The classical Ca uchy-Lipschitz (also named Picard-Lindel\\"of) Theorem states that\, if th e vector field $v$ is Lipschitz in space\, for every initial datum $x$ the re is a unique trajectory $\\gamma$ starting at $x$ at time $0$ and solvin g the ODE $\\dot{\\gamma} (t) = v (t\, \\gamma (t))$. The theorem looses i ts validity as soon as $v$ is slightly less regular. However\, if we bundl e all trajectories into a global map allowing $x$ to vary\, a celebrated t heory put forward by DiPerna and Lions in the 80es show that there is a un ique such flow under very reasonable conditions and for much less regular vector fields. A long-standing open question is whether this theory is the byproduct of a stronger classical result which ensures the uniqueness of trajectories for {\\em almost every} initial datum. I will give a complete answer to the latter question and draw connections with partial different ial equations\, harmonic analysis\, probability theory and Gromov's $h$-pr inciple.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/IASanalysis/1/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Felix Otto (Max Planck Institute Leipzig) DTSTART:20200420T150000Z DTEND:20200420T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260422T212553Z UID:IASanalysis/2 DESCRIPTION:Title: A variational approach to the regularity theory for the Monge-Ampère equation\nby Felix Otto (Max Planck Institute Leipzig) as part of IAS Analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe present a purely variational approach t o the regularity theory for the\nMonge-Ampère equation\, or rather optim al transportation\, introduced with M. Goldman. Following De Giorgi’s ph ilosophy for the regularity theory of minimal surfaces\, it is based on th e approximation of the displacement by a harmonic gradient\, which leads t o a One-Step Improvement Lemma\, and feeds into a Campanato iteration on t he $C^{1\,\\alpha}$-level for the displacement\, capitalizing on affine in variance.\nOn the one hand\, this allows to reprove the $C^{1\,\\alpha}$- regularity result (Figalli-Kim\, De Philippis-Figalli) bypassing Caffarell i’s celebrated theory. This also extends to boundary regularity (Chen-Fi galli)\, which is joint work with T. Miura.\nOn the other hand\, due to it s robustness\, it can be used as a large-scale regularity theory for the p roblem of matching the Lebesgue measure to the Poisson measure in the ther modynamic limit. This is joint work with M. Goldman and M. Huesmann.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/IASanalysis/2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Steven Zelditch (Northwestern University) DTSTART:20200428T150000Z DTEND:20200428T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260422T212553Z UID:IASanalysis/3 DESCRIPTION:Title: Ellipses of small eccentricity are determined by their Dirichlet (or\, Neumann) spectra\nby Steven Zelditch (Northwestern University) as par t of IAS Analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 1965\, M. Kac proved that disc s were uniquely determined by their Dirichlet (or\, Neumann) spectra. Unt il recently\, disks were the only smooth plane domains known to be determi ned by their eigenvalues. Recently\, H. Hezari and I proved that ellipses of small eccentricity are also determined uniquely by their Dirichlet (or\ , Neumann) spectra. The proof uses recent results of Avila\, de Simoi\, an d Kaloshin\, proving that nearly circular plane domains with rationally i ntegrable billiards must be ellipses. It also uses a ``bounce decompositi on'' for the wave trace\, representing the wave trace as a sum of q-bounce oscillatory integrals. It is shown that for nearly circular domains\, eac h is a spectral invariant and that the ellipse is uniquely determined by i ts q-bounce invariants.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/IASanalysis/3/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Zhiyuan Zhang (Université Paris 13) DTSTART:20200504T150000Z DTEND:20200504T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260422T212553Z UID:IASanalysis/4 DESCRIPTION:Title: Exponential mixing of 3D Anosov flows\nby Zhiyuan Zhang (Universit é Paris 13) as part of IAS Analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe show that a topologically mixing $C^{\\infty}$ Anosov flow on a 3 dimensional compact manifold is exponential mixing with respect to any equilibrium measure wi th Hölder potential.

David (Ball State University) as part of IAS Analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nGi ven a Lipschitz map\, it is often useful to chop the domain into pieces on which the map has simple behavior. For example\, depending on the dimensi ons of source and target\, one may ask for pieces on which the map behaves like a bi-Lipschitz embedding or like a linear projection. For many issue s\, it is even more useful if this decomposition is quantitative\, i.e.\, with bounds independent of the particular map or spaces involved. After su rveying the question of bi-Lipschitz decomposition\, we will discuss the m ore complicated case in which dimension decreases\, e.g.\, for maps from $ \\mathbb{R}^3$ to $\\mathbb{R}^2$. This is recent joint work with Raanan S chul\, improving a previous result of Azzam-Schul.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/IASanalysis/5/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Hong Wang (Institute for Advanced Study) DTSTART:20200518T150000Z DTEND:20200518T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260422T212553Z UID:IASanalysis/6 DESCRIPTION:Title: Square function estimate for the cone in R^3\nby Hong Wang (Instit ute for Advanced Study) as part of IAS Analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe prove a sharp square function estimate for the cone in R^3 and consequentl y the local smoothing conjecture for the wave equation in 2+1 dimensions.

Like solutions to many energy critical PDE\, wave maps can develop singularities where the energy concentrates on arbitrary small scales but the norm stays bounded. Zoomin g in on these singularities yields a harmonic map (called a soliton or bub ble) in the weak limit. One fundamental question is whether this weak limi t is unique\, that is to say\, whether different bubbles may appear as the limit of different sequences of rescalings.\n\nWe show by example that un iqueness may not hold if the target manifold is not analytic. Our constru ction is heavily inspired by Peter Topping's analogous example of a ``wind ing" bubble in harmonic map heat flow. However\, the Hamiltonian nature of the wave maps will occasionally necessitate different arguments. This is joint work with Dana Mendelson (U Chicago).\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/IASanalysis/7/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Alik Mazel (AMC Health) DTSTART:20200525T150000Z DTEND:20200525T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260422T212553Z UID:IASanalysis/8 DESCRIPTION:Title: An application of integers of the 12th cyclotomic field in the theory of phase transitions\nby Alik Mazel (AMC Health) as part of IAS Analys is Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe construction of pure phases from ground stat es is performed for $ u > u_*(d)$ for all values of $d$ except for 39 spec ial ones. For values $d$ with a single equivalence class all periodic grou nd states generate the corresponding pure phase which provides a complete description of extreme Gibbs measures (complete phase diagram). For a gene ral $d$ we prove that at least one class of ground states generates pure p hases and propose an algorithm that decides\, after finitely many iteratio ns\, which classes of ground states generate pure phases. We conjecture th at in case of several classes only one of them generates pure phases which is confirmed by (numerical) application of our algorithm to several (rela tively small) values of $d$.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/IASanalysis/8/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
