DESCRIPTION:Title: Multiphase models of living tissues and the Hele-Shaw limit\nby Be
noit Perthame (Sorbonne University\, France) as part of Seminar In the Ana
lysis and Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe mechanical modeling
of living tissues has attracted much attention in the last decade. Appli
cations include tissue repair and growth models of solid tumors. These mo
dels contain several levels of complexity\, both in terms of the biologica
l and mechanical effects\, and therefore in their mathematical description
. Multiphase models describe the dynamics of several types of cells\, liqu
id\, fibers (extra-cellular matrix) and both compressible and incompressib
le models are used in the literature.\n\nIn this talk I shall discuss the
analysis of multiphase models based on Darcy's assumption. The compactness
issue leads us to use Aronson-Benilan estimate and to build new variants.
I shall also discuss the incompressible limit in special cases and the a
ssociated free boundary problem.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The thresholding scheme for mean curvature flow and De Giorgi's ideas for
gradient flows\nby Felix Otto (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics i
n the Sciences\, Leipzig\, Germany) as part of Seminar In the Analysis and
Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nFlow of interfaces by mean curva
ture\, in its multi-phase version\,\nwas first formulated in the context o
f grain growth in polycrystalline materials. \nThe computationally efficie
nt and very popular thresholding scheme\nfor mean curvature flow by Osher
et. al. can be naturally extended \nto such a multi-phase situation\, even
for surface tensions that depend on \nthe lattice mismatch between the ad
jacent grains.\n\nThis extension relies on the gradient flow structure of
mean curvature flow\,\nand the interpretation of the thresholding scheme\n
as a corresponding "minimizing movements'' scheme\, that is\, a sequence o
f variational problems\nnaturally attached to the implicit time discretiza
tion of a gradient flow.\n\nThis interpretation also allows for a (conditi
onal) convergence proof based on De Giorgi's ideas\nfor gradient flows in
metric spaces. The approach is similar to\nthe convergence proof for the m
inimizing movement scheme by Almgren\, Taylor and Wang\,\nas given by Luck
haus et. al. \n\nThis is joint work with S. Esedoglu and T. Laux.\n

In the low density limit\, the empirical density obeys a law of large num
bers and the dynamics is governed asymptotically by the (kinetic) Boltzman
n equation. Deviations from this behavior are described by dynamical corre
lations\, which we can fully characterize for short times. This provides b

DESCRIPTION:Title: Generic regularity in obstacle problems\nby Alessio Figalli (ETH Zuri

IAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe classical obstacle problem consists of finding
the equilibrium position of an elastic membrane whose boundary is held fi
xed and constrained to lie above a given obstacle. By classical results of
Caffarelli\, the free boundary is smooth outside a set of singular points
. Explicit examples show that the singular set could be in general (n-1)-d
imensional — that is\, as large as the regular set. In a recent paper wi
th Ros-Oton and Serra we show that\, generically\, the singular set has co
dimension 3 inside the free boundary\, solving a conjecture of Schaeffer i
n dimension $n\\leq 4$. This talk aims to give an overview of these result

DESCRIPTION:Title: Finite dimensional approximations of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations in
spaces of probability measures. (Featured Article in SIAM Journal on Math
ematical Analysis)\nby Andrzej Swiech (Georgia Tech\, USA) as part of
Seminar In the Analysis and Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nWe wi
ll discuss how certain Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations in spaces o
f probability measures can be approximated by finite dimensional equations
. The most interesting cases are convergence of viscosity solutions of HJB
equations corresponding either to deterministic optimal control problems
for systems of $n$ particles or to stochastic optimal control problems for
systems of $n$ particles with a common noise\, to the viscosity solution
of a limiting HJB equation in the space of probability measures. The limit
ing HJB equation is interpreted in its ``lifted" form in a Hilbert space\,
which has a unique viscosity solution. When the Hamiltonian is convex in
the gradient variable and equations are of first order\, it can be proved
that the viscosity solutions of the finite dimensional problems converge t
o the value function of a variational problem in $\\mathcal{P}_2(\\R^d)$ t
hus providing a representation formula for the solution of the limiting fi
rst order HJB equation. The talk will also contain an overview of existing
works and various approaches to partial differential equations in abstrac

