Title: Recent progress on singular, quasi-linear stochastic PDE

Abstract: This talk with focus on quasi-linear parabolic equations with an irregular forcing . These equations are ill-posed in the traditional sense of distribution theory. They require flexibility in the notion of solution as well as new a priori bounds. Drawing on the philosophy of rough paths and regularity structures, we develop the analytic part of a small data solution theory. This is joint work with Felix Otto, Hendrik Weber, and Jonas Sauer.


Son Tu

Title: State-Constraint static Hamilton-Jacobi equations in nested domains

Abstract: We study state-constraint static Hamilton-Jacobi equations in a sequence of domains $\{\Omega_k\}$ in $\mathbb R^n$ such that $\Omega_k \subset \Omega_{k+1}$ for all $k \in \mathbb N$. We obtain rates of convergence of $u_k$, the solution to the state-constraint problem in $\Omega_k$, to $u$, the solution to the corresponding problem in $\Omega=\bigcup_k \Omega_k$. In many cases, the rates obtained are proven to be optimal (it's a joint work with Yeoneung Kim and Hung V. Tran).


Jin Woo Jang

Title: On a Cauchy problem for the Landau-Boltzmann equation

Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a recent development in the global well-posedness of the Landau equation (1936) in a general smooth bounded domain, which has been a long-outstanding open problem. This work proves the global stability of the Landau equation in an $L^\infty_{x,v}$ framework with the Coulombic potential in a general smooth bounded domain with the specular reflection boundary condition for initial perturbations of the Maxwellian equilibrium states. Our methods consist of the generalization of the well-posedness theory for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation (HJV-2014, HJJ-2018) and the extension of the boundary value problem to a whole space problem, as well as the use of a recent extension of De Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equations (GIMV-2016) and the Morrey estimates (BCM-1996) to further control the velocity derivatives, which ensures the uniqueness. This is a joint work with Y. Guo, H. J. Hwang, and Z. Ouyang.


Stefania Patrizi

Title: Dislocations dynamics: from microscopic models to macroscopic crystal plasticity

Abstract: Dislocation theory aims at explaining the plastic behavior of materials by the motion of line defects in crystals. Peierls-Nabarro models consist in approximating the geometric motion of these defects by nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations. We study the asymptotic limit of solutions of Peierls-Nabarro equations. Different scalings lead to different models at microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scale. This is joint work with E. Valdinoci.


Claude Bardos

Title: From the d'Alembert paradox to the 1984 Kato criteria via the 1941 $1/3$ Kolmogorov law and the 1949 Onsager conjecture

Abstract: Several of my recent contributions, with Marie Farge, Edriss Titi, Emile Wiedemann, Piotr and Agneska Gwiadza, were motivated by the following issues: The role of boundary effect in mathematical theory of fluids mechanic and the similarity, in presence of these effects, of the weak convergence in the zero viscosity limit and the statistical theory of turbulence. As a consequence, I will recall the Onsager conjecture and compare it to the issue of anomalous energy dissipation.

Then I will give a proof of the local conservation of energy under convenient hypothesis in a domain with boundary and give supplementary condition that imply the global conservation of energy in a domain with boundary and the absence of anomalous energy dissipation in the zero viscosity limit of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in the presence of no slip boundary condition.

Eventually the above results are compared with several forms of a basic theorem of Kato in the presence of a Lipschitz solution of the Euler equations and one may insist on the fact that in such case the the absence of anomalous energy dissipation is {\bf equivalent} to the persistence of regularity in the zero viscosity limit. Eventually this remark contributes to the resolution of the d'Alembert Paradox.

Albert Ai

Title: Two dimensional gravity waves at low regularity: Energy estimates

Abstract: In this talk, we will consider the gravity water wave equations in two space dimensions. Our focus is on sharp cubic energy estimates and low regularity solutions. Precisely, we will introduce techniques to prove a new class of energy estimates, which we call balanced cubic estimates. This yields a key improvement over the earlier cubic estimates of Hunter-Ifrim-Tataru, while preserving their scale invariant character and their position-velocity potential holomorphic coordinate formulation. Even without using Strichartz estimates, these results allow us to significantly lower the Sobolev regularity threshold for local well-posedness. This is joint work with Mihaela Ifrim and Daniel Tataru.
