DESCRIPTION:Title: Distinct distances for well-separated sets\nby Hong Wang (
IAS) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in https://u
cla.zoom.us/j/9264073849.\n\nAbstract\nGiven a set E of dimension s>1\, Fa
lconer conjectured that its distance set \\Delta(E)=\\{|x-y|: x\, y\\in E\
\} should have positive Lebesgue measure. Orponen\, Shmerkin and Keleti-Sh
merkin proved the conjecture for tightly spaced sets\, for example\, AD-re
gular sets.\n\nIn this talk\, we are going to discuss the opposite type: w
ell-separated sets. This is joint work with Larry Guth and Noam Solomon.\n

constant mass density continues as a harmonic function inside the ball exc

ic in a spherical shell function vanishes on one piece of a line through t
he center piercing the shell\, then it must vanish on the second piece of
that line. Yet\, the similar statement fails for tori.\n\nIf we solve the
Dirichlet problem in an ellipse with entire data\, the solution will alway
s be an entire harmonic function. Yet\, if we do that in a domain bounded
by the curve x^4 + y^4 =1\, with the data as simple as x^2+y^2\, the solut

An ellipsephic set is a subset of the natural numbers whose elements have
digital restrictions in some fixed prime base. Such sets have a fractal st
ructure and can be viewed as p-adic Cantor sets. The particular ellipsephi
c sets that interest us have certain additive properties - for example\, t
he set of integers whose digits are squares forms a key motivating example
\, because there are few representations of an integer as the sum of two s
quares.\n\n\nWe obtain discrete restriction estimates for the moment curve
over ellipsephic sets—in number theoretic terms\, we bound the number o
f ellipsephic solutions to a Vinogradov system of equations—using Wooley
’s nested efficient congruencing method. These results generalise previo
us work of the speaker\, on the quadratic case of this problem\, to the mo
ment curve of arbitrary degree.\n

58.\n\nAbstract\nWe all know how to do Fourier Analysis on an interval\, o
n {\\mathbb R}^d\, or other groups. But what if our functions live on a su
bset of Euclidean space\, let's say on a regular hexagon in the plane? Can
we use our beloved exponentials\, functions of the form e_\\lambda(x) = \
\exp(2\\pi i \\lambda\\cdot x) to analyze the functions defined on our dom
ain? In other words\, can we select a set of frequencies \\lambda such tha
t the corresponding exponentials form an orthogonal basis for L^2 of our d
omain? It turns out that the existence of such an orthogonal basis depends
heavily on the domain. So the answer is yes\, we can find an orthogonal b
asis of exponentials for the hexagon\, but if we ask the same question for
a disk\, the answer turns out to be no.\n\nFuglede conjectured in the 197
0s that the existence of such an exponential basis is equivalent to the do
main being able to tile space by translations (the hexagon\, that we menti
oned\, indeed can tile\, while the disk cannot). In this talk we will trac
k this conjecture and the mathematics created by the attempts to settle it
and its variants. We will see some of its rich connections to geometry\,
number theory and harmonic analysis and some of the spectacular recent suc

DESCRIPTION:Title: Roots of polynomials under repeated differentiation: a nonloc

of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nSuppose you have a polynom
ial of degree $p_n$ whose $n$ real roots are roughly distributed like a Ga
ussian (or some other nice distribution) and you differentiate $t\\cdot n$
times where $0< t<1$. What's the distribution of the $(1-t)n$ roots of th
at $(t\\cdot n)$-th derivative? How does it depend on $t$? We identify a
relatively simple nonlocal evolution equation (the nonlocality is given by
a Hilbert transform)\; it has two nice closed-form solutions\, a shrinkin
g semicircle and a family of Marchenko-Pastur distributions (this sounds l
ike random matrix theory and we make some remarks in that direction). More
over\, the underlying evolution satisfies an infinite number of conservati
on laws that one can write down explicitly. This suggests a lot of questio
ns: Sean O'Rourke and I proposed an analogous equation for complex-valued
polynomials. Motivated by some numerical simulations\, Jeremy Hoskins and
I conjectured that $t=1$\, just before the polynomial disappears\, the sh
ape of the remaining roots is a semicircle and we prove that for a class o
f random polynomials. I promise lots of open problems and pretty pictures

to give a direct proof of global existence and regularity for the Navier-

Our techniques are inspired by an approach of Mattingly and Sinai which w
as developed in the context of periodic boundary conditions on a flat back
ground\, and which is based on a maximum principle for Fourier coefficient
s. The extension to general manifolds requires several new ideas\, connect
ed to the less favorable spectral localization properties in our setting.
Our arguments make use of frequency projection operators\, multilinear est

DESCRIPTION:Title: Radial symmetry in stationary/uniformly-rotating solutions to
2D Euler equation\nby Jaemin Park (Georgia Tech) as part of UCLA anal
ysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, I will discuss whether
all stationary/uniformly-rotating solutions of 2D Euler equation must be r
adially symmetric\, if the vorticity is compactly supported. For a station
ary solution that is either smooth or of patch type\, we prove that if the
vorticity does not change sign\, it must be radially symmetric up to a tr
anslation. It turns out that the fixed-sign condition is necessary for rad
ial symmetry result: indeed\, we are able to find non-radial sign changing
stationary solution with compact support. We have also obtained some shar
p criteria on symmetry for uniformly-rotating solutions for 2D Euler equat
ion and the SQG equation. The symmetry results are mainly obtained by calc
ulus of variations and elliptic equation techniques\, and the construction
of non-radial solution is obtained from bifurcation theory. Part of this
talk is based on joint work with Javier Gomez-Serrano\, Jia Shi and Yao Ya

DESCRIPTION:Title: Spectral structure and arithmetic progressions\nby Thomas
Bloom (Cambridge) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\
nHow much additive structure can we guarantee in sets of integers\, knowin
g only their density? The study of which density thresholds are sufficient
to guarantee the existence of various kinds of additive structures is an
old and fascinating subject with connections to analytic number theory\, a
dditive combinatorics\, and harmonic analysis.\n\nIn this talk we will dis
cuss recent progress on perhaps the most well-known of these thresholds: h
ow large do we need a set of integers to be to guarantee the existence of
a three-term arithmetic progression? In recent joint work with Olof Sisask
we broke through the logarithmic density barrier for this problem\, estab
lishing in particular that if a set is dense enough such that the sum of r
eciprocals diverges\, then it must contain a three-term arithmetic progres
sion\, establishing the first case of an infamous conjecture of Erdos.\n\n
We will give an introduction to this problem and sketch some of the recent
ideas that have made this progress possible. We will pay particular atten
tion to the ways we exploit 'spectral structure' - understanding combinato
rially sets of large Fourier coefficients\, which we hope will have furthe
r applications in number theory and harmonic analysis.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Two results on the interaction energy\nby Yao Yao (Georgi
a Tech) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nFor any no
nnegative density $f$ and radially decreasing interaction potential $W$\,
the celebrated Riesz rearrangement inequality shows the interaction energy
$E[f] = \\int f(x)f(y)W(x-y) dxdy$ satisfies $E[f] \\leq E[f^*]$\, where
$f^*$ is the radially decreasing rearrangement of $f$. It is a natural que
stion to look for a quantitative version of this inequality: if its two si
des almost agree\, how close must $f$ be to a translation of $f^*$? Previo
usly the stability estimate was only known for characteristic functions. I
will discuss a recent work with Xukai Yan\, where we found a simple proof
of stability estimates for general densities. \n\nI will also discuss ano
ther work with Matias Delgadino and Xukai Yan\, where we constructed an in
terpolation curve between any two radially decreasing densities with the s
ame mass\, and show that the interaction energy is convex along this inter
polation. As an application\, this leads to uniqueness of steady states in
aggregation-diffusion equations with any attractive interaction potential
for diffusion power $m\\geq 2$\, where the threshold is sharp.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Stable big bang formation in general relativity: the complete
sub-critical regime\nby Jared Speck (Vanderbilt) as part of UCLA anal
ysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe celebrated theorems of Hawking and
Penrose show that under appropriate assumptions on the matter model\, a l
arge\, open set of initial data for Einstein's equations lead to geodesica
lly incomplete solutions. However\, these theorems are "soft" in that they
do not yield any information\nabout the nature of the incompleteness\, le
aving open the possibilities that \n\ni) it is tied to the blowup of some
invariant quantity (such as curvature) or \n\nii) it is due to a more sini
ster phenomenon\, such as\nincompleteness due to lack of information for h
ow to uniquely continue the solution (this is roughly\nknown as the format
ion of a Cauchy horizon). \n\nDespite the "general ambiguity" in the mathe
matical physics literature\, there are heuristic results\, going back 50 y
ears\, suggesting that whenever a certain "sub-criticality" condition hold
s\, the Hawking-Penrose incompleteness is caused by the formation of a Big
Bang singularity\, that is\, curvature blowup along an entire spacelike h
ypersurface. In\nrecent joint work with I. Rodnianski and G. Fournodavlos\
, we have given a rigorous proof of the heuristics. More precisely\, our r
esults apply to Sobolev-class perturbations - without symmetry - of genera
lized Kasner solutions whose exponents satisfy the sub-criticality conditi
on. Our main\ntheorem shows that - like the generalized Kasner solutions -
the perturbed solutions develop Big Bang singularities. \n\nIn this talk\
, I will provide an overview of our result and explain how it is tied to s
ome of the main themes of investigation by the mathematical general relati
vity community\, including the remarkable work of Dafermos-Luk on the stab
ility of Kerr Cauchy horizons. I will also discuss the new gauge that we u

the zeroes of solutions to elliptic differential equations such as the vis

metrical and analytic properties of zero sets of harmonic functions and ei

there is an interesting relation between local length of the zero set and
the growth of harmonic functions. The larger the zero set is\, the faster
the growth of harmonic function should be and vice versa. Zero sets of Lap
lace eigenfunctions on surfaces are unions of smooth curves with equiangul
ar intersections. Topology of the zero set could be quite complicated\, bu
t Yau conjectured that the total length of the zero set is comparable to t

