic. We will present a very recent attempt to constrain entropy measure valued solutions by requiring information about multi-point spatial correlations. The resulting concept of statistical solutions are time-parametrized probability measures on function spaces. We will present well-posedness for the scalar case and a conditional global existence result for systems by showing convergence of a Monte-Carlo based algorithm. Connections of statistical solutions with the Kolmogorov theory of turbulence are also discussed.

Title Title: The classification of minimal annuli in S(2)xR and CMC tori in S(3) via integrable system
Speaker, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Laurent Hauswirth, Université de Marne La Vallée
Date, Time 8 November 2016, 15:45-16:45
Location HG G 43
Abstract N. Hitchin introduced in 87 an algebraic correspondence between doubly-periodic harmonic map in S(2) or S(3) (the three dimensional sphere) with hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces S, called spectral curves. The period problem depends on the existence of an Abelian differential dh with prescribed poles on S. I will describe the construction of (S, dh) related to CMC annuli immersed in S(3) and minimal annuli in S(2)xR. We will study the differential structure on the space moduli of these surfaces induced by this representation. We describe how to navigate in the space of Alexandrov embedded surfaces by deformation of (S, dh). A global study of this algebraic representation give a complete classification of embedded CMC tori in S(3) via integrable system. Similar considerations will characterize a two-parameter family of annuli foliated by constant curvature curves in S(2)xR as the unique properly embedded minimal annuli.

Title Translating solitons of the mean curvature flow
Speaker, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Francisco Martin, University of Granada
Date, Time 15 November 2016, 15:15-16:15
Location HG G 43
Abstract A translator is a surface in $\R^3$ that (up to a tangential diffeomorphism) moves  with velocity $v=(0,0,-1)$ by MCF. Equivalently, the mean curvature at each  point is $H= (0,0,-1)^{\perp}.$ Besides vertical planes, one of the simplest examples of complete translators is the grim reaper cylinder. In this talk we will describe several existence and uniqueness results for complete translators which are graphs over planar domains. This is a joint work with D. Hoffman and B. White.
