How regular is the maximal function of a given function?
Sala Multiuso 1° piso, edificio Felipe Villanueva
Abstract:
Maximal operators are a central object in harmonic analysis. The regularity theory of such objects has been an object of study formany authors over the last decades. However, even in the one dimensional case, there are still interesting questions that remain open. In this talk, we will discuss recent developments and open questions about this topic, particularly about the boundedness and continuity for such operators at the derivative level and regularity improving properties of these operators.

Eigenvalue problems and free boundary minimal surfaces in spherical caps
Sala 2
Abstract:
In a recent work with Ana Menezes (Princeton University), we introduced a family of functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a compact surface with boundary, defined via eigenvalues of a Steklov-type problem. In this talk I will present the ideas behind the following results: each such functional is uniformly bounded from above, and the maximizing metrics are induced by free boundary minimal immersions in some geodesic ball of a round sphere;  the maximizer in the case of a disk is a spherical cap of dimension two;  free boundary minimal annuli in geodesic balls of round spheres which are immersed by first eigenfunctions are rotationally symmetric.

The Cauchy problem for nonlinear dispersive models of long internal waves in the presence of the Coriolis force
Sala 2
Abstract:
We are engaged in an examination of two models concerning long internal waves, taking into consideration the influence of rotation. Mathematically, the rotational effect will be incorporated into the Benjamin-Ono and Intermediate Long Wave equations as an additional nonlocal term, symbolizing the Coriolis Force. This force induces a deviation in the course of the fluid's trajectory. Its salience is notably pronounced in investigations pertaining to atmospheric and oceanic phenomena, wherein the rotational effects of the Earth hold substantial sway. Specifically, the goal is to establish the global well-posedness of this models in the energy space and to obtain an unconditional uniqueness result for the solution in appropriate Sobolev-type spaces. Through the application of the method of space-frequency-localized energy estimates, we can recover the 'Energy spaces', within which we can demonstrate outcomes such as the propagation of regularity, asymptotic stability, decay, and other results where energy-based methods are imperative.

Constant sigma_2-curvature metrics with non isolated singularities
Sala 2
Abstract:
We study construction of a complete non-compact Riemannian metrics with positive constant $\sigma_2$-curvature, on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ with a prescribed singular set $\Lambda$ given by a disjoint union of closed submanifolds whose dimension is positive and strictly less than $\frac{n-\sqrt{n}-2}{2}$. A necessary condition is that $2 \leq 2k < n$.

Semilinear elliptic equations involving nonlinearities with zeros
Sala 2
Abstract:
In this talk we review some results concerning with the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for semilinear elliptic problems resembling the following form where $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 3$, $f$ is a locally Lipschitz function defined in $[0,+\infty)$, which is nonnegative with a positive zero, and $\lambda$ is a positive parameter. We will also explore how these results can be extended to the fractional operators.

On the collapse of the local Rayleigh condition for the hydrostatic Euler equations
Sala 2
Abstract:
The hydrostatic Euler equations are derived from the incompressible Euler equations by means of the hydrostatic approximation. Among the different stability criteria that arise in the study of linear stability for the incompressible Euler equations, we can mention Rayleigh's stability criterion, which gives rise to the local Rayleigh condition. Linear and nonlinear instability of the hydrostatic Euler equations around certain shear flows is well-known, as well as the finite time blow-up of certain solutions that do not satisfy the local Rayleigh condition. On the other hand, local existence, uniqueness and stability has been established in Sobolev spaces under the local Rayleigh condition. In this talk I will present new features of the $H^4$ solution to the hydrostatic Euler equations under the local Rayleigh condition; under certain assumptions, we establish the dichotomy between the breakdown of the local Rayleigh condition and the formation of singularities. Additionally, we get necessary conditions for global solvability in Sobolev spaces. As a byproduct, we show the $x$-independence of stationary solutions. Our proof relies on new monotonicity identities for the solution to the hydrostatic Euler equations under the local Rayleigh condition.

Boundary rigidity problem under the presence of a magnetic field and a potential
Sala 2
Abstract:
The boundary rigidity problem asks if it is possible to determine the Riemannian metric on a compact manifold, up to a boundary fixing isometry, from the knowledge of the boundary distance function. In this talk I will discuss the solution to this problem in dimension 2, and what is known for the magnetic case, and the magnetic case with potential. Finally, and if time allows it, I will briefly discuss some open problems and recent results.