DESCRIPTION:Title: Auxiliary functionals: a path to solving the problem of turbulence\nb
y Sergei Chernyshenko (Imperial College London\, UK) as part of Seminar In
the Analysis and Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe problem of
turbulence is the greatest unsolved problem of classical fluid dynamics.
It is quite old. Similarly\, the problem of optimizing over the cone of no
nnegative polynomials was long believed to be too hard\,\nuntil at the sta
rt of the millennium a breakthrough paved a way by linking it\, through su
m-of-squares polynomial optimisation\, to semidefinite programming. And on
ly a few years ago\, auxiliary functionals were proposed with an \nultimat
e goal of applying the fruits of this breakthrough to solving the problem
of turbulence. The essence of these ideas is remarkably simple. The talk w
ill cover the basics\, and then a few questions will be reviewed deeper\,
including applications to systems of equations with energy-conserving quad
ratic nonlinearities\, such as the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky and the Navier-S
tokes equations.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Gaussian lower bounds for the Boltzmann equation without cut-off\nby
Luis Silvestre (University of Chicago) as part of Seminar In the Analysis
and Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Boltzmann equation model
s the evolution of densities of particles in a gas. Its global well posedn
ess is a major open problem\, facing comparable difficulties as similar qu
estions for equations in fluids. With current techniques\, we cannot rule
out the possibility of a spontaneous emergence of a singularity in the for
m of infinite mass or energy density concentrating at some point in space.
This work is part of a series of a priori estimates for the inhomogeneous
non-cutoff Boltzmann equation that are conditional to bounds on macroscop
ic quantities. We establish a Gaussian lower bound for solutions to the Bo
ltzmann equation without cutoff\, in the case of hard and moderately soft
potentials\, with spatial periodic conditions\, and under the sole assumpt
ion that hydrodynamic quantities (local mass\, local energy and local entr
opy density) remain bounded. In the talk\, we will discuss how this lower
bound fits in the larger program of conditional estimates.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Analytical aspects of emergent dynamics in systems of collective behavio
r\nby Roman Shvydkoy (University of Illinois\, Chicago) as part of Sem
inar In the Analysis and Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nOne of t
he challenging problems in the field of collective behavior is to understa
nd global emergent phenomena arising from purely local communication betwe
en agents. In the context of alignment dynamics examples of such global ph
enomena include flock formations\, reaching consensus of opinions\, emer
gence of leaders\, etc. For models based on purely local interactions the
assumption of graph-\, chain-\, or hydrodynamic connectivity of the flock
is often necessary\, but not always guaranteed\, to ensure collective out
come. In this talk we will give an overview of the subject and highlight
two new approaches to alignment dynamics in disconnected or weakly connect
ed flocks. One is based on a topological fractional diffusion that resembl
es the closest neighbor rule originating in various empirical studies\, an
d another based on the use of random fluctuations and the hypocoercivity p
roperty for the resulting kinetic Fokker-Planck-Alignment equation.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Compressible fluids\, entropy hierarchies\, and flocking\nby Theodor
e Drivas (Stony Brook University) as part of Seminar In the Analysis and M
ethods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nWe will discuss two types of one-d
imensional compressible fluid equations\; Navier-Stokes models with local
dissipation in which the viscosity depends degenerately on the density and
nonlocal models for collective dynamics which exhibit flocking behavior.
For the local models\, we prove large data global regularity for a class o
f equations covering viscous shallow water. Another result proves a conjec
ture of Peter Constantin on singularity formation for a model describing s
lender axisymmetric fluid jets. For the non-local models\, we establish a
continuation criterion which says that smooth solutions exist so long as
no vacuum states form. The method of proof involves introducing a hierarc
hy of entropies to control the solution in terms of the minimum density.
We also show that any weak solutions which obeying an entropy inequality e
xhibit flocking. This reports on joint work with P. Constantin\, H. Nguye

