analisi matematica

We describe a new approach, mostly based on adjoint and coupling methods, in order to give robust decay and smoothing estimates for a large class of Fokker-Planck equations, that include nonlocal and/or hypoelliptic diffusions. The purpose is to use structure conditions on the drift-diffusion terms, doubling variables and possibly time scaling, to avoid the explicit knowledge of fundamental solutions or functional inequalities.

seminario on line • collegamento al meeting

analisi matematica

This lecture deals with evolution problem for the 1-Laplacian with mixed boundary conditions on bounded open sets. We prove existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for square-integrable data means of the theory of maximal monotone operator. We also see that if the flux on the boundary is 1 (that is, the maximum possible) then these strong solutions can be seen as the large solutions introduced in [Journal Functional Analysis 262 (2012), 1566–1602 ]. We give explicit examples of solutions. Joint work with N. Igbida and J. Toledo

Nonlinear Diffusion Equations -An Overview.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

I present an overview of the topic of nonlinear diffusion equations in divergence form, with a special focus on equations exhibiting double nonlinearity. We acquaint ourselves with various equations, their applications and the mathematically relevant questions such as the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions. I also present some recent results concerning strongly anisotropic diffusion equations where tools from regularity theory also play a central role in the proof of the existence of solutions to a suitably formulated Cauchy-Dirichlet problem.

The Gauss curvature flow for hydrophilic capillary hypersurface

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The classical Gauss curvature flow was introduced by Firey in 1974 as an idealized model for the abrasion of convex stones under random collisions on a beach. In 1985, Kai-Seng Chou proved that convex hypersurfaces contract to a point in finite time under this flow. Later, in 1999, Ben Andrews showed that in two dimensions the rescaled flow converges to a round sphere. Subsequent works by Ben Andrews, Bennett Chow, Pengfei Guan, Lei Ni, and Brendle-Choi-Daskalopoulos established analogous convergence results in higher dimensions, as well as for the power Gauss curvature flow. In this talk, based on joint work with Xinqun Mei and Guofang Wang, we present convergence results for capillary variants of the Gauss curvature flow and power Gauss curvature flow under hydrophilic case.

Extracting subcomplexes on Carnot groups

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Differential complexes are fundamental tools in geometry and analysis, encoding geometric structures through differential operators and cohomological invariants. In subRiemannian geometry, the classical de Rham complex is often replaced by more intrinsic subcomplexes, such as the Rumin complex, which better reflect the underlying graded structure. In this talk, I will discuss the problem of extracting differential subcomplexes adapted to Carnot groups and introduce a new family of complexes, called spectral complexes, arising from spectral sequence methods. I will present the construction of these complexes and outline some applications.

On the propagation of isotropic Sobolev singularities

The aim of this talk is to recall the basics of isotropic pseudodifferential calculus and, consequently, to examine the propagation of isotropic Sobolev (micro)singularities for an evolution problem whose generator is given by the Weyl quantization of a complex quadratic form on phase space. This talk is based on joint work with Marcello Malagutti and Alberto Parmeggiani.

On the regularity of the solutions to variational problems with (p, q) growth conditions

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We present a Lipschitz regularity result for a priori bounded minimizers of integral functionals of the form \int_Ω f(x, Du(x)) dx where Ω is a bounded open set in R^n, n ≥ 2. The main feature of the non autonomous energy density f(x, ξ) under consideration is that it satisfies (p, q)-growth condition as a function of the ξ variable and possesses a suitable Sobolev regularity as a function of the x variable. The result, contained in [1], is obtained under a sharp bound on the gap between the growth and the ellipticity exponent. Moreover, we present an higher differentiability result, contained in [2], for bounded solutions to obstacle problem with non standard growth whose energy densities explicitly depend on the minimizer u, under a suitable Sobolev regularity on the obstacle function.

Mean-Field Sparse Optimal Control of Systems with Additive White Noise

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We analyze the problem of controlling a multiagent system with additive white noise through parsimonious interventions on a selected subset of the agents (leaders). For such a controlled system with an SDE constraint, we introduce a rigorous limit process toward an infinite dimensional optimal control problem constrained by the coupling of a system of ODEs for the leaders with a McKean--Vlasov type of SDE, governing the dynamics of the prototypical follower. The latter is, under some assumptions on the distribution of the initial data, equivalent with a (nonlinear parabolic) PDE-ODE system. The derivation of the limit mean-field optimal control problem is achieved by linking the mean-field limit of the governing equations together with the Gamma-limit of the cost functionals for the finite-dimensional problems.

Nonlocal diffusion and blow-up phenomena

Weyl law for the exponentially small singular values of the d-bar operator

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We study the exponentially small singular values of the semiclassical d-bar operator on an exponentially weighted L^2 space on a two-dimensional torus. We will assume that the Laplacian of the exponential weight changes sign along a curve. We will introduce the notion of upper and lower bound weights which give together with the orthogonal Bergman projection precise upper and lower bounds on the number of small singular values. Solving a free boundary value problem we obtain optimal weights which yield Weyl asymptotics for the counting function of exponentially small singular values. We also provide a precise description of the leading term of the Weyl asymptotics in the regime of small exponential decay rates of the singular values. This talk is based on joint work with J. Söstrand and M. Hitrik.

Meyers exponent rules the first-order approach to second-order elliptic boundary value problems

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The first-order approach to boundary value problems for second-order elliptic equations in divergence form with transversally independent complex coefficients in the upper half-space rewrites the equation algebraically as a first-order system, much like how harmonic functions in the plane relate to the Cauchy–Riemann system in complex analysis. It hinges on global Lp-bounds for some p > 2 for the resolvent of a perturbed Dirac-type operator acting on the boundary. At the same time, gradients of local weak solutions to such equations exhibit higher integrability for some p > 2, expressed in terms of weak reverse Holder estimates. We show that the optimal exponents for both properties coincide. Our proof relies on a simple but seemingly overlooked connection with operator-valued Fourier multipliers in the tangential direction.

Strong degeneracy and regularity: insights into elliptic and parabolic problems

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The aim of this seminar is to present regularity results for the gradient of solutions to some classes of strongly singular or degenerate elliptic and parabolic problems. The elliptic problem under consideration arises as the Euler-Lagrange equation of a variational integral. The energy density associated with this integral satisfies standard p-growth and p-ellipticity conditions, for p>1, with respect to the gradient variable, but only outside a ball centered at the origin. As for the parabolic problems in question, a motivation for studying them stems from gas filtration models taking into account the initial pressure gradient. The presentation will mainly focus on the higher differentiability of solutions, both of integer and fractional order. This talk is based on joint work with Fabian Bäuerlein, Antonio Giuseppe Grimaldi and Antonia Passarelli di Napoli.

Liouville-type results for viscosity solutions to the false mean curvature equation

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk, we revisit some classical Liouville-type results in half spaces for uniformly elliptic equations. We extend these results to the nonuniformly elliptic equations known as false mean curvature equations. The regularity theory of locally Lipschitz viscosity solutions will also be addressed. This is a joint work with Jefferson Abrantes (UFCG) and Sergio Monari (USP-SC).

On a long standing conjecture: positive Liouville Theorem for hypoelliptic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The linear second order partial differential operator in R^n L = div (A D ) + < B x, D>, where A and B are n x n matrices with constant real entries with A non-negative definite, is usually called the finite dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator related to the pair (A, B). This possibly degenerate operator is hypoelliptic if and only if rank [ Q, BQ, .... B^{n-1} Q] = n, being Q the square root of A. This condition, in fact, is equivalent to the celebrated Hormander rank condition for L. In 2004 Priola and Zabczyk proved the following Liouville-type Theorem: if L is hypoelliptic, every bounded solution to Lu = 0 in R^n is constant if and only if (*) each eigenvalue of B has real part less than or equal to zero. This remarkable result raised the following problem, which is still not completely solved today. (PB) Suppose L hypoelliptic and assume condition (*) is satisfied. Then, is it true that every non-negative solution to Lu=0 in R^n is constant? Here, together with a survey on the state of the art about this problem, we present some recent new results obtained in collaboration with Alessia E. Kogoj and Giulio Tralli.

