Title: On the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with absorbing barrier
Abstract: We discuss the well-posedness theory of classical solutions to the kinetic
Fokker-Planck equation in bounded domains with absorbing boundary conditions. We show
that the solutions are smooth up the boundary away from the singular set and they are
Holder continuous up to the singular set. This is joint work with H.J. Hwang, J. Jung,
and J.L. Velazquez.

Speaker: James Colliander, University of Toronto
Title: Big frequency cascades in the nonlinear Schrodinger evolution
Abstract: I will outline a construction of an exotic solution of the nonlinear
Schrodinger equation that exhibits a big frequency cascade. Recent advances
related to this construction and some open questions will be surveyed.
