Singularities in geophysical fluid dynamics through Monge-Ampère geometry
Roberto D'Onofrio (Università Bicocca and University of Surrey)
Abstract: The semigeostrophic equations are a mathematical model representing atmospheric motion on a subcontinental scale. Their remarkable mathematical features enable the equations to model singular behaviours like weather fronts. This talk presents a new approach to classifying these singular structures using the geometry of Monge-Ampère equations.
In the geometrical view, solutions are understood as Lagrangian submanifolds of a suitably defined phase space equipped with a pseudo-Riemannian metric. We show the interplay between solution singularities, elliptic-hyperbolic transitions of the Monge-Ampère operator, and the degeneracies of the metric on a few examples

BIMSA Integrable Systems Seminar
Series comments: The aim is to bring together experts in integrable systems and related areas of theoretical and mathematical physics and mathematics. There will be research presentations and overview talks.
Audience: Graduate students and researchers interested in integrable systems and related mathematical structures, such as symplectic and Poisson geometry and representation theory.
The zoom link will be distributed by mail, so please join the mailing list if you are interested in attending the seminar.