Semigroups generated by first order differential operators

This talk concerns the operator semigroups generated by a (possibly singular) linear first order complete differential operator defined on an interval of the real line. We give a characterization of the operators that generate a semigroup or a group in $L^p$ spaces or in spaces of continuous functions. These results are applied to second order operators.

Improved moduli of continuity for the two-phase degenerate Stefan problem

We substantially improve in two scenarios the current state-of-the-art modulus of continuity for weak solutions to the $N-$dimensional, two-phase Stefan problem featuring a $p-$degenerate diffusion: for $p=N\geq 3$, we sharpen it to $\boldsymbol{\omega}(r) \approx \exp (-c| \ln r|^{\frac1N})$; for $p>\max\{2,N\}$, we derive an unexpected H\"older modulus. This is a joint work with Ugo Gianazza and Naian Liao.

Liouville theorems for nonlocal operators with conical diffusion

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We consider linear stable operators L of order 2s whose spectral measure is positive only in a relative open subset of the unit sphere, the aim being to present Liouville type results, in a half space, for the inequality -Lu ≥ u^p. In particular we will show that u≡0 is the only nonnegative solution for 1 ≤ p ≤ (N+s)/(N-s). The optimality of the exponent (N+s)/(N-s) will also be discussed. Based on a joint work with I. Birindelli and L. Du (Sapienza Università di Roma).

The Horizontal One-Phase Bernoulli Problem

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The regularity of minimizers for the classical one-phase Bernoulli functional has been extensively studied following the pioneering work of Alt and Caffarelli. More recently, the regularity of almost minimizers has also been investigated. This relaxed notion of minimality arises naturally in various contexts, such as variational problems with constraints, and its flexibility allows for addressing a broader range of questions. We present some results concerning the regularity of almost minimizers for a one-phase Bernoulli-type functional in Carnot groups of step two. Our approach is inspired by the methods introduced by De Silva and Savin in the Euclidean setting. We outline the main challenges and techniques employed to establish local Lipschitz regularity for almost minimizers, emphasizing the role of intrinsic gradient estimates. Additionally, we discuss certain generalizations to nonlinear counterparts. Some of the results presented stem from joint works with F. Ferrari (University of Bologna) and N. Forcillo (Michigan State University).

Concavity properties for solutions of the Logarithmic Schrödinger equation

abstract PDF

I will discuss the existence of a solution to the logarithmic Schrödinger equation in a bounded convex domain, with the property that log u is concave. Since the reaction is sign-changing and non-monotone, the classical techniques to attack the problem fail. We instead rely on a continuity argument for the approximating Lane-Emden problems based on the heuristic argument. We will discuss the optimality of the result, exhibiting for any α > 0 a solution such that u^a is not concave. This is a joint work with M. Squassina and M. Gallo.

Fully nonlinear elliptic problems degenerating on an interface with a transmission condition

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Transmission problems describe physical phenomena where the behavior of a system changes across a fixed interface, resulting in different PDEs on each side. These PDEs are coupled through a transmission condition, typically of the Neumann type. In this talk, we will discuss some recent results concerning transmission problems governed by fully nonlinear operators which degenerate near the transmission interface. We obtain Holder differentiability of solutions up to the interface, with optimal exponent, which depends pointwise on the rate of degeneracy.

On the singular planar plateau problem

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The classical Plateau problem asks which surface in three-dimensional space spans the least area among all the surfaces with boundary given by an assigned curve S. This problem has many variants and generalizations, along with (partial) answers, and has inspired numerous new ideas and techniques. In this talk, we will briefly introduce the problem in both its classical and modern contexts, and then we will focus on a specific vectorial (planar) type of the Plateau problem. - Given a curve S in the plane, we can ask which diffeomorphism T of the disk D maps the boundary of D to S and spans the least area, computed as the integral of the Jacobian of T, among competitors with the same boundary condition. For simply connected curves, the answer is provided by the Riemann map, and the minimal area achieved is the Lebesgue measure of the region enclosed by S. For more complex curves, possibly self-intersecting, new analysis is required. I will present a recent result in this sense, obtained in collaboration with Prof. Riccardo Scala from the University of Siena, where the value of the minimum area is computed with an explicit formula that depends on the topology of S.

An area formula for intrinsic regular graphs in homogeneous groups and new related symmetry results

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we present an explicit area formula to compute the spherical Hausdorff measure of an intrinsic regular graph in an arbitrary homogeneous group. We assume the intrinsic graph to be intrinsically differentiable at any point with continuous intrinsic differential. The key aspect of the result lies in the introduction of a suitable notion of intrinsic Jacobian and in the computation of an explicit expression for this object. Eventually, we present recent results about the symmetries of some homogeneous distances for which the area formula takes a simplified expression. This is a joint work with V. Magnani (Unipi).

Radial singular solutions of fully nonlinear equations in punctured balls

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

didattica della matematica

We consider radial solutions of fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations posed in punctured balls, in presence of radial singular quadratic potentials. We discuss both the principal eigenvalues problem and the case of equations having also absorbing superlinear zero order terms: for the former problem, we explicitly compute the principal eigenvalues, thus obtaining an extension in the fully nonlinear framework of the Hardy-Sobolev constant; for the latter case, we provide a complete classification of solutions based on the asymptotic behavior near the singularity. The results are based on joint papers with I. Birindelli and F. Demengel.

The Correspondence Principle: A bridge between general potential theories and nonlinear PDEs

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Abstract

General potential theories concern the study of functions which are subharmonic with respect to a suitable constraint set in the space of 2-jets. While interesting in their own right, general potential theories are being widely used to study fully nonlinear PDEs determined by degenerate elliptic operators acting on the space of 2-jets. We will discuss a powerful tool, the Correspondence Principle, which establishes the equivalence between subharmonics/superharmonics u and admissible subsolutions/supersolutions u (in the viscosity sense) of the PDE determined by every operator which is compatible with the constraint set. The crucial degenerate ellipticity often requires the operator to be restricted to a suitable constraint set, which determines the admissibility. Applications to comparison principles by way of the duality-monotonicity-fiberegularity method will also be discussed. The results to be presented have been obtained in collaboration with Marco Cirant, Reese Harvey, Blaine Lawson and Davide Redaelli.

New tools for detecting the epochs of irregularity of Leray-Hopf solutions to some 3D Navier-Stokes equations

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We study global Leray-Hopf solutions to Cauchy problems for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in a cube under Navier boundary conditions. With a suitable reflection procedure, these solutions become space-periodic over the whole space R^3. Since the pioneering work by Jean Leray, it is known that solutions exist for any initial data with finite energy but it is not known whether their enstrophy may blow up in finite time in the so-called epochs of irregularity. Our simplified geometric and functional-analytic framework enables us to determine explicit bounds both for the epochs of irregularity and for the enstrophy. By using these information we bring strong evidence that the enstrophy blow-up may indeed occur in finite time due to the energy equipartition among the Fourier components of the solution to a finite-dimensional Galerkin approximation of the problem. This is a joint work with Gianni Arioli and Alessio Falocchi.

On a rigidity result for Kolmogorov-type operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

Let D be a bounded open subset of R^n and let z be a point of D. Assume that the Newtonian potential of D is proportional outside D to the potential of a mass concentrated at z. Then D is a Euclidean ball centred at z. This theorem, proved by Aharonov, Shiffer and Zalcman in 1981, was extended to the caloric setting by Suzuki and Watson in 2001. In this seminar, we show that the Suzuki–Watson Theorem is a particular case of a more general rigidity result related to a class of hypoellliptic operators of Kolmogorov-type. Talk based on joint work with E.Lanconelli.

