| Topic: | Asymptotic intersection numbers and restricted volumes |
| Presenter: | Mihnea Popa, Harvard University |
| Date: | Tuesday, February 10, 2004, Time: 4:30 p.m., Location: Fine Hall 322 |
| Abstract: | I will describe work (partly in progress) on defining asymptotic intersection numbers of big (or pseudoeffective) line bundles on smooth projective varieties. Intuition is provided by intersecting with the positive part of a Zariski decomposition in case it exists. The technical tool is a notion of volume for restrictions of linear series. One shows that the asymptotic intersection numbers and the restricted volumes define continuous functions on the big cone of the ambient variety, and obtain an interesting decomposition of this cone given by their zero-locus. This is joint work with Ein, Lazarsfeld, Mustata and Nakamaye. |

| Topic: | Flow-line geometries and Gaussian loop ensembles |
| Presenter: | Scott Sheffield, Microsoft Research |
| Date: | Tuesday, February 10, 2004, Time: 4:30 p.m., Location: Jadwin A06 |
| Abstract: | Given a real function h on the complex plane, consider the flow lines of a complex vector field of the form e^{i(h+c)}, with c in [0, 2pi). If h is constant, these paths are the straight lines of Euclidean geometry. If h is harmonic, they are the image of Euclidean lines under a conformal map. If h is a well-behaved function with non-zero Laplacian, the flow lines are the rays of a sort of "twisted geometry" that is still reasonably tame (parallel lines do not intersect, non-parallel lines intersect at most once, triangle angles sum to 180 degrees, etc.) If, however, h is a constant C times the Gaussian free field the story is very different. Rays circle and "bounce off" themselves, 'parallel rays' converge, and non-parallel rays have multiple intersections. Individual rays look locally like Schramm-Loewner evolution with a parameter kappa that depends on C. In fact, the rays determine the boundaries of the Gaussian loop ensembles, GLE_{kappa}, which we conjecture to be the scaling limits of the O(n) loop models and other two-dimensional loop ensembles from statistical physics. |

| Presenter: | Scott Sheffield, Microsoft Research |

| Abstract: | We classify the ergodic Gibbs measures on the space of domino tilings of the plane. These measures are indexed by the asymptotic slopes of the corresponding height functions. Our proof uses a technique called "cluster swapping" which generalizes to other random surface models (e.g., square ice, anharmonic crystals, linear solid-on-solid models). |

| Presenter: | Martin Burger, University of California, Los Angeles and Johannes Kepler University |
| Date: | Monday, February 16, 2004, Time: 4:00 p.m., Location: Fine Hall 214 |
| Abstract: | The subject of this talk is the solution of mathematical problems related to the design of classical semiconductor and novel nano-scale devices. For the first class, we present optimization problems related to the drift-diffusion model, whose solution allows to improve the characteristics of currently produced devices. In particular, we discuss a novel design approach recently introduced in collaboration with Rene Pinnau (TU Darmstadt), which allows to optimize a device with a computational effort compareable to three direct simulations. For nano-scale devices, which are still in a pre-technological phase, we discuss some mathematical models of self-organized growth by elastic relaxation and surface diffusion, and their numerical solution, which might be used for design tasks in the future. |

| Presenter: | Thomas Chen, Courant Institute |
| Date: | Tuesday, February 17, 2004, Time: 4:30 p.m., Location: Jadwin A06 |
| Abstract: | We prove lower bounds on the localization length of eigenfunctions in the three-dimensional Anderson model at weak disorders, which are similar to those obtained by Shubin, Schlag and Wolff for dimensions one and two. In addition, we show that the macroscopic limit of the corresponding lattice random Schr\"odinger dynamics is governed by the linear Boltzmann equations. The proof comprises an extension of methods due to Erdoes and Yau. |

| Abstract: | Gromov hyperbolic groups generalize fundamental groups of closed negatively curved manifolds. Bounded cohomology, due to B. E. Johnson, is defined as the usual (singular or bar-construction) cohomology with the additional boundedness assumption on cochains. I will remind both definitions and will discuss the construction of homological bicombings on hyperbolic graphs. |

| Topic: | Testable New Theory about Early-Universe Density Fluctuations and Origins of Cosmic Structure, with Focus on Mathematical-Probability and Computational Aspects |
| Presenter: | Erik H. VanMarcke, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Princeton University |
| Date: | Monday, February 23, 2004, Time: 4:00 p.m., Location: Fine Hall 214 |
| Abstract: | The talk will summarize the main findings, predictions and interdisciplinary research opportunities stemming from a new probabilistic model of how complex patterns of extreme density fluctuations may have emerged from the inflation phase of the Big Bang. Based on quantum-physical principles and requiring a minimum number of (observationally-accessible) parameters, the "embryonic inflation model" yields a coherent set of testable hypotheses about the formation, evolution and composition of galaxies, stars and planets. Implying a robust (and testable, hence falsifiable) alternative to the dual paradigm of spatially-uniform light-element primordial nucleosynthesis and stellar "recycling" of matter as the sole mechanism of heavy-element production, it integrates astrophysical and planetary sciences with cosmology and galaxy formation in a coherent evolutionary framework. Overall cosmic flatness, an accelerating component, dark matter and dark energy all fit, in quantifiable and testable ways, into the framework of the theory. (Prof. VanMarcke's book on the subject, Quantum Origins of Cosmic Structure, was published in Nov. 1997, before the observation-based discovery of the "accelerating universe", which fits the theory.) |