DESCRIPTION:Title: Symmetry and uniqueness via a variational approach\nby Yao Yao (Nati
onal University of Singapore) as part of Seminar In the Analysis and Metho
ds of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nFor some nonlocal PDEs\, their steady
states can be seen as critical points of some associated energy functional
. Therefore\, if one can construct perturbations around a function such th
at the energy decreases to first order along the perturbation\, this funct
ion cannot be a steady state. In this talk\, I will discuss how this simpl
e variational approach has led to some recent progress in the following eq
uations\, where the key is to carefully construct a suitable perturbation.
\n\nI will start with the aggregation-diffusion equation\, which is a non
local PDE driven by two competing effects: nonlinear diffusion and long-ra
nge attraction. We show that all steady states are radially symmetric up t
o a translation (joint with Carrillo\, Hittmeir and Volzone)\, and give so
me criteria on the uniqueness/non-uniqueness of steady states within the r
adial class (joint with Delgadino and Yan). I will also discuss the 2D Eul
er equation\, where we aim to understand under what condition must a stati
onary/uniformly-rotating solution be radially symmetric. Using a variation
al approach\, we settle some open questions on the radial symmetry of rota
ting patches\, and also show that any smooth stationary solution with comp
actly supported and nonnegative vorticity must be radial (joint with Góme
z-Serrano\, Park and Shi).\n

dispersive PDE\nby Andrea Nahmod (University of Massachusetts Amherst

n\n\nAbstract\nIn groundbreaking work\, Bourgain ’96 put forward a rando
m data theory to study the existence of strong solutions on the statistica
l ensemble of Gibbs measures associated to dispersive equations. Despite n
umerous follow-up works to those of Bourgain’s\, fundamental questions r
emained open. How does a given initial random data get transported by a no
nlinear flow ? If it is Gaussian initially\, how does this Gaussianity pr
opagate? What is the description of the solution beyond the linear evoluti
on?\n\nIn recent work\, joint with Yu Deng and Haitian Yue\, we developed
the theory of random tensors\, a powerful new framework which allows us to
unravel the propagation of randomness under the NLS flow beyond the linea
r evolution of random data\, and answer these questions in an optimal rang
e relative to what we define as the probabilistic scaling. In particular\
, we establish the invariance of Gibbs measures for 2D NLS and 3D Hartree
NLS equations using the method of random averaging operators\, a first ord
er approximation to the full random tensor theory. \n\nIn this talk we wil
l describe these results\, and explain the ideas behind them. We conclude
with some open problems and within this context present new work\, joint
with Bjoern Bringmann\, Yu Deng and Haitian Yue establishing the invarian
ce of the 3D Gibbs measure under the flow of the nonlinear wave equation.\

elev\, Changhui Tan \n\nThe question of how roots of polynomials move unde
r differentiation is classical. Contributions to this subject have been ma
de by Gauss\, Lucas\, Marcel Riesz\, Polya and many others. In 2018\, Stef
an Steinerberger derived formally a PDE that should describe the dynamics
of roots under differentiation in certain situations. The PDE in question
is of hydrodynamic type and bears a striking resemblance to the models use
d in mathematical biology to describe collective behavior and flocking of
various species - such as fish\, birds or ants. The equation is critical\,
but due to strongly nonlinear form of its coefficients\, proving global r
egularity for its solutions is harder than for equations such as Burgers\,
SQG or Euler alignment model. I will discuss joint work with Changhui Tan
in which we establish global regularity of Steinerberger's equation and m
ake a rigorous connection between its solutions and evolution of roots und

resent an overview of the theory of quantitative homogenization (stochasti
c as well as periodic) for elliptic and parabolic equations\, which has be
en developed in the last ten years. A particular emphasis will be on the i
dea of "coarse-graining the coefficient field" with applications to degene
rate equations and other situations which require "renormalization\," incl
uding some more recent applications to models in mathematical physics. Tim
e permitting\, I will discuss what I see as some of the most important ope