The Wiener Criterion for Double-Phase Diffusion

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We present a recent study on the boundary behavior of solutions to parabolic double-phase equations, through the celebrated Wiener’s sufficiency criterion. The analysis is conducted for cylindrical domains and the regularity up to the lateral boundary is shown in terms of either its p or q capacity, depending on whether the phase vanishes at the boundary or not. Eventually we obtain a fine boundary estimate that, when considering uniform geometric conditions (as density or fatness), leads us to the boundary Holder continuity of solutions. In particular, the double-phase elicits new questions on the definition of an adapted capacity. This is a joint work in collaboration with Eurica Henriques and Ihor Skrypnik.

Sums of squares of complex vector fields

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Hypoellipticity is far from being understood, especially that of degenerate operators of the kind sums of squares of complex vector fields. In recent times, J. J. Kohn discovered complex vector fields that, despite their finite-type generation of the complexified tangent space at any given point, nevertheless are losing many derivatives, a phenomenon also discovered by C. Parenti and myself at about the same time for operators with multiple transversal characteristics. In this talk, I will survey Kohn’s results and some extensions of it, that I have given, and through examples give some speculations in order to deepen the understanding of this phenomenon.

Integrability by Compensation and Morse Index Stability for Conformally Invariant Variational Problems in 2D.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

After recalling some integrability by compensation results related to conformally invariant Lagrangians in dimension 2, we will present a recent result concerning the upper-semi-continuity of the Morse index plus the nullity of critical points to such variational problems under weak convergence. Precisely we establish that the sum of the Morse indices and the nullity of an arbitrary sequence of weakly converging critical points to a general conformally invariant Lagrangians of maps from an arbitrary closed surface into an arbitrary closed smooth manifold passes to the limit in the following sense : it is asymptotically bounded from above by the sum of the Morse Indices plus the nullity of the weak limit and the bubbles, while it was well known that the sum of the Morse index of the weak limit with the Morse indices of the bubbles is asymptotically bounded from above by the Morse indices of the weakly converging sequence.

Problemi differenziali nonlocali in spazi astratti

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In questa presentazione verranno mostrati risultati sull'esistenza e la localizzazione delle soluzioni per problemi differenziali non locali in spazi astratti. In particolare, verrà illustrato un procedimento basato su teoremi di punto fisso associati alle cosiddette condizioni di trasversalità. Una particolare attenzione verrà dedicata ad alcune tecniche che permettono di indebolire le ipotesi di compattezza classiche spesso presenti in letteratura per lo studio di equazioni differenziali in spazi astratti con metodi topologici. Questo approccio fornisce un metodo unificante per lo studio di modelli che descrivono processi di diffusione in diversi contesti. Permette di considerare condizioni periodiche e condizioni iniziali non locali più generali come ad esempio condizioni multipoint oppure condizioni iniziali di tipo integrale, e di gestire nonlinearità con crescite superlineari, ad esempio polinomi cubici o mappe che dipendono dall'integrale della soluzione, includendo così comportamenti di diffusione non locale.

On a new harmonic invariant : the surface ''Kuran gap''

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

By using a family of harmonic functions introduced by Ulku Kuran in 1972, we define a new harmonic invariant that measures the gap between the perimeter of a domain D and the perimeter of the biggest ball contained in D and centered at a fixed point x_0 of D. From the properties of this harmonic invariant we get new proofs, generalizations and partial improvements of several rigidity and stability Theorems by Lewis and Vogel, by Preiss and Toro, by Fichera and by Aharonov, Schiffer and Zalcman. The complete proofs of all these new results will appear in a paper in collaboration with Giovanni Cupini.

Rectifiability in Carnot groups

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Intrinsic regular surfaces in Carnot groups play the same role as C^1 surfaces in Euclidean spaces. As in Euclidean spaces, intrinsic regular surfaces can be locally defined in different ways: e.g. as non critical level sets or as continuously intrinsic differentiable graphs. The equivalence of these natural definitions is the problem that we are studying. Precisely our aim is to generalize some results proved by Ambrosio, Serra Cassano, Vittone valid in Heisenberg groups to the more general setting of Carnot groups

Phase-field approximation of cohesive fracture energies

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The functional analytic setting of various variational models in Fracture Mechanics requires the use of classes of functions with set of discontinuities of codimension one. The difficulty of finding good discretization for such classes of functions makes the direct numerical simulation of those variational problems challenging and highly problematic. For this reason, numerous regularizations have been proposed, the most successful of which are phase-field functionals. These elliptic regularizations were first introduced and analyzed in the work of Ambrosio and Tortorelli for the Mumford-Shah energy in image segmentation, inspired by a now classical example in phase transition by Modica and Mortola. Ambrosio and Tortorelli type approximations have become very popular both in the communities of Calculus of Variations and of Computational Mechanics to address a number of problems in applied sciences, especially in brittle fracture. In the talk, we will comment on some of those phase-field models, starting with Ambrosio and Tortorelli's, which eventually led to a useful variant for approximating cohesive energies in Fracture Mechanics.

Fractional divergence-measure fields

Giovanni Eugenio Comi

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The Gauss-Green and integration by parts formulas are of significant relevance in many areas of mathematical analysis and physics, and such applications motivated several investigations to extend these formulas to less regular integration domains and vector fields. These endeavours naturally led to the definition of the divergence-measure fields, which are L^p-summable vector fields whose divergence is a Radon measure. By applying a Leibniz rule between functions of bounded variation and essentially bounded divergence-measure fields, we will prove Gauss--Green formulas for these fields on sets with finite perimeter. It is also of interest to consider as integration domains sets with possibly fractal boundary, such as sets with finite fractional perimeter. To this purpose, we will present a distributional approach to fractional Sobolev spaces and fractional variation, which exploits the notions of fractional Riesz gradient and divergence. This will allow us introduce the fractional divergence-measure fields, which, in perfect analogy with the integer case, are L^p-summable vector fields whose fractional divergence is a Radon measure. Finally, we will provide Leibniz rules involving such fields and suitably regular scalar functions, leading to the fractional version of the Gauss-Green formula. The talk is mainly based on joint works with Kevin R. Payne and Giorgio Stefani.

We present some recent results about a way of defining suitable fractional powers of the sub-Laplacian on an arbitrary Carnot group through an analytic continuation approach introduced by Landkof in Euclidean spaces. Furthermore, we present a stronger outcome in the setting of the Heisenberg group, which is the simplest non-commutative stratified group. Eventually, in this context we propose a geometrical application of our result: we compute the value of suitable momenta with respect to the heat kernel. This is joint work with Fausto Ferrari.

Symmetry problems for gauge balls in the Heisenberg group

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We discuss the characterization of gauge-symmetric functions in the Heisenberg group via various geometric prescriptions on their level sets. In this talk we mainly focus on a family of overdetermined boundary value problems of Serrin type which exhibit both similarities and differences with respect to the classical symmetry result for the torsion function. We show uniqueness results for gauge balls under suitable partial symmetry assumptions for the class of competitor sets. The main technical tool is a new Bochner-type identity for functions with toric/cylindrical invariances. This is a joint project with V. Martino.

A review on some regularity results for the fractional p-Laplacian

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The fractional p-Laplacian is a nonlinear, nonlocal operator with fractional order and homogeneity exponent p>1, arising in game theory and extending (in some sense) both the classical p-Laplacian and the linear fractional Laplacian. While behaving similarly to its local counterpart from the point of view of variational and topological methods, this operator requires an "ad hoc" approach in regularity theory. We will give an account on some regularity results for elliptic equations driven the fractional p-Laplacian, either free or coupled with nonlocal Dirichlet conditions: in particular we will discuss interior and boundary Hölder continuity, a special form of weighted Hölder regularity, and a recent local clustering lemma. Finally, we will rapidly hint at some applications such as comparison principles, Hopf type lemmas, Harnack inequalities, and an equivalence principle between Sobolev and Hölder minimizers of the associated energy functional. The talk is mainly based on some very recent collaborations with F.G. Düzgün, S. Mosconi, and V. Vespri.