Ivanisvili (NC State) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstr
act\nThe classical triangle inequality in Lp estimates the norm of the sum
of two functions in terms of the sums of the norms of these functions. Pe
rhaps one drawback of this estimate is that it does not see how "orthogona
l" these functions are. For example\, if f and g are not identically zero
and they have disjoint supports then the triangle inequality is pretty str
ict (say for p>1).\n\nMotivated by the L2 case\, where one has a trivial i
nequality ||f+g||^2 \\leq ||f||^2 + ||g||^2 + 2 |fg|_1\, one can think abo
ut the quantity |fg|_1 as measuring the "overlap" between f and g. What is
the correct analog of this estimate in Lp for p different than 2?\n\nMy t
alk will be based on a joint work with Carlen\, Frank and Lieb where we ob
tain one extension of this estimate in Lp\, thereby proving and improving
the suggested possible estimates by Carbery\, and another work with Mooney
where we further refine these estimates. The estimates will be provided f

small-parameter large deviations of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). It is
finite if and only if the curve is a Weil-Petersson quasicircle\, an inte
resting class of Jordan curves appearing in Teichmuller theory\, geometric
function theory\, and string theory with currently more than 20 equivalen
t definitions. In this talk\, I will show that the large-parameter large d
eviations of SLE gives rise to a new Loewner-Kufarev energy\, which is dua

exhibits remarkable features and symmetries. Based on joint works with Mor

carefully designing a family of initial configurations of localized matte

totic expansion of a suitable family of averaging operators (to be applied
on u)\; the operators are parametrized by the radius \\epsilon of averagi
ng\, and the coefficient in the expansion that multiplies the appropriate
power of \\epsilon should equal Lu\, the "appropriate power" refers to the
order of L\;\n\n(ii) study the related mean value equation by removing hi
gher order terms in the expansion\;\n\n(iii) interpret the mean value equa
tion as the dynamic programming principle of a two-player game incorporati
ng deterministic and stochastic components\;\n\n(iv) pass to the limit in
the radius of averaging \\epsilon\, in order to recover solutions to Lu=0
from the values of the game process.\n\nIn my talk\, I will explain this a
pproach in the contexts of p-Laplacian and the non-local geometric p-Lapla
cian. Other applications include: Robin boundary conditions and weighted L
aplace-Beltrami operator on a manifold. In each case\, finding the appropr

$\, after which there exist at least $2k$ forward evolutions $M_t^1\, \\do

M_t^j$ and $N_t^j$ are topologically distinct. The analogous statement f
or Ricci Flow also holds\, and I will explain both.\n\nBuilding on these s
elf similar solutions to MCF\, I will also describe non-self similar solut
ions that have a given cone as their initial data. One conclusion is that
for any $k>1$ there is a smooth self similar solution to MCF that forms a
one point singularity\, and for which the set of possible smooth forward
evolutions contains a k-dimensional continuum. Another conclusion is that
the set of smooth solutions to MCF whose initial condition is one of the

tov (New Jersey Institute of Technology) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE

c films as local minimizers of a reduced micromagnetic energy appropriate
for quasi two-dimensional materials with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
and interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The minimization is ca
rried out in a suitable class of two-dimensional magnetization configurati
ons that prevents the energy from going to negative infinity\, while not i
mposing any restrictions on the spatial scale of the configuration. We fir
st demonstrate existence of minimizers for an explicit range of the model
parameters when the energy is dominated by the exchange energy. We then in
vestigate the conformal limit\, in which only the exchange energy survives
and identify the asymptotic profiles of the skyrmions as degree $1$ harmo
nic maps from the plane to the sphere\, together with their radii\, angles
and energies. A byproduct of our analysis is a quantitative rigidity resu

V is analytically ill-posed in the $L^2$-based Sobolev support\, we instea
d prove deterministic local well-posedness in some Fourier-Lebesgue spaces
containing the support of the Gibbs measures. New key ingredients are bil
inear and trilinear Strichartz estimates adapted to the Fourier-Lebesgue s

equation\nby Kihyun Kim (KAIST) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE semin
ar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe consider the blow-up dynamics of the self-dual Chern-
Simons-Schrödinger equation (CSS) under equivariance symmetry. (CSS) is $
L^2$-critical\, has the pseudoconformal symmetry\, and admits a soliton $Q
$ for each equivariance index $m \\geq 0$. An application of the pseudocon
formal transformation to $Q$ yields an explicit finite-time blow-up soluti
on $S(t)$ which contracts at the pseudoconformal rate $|t|$. In the high e
quivariance case $m \\geq 1$\, the pseudoconformal blow-up for smooth fini
te energy solutions in fact occurs in a codimension one sense\; it is stab
le under a codimension one perturbation\, but also exhibits an instability
mechanism. In the radial case $m=0$\, however\, $S(t)$ is no longer a fin
ite energy blow-up solution. Interestingly enough\, there are smooth finit
e energy blow-up solutions whose blow-up rates differ from the pseudoconfo
rmal rate by a power of logarithm. We will explore these interesting blow-
up dynamics (with more focus on the latter) via modulation analysis. This

DESCRIPTION:Title: The HRT Conjecture\nby Kasso Okoudjou (Tufts) as part of
UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 1996\, C.~Heil\, J.~Ramana
tha\, and P.~Topiwala conjectured that the (finite) set $\\mathcal{G}(g\,
\\Lambda)=\\{e^{2\\pi i b_k \\cdot}g(\\cdot - a_k)\\}_{k=1}^N$ is linearly
independent for any non-zero square integrable function $g$ and subset
$\\Lambda=\\{(a_k\, b_k)\\}_{k=1}^N \\subset \\mathbb{R}^2.$ This problem
is now known as the HRT Conjecture\, and is still largely unresolved. \n
\n\nIn the first part of the talk\, I will give an overview of the state o
f the conjecture. I will then introduce an inductive approach to investiga
te the conjecture\, by attempting to answer the following question. Suppos
e the HRT conjecture is true for a function $g$ and a fixed set of $N$ poi
nts $\\Lambda=\\{(a_k\, b_k)\\}_{k=1}^N \\subset \\mathbb{R}^2.$ For what
other point $(a\, b)\\in \\mathbb{R}^2\\setminus \\Lambda$ will the HRT re
main true for the same function $g$ and the new set of $N+1$ points $\\Lam
bda'=\\Lambda \\cup \\{(a\, b)\\}$? I will illustrate this inductive argum
ent on special classes of sets $\\Lambda$ when $N\\leq 4$.\n

s Hytonen (U. Helsinki) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbst
ract\nThe extrapolation theorem of Rubio de Francia is one of the most pow
erful tools in the theory of weighted norm inequalities: it allows one to
deduce an inequality (often but not necessarily: the bounded of an operato
r) on all weighted L^p spaces with a range of p\, by checking it just for
one exponent p (but all relevant weights). My topic is an analogous method
for extrapolation of compactness. In a relatively soft way\, it recovers
several recent results about compactness of operators on weighted spaces a
nd also gives some new ones. I expect there to be many more applications t

Kyeongsik Nam (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstrac
t\nThe large deviation problem for the spectrum of random matrices has att
racted immense interest. It was first studied for GUE and GOE\, which are
exactly solvable\, and subsequently studied for Wigner matrices with gener
al distributions. Once the sparsity is induced (i.e. each entry is multipl
ied by the independent Bernoulli distribution\, Ber(p))\, eigenvalues can
exhibit a drastically different behavior. For a large class of Wigner matr
ices\, including Gaussian ensembles and the adjacency matrix of Erdos-Reny
i graphs\, dense behavior ceases to hold near the constant average degree
of sparsity\, p~1/n (up to a poly-logarithmic factor). In this talk\, I wi

Keller (Bar Ilan University) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\
nAbstract\nAnalysis of Boolean functions studies functions on the discrete
cube {-1\,1}^n\, aiming at understanding what the structure of the (discr
ete) Fourier transform tells us about the function. In this talk we focus
on the structure of low-degree functions on the discrete cube\, namely\, o
n functions whose Fourier coefficients are concentrated on low degrees. Wh
ile such functions look very simple\, we are surprisingly far from underst
anding them well\, even in the most basic first-degree case. \nWe shall pr
esent several results on first-degree Boolean functions\, including the re
cent proof of Tomaszewski's conjecture (1986) which asserts that any first
-degree function (viewed as a random variable) lies within one standard de
viation from its expectation with probability at least 1/2. Then we shall
discuss several core open questions\, which boil down to understanding\, w
hat does the knowledge that a low-degree function is bounded\, or is two-v
alued\, tell us about its structure.\n\nBased on joint work with Ohad Klei

bstract\nIt is a basic fact of convexity that the volume of convex bodies
is a polynomial\, whose coefficients (mixed volumes) define a large family
of natural geometric parameters. A fundamental result of convex geometry\
, the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality\, states that these coefficients are l
og-concave. This result proves to have striking connections with other are
as of mathematics\, such as combinatorics and algebraic geometry.\n\nThere
is a long-standing problem surrounding the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality
that has remained open since the original works of Minkowski (1903) and Al
exandrov (1937): in what cases is equality attained? This question corresp
onds to the solution of certain unusual isoperimetric problems\, whose ext
remal bodies turn out to be numerous and strikingly bizarre. With Y. Shenf
eld\, we recently succeeded to settle this problem completely in the setti
ng of convex polytopes\, as well as to develop new tools for the study of
general convex bodies. In this talk\, I aim to sketch what the extremals l
ook like and to indicate some combinatorial\, analytic\, and geometric iss

