Henrik SHAHGHOLIAN (王立工科大学・ストックホルム)
A two phase free boundary problem with applications in potential theory
[ Abstract ]
In this talk I will present some recent directions, still to be developed, in potential theory, that are connected to a two-phase free boundary problems. The potential theoretic topic that I will discuss is the so called Quadrature Domains.
The most simple free boundary/potential problem that we can present is the following. Given constants $a_\\pm, \\lambda_\\pm >0$ and two points $x^\\pm$ in ${\\bf R}^n$. Find a function $u$ such that
$$\\Delta u = \\left( \\lambda_+ \\chi_{\\{u>0 \\}} - a_+\\delta_{x^+}\\right) - \\left( \\lambda_- \\chi_{\\{u<0 \\}} - a_-\\delta_{x^-}\\right),$$
where $\\delta$ is the Dirac mass.
In general this problem is solvable for two Dirac masses. The requirement, somehow implicit in the above equation, is that the support of the measures (in this case the Dirac masses) is to be in included in the positivity and the negativity set (respectively).
In general this problem does not have a solution, and there some strong restrictions on the measures, in order to have some partial results.