A Brezis-Nirenberg type result for mixed local and nonlocal operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we present some existence results, in the spirit of the celebrated paper by Brezis and Nirenberg (CPAM, 1983), for a perturbed critical problem driven by a mixed local and nonlocal linear operator. More precisely, we develop an existence theory in the cases of linear, superlinear and singular perturbations; in the particular case of linear perturbations, we also investigate an associated mixed Sobolev inequality, detecting the optimal constant, which we show that is never achieved. The results discussed in this seminar are obtained in collaboration with S. Dipierro, E. Valdinoci and E. Vecchi.

Weyl calculus on graded groups

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We present a pseudo-differential Weyl calculus on graded nilpotent Lie groups, especially the Heisenberg group, which extends the celebrated Weyl calculus on R^n. This Weyl calculus is a particular instance of a general symbolic calculus we develop for a large class of quantization schemes that are defined via the (operator-valued) group Fourier transform. The symbol classes we consider are the Hörmander-type classes introduced by Fischer and Ruzhansky, which on R^n coincide with the classical ones. As a by-product, we also recover the classical Kohn-Nirenberg calculus on R^n and Fischer and Ruzhansky's KN-calculus on general graded groups. A few immediate applications of our theory are the expected mapping properties on Sobolev spaces, the existence of one-sided parametrices and the G\aa rding inequality for elliptic operators, and a generalized Poisson bracket on stratified groups. We also discuss two simple algebraic criteria which determine the Weyl quantization uniquely at least on R^n and the Heisenberg group. The talk is based on joint-work with Serena Federico and Michael Ruzhansky.

On the Equation (∇u)^{t}H(u)∇u = G

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Let n ∈ N, n > 2 and let Ω ⊆ R^n be open. Let H, G : R^n → R^{n×n} be of appropriate regularity. We discuss the existence of an immersion u : Ω → R^n of appropriate regularity, satisfying (∇u)^tH(u)(∇u) = G in Ω. (1) We consider both local and global problems. Equation (1) comes up in diverse contexts. When H (and hence G) is symmetric and positive definite, Equation (1) is connected to the problem of equivalence of Riemannian metrics. The symmetric case is also important in the non-linear elasticity theory because of its connection with the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor. When H (and hence G) is skew-symmetric, Equation (1) comes up in the context of the problem of equivalence of differential two-forms. The aim of the talk is to present a survey of recent progress and advances in the context of Equation (1). We also discuss the general case when H, G are neither symmetric nor skew-symmetric. The talk is based on joint works with Bernard Dacorogna, Vladimir Matveev and Marc Troyanov.

Capacity and torsional rigidity: two measures of spectral stability

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk, I will discuss the behavior of the spectrum of the Laplacian on bounded domains, subject to varying mixed boundary conditions. More precisely, let us assume the boundary of the domain to be split into two parts, on which homogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions are respectively prescribed; let us then assume that, alternately, one of these regions “disappears” and the other one tends to cover the whole boundary. In this framework, I will first describe under which conditions the eigenvalues of the mixed problem converge to the ones of the limit problem (where a single kind of boundary condition is imposed); then, I will sharply quantify the rate of this convergence by providing an explicit first-order asymptotic expansion of the “perturbed” eigenvalues. These results have been obtained in collaboration with L. Abatangelo, V. Felli and B. Noris.

On the De Giorgi-Nash-Moser weak regularity theory for kinetic operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The aim of this talk is to discuss the most recent developments of the De Giorgi-Nash-Moser weak regularity theory for kinetic operators. The analysis will be presented in the model case of the Fokker-Planck equation with measurable coefficients in divergence form and the focus will be on exploring qualitative and quantitative methods to prove an invariant Harnack inequality for non-negative solutions. Finally, some applications of this inequality to various kinetic models will be discussed.

Spectral energies with repulsion

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In the talk I will introduce some variational models where an aggregating term, like the perimeter or a Dirichlet-type energy, is in competition with a repulsive one. Examples of such models arise naturally in different fields of physics. It is the case of the Gamow [liquid drop] model and the Hartree energies in quantum mechanics, or the Rayleigh liquid charged drop model in electrowetting theories. I will give an overview of the recent strategies to get well-or-ill posedness of these energies. Then I will focus on a particular case -the reduced Hartree energy of the atom of Helium in a confined potential field- and show a strategy to characterize minimizers for such an energy. The talk is mostly motivated by an ongoing project with Dario Mazzoleni (Pavia) and Cyrill B. Muratov (Pisa).

Some advances in analytic hypoellipticity for sums of squares operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we discuss the problem of the real analytic regularity for the solutions of sums of squares of vector fields. While the problem of the C^\infty hypoellipticity has been settled from the very beginning by Hörmander, the problem of the analytic hypoellipticity is still open and seems much more involved. Treves conjecture states that a “sum of squares”-type operator is analytic hypoelliptic if and only if all the Poisson strata of its characteristic set are symplectic. We show that this conjecture, as stated, does not hold. However, we briefly discuss some model examples which would suggest that the analytic regularity still depends on a suitable stratification of the characteristic variety of the operator.

Some topics on the regularity of Analytic-Gevrey vectors

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

My aim is to give , in this talk , some topics on the question of regularity of Analytic-Gevrey vectors of partial differential operators (p.d.o.) with analytic-Gevrey coefficients . Since the results obtained in the sixties on elliptic p.d.o's , which are both hypoelliptic (Cˆ{\infty} setting) , analytic-Gevrey hypoelliptic (analytic-Gevrey setting) and satisfy the so-called Kotake-Narasimhan property , a lot of works and articles were devoted to these problems in case of non elliptic p.d.o's under suitable hypotheses (for example on the degeneracy of ellipticity). I will consider the third problem on analytic-Gevrey vectors in the three cases of global (on compact manifolds ), local ( near a point in the base-space ), microlocal (near a point in the cotangent space ) , situations , and say few words on the main two methods used in order to obtain positive (or negative) results . Finally I will focus on some new microlocal results on degenerate elliptic (also called sub-elliptic ) p.d.o's of second order , obtained in a common work with Gregorio Chinni .

Anisotropic PDEs: some results and several open problems.

In this seminar we revisit several previous works concerning anisotropic differential equations, i.e. evolution equations in which the diffusion takes a different form within different space directions. Recently, in a joint collaboration with S. Ciani, we went back to these anisotropic PDEs, focusing on the singular ones, and started to work on some of their open problems. We’ll briefly discuss this ongoing project pointing out some of the difficulties one needs to address and overcome.

Our main Theorem improves some previous results and allows to reach the optimal regularity class $C^{1, \frac{α}{2−α}}$ in any dimension. This is a joint work with L. Beck and C. Seis.

Network flow: state of the art

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The curve shortening flow is an evolution equation in which a curve moves with normal velocity equal to its curvature, and can be interpreted as the gradient flow of the length. In this talk I will consider the same flow for networks (finite unions of sufficiently smooth curves whose endpoints meet at junctions). I will explain how to define the flow in a classical PDE framework, and then I will list some examples of singularity formation, both at finite and infinite time, and explain the resolution of such singularities obtained by geometric microlocal analysis techniques. I will describe a stability result based on Lojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequalities and give a rough estimate on the basin of attraction of critical points. Furthermore, I will motivate the coarsening-type behavior clearly visible in numerical simulations. This seminar is mainly based on recent papers in collaboration with Jorge Lira (Uni- versidade Federal do Ceará), Rafe Mazzeo (Stanford University), Mariel Saez (P. Universidad Catolica de Chile) and Marco Pozzetta (Università di Napoli Federico II).

In this talk I present some recent results of a joint work with Paolo Salani and Tadeusz Kulczycki concerning the fractional Bernoulli problem, where I will focus on the so called spectral half Laplacian. After a short introduction, I will explain how to construct a solution to this problem using the Beurling method on the extended problem. Moreover, we discuss geometric properties of the solution and, if there is time, give some remarks on the problem with the usual half Laplacian.