University of British Columbia) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n
\n\nAbstract\nIt is well known that if a finite set of integers A tiles th

o that the tiling is equivalent to a factorization A+B=Z_M of a finite cyc
lic group. Coven and Meyerowitz (1998) proved that when the tiling period
M has at most two distinct prime factors\, each of the sets A and B can be
replaced by a highly ordered "standard" tiling complement. It is not know
n whether this behaviour persists for all tilings with no restrictions on
the number of prime factors of M.\n\nIn joint work with Itay Londner\, we
proved that this is true when M=(pqr)^2 is odd. (We are currently finalizi
ng the even case.) In my talk I will discuss this problem and introduce th
e main ingredients in the proof.\n

prove that the product of the fundamental gap with the square of the diame

/a>\nby Terence Tao (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nA
bstract\nIn 1958\, Blagovest Sendov made the following conjecture: if a po
lynomial $f$ of degree $n \\geq 2$ has all of its zeroes in the unit disk\
, and $a$ is one of these zeroes\, then at least one of the critical point
s of $f$ lies within a unit distance of $a$. Despite a large amount of ef
fort by many mathematicians and several partial results (such as the verif
ication of the conjecture for degrees $n \\leq 8$)\, the full conjecture r
emains unresolved. In this talk we present a new result that establishes
the conjecture whenever the degree $n$ is larger than some sufficiently la
rge absolute constant $n_0$. A result of this form was previously establi
shed in 2014 by Degot assuming that the distinguished zero $a$ stayed away
from the origin and the unit circle. To handle these latter cases we stu
dy the asymptotic limit as $n \\to \\infty$ using techniques from potentia
l theory (and in particular the theory of balayage)\, which has connection
s to probability theory (and Brownian motion in particular). Applying uni
que continuation theorems in the asymptotic limit\, one can control the as
ymptotic behavior of both the zeroes and the critical points\, which allow
s us to resolve the case when $a$ is near the origin via the argument prin
ciple\, and when $a$ is near the unit circle by careful use of Taylor expa
nsions to gain fine asymptotic control on the polynomial $f$.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Uniform Distribution and Incidence Theory\nby Ayla Gafni
(University of Mississippi) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\n
Abstract\nThe Szemeredi-Trotter Incidence Theorem\, a central result in ge
ometric combinatorics\, bounds the number of incidences between n points a
nd m lines in the Euclidean plane. Replacing lines with circles leads to
the unit distance problem\, which asks how many pairs of points in a plana
r set of n points can be at a unit distance. The unit distance problem br
eaks down in dimensions 4 and higher due to degenerate configurations that
attain the trivial bound. However\, nontrivial results are possible unde
r certain structural assumptions about the point set. In this talk\, we w
ill introduce a quantitative version of uniform distribution and use that
property to obtain nontrivial bounds on unit distances and point-hyperplan
e incidences in higher-dimensional Euclidean space. This is based on join
t work with Alex Iosevich and Emmett Wyman.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Low complexity tilings of the plane\nby Jarkko Kari (Univ
ersity of Turku) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nA
two-dimensional configuration is a coloring of the infinite grid Z^2 usin
g a finite number of colors. For a finite subset D of Z^2\, the D-patterns
of a configuration are the patterns of shape D that appear in the configu
ration. The number of distinct D-patterns of a configuration is a natural
measure of its complexity. We consider low-complexity configurations where
the number of distinct D-patterns is at most |D|\, the size of the shape.
We use algebraic tools to study periodicity of such configurations [1]. I
n the case D is a rectangle - or in fact any convex shape - we establish t
hat a uniformly recurrent configuration that has low-complexity with respe
ct to shape D must be periodic [2]. This implies an algorithm to determine
if a given collection of mn rectangular patterns of size mxn admit a conf
iguration containing only these patterns. Without the complexity bound the
question is the well-known undecidable domino problem. We also show\, for
an arbitrary shape D\, that a low-complexity configuration must be period
ic if it comes from the well-known Ledrappier subshift\, or from a wide fa
mily of other similar algebraic subshifts [3].\n\nReferences\n[1] J. Kari\

DESCRIPTION:Title: A structure theorem for Gowers-Host-Kra seminorms for non-fin

halom (HUJI) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nFurst
enberg's famous proof of Szemeredi's theorem leads to a natural question a
bout the convergence and limit of some multiple ergodic averages. In the c
ase of $\\mathbb{Z}$-actions these averages were studied by Host-Kra and Z
iegler. They show that the limiting behavior of such multiple ergodic aver
age is determined on a certain factor that can be given the structure of a
n inverse limit of nilsystems (i.e. rotations on a nilmanifold). This stru
cture result can be generalized to $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ actions (where the aver
age is taken over a Folner sequence)\, but the non-finitely generated case
is still open. The only progress prior to our work is due to Bergelson Ta
o and Ziegler\, who studied actions of the infinite direct sum $\\mathbb{Z
}/p\\mathbb{Z}$. In our work we generalize this further to the case where
the sum is taken over different primes (the most interesting case is when
the multiset of primes is unbounded). We will explain how this case is sig
nificantly different from the work of Bergelson Tao and Ziegler by describ
ing a new phenomenon that only happens in these settings. Moreover\, we wi
ll discuss a generalized version of nilsystems that plays a role in our wo
rk and some corollaries. If time allows we will also discuss the group act
ions of other abelian groups.\n

n\n\nAbstract\nSeveral of the most important problems in combinatorial num
ber theory ask for the size of the largest subset of an abelian group or i

example of such a question is\, "What is the largest subset of {1\,...\,N
} with no nontrivial k-term arithmetic progressions x\,x+y\,...\,x+(k-1)y?
". Gowers initiated the study of higher order Fourier analysis while seeki
ng to answer this question and used it to give the first reasonable quanti
tative bounds. In this talk\, I'll discuss what higher order Fourier analy
sis is and why it is relevant to the study of arithmetic progressions and
other configurations\, including 'polynomial' and 'multidimensional' confi
gurations\, and survey recent progress on problems related to the polynomi

answers to this question. Of particular interest are 3D solutions in the c
ritical endpoint space $L_t^\\infty L_x^3$ for which Escauriaza-Seregin-Sv

as extensions to other critical spaces and to higher dimensions.\n

optimal transport problem where transport is constrained to occur followi

atrix norm $\\sum_{x\,y\,x'\,y'} f(x\,y) f(x\,y') f(x'\,y) f(x'\,y')$\, an
d an elementary proof is by applying Cauchy--Schwarz twice. Similarly in
additive combinatorics\, counting three-term arithmetic progressions (x\,x
+y\,x+2y) (i.e.\, averages $\\sum_{x\,y} f_1(x) f_2(x+y) f_3(x+2y)$) is co
ntrolled by the Gowers $U^2$-norm $\\sum_{x\,y\,x'\,y'} f(x+y) f(x+y') f(x
'+y) f(x'+y')$: generalizations of this are the starting point of Gowers'
proof of Szemeredi's theorem.\n\nHowever\, seemingly simple generalization
s of this statement quickly become subtle. For example\, linear configura
tions $(x\, x+z\, x+y\, x+y+z\, x+2y+3z\, 2x+3y+6z)$ are controlled by the
$U^2$-norm (and so by Fourier analysis) but it is not at all straightforw
ard to prove this just with Cauchy--Schwarz\; whereas controlling $(x\, x+
z\, x+y\, x+y+z\, x+2y+3z\, 13x+12y+9z)$ requires the $U^3$-norm (i.e.\, q
uadratic Fourier analysis) and this can be proved just with Cauchy--Schwar
z. A conjecture of Gowers and Wolf (resolved by the joint efforts of vari
ous authors) gives a condition to determine when a configuration is contro
lled by the $U^k$-norm\, but the proofs require deep structure theorems an
d (unlike Cauchy--Schwarz arguments) give very weak bounds.\n\nIn this tal
k\, I will describe how it is (sometimes) possible to find the missing Cau
chy--Schwarz arguments by "mining proofs". The equality cases of these Ca
uchy--Schwarz inequalities correspond (it turns out) to facts about functi
onal equations. For example\, the 3-term progression case states the foll
owing: if $f_1\,f_2\,f_3$ are functions such that $f_1(x)+f_2(x+h)+f_3(x+2
h) = 0$ for all $x\,h$\, then each $f_i$ must be affine-linear. This stat
ement is not completely obvious but has a short elementary proof.\n\nGiven
such an elementary proof\, sometimes we can reverse the process to find a
n iterated Cauchy--Schwarz proof of the corresponding inequality -- albeit
a very long and complicated one that would be hard to discover by hand\,
and requiring a proof of a very specific type. This answers the Gowers--W
olf question with polynomial bounds\, and hopefully other questions where
the availability of complicated Cauchy--Schwarz arguments is a limiting fa
ctor.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: A decoupling interpretation of an old argument for Vinogrado
v's Mean Value Theorem\nby Zane Li (IU) as part of UCLA analysis and P
DE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThere are two proofs of Vinogradov's Mean Value
Theorem (VMVT)\, the harmonic analysis decoupling proof by Bourgain\, Deme
ter\, and Guth from 2015 and the number theoretic efficient congruencing p
roof by Wooley from 2017. While there has been recent work illustrating th
e relation between these two methods\, VMVT has been open since 1935. It i
s then natural to ask: What does old partial progress on VMVT look like in
harmonic analysis language? How similar or different does it look from cu
rrent decoupling proofs? We talk about an old argument that shows VMVT "as
ymptotically" due to Karatsuba and interpret this in decoupling language.
This is ongoing work in progress with Brian Cook\, Kevin Hughes\, Olivier

