Applied Mathematics Seminar

Decoupling DeGiorgi systems via multi-marginal mass transport

Monday, 3/24/2014, 8:00pm - 11:59pm

Abstract: We exhibit a surprising relationship between elliptic gradient systems of PDEs, multi-marginal Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problem, and multivariable Hardy-Littlewood inequalities. We show that the notion of an "orientable" elliptic system, conjectured to imply that --at least in low dimensions-- solutions with certain monotonicity properties are essentially $1$-dimensional, is equivalent to the definition of a "compatible" cost function, known to imply uniqueness and structural results for optimal measures to certain Monge-Kantorovich problems.

Topology Seminar

Traces, cross ratios and two generator subgroups of SU(3,1)

Wednesday, 3/19/2014, 9:30pm - 11:59pm

Speaker: Krishnendu Gondgopadhyay ( IISER Mohali. India)
 

Abstract
In this talk, I shall discuss how traces and cross ratios of isometries of the complex hyperbolic 3-space
may be used to obtain a classification of "generic" representations of the free group F_2=<x, y> into the isometry group SU(3,1).