Regularity for solutions of sub-Riemannian type operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We prove a parabolic version of the standard Poincaré inequality, and we show that the elliptic version of the Moser argument can be applied even in the parabolic and Kolmogorov setting to deduce the Hölder regularity of the solutions. The price to pay is the lack of uniformity, in the constants. The proof is elementary and unifies in a natural way several results in the literature on Kolmogorov equations, subelliptic ones and some of their variations. This result is a joint work with M. Manfredini and Y. Sire.

A Bourgain-Brezis's duality argument for global endpoint Poincaré inequalities in Heisenberg groups

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Abstract: Recently, in a joint work with Bruno Franchi and Pierre Pansu, we have proved some new interior Poincaré and Sobolev inequalities for the Rumin complex in the Heisenberg group in the endpoint situation p = Q (the homogeneous group dimension) or p = Q/2, depending on the degree of the forms. We refer to these inequalities as (\infty, Q)-Poincaré or Sobolev inequalities (or (\infty, Q/2)-Poincaré or Sobolev inequalities respectively). These results complement and complete the program on Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities that we developed in a series of previous papers for $1\le p< Q$ (or p<Q/2). In this talk I'll present a further improvement of the global (\infty, Q)-Poincaré inequality, still obtained in collaboration with Franchi and Pansu, showing that it possible to upgrade bounded primitives to bounded and continuous primitives in the case (\infty, Q) (or (\infty, Q/2), depending on the degree of the forms). The argument we use relies on our previous results and duality (i.e. Hahn-Banach) and generalizes to differential forms a Bourgain-Brezis's duality argument for a Poincaré inequality for periodic functions (Bourgain-Brezis, JAMS 2003).

On the harmonic characterization of the spheres: a stability inequality and some of its consequences.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Let D be a bounded open set of R^n with \sigma(\partial D)< \infty and let x_0 be a point of D. Assume that u(x_0) equals the average of u on \partial D for every harmonic function u in D continuous up to the boundary. In this case one says that D is a harmonic pseudosphere centered at x_0. In general, harmonic pseudospheres are not spheres as a two-dimensional example due to Keldysch and Lavrentiev (1937) shows. As a consequence, the following problem naturally arose: when a pseudosphere is a sphere? Or, roughly speaking: is it possible to characterize the Euclidean spheres via the Gauss mean value property for harmonic function? The answer is yes. The most general result in this direction was obtained by Lewis and Vogel in 2002: they proved that a harmonic pseudosphere \partial D is a sphere if D is Dirichlet regular and the surface measure on \partial D has at most an Euclidean growth. Preiss and Toro, in 2007, proved the stability of Lewis and Vogel's result. Namely: a bounded domain D satisfying the Lewis and Vogel’s regularity assumptions, has the boundary geometrically close to a sphere centered at x_0 if the Poisson kernel of D with pole at x_0 is close to a constant. In collaboration with Giovanni Cupini we proved that the previous rigidity and stability results hold true if the domain D has the boundary with finite area and only satisfies the following property: the boundary of D is Lyapunov-Dini regular in at least one point of \partial D closest to x_0. Our approach to the rigidity ad stability properties of the Surface Mean Value Theorem for harmonic functions is quite elementary in spirit: it does not uses the profound harmonic analysis and free boundary techniques instead used by Lewis and Vogel and by Preiss and Toro, but it relies on careful estimates of the Poisson kernel of the biggest ball centered at x_0 and contained in D.

On the relativistic Fokker-Planck operator

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We study a class of second order strongly degenerate kinetic operators L in the framework of special relativity. More precisely, the operator L we consider here is a possible suitable relativistic generalization of the kinetic Fokker-Planck operator. We first describe L as a Hormander operator which is invariant with respect to Lorentz trans- formations. We then prove a Lorentz-invariant Harnack type inequality, and we derive accurate asymptotic lower bounds for positive solutions to L f = 0. As a consequence, we obtain lower bounds for the density of the relativistic stochastic process associated to L . This is a joint work with Francesca Anceschi (Università Politecnica delle Marche) and Sergio Polidoro (Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia).

Asymptotics near extinction for nonlinear fast diffusion on a bounded domain

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

On a smooth bounded Euclidean domain, Sobolev-subcritical fast diffusion with vanishing boundary trace is known to lead to finite-time extinction, with a vanishing profile selected by the initial datum. In rescaled variables, we quantify the rate of convergence to this profile uniformly in relative error, showing the rate is either exponentially fast (with a rate constant predicted by the spectral gap), or algebraically slow (which is only possible in the presence of non-integrable zero modes). In the first case, the nonlinear dynamics are well-approximated by exponentially decaying eigenmodes up to at least twice the gap. This improves on a result of Bonforte and Figalli, by providing a new and simpler approach which is able to accommodate the absence of a spectral gap, as occurs when the vanishing profile fails to be isolated (and may belong to a continuum of such profiles). Joint work with Beomjun Choi and Robert J. McCann.

New Lp-Lq estimates for the wave equation with viscoelastic dissipation

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk, we show recent Lp-Lq estimates, for general (p,q), obtained in collaboration with M.R. Ebert, for the solution to the Cauchy problem for the visco-elastic damped wave equation. These results complete the picture that was started by Y. Shibata (MMAS, 2000), who obtained the endpoint estimates (p,q)=(1,1) and (p,q)=(1,∞). We show that optimal Lp-Lq estimates in the general case cannot be derived by a simple interpolation due to the “noneffective” nature of the damping term. We show the analogous but different result which holds for other strongly damped p-evolution models, as the plate equation. We mention a straightforward application of the obtained estimates to derive global existence of small data solutions for problems with critical or supercritical power nonlinearities.

Symmetry breaking for a supercritical elliptic problem in an annulus

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Abstract

In this talk, I will present an existence result for the Dirichlet problem associated with the elliptic equation -\Delta u + u = a(x)|u|^{p-2}u set in an annulus of R^N. Here p>2 is allowed to be supercritical in the sense of Sobolev embeddings, and a(x) is a positive weight with additional symmetry and monotonicity properties, which are shared by the solution that we construct. For this problem, we find a new type of positive, axially symmetric solutions. Moreover, in the case where the weight a(x) is constant, we detect a condition, depending only on the exponent p and on the inner radius of the annulus, that ensures that the solution is nonradial. In this setting, the major difficulty to overcome is the lack of compactness in a nonradial framework. The proofs rely on a combination of variational methods and dynamical system techniques. This is joint work with Alberto Boscaggin (Università di Torino), Benedetta Noris (Politecnico di Milano), and Tobias Weth (Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt).

LACK OF COMPACTNESS IN THE CRITICAL FOLLAND-STEIN-SOBOLEV EMBEDDING

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We will investigate the effects of the lack of compactness of the critical Folland-Stein-Sobolev embedding by proving that a famous conjecture of Brezis and Peletier (Progr. Nonlinear Differential Equations Appl. 1989) still holds in the Heisenberg framework: optimal functions for a natural subcritical approximations of the Sobolev quotient concentrate energy at one point which can be localized via the Green function associated to the involved domain. In order to achieve the aforementioned result we will combine several new estimates and specific tools to attack the related CR Yamabe equation (Jerison-Lee, J. Diff. Geom. 1987) with new feasible results in PDEs and Calculus of Variations which also aim to constitute general independent results in the Heisenberg framework, as a De Giorgi's Gamma-convergence approach to provide fine energy approximations in very general (possible non-smooth) domains; Caccioppoli-type boundedness estimates depending on the datum for the solutions to even more general subelliptic equations; the asymptotic control of the optimal functions via the Jerison&Lee estremals realizing the equality in the critical Sobolev inequality (J. Amer. Math. Soc. 1988); the celebrated Global Compactness result which we will extend in the Heisenberg framework via a completely different approach with respect to the original one by Struwe (Math. Z. 1984). Il seminario si basa su un lavoro in collaborazione con Mirco Piccinini (Univ. Parma) e Letizia Temperini (Indam - Univ. Firenze).