ct\nI will present the full solution to a small cap decoupling problem for

n particular\, we prove Conjecture 2.5 in dimension 3 from the original sm
all cap decoupling paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.09166.pdf) of Demeter
\, Guth\, and Wang. Decoupling for the moment curve involves the following
set-up. Begin with a function $f$ with Fourier transform supported on a s
mall neighborhood of a curve. Break the curve up into pieces which are app
roximately linear blocks. Then we estimate the size of $f$ in terms of an
expression with the Fourier projections onto each of these blocks. This is
possible since the Fourier projections of $f$ onto different blocks canno
t both be large for a long time\, which we exploit using a high-low freque
ncy argument. This is based on in-progress work in collaboration with Larr

our arguments. However\, the theory of Oscillatory Integral Operators wil

ted to take values in Z and usually their Gibbs factor depends only on the
gradient of the field. When the Gibbs factor is such that the typical val
ue of the gradients is much larger than 1 (the spacing of points in Z)\, t
he integer constraint becomes less relevant so the field behaves as if it
were real-valued and “delocalizes”. In 2D\, this delocalization is ass

recent monotonicity theorems for fluctuations which are important to estab

DESCRIPTION:Title: On the competition between advection and vortex stretching\nby Jiajie Chen (Caltech) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\
nAbstract\nWhether the 3D incompressible Euler equations can develop a fin
ite-time singularity from smooth initial data is an outstanding open probl
em. The presence of vortex stretching is the primary source of a potential
finite-time singularity. However\, to construct a singularity\, the effec
t of the advection is one of the obstacles. In this talk\, we will first s
how some examples in incompressible fluids about the competition between a
dvection and vortex stretching. Then we will discuss the De Gregorio (DG)
model\, which adds an advection term to the Constantin-Lax-Majda model to
model this competition. In an effort to establish singularity formation in
incompressible fluids\, we develop a novel approach based on dynamic resc
aling formulation. Using this approach\, we construct finite time singular
ities of the DG model on the real line from smooth initial data and on a c
ircle from C^{\\alpha} initial data with any $0<\\alpha < 1$. On the other
hand\, for $C^1$ initial data with the same sign and symmetry properties
as those of the blowup solution\, we prove that the solution of the DG mod
el on a circle exists globally.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Lorentz gases on quasicrystals\nby Agnieszka Zelerowicz
(UC Riverside) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in
Caltech Linde 310.\n\nAbstract\nThe Lorentz gas was originally introduced
as a model for the movement of electrons in metals.\n\n It consists of a
massless point particle (electron) moving through Euclidean space bouncing
off a given set of scatterers $\\mathcal{S}$ (atoms of the metal) with el
astic collisions at the boundaries $\\partial \\mathcal{S}$. If the set of
scatterers is periodic in space\, then the quotient system\, which is com
pact\, is known as the Sinai billiard. There is a great body of work devot
ed to Sinai billiards and in many ways their dynamics is well understood.\
n\n In contrast\, very little is known about the behavior of the Lorentz g
ases with aperiodic configurations of scatterers which model quasicrystals
and other low-complexity aperiodic sets. This case is the focus of our jo
int work with Rodrigo Trevi\\~no. \n\nWe establish some dynamical properti
es which are common for the periodic and quasiperiodic billiards. We also
point out some significant differences between the two. The novelty of our
approach is the use of tiling spaces to obtain a compact model of the ape
riodic Lorentz gas on the plane.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The gradient flow structure of the Landau equation\nby J
eremy Wu (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held i
n UCLA Math 6221.\n\nAbstract\nThe Landau equation is one of the cornersto
nes of kinetic theory. It describes the evolution of a gas of plasma parti
cles. Complementing its physical relevance\, the mathematical theory of th
e Landau equation is very deep\, yet incomplete owing to the competing eff
ects of quasilinear diffusion and quadratic growth. Global regularity has
eluded researchers because of this competition and a related open question
is global uniqueness of weak solutions. This talk introduces the gradient
flow structure of the Landau equation to set the foundation for an approa
ch to answering this problem. The construction of the metric which induces
the gradient flow structure builds upon the dynamic formulation of classi
cal Wasserstein metrics. This is based on joint work with José A. Carrill
o\, Matias G. Delgadino\, and Laurent Desvillettes.\n

/a>\nby Andrew Lawrie (MIT) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\n
Abstract\nI will present a joint work with Jacek Jendrej (CRNS\, Sorbonne
Paris Nord) on equivariant wave maps with values in the two-sphere. We pro
ve that every finite energy solution resolves\, as time passes\, into a su
perposition of harmonic maps (solitons) and radiation\, settling the solit
on resolution problem for this equation. It was proved in works of Côte\
, and Jia-Kenig\, that such a decomposition holds along a sequence of time
s. We show the resolution holds continuously-in-time via a “no-return”
lemma based on the virial identity. The proof combines a modulation analy
sis of solutions near a multi-soliton configuration with concentration com
pactness techniques. As a byproduct of our analysis we prove that there ar
e no pure multi-solitons in equivariance class k=1 and no elastic collisio
ns between pure multi-solitons in the higher equivariance classes.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Random matrices and heat flow on polynomials\nby Brian H
all (Notre Dame) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nS
everal recent results have demonstrated a “model deformation phenomenon
” in random matrix theory\, in which the limiting eigenvalue distributio
ns of two different random matrix models are\, in certain cases\, related
by push-forward under an explicit\, canonical map of the plane to itself.
The prototype example is the case of the circular and semicircular laws\,
which are related by push-forward under the map z —> 2Re(z). There are b
y now several broad families of examples extending this simple case. \n\nI
will discuss a conjecture\, developed with Ching Wei Ho\, that provides a
finite-N version of the model deformation phenomenon\, at the level of ch
aracteristic polynomials. Specifically\, the conjecture says that applying
the heat operator to the characteristic polynomial of one random matrix g
ives a polynomial whose bulk distribution of zeros resembles that of a dif
ferent random matrix. As an example\, consider applying the heat operator
for time 1/N to the characteristic polynomial of an NxN GUE matrix. We bel
ieve that the zeros of the resulting polynomial will be almost surely asym
ptotically uniform over the unit disk. Thus\, the heat operator can turn t
he semicircular law into the circular law. I will explain the conjecture a
nd describe some rigorous results in this direction.\n

d by Chow and Hamilton in 2004\; they hoped that the corresponding cross c

metric of negative sectional curvature into one of constant negative sect
ional curvature. In this talk\, I will discuss the 'prescribed cross curva

DESCRIPTION:Title: Wave patterns generated by large-amplitude rogue waves and t

r recent work that both fundamental rogue wave solutions (with Peter Mille
r and Liming Ling) and multi-pole soliton solutions (with Robert Buckingha
m) of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation exhibit the same universal
asymptotic behavior in the limit of large order in a shrinking region nea
r their peak amplitude point\, despite the quite different boundary condit
ions these solutions satisfy at infinity. This behavior is described by a
special solution of again the NLS equation that also satisfies ordinary di
fferential equations from the Painlev\\’e-III hierarchy. We review these
results and show that this profile also arises universally from arbitrary
background fields. We then show how rogue waves and solitons of arbitrary
orders can be placed within a common analytical framework in which the "o
rder" becomes a continuous parameter\, allowing one to tune continuously b
etween types of solutions satisfying different boundary conditions. In thi
s framework\, solitons and rogue waves of increasing integer orders altern
ate as the continuous order parameter increases. We show that in a bounded
region of the space-time of size proportional to the order\, these soluti
ons all appear to be the same when the order is large. However\, in the u
nbounded complementary region one sees qualitatively different asymptotic
behavior along different sequences. This is joint work with Peter Miller (

stract\nGiven a desired target distribution and an initial guess of its sa

t they accurately represent the desired distribution? A classical solution
to this problem is to evolve the samples according to Langevin dynamics\,
a stochastic particle method for the Fokker-Planck equation. In today’s
talk\, I will contrast this with a nonlocal\, deterministic particle meth
od inspired by the porous medium equation. Using the Wasserstein gradient
flow structure of the equations and Serfaty’s scheme of Gamma-convergenc
e of gradient flows\, I will show that\, as the number of samples increase
s and the interaction scale goes to zero\, the interacting particle system
indeed converges to a solution of the porous medium equation. I will clos

