10:30-12:00   Room #128 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Ryoichi Kobayashi (Nagoya University)
Hamiltonian Volume Minimizing Property of Maximal Torus Orbits in the Complex Projective Space (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We prove that any $U(1)^n$-orbit in $\\Bbb P^n$ is volume minimizing under Hamiltonian deformation.

The idea of the proof is :

- (1) We extend one $U(1)^n$-orbit to the momentum torus fibration $\\{T_t\\}_{t\\in\\Delta^n}$ and consider its Hamiltonian deformation $\\{\\phi(T_t)\\}_{t\\in\\Delta^n}$ where $\\phi$ is a Hamiltobian diffeomorphism of $\\Bbb P^n$,

and then :

- (2) We compare each $U(1)^n$-orbit and its Hamiltonian deformation by compaing the large $k$ asymptotic behavior of the sequence of projective embeddings defined, for each $k$, by the basis of $H^0(\\Bbb P^n,\\Cal O(k))$ obtained by semi-classical approximation of the $\\Cal O(k)$ Bohr-Sommerfeld tori of the Lagrangian torus fibration $\\{T_t\\}_{t\\in\\Delta^n}$ and its Hamiltonian deformation $\\{\\phi(T_t)\\}_{t\\in\\Delta^n}$.

Antonio Degasperis (La Sapienza, University of Rome)
Integrable nonlinear wave equations, nonlocal interaction and spectral methods (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A general class of integrable nonlinear multi-component wave equations are discussed to show that integrability, as implied by Lax pair, does not necessarily imply solvability of the initial value problem by spectral methods. A simple instance of this class, with applicative relevance to nonlinear optics, is discussed as a prototype model. Conservation laws and special solutions of this model are displayed to underline the integrability issue.

Laplace and Fourier based valuation methods in exponential Levy models (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
A fundamental problem in mathematical finance is the explicit computation of expectations which arise as prices of derivatives. Closed formulas that can easily be evaluated are typically only available in models driven by a Brownian motion. If one considers more sophisticated jump-type Levy processes as drivers, the problem quickly becomes rather nontrivial and complicated. Starting with the paper of Carr and Madan (1999) and the PhD thesis of Raible (2000), Laplace and Fourier based methods have been used to derive option pricing formulas that can be evaluated very efficiently numerically. In this talk we review the initial idea of Raible (2000), show how it can be generalized and discuss under which precise mathematical assumptions the Laplace and Fourier approach work. We then give several examples of specific options and Levy models to which the general framework can be applied to. In the last part, we present some formulas for pricing options on the supremum and infimum of the asset price process that use the Wiener-Hopf factorization.

Bernadette Miara (Universite Paris-Est)
The obstacle problem for a shallow membrane-Justification and stability (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This lecture is twofold.
In the first part we recall the difference between the three-dimensional unilateral contact problem (the so-called Signorini problem) and its two-dimensional limit (the obstacle problem) in the case of an elastic shell as it was considered in [1] and [2].
In the second part we consider a simplified set of equations which describe the equilibrium equations of a shallow membrane (as justified in [3]) in contact with a plane obstacle and we study the stability of the contact zone with respect to small changes of the applied force, which amounts to studying the variation of the boundary of this contact zone. This kind of stability was first established in the scalar case for the Laplacian operator [4] then for the biharmonic operator [5]. The interest of the vectorial case considered here is due to the coupling effects between the in-plane and the transverse components of the displacement field in the framework of linearized Marguerre-von K´arm´an shell model.
This is a joint work with Alain L´eger, CNRS, Laboratoire de M´ecanique et d’Acoustique, 13402, Marseille, France.

Guorong, Hu

On Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on Stratified Lie groups
(ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We introduce the notion of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces
$\\dot{F}^{s}_{p,q}(G)$ on a stratified Lie group $G$
in terms of a Littlewood-Paley-type decomposition
with respect to a sub-Laplacian $\\mathscr{L}$ of $G$,
for $s \\in \\mathbb{R}$, $0

We show that the scale of these spaces is actually independent of
the precise choice of the sub-Laplacian
and the Littlewood-Paley-type decomposition.
As we shall see, many properties of the classical
Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on $\\mathbb{R}^{n}$, e.g.,
lifting property, embeddings and dual property,
can be extended to the setting of stratified Lie groups
without too much effort.
We then study the boundedness of convolution operators
on these spaces and finally,
we obtain a Hormander type spectral multipliers theorem.