We present the new Inhomogeneous Pucci Barriers as new elements for the proof. If time permits, we discuss some of the main steps in the proof, namely, the trace estimate of the solution on the points of the fixed boundary that projects nontangentially over the free boundary. These methods are inspired by some ideas of Carlos Kenig in Harmonic Analysis.

Carnot groups provide the simplest instance of metric spaces that are non-Riemannian but are still endowed with a rich structure of dilations and translations, making possible to develop a non-Riemannian Geometric Measure Theory.

Extremal functions for Adams inequalities with Navier boundary conditions

We prove the existence of extremal functions for second order Adams inequalities with Navier boundary conditions on balls in R^n in any dimension n>3. The proof is based on a symmetrization argument and the ideas introduced by Carleson and Chang to prove the existence of extremal functions in the first order case, i.e. extremal functions for the Trudinger-Moser inequality on balls. We also derive a supercritical version of this result for spherically symmetric functions.

Propagation of singularities in subelliptic PDEs

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk, we consider the wave equation where the Laplacian is replaced by a sub-Laplacian (also called ``Hörmander sum of square''), which is an hypoelliptic operator. We handle the problem of describing the propagation of singularities in such equations : the main new phenomenon that we describe is that singularities can propagate along abnormal curves at any speed between 0 and 1. This general result extends an idea due to R. Melrose, and we then illustrate it on an example, the Martinet case, following a joint work with Y. Colin de Verdière. Our statements are part of a classical/quantum correspondance between sub-Riemannian geometry (on the classical side) and the hypoelliptic operator (on the quantum side), which is also helpful to interpret results in control theory and spectral theory of hypoelliptic operators.

Free boundary regularity for a one-phase problem with non-standard growth

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We consider viscosity solutions to a one-phase free boundary problem for a nonlinear elliptic PDE with non-zero right hand side. We obtain regularity results for solutions and their free boundaries. The operator under consideration is a model case in the class of partial differential equations with non-standard growth. This type of operators have been used in the modelling of non-Newtonian fluids, such as electrorheological or thermorheological fluids, also in non-linear elasticity and image reconstruction. We also obtain some new results for the governing operator that are of independent interest. This is joint work with Fausto Ferrari (University of Bologna, Italy)

The result we discuss could be understood as the extension to the case of the (gSQG) of the seminal result of Marchioro and Pulvirenti concerning the bi-dimensional incompressible Euler equations. However, the information about the dynamic behaviour and the shape of the constructed solution that we obtain is much more precise than the obtained by Marchioro and Pulvirenti. The talk is based on a joint work with Manuel del Pino.

New concentration phenomena for radial solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We present recent results about radial solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems posed in a ball, driven by the extremal Pucci's operators and provided with power zero order terms. We show that a new critical exponent appears, related to the existence or nonexistence of sign-changing solutions. Furthermore we analyze the new concentration phenomena occurring as the exponents approach the critical values. Based on joint works with A. Iacopetti, G. Galise and F. Pacella.

On the regularity of solutions and of analytic vectors for ``sums of squares"

analisi matematica

We present some results concerning the local and global regularity of the solutions for some classes/models of sums of squares of vector fields with real-valued real analytic coefficients of Hörmander type. Moreover we also illustrate a result concerning the microlocal Gevrey regularity of analytic vectors for operators sums of squares of vector fields with real-valued real analytic coefficients of Hörmander type, thus providing a microlocal version, in the analytic category, of a result due to M. Derridj.

Phase space Analysis of Wick operators on Bargmann space with applications to discrete NLS

analisi matematica

We show a link between weighted Hilbert-Schmidt norms of Wick operators on Bargmann space and $L^2$-norm of Wick symbols with respect to a class of measures on the complex phase space. As an application, we derive the flow of discrete NLS equations by the mean field asymptotics of a many body quantum model for $N$ interacting particles as $N$ becomes large.

Formule di media per soluzioni classiche di equazioni uniformemente paraboliche e generalizzazioni a gruppi di Lie

analisi matematica

Dimostriamo formule di media, di superficie e di volume, per soluzioni classiche di equazioni paraboliche in forma di divergenza sotto ipotesi naturali sulla regolarità dei coefficienti. La dimostrazione si basa sulle proprietà usuali della soluzione fondamentale delle equazioni paraboliche, su un teorema di divergenza generalizzato e su un preciso risultato dovuto a Dubovickii sulla regolarità degli insiemi di livello delle funzioni C^1. Discuteremo infine la generalizzazione di queste formule di media al contesto degli operatori subellittici nei gruppi di Carnot. I risultati di questo seminario sono stati ottenuti in collaborazione con Diego Pallara ed Emanuele Malagoli.

News from the JKO scheme for linear and non-linear diffusion PDEs as Wasserstein gradient flows

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

I will start the talk by recalling the notion of gradient flow in its easiest occurrence: the evolution equation x'(t)=-grad F(x(t)) in the Euclidean space. In particular, the focus will be on the implicit Euler scheme as a sequence of iterated minimization problems. I will then move to a more involved setting, where the point x is replaced by a probability density ρ evolving in the space of probabilities endowed with the so-called Wasserstein distance, induced by optimal transport. For suitable choices of the functional F one can recover linear diffusion PDEs (heat and Fokker-Planck equations) as well as non-linear ones (porous medium, fast diffusion, models for crowd motion). The iterated minimization scheme is called in this case JKO scheme (from Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto). After explaining why this scheme heuristically provide the desired equation at the limit, I will show how its optimality conditions can be exploited to prove estimates on its solutions, in particular BV, Sobolev and Lipschitz bounds. Lipschitz estimates can also be interpreted as bounds on the maximal displacement of each particle in the optimal transport map, and have a numerical interest, which I will discuss in two examples, where a potential drift is coupled either with linear diffusion or with a pressure effect due to density constrained in crowd motion.

Towards semi-classical analysis for sub-elliptic operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk, I will discuss the development of semi-classical analysis for sub-elliptic operators such as sub-Laplacians. For an elliptic operator, this is well understood as the tools and methods to study e.g. quantum ergodicity or Schrödinger equations have become well established over the past fifty years. They rely on the pseudo-differential theory, and in the elliptic case the space of principal symbols is commutative. The aim of this talk is to present my approach to define similar tools for sub-Laplacians, leading to more non-commutative concepts.

Optimal design problems with repulsive term

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

Some new ideas in Calculus of Variation and Geometric Measure Theory allowed, in the last decade, to revisit from a precise mathematical point of view some physical models. Instances of such models are the Lord Rayleigh model of charged liquid drops in electrowetting, the liquid drop model by Gamow to describe nuclear fissions, the Hartree equations in atomic physics. In the seminar I will give a brief overview on such results. Later I will focus on recent results about some of those topics. The topic of the talk is partially based upon works in collaboration with M. Goldman, D. Mazzoleni, C.B. Muratov and M. Novaga.

The synergistic interplay between two proteins: a mathematical model for Alzheimer's disease

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

There is currently a great deal of interest in the scientific community in investigating the effects of the synergistic interplay of Amyloid beta and tau on the dynamics of Alzheimer’s disease. I will present a mathematical model for the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease based on transport and diffusion equations for the two proteins. In the model neurons are treated as a continuous medium and structured by their degree of mal- functioning. Three different mechanisms are assumed to be relevant for the temporal evolution of the disease: i) diffusion and agglomeration of soluble Amyloid beta, ii) effects of misfolded tau protein and iii) neuron-to- neuron prion-like transmission of the disease. These processes are modelled by a system of Smoluchowski equations for the Amyloid beta concentration, an evolution equation for the dynamics of tau protein and a kinetic-type transport equation for the distribution function of the degree of malfunctioning of neurons. The latter equation contains an integral term describing the random onset of the disease as a jump process localized in particularly sensitive areas of the brain. I will explain in detail the structure of the model and give a hint of the main results obtained and the techniques used for the purpose. Eventually I will also show the output of some numerical simulations, of some significance even if performed in an over-simplified 2D geometry.