the training dynamics two-layer neural networks. This is based on joint w

DESCRIPTION:Title: Illposedness for vortex patches of the Euler and alpha-SQG e
quations\nby Xiaoyutao Luo (Duke) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE sem
inar\n\n\nAbstract\nI will talk about joint work with A. Kiselev (Duke) on
patch solutions of the Euler and alpha-SQG equations. It is well-known th
at the vortex patch of the 2D Euler equation is globally well-posed in non
-endpoint Holder spaces. We prove that the Euler vortex patch is ill-posed
at the C^2 endpoint by showing the existence of a patch with C^2 initial
data such that the curvature of the patch boundary becomes infinite instan
taneously. The alpha-SQG equations are a family of active scalar interpola
ting the 2D Euler and SQG equations. In contrast to the Euler case\, we sh
ow that the alpha-SQG patch\, in a suitable regime of regularity\, is ill-
posed in all non-L^2 Sobolev spaces and Holder spaces.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Sharp time asymptotics for the quasi-geostrophic equation an
d near plane waves of reaction-diffusion models\nby Fazel Hadadifard (
University of California\, Riverside) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE sem
inar\n\nLecture held in Linde Hall 310\, Caltech.\n\nAbstract\nThe long-te
rm dynamics of the equations arising in fluid mechanics is a ubiquitous an
d well-studied subject\, and several methods have been developed. In this
talk\, we introduce the scaled variable method of Gallay-Wayne. We expand
the method to cover a wider range of equations/models. \n\nThe method is
then applied to the quasi-geostrophic equation and the Boussinesq system\,
both subject to fractional dissipation. We also present the stability of
the plane wave equations in higher dimensions. The method produces sharp t
ime rates\, the leading order terms as well as sharp asymptotics.\n \nOur
work\, joint with Prof. A. Stefanov\, generalizes the classical works on t
he Navier-Stokes system. Since the Green's functions in the fractional dis
sipation context are not sufficiently decaying at infinity\, the center-s
table manifold construction of Gallay-Wayne appears to be out of reach. In
stead\, we rely on appropriate a priori estimates for the solutions (both
in weighted and unweighted settings) to derive the asymptotic profiles.\n

successful framework for capturing a variety of different physical phenome
na has catalyzed research in many directions at the applied\, computationa
l\, as well as at the theoretical levels. While models formulated with the
classical continuum mechanics theory have brought huge developments in te
chnology and science over the last century\, the new frontier requires tac
kling discontinuous\, singular\, or irregular behavior encountered in many
applications such as deformations and damage of solid bodies\, phase tran
sitions and image processing. To this end\, the study of systems that allo
w low-regularity (possibly discontinuous) solutions becomes the critical c
enter-piece. In this talk I will present basic nonlocal formulations for e
lasticity\, diffusion\, conservation laws\, as well as some geometric aspe
cts for studying curvature for boundaries that lack (classical) C^2 regula

e catenoid is one of the simplest examples of a minimal hypersurface\, nex
t to the hyperplane. In this talk\, we will view the catenoid as a station
ary solution to the hyperbolic vanishing mean curvature flow\, which is th
e hyperbolic analog of the (elliptic) minimal hypersurface equation\, and
study its nonlinear stability under no symmetry assumptions. The main resu
lt\, which is a recent joint work with Jonas Luhrmann and Sohrab Shahshaha
ni\, is that with respect to a "codimension one" set of initial data pertu
rbations of the n-dimensional catenoid\, the corresponding flow asymptotes
to an adequate translation and Lorentz boost of the catenoid for n greate
r than or equal to 5. Note that the codimension one condition is necessary
and sharp in view of the fact that the catenoid is an index 1 minimal hyp
ersurface. \n\nAmong the key challenges of the present problem compared to
the more classical stability problems for nontrivial stationary solutions
are: (1) the quasilinearity of the equation\, (2) the slow (polynomial) d
ecay of the catenoid at infinity\, and (3) the lack of symmetry assumption
s. To address these challenges\, we introduce several new ideas\, such as
a geometric construction of modulated profiles\, smoothing of modulation p
arameters\, and a robust framework for proving decay for the radiation.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The Master Equation in Mean Field Games\nby Mohit Bansil
(UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nA Mean Fie
ld Game is a differential game (in the sense of game theory) where instead
of a finite number of players we have a continuous distribution of (infin
itely) many players\, however we make the simplifying assumption that all
players are identical.\n\nIn this talk we consider the existence and uniqu
eness of Nash Equilibrium in Mean Field Games. We show why the study of Na
sh Equilibrium naturally leads to the study of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation
over the space of measures called the master equation\, whose solutions gi
ve rise to Nash Equilibrium for our game.\n\nFor mean field games there is
n't a general theory of viscosity solutions analogous to Hamilton-Jacobi e
quations in finite dimensions. Motivated by this we revisit the clas-\nsic
al solution theory (as opposed to viscosity solutions) of Hamilton Jacobi
equations and identify a symmetry that extends the well-posedness theory i
nto new regimes. This\nsymmetry also yields results for the master equatio
n in mean field games.\n\nWe will see that there are two natural types of
noise that one can impose in a Mean Field Game\, individual noise and comm
on noise\, which correspond to cases where the noise of each player is ind
ependent and identical respectively. Individual noise has a regularizing e
ffect that is utilized in most well-posedness results for the master equat
ion.\nWe explore well-posedness for the master equation in the case withou
t individual noise\, under a monotonicity condition.\n

tract\nThe hydrodynamic limit aims to derive fluid equations (such\nas the
Euler and Navier-Stokes equations) from kinetic theory (such as the Boltz
mann and Landau equations) in a rigorous manner. This is a key ingredient
for addressing the Hilbert Sixth Problem. As the Knudsen number (which me
asures mean free path) approaches zero\, almost all standard fluid equatio
ns can be derived through proper scaling. Our work presents an unusual hyd
rodynamic limit that shows genuine kinetic effects\, known as the ghost ef
fect. The density and\ntemperature of order are coupled with the velocity
of order which acts like a "ghost" that can't be observed at the fluid l
evel. This suggests that standard fluid mechanics is incomplete in describ
ing many-particle systems even at the continuum regime. This is joint work
with Raffaele Esposito\, Yan Guo and Rossana Marra\, and is mainly based
on preprints https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.09427 and https://arxiv.org/abs/23

DESCRIPTION:Title: The equidistribution of nilsequences\nby James Leng (UCL
A) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nConsider a Nilp
otent Lie group $G$ and a discrete subgroup $\\Gamma$ such that the topolo
gical quotient $G/\\Gamma$ is compact. Certain problems in arithmetic comb
inatorics are concerned with an equidistribution theory on $G/\\Gamma$. Th
is theory studies the behavior of orbits $g^n\\Gamma$ and classification o
f their limit sets in $G/\\Gamma$. \n\nIn 2012\, Green and Tao proved a qu
antitative equidistribution theory on $G/\\Gamma$\, achieving polynomial b
ounds on the rate of equidistribution and with exponent single exponential
in the dimension of $G$. In this talk\, we go over a recent result\, whic
h improves the bounds to have exponent polynomial in the dimension of $G$.
We also discuss implications of this result to arithmetic combinatorics.
A key obstruction that the proof of this result overcomes is "induction on
dimensions"\, which also seem to appear elsewhere in higher order Fourier
analysis over $\\mathbb{Z}/N\\mathbb{Z}$.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Lagrangian solutions to the Porous Media Equation (and frien
ds)\nby Matthew Jacobs (U. Michigan) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE
seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nMany works have been devoted to understanding and p
redicting the time evolution of a growing population of cells (bacterial c
olonies\, tumors\, etc...). At the macroscopic scale\, cell growth is ty
pically modeled through Porous Media type equations that describe the chan
ge in cell density. While these cell growth PDEs have been studied since t
he 70s\, our understanding is far from complete\, particularly in the case
where there are several distinct cell populations.\n\nAn important open q
uestion is whether it is possible for two populations that were separated
at initial time to become mixed during the flow. For instance\, can tumor
cells get mixed into healthy cell regions? \n\nIn this talk\, I will show
that it is possible to construct non-mixing solutions to these equations.
The key is to construct the Lagrangian flow map along the pressure gradi
ent generated by the Porous Media Equation. The main obstruction is the f
act that the pressure gradient is not sufficiently regular to apply any ge
neric theory for Lagrangian flows. To overcome this difficulty\, we devel
op a new argument combining features of the Porous Media Equation with the
quantitative Lagrangian flow theory of Crippa and De Lellis.\n

\nby Andrew Lawrie (MIT) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n\
nAbstract\nI will present joint work with Jacek Jendrej. We consider class
ical scalar fields in dimension 1+1 with a symmetric double-well self-inte
raction potential\, covering\, for example\, the phi-4 model and the sine-
Gordon equation. Such equations admit non-trivial static solutions called
kinks and antikinks. We define a kink cluster to be a solution approaching
\, for large positive times\, a superposition of alternating kinks and ant
ikinks whose velocities converge to zero and mutual distances grow to infi
nity. Our main result is a determination of the leading order asymptotic b
ehavior of any kink cluster. Our results are partially inspired by the not
ion of "parabolic motions" in the Newtonian n-body problem. We explain thi
s analogy and its limitations. We also explain the role of kink clusters a
s universal profiles for the formation/annihilation of multi-kink configur
ations.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: A new conjecture to unify Fourier restriction and Bochner-Ri
esz\nby Ruixiang Zhang (UC Berkeley) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE
seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nThe Fourier restriction c
onjecture and the Bochner-Riesz conjecture ask for Lebesgue space mapping
properties of certain oscillatory integral operators. They both are centra
l in harmonic analysis\, are open in dimensions $\\geq 3$\, and notably ha
ve the same conjectured exponents. In the 1970s\, H\\"{o}rmander asked if
a more general class of operators (known as H\\"{o}rmander type operators)
all satisfy the same $L^p$-boundedness as in the above two conjectures. A
positive answer to H\\"{o}rmander's question would resolve the above two
conjectures and have more applications such as in the manifold setting. Un
fortunately H\\"{o}rmander's question is known to fail in all dimensions $
\\geq 3$ by the work of Bourgain and many others. It continues to fail in
all dimensions $\\geq 3$ even if one adds a ``positive curvature'' assumpt
ion which one does have in restriction and Bochner-Riesz settings. Bourgai
n showed that in dimension $3$ one always has the failure unless a derivat
ive condition is satisfied everywhere. Joint with Shaoming Guo and Hong Wa
ng\, we generalize this condition to arbitrary dimension and call it ``Bou
rgain's condition''. We unify Fourier restriction and Bochner-Riesz by con
jecturing that any H\\"{o}rmander type operator satisfying Bourgain's cond
ition should have the same $L^p$-boundedness as in those two conjectures.
As evidence\, we prove that the failure of Bourgain's condition immediatel
y implies the failure of such an $L^p$-boundedness in every dimension. We
also prove that current techniques on the two conjectures apply equally we
ll in our conjecture and make some progress on our conjecture that consequ
ently improves the two conjectures in higher dimensions. I will talk about
some history and some interesting components in our proof.\n