| Presenter: | George Papanicolaou, Department of Mathematics, Stanford University |
| Date: | Monday, March 8, 2004, Time: 8:00 p.m., Location: A02 McDonnell Hall |
| Abstract: | Signals received by an array, time reversed and re-emitted into the environment will pack-propagate to the vicinity of the sources that produced them. It is remarkable that the focusing resolution in time reversal is much better in a strongly scattering medium than in a homogeneous one, assuming dissipation is negligible. This interesting phenomenon has many surprising applications in imaging and communications through clutter. I will describe time reversal and its properties, explain mathematically how super-resolution occurs in random media and introduce some imaging methods that deal effectively with clutter. I will also describe how time reversal can be used in communications. |

| Topic: | Upper bounds on coarsening rates |
| Presenter: | Robert Kohn, Courant Institute of Mathematics, New York University |
| Date: | Monday, March 29, 2004, Time: 4:00 p.m., Location: Fine Hall 214 |
| Abstract: | I will discuss surface-energy-driven coarsening of two-phase microstructures. Such coarsening is observed in many physical systems; two basic examples are motion by surface diffusion and Mullins-Sekerka (evaporation-condensation) dynamics. Experiments and simulations suggest that solutions are in some sense statistically self-similar. There is, however, virtually nothing known with mathematical rigor. I will briefly introduce this topic, then present recent joint work with Felix Otto (Comm. Math. Phys. 2002). Our main accomplishment is an upper bound on the coarsening rate, consistent with the conjectured self-similar behavior. Our work is also interesting for its viewpoint, which is new and potentially applicable to many other problems. I will close with one such application, to epitaxial growth -- joint work with Xiaodong Yan (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 2003). |

| Presenter: | H. Tasaki, Gakushuin University |
| Date: | Tuesday, March 30, 2004, Time: 4:30 p.m., Location: Jadwin A06 |
| Abstract: | It is believed that strong ferromagnetic order in some solids is generated by a subtle interplay between quantum many-body effects and the spin-independent Coulomb interactions between electrons. I will describe our constructive approach to ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model, which is a standard idealized model for strongly interacting electrons in a solid. I present nonsingular models of itinerant electrons with only spin-independent interactions where the low energy behavior is proved to be that of a ``healthy'' ferromagnetic insulator. I will also discuss some open problems and conjectures regarding metallic ferromagnetism. |

| Topic: | Vorticity and Wave Confinement A Rotationally Invariant Limiter Approach to Modeling Small Scales |
| Presenter: | John Steinhoff, University of Tennessee Space Institute |
| Date: | Monday, April 12, 2004, Time: 4:00 p.m., Location: Fine Hall 214 |
| Abstract: | A new computational method, Vorticity/Wave Confinement, (V/WC), is described. V/WC has been shown to efficiently treat thin features in complex fluid flow and time domain wave equation problems involving vortices and acoustic pulses. The method allows them to be propagated over arbitrarily long distances with no spreading due to numerical errors. It has also been shown to be effective in representing boundary layers on surfaces as thin vortical layers “immersed” in uniform Cartesian grids. We define these thin vortical or wave regions as “features.” Outside these features, where the flow is irrotational or the wave amplitude vanishes, the method automatically reduces to a conventional finite difference approximation to the correct continuum partial differential equation (pde). The features are treated as a type of weak solution and, within the features, a nonlinear difference equation, as opposed to finite difference approximation, is solved that does not necessarily represent a Taylor expansion discretization of a simple pde. The approach is similar to artificial compression and shock capturing schemes, where conservation laws are satisfied across discontinuities. For propagating features, the result of this conservation is that integral quantities such as total momentum and amplitude, and centroid motion are accurately computed. Effectively, the features are treated as multi-dimensional nonlinear discrete solitary waves that “live” on the computational lattice. These obey a “confinement” relation that is a generalization to multiple dimensions of 1-D discontinuity capturing schemes. A major point is that the method involves a rotationally invariant limiter – a single limiter that is a function of rotationally invariant variables. This is in contrast to conventional discontinuity capturing schemes which may involve a concatenation of separate 1-D limiters, each a function of variables along each axis. Results will be shown for convection of thin convecting vortex filaments, flow over complex surfaces “immersed” in uniform grids, and thin acoustic pulses scattering from complex surfaces. |