New regularity and existence results for the prescribed mean curvature equation in the Lorentz-Minkowski space

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we present some recent results concerning the regularity of the unique weak solution vanishing at infinity of the prescribed mean curvature equation in the Lorentz-Minkowski space for spacelike hypersurfaces, when the mean curvature belongs to $L^p(R^N)$, with $p>N$. This equation is also known as the ``Born-Infeld'' equation, as it comes from the nonlinear model of electromagnetism introduced by M. Born and L. Infeld, but it also plays a crucial role in Relativity. In the first part of the talk we will show a new gradient estimate for smooth solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation and prove that, under our assumptions, the unique minimizer of the Born-Infeld energy, which is a priori only Lipschitz continuous, is actually a strictly spacelike weak solution of class $W^{2,p}$. In the second part the we will discuss some other related results concerning the existence of spacelike radial graphs of prescribed mean curvature and some open problems. These results are collected in a series of joint works with Prof. D. Bonheure (Université Libre de Bruxelles).

We prove a characterization relating the regularity along the vector fields to the existence of appropriate instrinsic Taylor formulas which extends in the non-local context the characterization given in the diffusive setting.

Totally positive functions play an important role in approximation theory and statistics.

A dynamical system approach to the scalar curvature equation: multiplicity results.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we illustrate results concerning radial positive solutions of semi-linear elliptic equations such as $$\Delta u + k(|x|) u^{q-1}=0 \qquad \qquad \qquad (1)$$ where $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, $n>2$, $k(|x|)>0$, and its generalization to the $p$-Laplace case. We focus in particular on the critical case $q=2^*=\frac{2n}{n-2}$. Our goal is to find conditions on $k$ ensuring existence and multiplicity of ground states with fast decay, i.e. solutions $u(x)$ defined and positive in the whole of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and decaying as $|x|^{-(n-2)}$ for $|x|$ large. Using Fowler transformation we pass from (1) to a two dimensional dynamical system so that we can apply phase plane techniques such as invariant manifold theory, shooting, Melnikov theory. In particular the search of ground states with fast decay is translated on the search of homoclinic trajectories.

Regularity of the free boundary for the two-phase Bernoulli problem.

This complete the analysis started by Alt Caffarelli Friedman in the 80’s.

Characterization of the Palais-Smale sequences for the fractional CR Yamabe functional

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we consider the functional whose critical points are solutions of the fractional CR Yamabe-type equation on the CR sphere. Due to the lack of compactness for the associated critical Sobolev embedding, the functional does not satisfy the Palais-Smale condition. By adapting a classical arguments by Struwe and by making use of some recent commutator estimates, which allow us to deal with our non-local setting, we obtain a characterization of the Palais-Smale sequences. Then, as an application, we prove a multiplicity result for the related equation. This is joint work with A.Maalaoui and V.Martino.

Optimization results for the higher eigenvalues of the p-Laplacian

analisi matematica

In this talk we study the existence of an optimal set for the minimization of the $k$-th variational eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian among $p$-quasi open sets of fixed measure included in a box of finite measure. An analogous existence result is obtained for eigenvalues of the $p$-Laplacian associated with Schr\"odinger potentials. In order to deal with these nonlinear shape optimization problems, we develop a general approach which allows to treat the continuous dependence of the eigenvalues of the $p$-Laplacian associated with sign-changing capacitary measures under $\gamma$-convergence.

Viscosity solutions approach to variational problems

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we discuss some extensions of the classical Krylov-Safonov Harnack inequality. After reviewing the standard regularity theory, we will introduce a weaker notion of viscosity solutions. The novelty is that we consider functions that do not necessarily satisfy an infinitesimal equation but rather exhibit a two-scale behavior. Roughly, our viscosity solutions satisfy comparison in a neighborhood of a touching point whose size depends on the properties of the test functions. As an application, we recover the C^{1,\alpha} estimates of Almgren and Tamanini for quasi-minimizers of the perimeter functional. We also establish the regularity of the free boundary for almost minimizers of one-phase type problems.

The singular set in the fully nonlinear obstacle problem

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

For the Obstacle Problem involving a convex fully nonlinear elliptic operator, we show that the singular set of the free boundary stratifies. The top stratum is locally covered by a $C^{1,\alpha}$-manifold, and the lower strata are covered by $C^{1,\log^\eps}$-manifolds. This essentially recovers the regularity result obtained by Figalli-Serra when the operator is the Laplacian.

A gradient estimate for nonlocal minimal graphs

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The talk will be concerned with s-minimal surfaces, that is, hypersurfaces of R^n with zero nonlocal mean curvature. These are the equations associated to critical points of the fractional s-perimeter. We will present a recent result in collaboration with M. Cozzi in which we establish, in any dimension, a gradient estimate for nonlocal minimal graphs. It leads to their smoothness, a result that was only known for n=2 and 3 (but without a quantitative bound); in higher dimensions only their continuity had been established. We will also present a work with E. Cinti and J. Serra in which we prove that half spaces are the only stable s-minimal cones in R^3 for s sufficiently close to 1.

Poincaré and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on Euclidean spaces and Heisenberg groups.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we present some recent results obtained in collaboration with B. Franchi and P. Pansu about Poincaré and Sobolev inequalities in Heisenberg groups (some results are new also for Euclidean spaces). For $L^p$, $p>1$, the estimates are consequence of singular integral estimates. I would like to concentrate the seminar, in particular, to the limiting case $L^1$, where the exterior Rumin-differential of a differential form is measured in $L^1$ norm. Unlike for $L^p$, $p>1$, the estimates are doomed to fail in top degree. In the limiting case, the singular integral estimates are replaced with inequalities which go back to Bourgain-Brezis and Lanzani-Stein in Euclidean spaces, and to Chanillo-Van Schaftingen and Baldi-Franchi-Pansu in Heisenberg groups.

Mean value formulas and Liouville theorems for linear second order PDEs

We then show how these formulas can be used to obtain Liouville Theorems for entire solutions. Our formulas are, in general, weighted average formulas. The relevant weights are ''densities with the mean value property'' a notion playing a central role in rigidity and stability problems. The results we present, related to the Mean value formulas, are obtained in collaboration with Giovanni Cupini. The ones related to the Liouville Theorems are joint works with Alessia Kogoj.

On weakly monotone functions

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

The notion of weakly monotone functions was introduced, in the setting of Sobolev spaces, by J.Manfredi, in connection with the analysis of the regularity of maps of finite distortion appearing in the theory of nonlinear elasticity. We propose a criterion for the continuity of weakly monotone functions in terms of the decreasing rearrangement of their gradient. We also prove the continuity of weakly monotone functions whose gradient is in suitable rearrangement-invariant spaces. In particular, weakly monotone functions with gradient belonging to an Orlicz space or to a Lorentz space are discussed. These results are contained in joint works with Andrea Cianchi.

On the nodal set of solutions to degenerate or singular elliptic equations with an application to s-harmonic functions

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We will discuss the geometric-theoretic analysis of the nodal set of solutions to degenerate or singular equations involving a class of operators including L_a = div(|y|^a \nabla), with -1<a<1 and their perturbations. As they belong to the Muckenhoupt class A_2, these operators appear in the seminal works of E. Fabes, C. Kenig, D. Jerison and R. Serapioni and have recently attracted a lot of attention in the last decade due to their link to the localization of the fractional Laplacian via the extension in one more dimension. Our goal is to develop a complete theory of the stratification properties for the nodal set of solutions of such equations in the spirit of the seminal works of R. Hardt, L. Simon, Q. Han and F.-H. Lin, giving several applications in the context on solutions to non-local elliptic equations with fractional Diffusions. This is a joint work with Y. Sire and S. Terracini.

