Preservation of concavity properties by the Dirichlet heat flow and applications (英語)
[ 講演概要 ]
This talk is based on joint works with K. Ishige, Q. Liu and A. Takatsu.

It is well known that heat flow preserves the log-concavity of the initial datum, in the following sense: if $\phi\geq0$ is log-concave (i.e., $\log\phi$ is concave), and u is the (bounded) solution of $u_t=\Delta u$ in $R^n\times(0,+\infty)$ with $u(x,0)=\phi$, then $u(\cdot,t)$ is log-concave for every $t\geq 0$.

Together with Ishige and Takatsu, we investigated on the optimality of this property and considered the more general concept of F-.concavity, discovering that, in a suitable sense, log-concavity is the weakest concavity property preserved by the heat flow, while the strongest is what we call "hot concavity".

For our investigation we use only pdes techniques, while the original proof of the preservation of log-concavity by the heat flow, due to Brascamp and Lieb, is easily obtained as an application of a functional-geometric inequality known as Prekòpa-Leindler inequality. It is interesting to notice that is is also possible to do the way back, retrieving PL inequality (and the whole family opf Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities) thanks to the concavity preservation properties of parabolic equations, so establishing a perfect equivalence between these two apparently separated worlds. This investigation was done in collaboration with Ishige and Liu.

The Gaussian correlation inequality for centered convex sets (英語)
[ 講演概要 ]
This talk is based on a joint work with Shohei Nakamura. The Gaussian correlation inequality, a result known in probability theory and convex geometry, gives a comparison between the Gaussian measure of the intersection of two symmetric convex sets and the product of the Gaussian measures of each set. This inequality was proven by Pitt in the case $n=2$ and later extended to all dimensions by Royen. Recently E. Milman gave another simple proof by the observation that the Gaussian correlation inequality may be regarded as an example of the inverse Brascamp—Lieb inequality.

In this talk, building on Milman's observation, we prove that the Gaussian correlation inequality holds true for centered convex sets. Furthermore we give an extension of the Gaussian correlation inequality formulated by Szarek—Werner.

Gradient flow of phase transitions with fixed contact angle (英語)
[ 講演概要 ]
The Allen-Cahn equation is closely related to the area functional on hypersurfaces and provides a means to investigate both its critical points (minimal hypersurfaces) and gradient flow (mean curvature flow). I will discuss various properties of the gradient flow of the Allen-Cahn equation with a fixed boundary contact angle condition, which is used to gain insight into an appropriate formulation for mean curvature flow with fixed boundary contact angle. This is based on joint work with M. Takada, Y. Tonegawa, and M. Workman.

On the topology of stable minimal hypersurfaces in a homeomorphic $S^4$ (英語)
[ 講演概要 ]
Given an $n$-dimensional manifold (with $n$ at least $4$), it is generally impossible to control the topology of a homologically minimizing hypersurface $M$. In this talk, we construct stable (or locally minimizing) hypersurfaces with optimal restrictions on its topology in a $4$-manifold $X$ with natural curvature conditions (e.g. positive scalar curvature), provided that $X$ admits certain embeddings into a homeomorphic $S^4$. As an application, we obtain black hole topology theorems in such $4$-dimensional asymptotically flat manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. This is based on joint work with Boyu Zhang.