Regularity estimates with optimized constants
Sala 2
Abstract:
We present several classical regularity estimates for general uniformly elliptic operators of second order with unbounded coefficients, giving explicit and optimal dependence of the constants in these inequalities in terms of Lebesgue norms of the lower order coefficients of the operator, and the size of the domain. Among these estimates are the interior and global Harnack inequalities, the Hopf lemma, $L^\infty$-estimates, and logarithmic gradient estimates. Applications include the Landis conjecture and the Vazquez strong maximum principle for operators with unbounded coefficients.

Una nueva visión para el Laplaciano fraccionario via redes neuronales profundas
Sala 1
Abstract:
Esta charla se enfocará en el estudio del problema de Dirichlet con Laplaciano fraccionario y su relación con redes neuronales profundas. En particular, a partir de una representación estocástica
de la solución del problema de Dirichlet fraccionario, demostraremos que existe una red neuronal profunda que aproxima la solución del problema a una precisión arbitraria y más aún, la cantidad de parámetros necesaria para de nir la red es a lo más polinomial en la dimensión, el recíproco de la precisión y el tamaño del conjunto. Además se realizarán simulaciones numéricas en Python para encontrar redes neuronales que aproximan las soluciones del problema de Dirichlet fraccionario para distintas configuraciones del problema.

A Keller-Lieb-Thirring Inequality for Dirac operators
Sala 1
Abstract:
The classical Keller-Lieb-Thirring inequality bounds the ground state energy of a Schrödinger operator by a Lebesgue norm of the potential. This problem can be rewritten as a minimization problem for the Rayleigh quotient over both the eigenfunction and the potential. It is then straightforward to see that the best potential is a power of the eigenfunction, and the optimal eigenfunction satisfies a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. This talk concerns the analogous question for the smallest eigenvalue in the gap of a massive Dirac operator. This eigenvalue is not characterized by a minimization problem. By using a suitable Birman-Schwinger operator, we show that for sufficiently small potentials in Lebesgue spaces, an optimal potential and eigenfunction exists. Moreover, the corresponding eigenfunction solves a nonlinear Dirac equation.

Convexity and Partial Differential Equations
Sala 1
Abstract:
In this talk we will introduce different notions of convexity that interpolate between classical convexity and quasiconvexity and that, moreover, have a natural fractional extension. For these notions of convexity we also characterize the convex envelope inside a domain of a boundary datum in terms of being the unique viscosity solution to an associated differential equation.

Dipolos armónicos en elasticidad
Sala 1
Abstract:
Whenever the stored energy density of a hyperelastic material has slow growth at infinity (below |F|^p with p less than the space dimension), it may undergo cavitation (the nucleation and sudden growth of internal voids) under large hydrostatic tension [Ball, 1982; James & Spector, 1992]. This constitutes a failure of quasiconvexity and, hence, a challenge for the existence theory in elastostatics [Ball & Murat, 1984]. The obstacle has been overcome under certain coercivity hypotheses [Müller & Spector, 1995; Sivaloganathan & Spector, 2000] which, however, fail to be satisfied by the paradigmatic example in elasticity: that of 3D neo-Hookean materials. A joint work with Marco Barchiesi, Carlos Mora-Corral, and Rémy Rodiac will be presented, where this borderline case was solved for hollow axisymmetric domains. Partial results leading to a solution when the axis of rotation is contained (where the dipoles found by [Conti & De Lellis, 2003] must be proved to be non energy-minimizing) will also be discussed.

Connecting unstable minimal surfaces via phase transitions
Sala 1
Abstract:
The Allen–Cahn equation is a semilinear evolution partial differential equation that models phase transition phenomena and which provides a regularization for the mean curvature flow (MCF), one of the most studied geometric flows. In this talk, inspired by Morse-theoretical considerations, we will study eternal solutions to the Allen–Cahn equation connecting unstable equilibria. We will also discuss how to use these flows to construct a family of (weak) eternal solutions to the MCF connecting minimal surfaces of low area in the 3-sphere. This is joint work with Jingwen Chen.

Convergence rate of general entropy-regularized optimal transport costs
Sala 2, edificio Rolando Chuaqui
Abstract:
The entropic regularization of optimal transport is widely popular to recover approximate solutions of optimal transport problems, due to the existence of simple numerical schemes based on Sinkhorn's algorithm. In this talk, I will focus on the the asymptotics of the optimal transport cost as the noise parameter $\varepsilon$ vanishes. The asymptotics is known up to order 2 for cost functions that are sufficiently regular and twisted, such as the quadratic cost. I will present upper and lower bounds for classes of cost functions that are less regular (Lipschitz, with Lipschitz gradients, or non-degenerate), which will depend on the dimension of the marginals but not on the optimal transport plans themselves. Such estimates are in particular relevant to debias regularized optimal transport using Sinkhorn divergences. This is a joint work with G.Carlier and L.Tamanini.