amin-Ono equation is a nonlinear dispersive wave equation in one space dim
ension\, introduced in 1967 as a model for long internal gravity waves in
a two layer fluid with infinite depth. In this talk\, I will show how the
use of a Lax pair provides a fairly complete picture of the dynamics with
periodic boundary conditions. I will discuss an explicit formula for the s
olutions\, global well posedness in sharp regularity\, long time dynamics
\, the classification of traveling waves\, of multi-solitons and of doubl
y periodic solutions\, and the smoothing effect. This talk is inspired fro
m a series of jointworks with Thomas Kappeler and Petar Topalov.\n

n\nLiving organisms come in an immense variety of shapes.\nIn many cases o
ne can expect that\, through natural selection\, a ``best possible" shape
will have evolved. From a mathematical perspective\, it is thus of interes
t to understand whether similar geometric shapes can be recovered as minim
izers of suitable functionals.\n\nAs a step in this direction\, we conside
r two functionals measuring the efficiency of roots and branches in a tree
. Namely: \n(i) a ``sunlight functional"\, modeling the total amount of su
nlight captured by the leaves of a tree\, and\n(ii) a ``harvest functional
"\, modeling the amount of nutrients collected by the roots.\nThe above fu
nctionals must be combined with a ``ramified transportation cost"\, for tr
ansporting nutrients from the roots to the base of the trunk\, or from the
base of the trunk to the leaves.\n\nThe talk will address the semicontinu
ity of these functionals\, and the existence and properties of optimal sol
utions\, in a space of measures.\nOpen problems will also be discussed\, i
ncluding computational issues and how these optimal shapes may depend on v
arious parameters.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Effective gaps for time-periodic Hamiltonians modeling Floquet materials
\nby Michael Weinstein (Columbia University) as part of Seminar In the
Analysis and Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nFeatured Article:
"Effective gaps in continuous Floquet Hamiltonians"\, SIAM J Math Analys
is 54 #1 2022. \n\nFeatured Article Authors: Amir Sagiv and Michael Wein
stein\n\n\nFloquet media are a type of material\, in which time-periodic f
orcing is applied to alter the material’s energy transport properties. E
xamples in classical and quantum physics include (i) applying a time-oscil
lating electric field to a graphene sheet to influence quantum electronic
transport\, and (ii) replacing a periodic array of standard optical wavegu
ides by an array of helically coiled waveguides to influence the flow of l
ight propagation in the array. The ability to modify energy transport via
time modulation is recognized as having great potential for applications t
o information transfer\, information processing\, and other applications.
\n\nWe discuss Floquet materials governed by a class of parametrically for
ced Schrödinger equations\, which arises in the above examples: \ni ψt =
Hε (t) ψ\, Hε(t) = H0 + ε W ( ε t \, -i ∇ ). (1)\n\
nThe operator H0 = - Δ + V ( x ) models a graphene-like static material
\; the potential V has the symmetries of a honeycomb tiling of the plane.
The family of self-adjoint operators T ↦ W ( T\, -i ∇ ) is assumed to
be Tper – periodic. \n\nWhile the energy transport of the unforced syste
m ( W ≡ 0 ) is governed by the band structure (Floquet-Bloch spectral th
eory) of H0 \, that of the forced system is characterized by the monodromy
operator\, the unitary mapping ψ0 ↦ ψ ( ε-1 Tper ) \, and its associ
ated quasi-energy spectrum. Gaps in the band spectrum and quasi-energy spe
ctrum\, respectively\, of static and Floquet materials\, play an important
role in their transport properties. \n\nThe evolution under Hε (t) of ba
nd-limited Dirac wave-packets (a natural model of physical excitations) is
well-approximated on very large time scales by an effective time-periodic
Dirac equation\, which has a gap in its quasi-energy spectrum. But little
is known about the nature of the quasi-energy spectrum of (1)\, and it is
believed that no such quasi-energy gap occurs. \n\nWe explain how to tran
sfer quasi-energy gap information about the effective Dirac dynamics to co
nclusions about the full Schrödinger dynamics (1). In particular\, we sho
w that (1) has an effective quasi-energy gap\, an interval of quasi-energi
es whose corresponding modes have only a very small spectral projection on
to the subspace of band-limited Dirac wave-packets. The notion of effectiv
e quasi-energy gap is a physically relevant relaxation of the strict notio
n of quasi-energy spectral gap. Physically\, if a system is tuned to drive
or measure at momenta and energies near the Dirac point of H0 \, then the
resulting modes in the effective quasi-energy gap will only be weakly exc
ited and detected. \n\nThis lecture focuses on joint work with Amir Sagiv
(Columbia University) appearing in the article: Effective gaps in continuo
us Floquet Hamiltonians\, SIMA 54 #1 2022.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The monopolist's free boundary problem in the plane: an excursion into t
he economic value of private information\nby Robert McCann (University
of Toronto\, Canada) as part of Seminar In the Analysis and Methods of PD
E (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe principal-agent problem is an important pa
radigm in economic theory for studying the value of private information: t
he nonlinear pricing problem faced by a monopolist is one example\; others
include optimal taxation and auction design. For multidimensional spaces
of consumers (i.e. agents) and products\, Rochet and Chone (1998) reformul
ated this problem as a concave maximization over the set of convex functio
ns\, by assuming agent preferences are bilinear in the product and agent p
arameters. This optimization corresponds mathematically to a convexity-con
strained obstacle problem. The solution is divided into multiple regions\,
according to the rank of the Hessian of the optimizer.\n\nApart from four
possible pathologies\, if the monopolist’s costs grow quadratically wi
th the product type we show that a smooth free boundary delineates the reg
ion where it becomes efficient to customize products for individual buyers
. We give the first complete solution of the problem on square domains\,
and discover new transitions from unbunched to targeted and from targeted
to blunt bunching as market conditions become more and more favorable to t
he seller.\n\nBased on work with Cale Rankin (Monash University) and Kelv