nI will talk about a recent preprint in which we establish an optimal loca

nts of this result include: (i) Local well-posedness in the Hadamard sense
\, i.e.\, local existence\, uniqueness\, and the first proof of continuous
dependence on the data\, all in low regularity Sobolev spaces\; (ii) Enha
nced uniqueness: A uniqueness result which holds at the level of the Lipsc
hitz norm of the velocity and the $C^{1\,\\frac{1}{2}}$ regularity of the
free surface\; (iii) Stability bounds: We construct a nonlinear functiona
l which measures\, in a suitable sense\, the distance between two solution
s (even when defined on different domains) and we show that this distance
is propagated by the flow\; (iv) Energy estimates: We prove essentially sc
ale invariant energy estimates for solutions\, relying on a newly const
ructed family of refined elliptic estimates\; (v) Continuation criterion:
We give the first proof of a continuation criterion at the same scale as t
he classical Beale-Kato-Majda criterion for the Euler equation on the whol
e space. Roughly speaking\, we show that solutions can be continued as lon
g as the velocity is in $L_T^1W^{1\,\\infty}$ and the free surface is in $
L_T^1C^{1\,\\frac{1}{2}}$\; (vi) A novel proof of the construction of reg
ular solutions. \n \n Our entire approach is in the Eulerian framework and
can be adapted to work in relatively general fluid domains. This is based

than or equal to 4 is already known\, however the 3 dimensional case pres
ents new difficulties due to the loss of a key Strichartz estimate. To ove

the wave maps equation\, and a new argument involving commuting vector fi

y Dominique Maldague (MIT) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLec
ture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nWave packet decomposition allows us to
express functions with restricted frequency support as a superposition of
wave packets (simpler functions which are localized in both space and freq
uency)\, with one "active" wave packet per direction. I will explain the s
ignificance of a new type of inequality called a wave envelope estimate\,
which provides detailed information about the possible overlap patterns of
wave packets that maximize the L^p norm. Wave envelope estimates were fir
st introduced in the work of Guth-Wang-Zhang (GWZ) proving the sharp L^4 s
quare function estimate for the cone in R^3. Guth-Maldague subsequently in
troduced a stopping time algorithm based on the amplitude of the function
compared to its square function which yielded a refined version of the GWZ
wave envelope estimates. Our so-called amplitude-dependent wave envelope
estimate simultaneously implies both sharp decoupling and sharp square fun
ction estimates. Applications include sharp small cap decoupling estimates
for the cone\, new estimates for the size of exceptional sets in the 3D r
estricted projections problem\, and a sharp multiplier-type problem for th
e moment curve.\n

erature is available on the Hele-Shaw or incompressible limit for nonlinea
r degenerate diffusion equations. This problem has attracted a lot of atte
ntion due to its applications to tissue growth and crowd motion modelling
as it constitutes a way to link soft congestion (or compressible) models t
o hard congestion (or incompressible) descriptions. Nevertheless\, little
is known about the rate of convergence of this asymptotic. In this talk\,
I will address the question of estimating the rate in the presence of exte
rnal drifts. In a joint work with Tomasz Dębiec and Benoit Perthame\, we
computed the rate in a negative Sobolev norm for generic bounded potential
s\, while in a work in progress with Alpár Mészáros and Filippo Santamb
rogio\, we provide improved results in the 2-Wasserstein distance which ar
e global in time thanks to the contractivity property that holds for stric

for the barotropic pressure law (hence the porous medium equation) and for
a singular pressure law with density constraints.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Low regularity well-posedness for the generalized surface qu
asi-geostrophic front equation\nby Ovidiu-Neculai Avadanei (Berkeley)
as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAb
stract\nWe consider the well-posedness of the generalized surface quasi-ge
ostrophic (gSQG) front equation. By making use of the null structure of th
e equation\, we carry out a paradifferential normal form analysis in order
to obtain balanced energy estimates\, which allows us to prove the local
well-posedness of the g-SQG front equation in the non-periodic case at a l
ow level of regularity (in\nthe SQG case\, this is only one half of a deri
vative above scaling).\n\nIn addition\, we establish global well-posedness
for small and localized rough initial data\, as well as modified scatteri
ng\, by using the testing by wave packet approach of Ifrim-Tataru.\n\nThis
is joint work with Albert Ai.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: On the regularity of optimal transportation potentials with
discrete measures\nby Antoine Mellet (U. Maryland) as part of UCLA ana
lysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nWe consider
a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem b
etween measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respec
t to the Lebesgue measure\, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure whe
n restricted to balls with radius greater than some $\\delta>0$. Such a fr
amework is very natural in the context of the numerical computations of op
timal maps\, which often involves approximating "nice" measures by sums of
Dirac masses.\n\nWe will present some recent results (collaboration with
P.E. Jabin and M. Molina) which extend the classical regularity theory of
optimal transportation to this framework. In particular\, we establish bot
h Hölder and Sobolev regularity results for Kantorovich potentials up to
some critical length scale depending on $\\delta$.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Magic angles and classically forbidden regions for twisted b
ilayer graphene\nby Michael Hitrik (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and
PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nMagic angles are a t
opic of current interest in condensed matter physics and refer to a remark
able theoretical (Bistritzer--MacDonald\, 2011) and experimental (Jarillo-
Herrero et al\, 2018) discovery: two sheets of graphene twisted by a certa
in (magic) angle display unusual electronic properties\, such as supercond
uctivity. In this talk\, we shall discuss a simple periodic Hamiltonian de
scribing the chiral limit of twisted bilayer graphene (Tarnopolsky-Kruchko
v-Vishwanath\, 2019)\, whose spectral properties are thought to determine
which angles are magical. We show that the corresponding eigenfunctions de
cay exponentially in suitable geometrically determined regions as the angl
e of twisting decreases\, which can be viewed as a form of semiclassical a
nalytic hypoellipticity. This is joint work with Maciej Zworski.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Asymptotics of block Toeplitz determinants with piecewise co
ntinuous symbols\nby Jani Virtanen (U. Reading) as part of UCLA analys
is and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nA Toeplitz mat
rix can be easily defined as a matrix constant along the parallels to the
main diagonal given by the Fourier coefficients of an integrable function
(referred to as the symbol) on the unit circle. The study of the determina
nts of Toeplitz matrices dates back to Szegő\, who described their asympt
otic behavior for sufficiently smooth symbols in 1915 and 1952. The latter
result was generalized to the case of matrix-valued symbols by Widom in t
he 1970s using operator theoretic methods. In the scalar case\, the asympt
otic behavior of Toeplitz determinants with Fisher-Hartwig symbols\, which
allow for zeros\, (integrable) singularities\, discontinuities\, and nonz
ero winding numbers\, was described completely by Deift\, Its\, and Krasov
sky in 2011 using the Riemann-Hilbert approach. In this talk\, I discuss t
he case of matrix-valued symbols that have finitely many discontinuities a
nd some of their applications\, such as the study of entanglement entropy
in quantum spin chain models. The approach is largely based on operator th
eoretic methods\, and it requires a new localization theorem for Toeplitz
determinants and a new method of computing the Fredholm index of Toeplitz
operators with piecewise continuous matrix-valued symbols. Joint work with
Estelle Basor and Torsten Ehrhardt.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Nearly self-similar blowup of the slightly perturbed homogen
eous Landau equation with very soft potentials\nby Jiajie Chen (Couran
t) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\
nAbstract\nWhether the Landau equation can develop a finite time singulari
ty is an important open problem in kinetic equations. In this talk\, we wi
ll first discuss several similarities between the Landau equation and some
incompressible fluids equations. Then we will focus on the slightly pertu
rbed homogeneous Landau equation with very soft potentials\, where we incr
ease the nonlinearity from $ c(f) f$ in the Landau equation to $\\alpha c(
f) f$ with $\\alpha>1$. For $\\alpha > 1 $ and close to $1$\, we establish
finite time nearly self-similar blowup from some smooth non-negative init
ial data\, which can be radially symmetric or non-radially symmetric. The
blowup results are sharp as the homogeneous Landau equation $(\\alpha=1)$
is globally well-posed\, which was recently established by Guillen and Sil
vestre. The proof builds on our previous framework on sharp blowup results
of the De Gregorio model with nearly self-similar singularity to overcome
the diffusion. Our results shed light on potential singularity formation
in the inhomogeneous setting\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Lattice Covering Densities and Additive Combinatorics\nb
y Alexandria Rose (ANU) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLectur
e held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nThe well-known Lattice Covering Problem as
ks for the most optimal way to cover the space $\\mathbb{R}^n$\, $n \\geq
2$\, by using copies of an Euclidean ball centered at points of a given la
ttice. More precisely\, consider a closed Euclidean ball $B$ and a lattice
$L \\subset \\mathbb{R}^d$\, we say that $L$ is a covering lattice for $B
$ if\n$$ \\mathbb{R}^n = L + B \\tag{1}$$\nThe {\\emph{covering density} $
\\displaystyle \\Theta (L)$ of whole space $\\mathbb{R}^n$ is defined as t
he minimal volume of a closed Euclidean Ball $B$ for which (1) holds. Defi
ne\n$$\\Theta_n := \\inf \\left \\{ \\Theta (L): L \\text{ is a lattice
in $\\mathbb{R}^n$ of covolume one} \\right \\} $$\nto be the minimal den
sity of lattice coverings of $\\mathbb{R}^n$. Where the covolume of $L$ is
the volume of its fundamental parallepipeds (sometimes refer as the deter
minant of $L$). Thus the Lattice Covering Problem asks for the best upper
bound for $\\displaystyle \\Theta_n$.\nSo far\, this problem has only been
studied geometrically using Kakeya-type methods to obtain results for con
vex bodies in place of balls. In this talk\, we make a connection between
lattice covering densities and additive combinatorics\, and consider the m
ore general setting of approximate groups and sets with low doubling or hi

