16:30-17:30   Room #002 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Charles Fefferman (Princeton University)
Extension of Functions and Interpolation of Data
[ Abstract ]
Let $f$ be a given real-valued function defined on a subset of $\\mathbb{R}^n$. We explain how to decide whether $f$ extends to a function $F$ in $C^m(\\mathbb{R}^n)$. If such an $F$ exists, we show how to construct one.

相転移を伴う非圧縮性2相流の線形化問題について
[ Abstract ]
氷が常圧で0度以上になると水になるなどの相転移を伴う非圧縮性2相流に対し,質量保存則, 運動量保存則, エネルギー保存則を界面を含む系全体に適用し, 線形化した方程式系について考察する. 本講演では, 線形化方程式系のL_p-L_q 最大正則性定理について述べる.

密度が異なる場合は, 法線方向の高さ関数は表面張力つき2相Stokes問題の高さ関数と同じ正則性をもち, 系は流速が支配するのに対し,密度が等しい場合は, Gibbs-Thomson補正された表面張力つき2相Stefan問題の高さ関数と同じ正則性をもち, 系は温度が支配する.

GCOE lecture series

16:30-17:30   Room #999 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Charles Fefferman (Princeton University)
Extension of Functions and Interpolation of Data
[ Abstract ]
This series of three lectures will discuss the following questions. No special background will be assumed, and the third lecture will not assume familiarity with the first two.

Fix positive integers $m, n$. Let $f$ be a real-valued function on a subset $E$ of $\\mathbf{R}^n$. How can we tell whether $f$ extends to a $C^m$ function $F$ on the whole $\\mathbf{R}^n$?
If $F$ exists, how small can we take its $C^m$ norm? Can we take $F$ to depend linearly on $f$? What can we say about the derivatives of $F$ at a given point of $E$?

Suppose $E$ is finite. Can we then compute an $F$ with $C^m$ norm close to least-possible? How many operations does it take? What if we ask merely that $F$ and $f$ agree approximately on $E$? What if we are allowed to delete a few points of $E$?

What can be said about the above problems for function spaces other than $C^m(\\mathbf{R}^n)$?

On the (co)chain type levels of spaces
[ Abstract ]
Avramov, Buchweitz, Iyengar and Miller have introduced
the notion of the level for an object of a triangulated category.
The invariant measures the number of steps to build the given object
out of some fixed object with triangles.
Using this notion in the derived category of modules over a (co)chain
algebra,
we define a new topological invariant, which is called
the (co)chain type level of a space.
In this talk, after explaining fundamental properties of the invariant,
I describe the chain type level of the Borel construction
of a homogeneous space as a computational example.

I will also relate the chain type level of a space to algebraic
approximations of the L.-S. category due to Kahl and to
the original L.-S. category of a map.

Fractional Evolution Equations and Applications 5
[ Abstract ]
In recent years increasing interests and considerable
researches have been given to the fractional differential equations both
in time and space variables.
These are due to the applications of the fractional calculus
to problems in a wide areas of physics and engineering science and a rapid
development of the corresponding theory. A motivating example includes
the so-called continuous time random walk process
and the Levy process model for the mathematical finance.
In this lecture we develop solution techniques based on the linear and
nonlinear semigroup theory and apply it to solve the associated inverse
and optimal control problems. The property and stability of the solutions
as well as numerical integration methods
are discussed. The lecture also covers the basis and application of the
so-called Crandall-Ligget theory and the locally quasi-dissipative
operator method developed by Kobayashi-Kobayashi-Oharu.

On weak Fano varieties with log canonical singularities
[ Abstract ]
We prove that the anti-canonical divisors of weak Fano
3-folds with log canonical singularities are semiample. Moreover, we consider
semiampleness of the anti-log canonical divisor of any weak log Fano pair
with log canonical singularities. We show semiampleness dose not hold in
general by constructing several examples. Based on those examples, we propose
sufficient conditions which seem to be the best possible and we prove
semiampleness under such conditions. In particular we derive semiampleness of the
anti-canonical divisors of log canonical weak Fano 4-folds whose lc centers
are at most 1-dimensional. We also investigate the Kleiman-Mori cones of
weak log Fano pairs with log canonical singularities.

A finite volume method on general meshes for a degenerate parabolic convection-reaction-diffusion equation
[ Abstract ]
We propose a finite volume method on general meshes for degenerate parabolic convection-reaction-diffusion equations. Such equations arise for instance in the modeling of contaminant transport in groundwater. After giving a convergence proof, we present the results of numerical tests.

Asymptotically conical manifolds and the Monge-Ampere equation
[ Abstract ]
Some analysis is considered on manifolds with a conical end. Then we show that in the Kahler case the complex Monge-Ampere equation can be solved with the same regularity as is known in the ALE case. By considering resolutions of toric singularities and hypersurface singularities this can easily be used to produce many Calabi-Yau manifolds with a conical end.

Localization via group action and its application to
the period condition of algebraic minimal surfaces
[ Abstract ]
The optimal estimate for the number of exceptional
values of the Gauss map of algebraic minimal surfaces is a long
standing problem. In this lecture, I will introduce new ideas
toward the solution of this problem. The ``collective Cohn-Vossen
inequality" is the key idea. From this we have effective
Nevanlinna's lemma on logarithmic derivative for a certain class
of meromorphic functions on the disk. On the other hand, we can
construct a family holomorphic functions on the disk from the
Weierstrass data of the algebraic minimal surface under
consideration, which encodes the period condition.
Applying effective Lemma on logarithmic derivative to these
functions, we can extract an intriguing inequality.