the most basic reaction-diffusion equations\, modeling a large variety of
phase transition problems. In a suitable scaling limit\, the transition b
ecomes sharp and the system follows a geometric evolution equation - the m
ean curvature flow. The structure of this "sharp-interface limit" has rece
ived continuous attention from both the geometric and applied analysis com
munities over the last decades. In this talk\, I will give an overview of
some of the breakthroughs in this field and highlight a recent short conve
rgence analysis in a joint work with Julian Fischer and Theresa Simon. Our
proof is based on a new relative entropy for diffuse interface problems t
hat allows us to prove the optimal convergence rate toward mean curvature
flow.\n\nAtanas Stefanov\, University of Alabama\, Birminghan (stefanov@ua

DESCRIPTION:Title: Soliton dynamics for classical scalar fields\nby Andrew Lawrie (Univ
ersity of Maryland\, College Park) as part of Seminar In the Analysis and
Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nI will present some of my recent
work with Jacek Jendrej. We study classical scalar fields in dimension 1+1
with a symmetric double-well self-interaction potential. Examples of such
equations are the phi-4 model and the sine-Gordon equation. These nonline
ar wave equations admit non-trivial static solutions called kinks and anti
kinks\, which are amongst the simplest examples of topological solitons. W
e define an n-kink cluster to be a solution approaching\, for large positi
ve times\, a superposition of n alternating kinks and antikinks whose velo
cities converge to zero and mutual distances grow to infinity. Our main re
sult is a determination of the leading order asymptotic behavior of any n-
kink cluster. We use this information to construct the n-dimensional invar
iant manifold of n-kink clusters\, which plays the dynamical role of the s
table/unstable manifold for an ideal "critical point at infinity” given
by well separated multi-kink configurations. In this context we also expla
in the role of kink clusters as universal profiles for the formation/annih
ilation of multikink configurations.\n\nSession Chair: Atanas Stefanov\, U