n\nby Allen Wu (Oklahoma) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\n
Lecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nThe Intermediate Long Wave equation
(ILW) describes long internal gravity waves in stratified fluids. Kodama\,
Ablowitz and Satsuma discovered the formal complete integrability of ILW
and formulated inverse scattering transform solutions. If made rigorous\,
the inverse scattering method will provide powerful tools for asymptotic a
nalysis of ILW. In this talk\, I will present some recent results on the I
LW direct scattering problem. In particular\, a Lax pair formulation is cl
arified\, and the spectral theory of the Lax operators can be studied. Exi
stence and uniqueness of scattering states are established for small inter
action potential. The scattering matrix can then be constructed from the s
cattering states. The solution is related to the theory of analytic functi
ons on a strip. This is joint work with Peter Perry.\n

is whether solutions are unique in the Leray class\, i.e.\, the weak solut
ions that dissipate energy. There is compelling numerical evidence due to
Jia and Sverak of a reflection symmetry-breaking phenomenon leading to non
-uniquness. In this talk we propose a new non-uniqueness scenario based on
breaking of the (discrete) scaling symmetry\, demonstrated in a shell mod
el of the Navier-Stokes equations first formulated by Obukhov. We construc
t data in a critical space that gives rise to distinct Leray solutions whi
ch are approximately discretely self-similar and ``smooth'' (in the sense
of exponentially decaying energy spectrum) for positive times.\n

on of an interface between two fluids of distinct densities in a porous me
dium that sits atop an impermeable layer\, such as oil and water in an aqu

udes considerably more general fluid interface geometries than even existi
ng whole plane results and allows the interface to touch the bottom. The
latter applies to the important scenario of the heavier fluid invading a r
egion occupied by the lighter fluid along the impermeable layer. We also
show that finite time singularities do arise in this setting\, including f

s for the height\, slope\, and potential energy of the fluid interface.\n

UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nIn
this talk\, we present recent results on the regularity of first-order mea
n field games systems. We focus on systems where the initial density is a
compactly supported function on the real line. Our results show that the s
olution is smooth in regions where the density is strictly positive and th
at the density itself is globally continuous. Additionally\, the speed of
propagation is determined\n\nby the behavior of the cost function for smal
l densities. When the coupling\nis entropic\, we demonstrate that the supp
ort of the density propagates with\ninfinite speed. On the other hand\, wh
en f(m) = m^θ with θ > 0\, we prove\nthat the speed of propagation is fi
nite. In this case\, we establish that under\na natural non-degeneracy ass
umption\, the free boundary is strictly convex and\nenjoys C^{1\,1} regula
rity. We also establish sharp estimates on the speed of sup-\nport propaga
tion and the rate of long time decay for the density. Our methods are base
d on the analysis of an elliptic equation satisfied by the flow of optimal
trajectories. The results also apply to mean field planning problems\, ch

DESCRIPTION:Title: Mean Field Limit for Congestion Dynamics in One Dimension\nby Jeremy Wu (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture
held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, I will present recent joint
work with Inwon Kim and Antoine Mellet in which we derive a model for cong
ested transport (a PDE at a macroscopic scale) from particle dynamics (a s
ystem of ODEs at the microscopic scale). Such PDEs appear very naturally i
n the description of crowd motion\, tumour growth\, and general aggregatio
n phenomena. We begin with a system where the particle trajectories evolve
according to a gradient flow constrained to some finite distance of separ
ation from each other. This constraint leads to a Lagrange multiplier whic
h\, in the mean field limit (infinite number of particles)\, generates a p
ressure variable to enforce the hard-congestion constraint. Our results ar
e confined to one spatial dimension wherein we rely on both the Eulerian a
nd Lagrangian perspectives for the continuum limit.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Machine Learning in PDE: Discovering new\, unstable solution
s\nby Javier Gomez-Serrano (Brown) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE se
minar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk I will explain
several recent results combining machine learning techniques and more tra
ditional mathematics. The overarching theme is the interplay between moder
n (ML) and classical methods in order to discover new solutions of certain
PDE with low or very low numerical error. I will also outline how to turn
the numerical approximate solutions into a rigorous proof via computer-as
sisted methods\, leading in some cases to singularity formation\, or to th
e existence of certain special solutions (e.g. traveling waves). In partic
ular\, unstable solutions are now amenable to be discovered. While the mot
ivation is originally coming from fluid mechanics' equations such as Euler
or Navier-Stokes some of the methods can be tuned to other PDE.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The delocalization conjecture for random band matrices\n
by Jun Yin (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held
in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, we present a new proof of the del
ocalization conjecture for random band matrices. The conjecture asserts th
at for an $N\\times N$ random matrix with bandwidth $W$\, the eigenvectors
in the bulk of the spectrum are delocalized provided that $W \\gg N^{1/2}
$. Moreover\, in this regime\, the eigenvalue distribution aligns with tha
t of Gaussian random ensembles (i.e.\, GOE or GUE). Our proof employs a no
vel loop hierarchy method and leverages the sum-zero property\, a concept
that was instrumental in the previous work on high-dimensional random matr
ices. \n\nThis work is a joint collaboration with H.T. Yau.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Instantaneous continuous loss of regularity for the SQG equa

nalysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nThe issue
of loss of regularity of unique solutions to the 3D incompressible Euler
equations is an important open question of fluid mechanics\, and is closel
y related to the emergence of turbulence. We will discuss recent results r
egarding loss of regularity of solutions of the 2D and 3D Euler equations\
, and of the surface quasi-geostrophic equations (SQG)\, which is a well-e
stablished 2D model equation of the 3D Euler equations. We will discuss a
result of continuous-in-time loss of Sobolev regularity of solutions to th
e SQG equation. Namely\, given $s\\in (3/2\,2)$ and $\\varepsilon >0$\, w
e will describe a construction of a compactly supported initial data $\\th
eta_0$ such that $\\| \\theta_0 \\|_{H^s}\\leq \\varepsilon$ and there exi
st $T>0$\, $c>0$ and a local-in-time solution $\\theta$ of the SQG equatio
n such that $ \\theta (\\cdot \,t )$ belongs to ${H^{s/(1+ct)}}$ and does
not belong to any other ${H^\\beta }$\, where $\\beta > s/(1+ct)$. Moreove
r $\\theta$ is continuous and differentiable on $\\R^2\\times [0\,T]$\, an
d is unique among all solutions with initial condition $\\theta_0$ which b
elong to $C([0\,T]\;H^{1+\\alpha })$ for any $\\alpha >0$.\nThis is the fi
rst result of this kind in incompressible fluid mechanics. It is also the
first ill-posedness result in the supercritical regime which has compact s

the outflow boundary in the zero-viscosity limit. We show that in a genera

equations by Inviscid limits from Navier-Stokes (joint with USC)\nby
Moon-Jin Kang (KAIST) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture
held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nIn the realm of mathematical fluid dynamics\
, a formidable challenge lies in establishing inviscid limits from the Nav
ier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations\, wherein physically admissibl
e solutions can be discerned. The pursuit of solving this intricate proble
m\, particularly concerning singular solutions\, persists in both compress
ible and incompressible scenarios. For the compressible flows\, the well-p
osedness of Cauchy problem for compressible Euler system from inviscid lim
it of Navier-Stokes remains is a major open problem even within mono-dimen
sional framework with small BV initial data. In this talk\, I will present
a resolution of this problem in the 1D isentropic case. We will show the
global well-posedness of entropy solutions with small BV initial data with
in the broader class of inviscid limits of the associated Navier-Stokes eq
uations with locally bounded energy initial values. The proof is based on
the three main methodologies: the modified front tracking algorithm\; the
a-contraction with shifts\; the method of compensated compactness. This is

