In this talk, we discuss recent work with Albers, Cieliebak, Fish, Frauenfelder, Hofer and Paternain on several aspects of the three body problem. The ultimate goal of this project is to use modern, holomorphic curve techniques to investigat...

We describe some of the history of the three-body problem and how it lead to symplectic geometry. We start by sketching Poincare’s prize-winning work, and discuss how it lead to the birth of the fields of dynamical systems and symplec...

In this talk, I will talk about the definition Q-curvature and some of its properties. Then I will talk about the problem of prescribing Q-curvature, especially I will explain the ideas of studying the problem using flow approach.

Symmetry Breaking in Quasi-1D Coulomb Systems

We survey work on a class of nonlinear elliptic PDEs that was initiated by Moser. Methods from PDE, dynamical systems, and geometry set in the framework of the calculus of variations are used to construct a rich collection of solutions.

In this talk, we shall first present several examples of numerical simulations of complex industrial systems. All these simulations rely upon some mathematical models involving Partial Differential Equations and we shall briefly explain the ...

A general goal of noncommutative geometry (in the sense of A. Connes) is to translate the main tools of differential geometry into the Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics by taking advantage of the familiar duality between spaces an...

Motivated by the analysis of the singularity of the Bergman kernel of a strictly pseudoconvex domain, Charlie Fefferman launched in the late 70s the program of determining all local biholomorphic invariants of strictly pseudoconvex domain. T...

In this talk I will first give a survey of recent recent results SDEs with singular coefficients. Then I will report some recent results, jointly with Longjie Xie, on critical and supercritical SDEs with singular coefficients.

In this talk, we will present an approach to construct the Green’s function for an initial boundary value problem with precise pointwise structure in the space-time domain. This approach is given in terms of transform variable and physical v...

In this talk I will present some results in the area of topological, low-dimensional, discrete dynamical systems.

I will give a very personal overview of the evolution of mainstream applied mathematics from the early 60's onwards. This era started pre computer with mostly analytic techniques, followed by linear stability analysis for finite difference a...

It has been more than thirty years since white noise analysis was launched systematically. It is now a good time to have an overview of the theory and to reflect on its advantages in order to anticipate further developments of this theory. O...

In this talk, we shall discuss the semi-infinite variation of Hodge structure associated to real valued solutions of a Toda equation. First, we describe a classification of the real valued solutions of the Toda equation in terms of their par...

Empirical observations have shown that for an adequate description of many random phenomena non-Gaussian processes are needed. The paths of these Markov processes necessarily have jumps. Their generators are nonlocal operators which admit a ...

In many applications such as X-ray Crystallography, imaging, communication and others, one must construct a function/signal from only the magnitude of the measurements. These measurements can be, for example, the Fourier transform of the den...

There are some phenomena called "regularization by noise" in nonlinear evolution equations. This means that if you add a noise to the system, the system would have a better property than without noise. As one of examples, I will explain this...