Profiles of solutions to an integral system related to
the weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality
(JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We study the Euler-Lagrange system for a variational problem
associated with the weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality of
Stein and Weiss.
We show that all the nonnegative solutions to the system are radially
symmetric and have particular profiles around the origin and the
infinity.
This work extends previous results obtained by other authors to the
general case.

Leevan Ling (Hong Kong Baptist University)
Global radial basis functions method and some adaptive techniques (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
It is now commonly agreed that the global radial basis functions method is an attractive approach for approximating smooth functions. This superiority does not come free; one must find ways to circumvent the associated problem of ill-conditioning and the high computational cost for solving dense matrix systems.
In this talk, we will overview different variants of adaptive methods for selecting proper trial subspaces so that the instability caused by inappropriately shaped parameters were minimized.

Christian Clason (Graz University)
Parameter identification problems with non-Gaussian noise (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
For inverse problems subject to non-Gaussian (such as impulsive or uniform) noise, other data fitting terms than the standard L^2 norm are statistically appropriate and more robust. However, these formulations typically lead to non-differentiable problems which are challenging to solve numerically. This talk presents an approach that combines an iterative smoothing procedure with a semismooth Newton method, which can be applied to parameter identification problems for partial differential equations. The efficiency of this approach is illustrated for the inverse potential problem.

Chun Liu (Pennsylvania State University)
Ionic Fluids and Their Transport: From Kinetic Descriptions to Continuum Models (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The problems of distribution and transport of charged particles and ionic fluids are ubiquitous in our daily life and crucial in physical and biological applications. The multiscale and multiphysics nature of these problems provides major challenges and motivations.
In this talk, I will present the derivation of the continuum models such as Poisson-Nerest-Planck (PNP) system from the kinetic formulations.
Our focus is on the multiple species solutions and the corresponding boundary conditions for bounded containers.

Shape and topology optimization in application (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Shape and topology optimization currently is of high interest for applications but also from a theoretical point of view. Recently, new developments in the shape calculus and in a related calculus for topology have enabled successful solutions of challenging optimization problems. This talk specifically reports on parameter free shape optimization in aerodynamics, thermoelastics and acoustics. Furthermore, novel results for the elastic topology optimization of the interior of wings are presented. We will try to give insight into the challenges in this field as well as the numerical solution approaches.

Simon Goodwin (Birmingham University)
Representation theory of finite W-algebras (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
There has been a great deal of recent research interest in finite W-algebras motivated by important connection with primitive ideals of universal enveloping algebras and applications in mathematical physics.
There have been significant breakthroughs in the rerpesentation theory of finite W-algebras due to the research of a variety of mathematicians.
In this talk, we will give an overview of the representation theory of finite W-algebras focussing on W-algebras associated to classical Lie algebras (joint with J. Brown) and W-algebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras (joint with J. Brown and J. Brundan).

Jarek Kedra (University of Aberdeen)
On the autonomous metric of the area preserving diffeomorphism
of the two dimensional disc. (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Let D be the open unit disc in the Euclidean plane and let
G:=Diff(D, area) be the group of smooth compactly supported
area-preserving diffeomorphisms of D. A diffeomorphism is called
autonomous if it is the time one map of the flow of a time independent
vector field. Every diffeomorphism in G is a composition of a number
of autonomous diffeomorphisms. The least amount of such
diffeomorphisms defines a norm on G. In the talk I will investigate
geometric properties of such a norm.

In particular I will construct a bi-Lipschitz embedding of the free
abelian group of arbitrary rank to G. I will also show that the space
of homogeneous quasi-morphisms vanishing on all autonomous
diffeomorphisms in G is infinite dimensional.

This is a joint work with Michael Brandenbursky.

Lie foliations transversely modeled on nilpotent Lie
algebras
(JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
To each Lie $\\mathfrak{g}$-foliation, there is an associated subalgebra
$\\mathfrak{h}$ of $\\mathfrak{g}$ with the foliation, which is called the
structure Lie algabra. In this talk, we will explain the inverse problem,
that is, which pair $(\\mathfrak{g},\\mathfrak{h})$ can be realized as a
Lie $\\mathfrak{g}$-foliation with the structure Lie algabra $\\mathfrak{h}
$, under the assumption that $\\mathfrak{g}$ is nilpotent.
