Analysis seminar resumes

The Analysis seminar resumes in November.

Serena Dipierro and Enrico Valdinoci are visiting us from the University of Western Australia.

There will be talks on both Thursday, 3 November, and Friday, 4 November. Please check the page Analysis Seminar for the times TBA.

Serena will talk about The strange behaviour of nonlocal minimal surfaces:

Abstract: Surfaces which minimize a nonlocal perimeter functional exhibit quite different behaviors than the ones minimizing the classical perimeter. Among these peculiar features, an interesting property, which is also in contrast with the pattern produced by the solutions of linear equations, is given by the capacity, and the strong tendency, of adhering at the boundary.

Enrico will talk about Long-range phase coexistence models

Abstract: We will discuss classical and recent results concerning the Allen-Cahn equation and its long-range counterpart, especially in relation to its limit interfaces, which are (possibly nonlocal) minimal surfaces, and to the corresponding rigidity and symmetry properties of flat solutions.
