A half-space Bernstein theorem for anisotropic minimal graphs (English)

A half-space Bernstein theorem for anisotropic minimal graphs (English)
[ Abstract ]
Anisotropic functionals are the natural generalization of the area functional. From a technical perspective, what distinguishes general anisotropic functionals from the area case is the absence of a monotonicity formula. In this talk, we will present a proof of a half-space Bernstein theorem for anisotropic minimal graphs with flat boundary condition. The proof uses only the maximal principle and ideas from fully nonlinear PDE theory in lieu of a monotonicity formula. This is joint work with W. Du, C. Moony, and J. Zhu.

Generalized Front Propagation for Stochastic Spatial Models (English)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will present a general framework which can be used to analyze the scaling limits of various stochastic spatial "population" models. Such models include ternary Branching Brownian motion subject to majority voting and several interacting particle systems motivated by biology. The approach is based on moment duality and a PDE methodology introduced by Barles and Souganidis, which can be used to study the asymptotic behaviour of rescaled reaction-diffusion equations. In the limit, the models exhibit phase separation with an evolving interface which is governed by a global-in-time, generalized notion of mean-curvature flow. This talk is based on joint work with Thomas Hughes (University of Bath).