DESCRIPTION:Title: What is a mathematical theory of turbulence? (joint with USC
)\nby Jacob Bedrossian (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar
\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nStatistical theories of turbulen
ce are of fundamental importance in many applications from engineering to
weather and climate prediction. However\, there is currently no predictive
theory which starts only from the 2D or 3D Navier-Stokes equations and ac
curately matches the observations\, and certainly nothing of this kind whi
ch is mathematically rigorous. In this talk I will explain how to phrase t
he basic predictions of the statistical theories of turbulence such as K41
theory as concise\, mathematically rigorous conjectures for statistically
stationary solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations subjected to stochast
ic forcing in a periodic box. These remain far out of reach\, so I will th
en discuss some work done by my collaborators on I on different related pr
oblems with the goal of building up tools and understanding related phenom
ena in simpler contexts. I will discuss recent work with Alex Blumenthal\,
Keagan Callis and Kyle Liss on energy dissipation in degenerately damped
nonlinear SDEs and older work with Alex Blumenthal\, and Sam Punshon-Smith
on Batchelor-regime passive scalar turbulence (where we *can* build a mat
hematically rigorous theory that matches experiments and observations of t
emperature and salinity variations in the ocean).\n

brittle elastic material is proportional to the length of the crack. Unde
rstanding minimizers of the energy requires unraveling the complex interpl
ay of bulk (elastic) and surface (crack) energies in the vectorial setting
of linear elasticity. We discuss a compactness result based on concentrat
ion-compactness and existence of strong solutions. Further\, in dimension
2\, we prove that the crack of a minimizer is given by a Hölder surface
outside of a singular set of points with dimension strictly less than 1\,
analogous to results for the scalar-valued Mumford-Shah functional.\n

in the plane is the following. Let f be a function defined on a subset A

as Lebesgue measure zero. Choquet claimed that this was a full characteriz

, there is a counterexample. We disprove this by showing that the correct
characterization\, in R^d\, is integral_{0}^1 ω(r)^{−1/d} = ∞. We obt

DESCRIPTION:Title: The Role of Dissipation in the Existence of Time-Periodic So
lutions for PDE Systems\nby Boris Muha (University of Zagreb) as part
of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 5203.\n\nAbstract\n
It is well known that in many conservative mechanical systems\, resonance
may occur: for certain time-periodic forces\, the system’s response beco
mes unbounded. Classical examples of partial differential equations exhibi
ting this behavior include the wave equation and the equations of lineariz
ed elasticity (the Lamé system). By contrast\, resonance does not arise i
n strongly dissipative systems\, such as those governed by the heat equati
on. In such cases\, one can show that for every time-periodic right-hand s
ide\, there exists a unique time-periodic solution.\n\nIn this lecture\, w
e address the question: how strong must dissipation be to prevent resonanc
e? Our focus will be on periodic solutions of the so-called heat–wave sy
stem\, in which the wave equation is coupled with the heat equation throug
h a common boundary. Dissipation is present only in the heat component\, a
nd the model can be viewed as a simplified setting for fluid–structure i
nteraction. We show that in certain geometric configurations\, the system
admits a unique time-periodic solution for each time-periodic forcing term
. The proof requires additional regularity of the right-hand side compared
with the Cauchy problem\, but we demonstrate that resonance is not a cons
equence of low-regularity forcing.\n\nFinally\, we discuss the open proble
m of whether this result extends to arbitrary geometries or whether certai
n configurations could still lead to resonance. This is joint work with St
anislav Mosný\, S. Schwarzacher\, and J. Webster\n

(Caltech) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nLecture held in MS 5
203.\n\nAbstract\nThe nonuniqueness of Leray--Hopf solutions to the unforc
ed incompressible 3D Navier--Stokes equations is one of the central open p
roblems in mathematical fluid dynamics. Inspired by earlier works by Jia-S
verak\, Guillod-Sverak\, and Albritton-Brue-Colombo\, we construct a Leray
--Hopf solution in the self-similar setting and then establish the existen
ce of a second solution by analyzing the stability of the linearized opera
tor around this profile\, showing that it corresponds to an unstable pertu
rbation. To achieve this\, we develop an innovative numerical method that
computes candidate solutions with high precision and propose a framework f
or rigorously establishing exact solutions in a neighborhood of these cand
idates. A key step is to decompose the linearized operator into a coercive
part plus a compact perturbation\, inspired by the works of Chen-Hou\, wh
ich is further approximated by a finite-rank operator up to a small error.
The invertibility of the linearized operator restricted to the image of t
his finite-rank approximation is then rigorously verified using computer-a
ssisted proofs.\n

nWe prove that the Fisher information is monotone decreasing in time along
solutions of the space-homogeneous Boltzmann equation for a large class o
f collision kernels covering all classical interactions derived from syste
ms of particles. For general collision kernels\, a sufficient condition fo
r the monotonicity of the Fisher information along the flow is related to
the best constant for an integro-differential inequality for functions on
the sphere\, which belongs in the family of the Log-Sobolev inequalities.
As a consequence\, we establish the existence of global smooth solutions t
o the space-homogeneous Boltzmann equation in the main situation of intere
st where this was not known\, namely the regime of very soft potentials. T
his is opening the path to the completion of both the classical program of
qualitative study of space-homogeneous Boltzmann equation\, initiated by
Carleman\, and the program of using the Fisher information in the study of
the Boltzmann equation\, initiated by McKean. From the proofs and discuss
ion emerges a strengthened picture of the links between kinetic theory\, i

DESCRIPTION:Title: Furstenberg estimate for sticky sets of tubes in three dimen
sions\nby Dimitrii Zakharov (MIT) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE sem
inar\n\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nRecently\, there have been t
wo major breakthroughs in geometric measure theory. In 2023\, Ren and Wang
resolved the Furstenberg estimate in the plane. Their result answers the
following question: take a t-dimensional set of lines in the plane and put
an s-dimensional set of points on each line\, what is the smallest dimens
ion of the union of these sets? In 2025\, Wang and Zahl resolved the three
dimensional case of the Kakeya conjecture. Namely\, they showed that a 2-
dimensional family of lines in R^3 which satisfy a certain non-concentrati
on assumption must cover a set of full Hausdorff dimension. Both proofs pr
oceed by reducing the problem to an important special case where tubes are
"sticky" (aka almost AD-regular). The sticky cases of these two problems
were established in earlier works by Orponen-Shmerkin-Wang and Wang-Zahl\,
respectively.\nIn 2024\, Wang and Wu posed a conjecture about incidences
of tubes in R^3 which is a common generalization to the Kakeya and Fursten
berg problems. They moreover showed that a sufficiently strong version of
their conjecture suffices to prove the Restriction conjecture. \nWe resolv
e the sticky case of their conjecture. Our overall approach is similar to
the one taken by Wang and Zahl in their 2022 proof of the sticky case of t
he Kakeya conjecture in R^3\, which follows the strategy proposed by Katz
and Tao. However\, several new ideas are required to overcome new difficul
ties in the Furstenberg setting and\, in particular\, when specialized bac
k to the case of sticky Kakeya in R^3\, our proof deviates significantly f
rom Wang and Zahl's. We hope that our techniques will be applicable more w
idely to "sticky" cases of other problems.\nJoint work with Hong Wang.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Bourgain’s condition\, sticky Kakeya\, and new examples\nby Arian Nadjimzadah (UCLA) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\
nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nIn the 1970s\, Hörmander proposed
a generalization of the Fourier restriction conjecture to a much broader c
lass of oscillatory integral operators. In 1991\, Bourgain showed that Hö
rmander’s conjecture fails for generic operators. In 2023\, Guo\, Wang\,
and Zhang introduced the Hörmander dichotomy conjecture as a way to patc
h the original conjecture: an operator satisfies the bounds in the restric
tion conjecture if and only if it satisfies what they call Bourgain’s co
ndition. Just as classical Kakeya sets underlie the restriction conjecture
\, certain Kakeya sets of curves underlie the Hörmander dichotomy conject
ure. \n\nBuilding on the program which culminated in Wang and Zahl’s res
olution of the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions\, we introduce a stic
ky Kakeya conjecture for curves corresponding to operators satisfying Bour
gain’s condition. We reduce our conjecture to the classical sticky Kakey
a conjecture in all dimensions\, in particular proving it in dimension 3.
This relies on our new characterization of Bourgain’s condition based on
the structure of thin curved tubes in a thick curved tube. We also provid
e examples which show the characterization is essentially sharp\, in parti
cular providing the first operators satisfying Bourgain’s condition for
which there is no diffeomorphism taking the characteristic curves to lines
. This makes a “general to sticky” reduction in the spirit of Wang and
Zahl difficult.\n

(NYU) as part of UCLA analysis and PDE seminar\n\nInteractive livestream:
https://ucla.zoom.us/j/9264073849\nLecture held in MS 6627.\n\nAbstract\nT
he Landau equation is one of the main equations in plasma physics. Like th
e Boltzmann equation (from where it arises as a limit) the Landau equation
models the distribution of particle states by accounting both for transpo
rt effects and particle collisions. The presence of a quadratic nonlineari
ty led to the reasonable question of the formation of finite time blow up.
In work with Luis Silvestre we find that the Fisher information is a mono
tone quantity for the flow\, a fact of intrinsic interest but which also a
llows us to rule out singularities. This followed from a new "lifting" pro
cedure relating the collisional integral in the PDE to linear equations in
twice the number of variables. The linear equations are in fact quite sim
ple -- they are given by the heat equation on families of two-dimensional
spheres foliating six dimensional Euclidean space. The convexity of the Fi
sher information functional as well as the symmetries of the equation play
an important role in the proof\, as well as a new functional inequality c
losely related to the log-Sobolev inequality on the sphere.\n