News on the Moser-Trudinger inequality

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The existence of critical points for the Moser-Trudinger inequality for large energies has been open for a long time. We will first show how a collaboration with G. Mancini allows to recast the Moser-Trudinger inequality and the existence of its extremals (originally due to L. Carleson and A. Chang) under a new light, based on sharp energy estimate. Building upon a recent subtle work of O. Druet and P-D. Thizy, in a work in progress with O. Druet, A. Malchiodi and P-D. Thizy, we use these estimates to compute the Leray-Schauder degree of the Moser-Trudinger equation (via a suitable use of the Poincaré-Hopf theorem), hence proving that for any bounded non-simply connected domain the Moser-Trudinger inequality admits critical points of arbitrarily high energy. In a work in progress with F. De Marchis, O. Druet, A. Malchiodi and P-D. Thizy, we expect to use a variational argument to treat the case of a closed surface.

On s-harmonic functions on cones

analisi matematica

We deal with non negative s-harmonic functions in a cone C of R^n (with vertex at the origin), which satisfy 0-Dirichlet boundary conditions in the complement of the cone. We consider the case when $s$ approaches $1$, wondering whether solutions of the problem do converge to harmonic functions in the same cone or not. Surprisingly, the answer will depend on the opening of the cone through an auxiliary eigenvalue problem on the upper half sphere. These conic functions are involved in the study of the nodal regions in the case of optimal partitions and other free boundary problems and play a crucial role in the extension of the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula to the case of fractional diffusions.

The vanishing discount problem for fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic PDEs

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

I discuss an approach, based on generalized Mather measures, to the vanishing discount problem for fully nonlinear, degenerate elliptic, partial differential equations. Under mild assumptions, we introduce viscosity Mather measures for such PDEs, which are natural extensions of Mather measures, originally due to J. Mather. Using the viscosity Mather measures, we can show that the whole family of solutions $v^\lambda$ of the discounted problem, with the discount factor $\lambda$, converges to a solution of the ergodic problem as $\lambda$ goes to 0. This is based on joint work with Hiroyoshi Mitake (Hiroshima University) and Hung V. Tran (University of Wisconsin, Madison).

Formazione di singolarità nel moto secondo la curvatura media frazionaria

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Nel 2009, Caffarelli, Roquejoffre e Savin hanno introdotto una nozione non locale di perimetro di insiemi, detto perimetro frazionario. Dalla variazione prima del perimetro si ottiene la curvatura media frazionaria di un insieme, che è definita da un operatore integrale con nucleo singolare. Da allora, vari autori hanno studiato queste nozioni, ottenendo ad esempio proprietà di regolarità per superfici minime non locali, esistenza di superfici di tipo Delaunay a curvatura frazionaria costante, e disuguaglianze isoperimetriche. Più recentemente, è stato considerato il moto di superfici secondo la curvatura media frazionaria, che è il flusso gradiente del perimetro non locale, ottenendo risultati di esistenza e unicità per soluzioni deboli e proprietà di invarianza. Dopo aver richiamato queste proprietà, ci soffermeremo su un risultato in collaborazione con E. Cinti ed E. Valdinoci, che dimostra l'esistenza di superfici che sviluppano singolarità di tipo "collo di bottiglia" (neckpinch). E' interessante notare che, come conseguenza della natura non locale della curvatura frazionaria, tali singolarità si sviluppano in qualunque dimensione, inclusa quella orrispondente al caso di curve nel piano. In questo aspetto l'evoluzione si differenzia da quella classica, dove le curve si contraggono a un punto senza sviluppare singolarità in base al teorema di Grayson.

Everywhere regularity of vectorial minimizers of some non-convex functionals

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The convexity of the integrand of a functional of the calculus of variations is equivalent to the lower semicontinuity of the functional in the scalar case, but it is only a sufficient condition in the vectorial case. So, it is not satisfied by many interesting examples to which the existence theorems apply. Moreover, the convexity of the integrand turns out to be a too strong and unrealistic assumption in applications, as for instance in mathematical models in nonlinear elasticity (Ball 1977). In the vectorial framework more appropriate and weaker conditions than the convexity are the polyconvexity and the quasiconvexity. Under these assumptions, many results were proved concerning the partial regularity of minimizers (regularity on open sets of full measure), but the results concerning the everywhere regularity are very few and mainly in low dimensions (n=N=2). We will discuss recent everywhere regularity results of vectorial minimizers for some classes of polyconvex and quasiconvex functionals (n,N >2) obtained in collaboration with F. Leonetti and E. Mascolo (local boundedness) and with them and M. Focardi (Holder continuity). The proofs rely on the power and elegant (typically scalar) method by De Giorgi (1957).

Carleson measures for the Dirichlet space on the polydisc

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

The Dirichlet space on the polydisc consists of analytic functions defined on the cartesian product of n-copies of a disc, having finite Sobolev norm. In the one-dimensional case (d = 1) the Carleson measures were first described by Stegenga (’80) in terms of capacity, further development was achieved in papers by Arcozzi, Rochberg, Sawyer, Wick and others. Following Arcozzi et al. we consider the equivalent problem in the discrete setting - characterization of trace measures for the Hardy operator on the polytree. For d = 2 we present a description of such measures in terms of bilogarithmic capacity (which, in turn, gives the description of Carleson measures for the Dirichlet space on the bidisc in the sense of Stegenga). We also discuss some arising combinatorial problems. This talk is based on joint work with N. Arcozzi, K.-M. Perfekt, G. Sarfatti.

We establish new fractional Poincaré inequalities encoding geometry of conformally flat manifolds with finite total Q-curvature.

On the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the subelliptic eikonal equation

abstract: We consider the subelliptic eikonal equation, i.e. the eikonal equation associated with a family of (real) smooth vector fields satisfying the Hoermander bracket generating condition on a neighborhood of an open bounded set with smooth boundary. We study the regularity and the singularities of the viscosity solution of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for such an equation.

Alexandrov, Serrin, Weinberger, Reilly: symmetry and stability

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Il Soap Bubble Theorem (SBT) stabilisce che una superficie compatta con curvatura media costante è una sfera. Per dimostrare questo risultato, A. D. Alexandrov ha inventato il suo principio di riflessione, che è stato in seguito perfezionato da J. Serrin nel metodo dei piani mobili, per ottenere la simmetria radiale per una classe di problemi sovra-determinati. H. F. Weinberger ha fornito una dimostrazione del risultato di Serrin basata su alcune identità e disuguaglianze integrali. R. C. Reilly ha infine fatto vedere come il metodo di Weinberger può essere usato per ottenere un'altra dimostrazione del SBT. Nel mio seminario, seguendo le orme di Weinberger e Reilly, farò vedere come i due risultati di simmetria discendano da due identità integrali per la rigidità torsionale di una sbarra. Le due identità saranno poi usate per ottenere risultati di stabilità della configurazione sferica nei due problemi ed in altri problemi analoghi.

The Harnack inequality for several classes of sub-elliptic operators.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this seminar some recent results concerning Harnack inequalities will be presented for several classes of sub-elliptic operators. We will start by considering a class of sub-elliptic operators, in divergence form, with low-regular coefficients under global doubling and Poincaré assumptions; for these operators a non-homogeneous invariant Harnack inequality will be shown. As a consequence, we will prove the solvability of the Dirichlet problem (in a suitable weak sense). In the second part, we will consider a class of hypoelliptic non-Hormander operators for which we have been able to construct a Green function; with a completely different approach with respect to the case of doubling metric spaces, we will conclude by showing (by means of techniques of Potential Theory) how the solvability of the Dirichlet problem has been a fundamental tool in order to prove a homogeneous Harnack inequality in the framework of harmonic spaces.

Radial positive solutions for p-Laplacian supercritical Neumann problems

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this presentation, we will analyze a p-Laplacian problem set in a ball of R^N, with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. The equation involves a nonlinearity g which is (p-1)-superlinear at infinity, possibly supercritical in the sense of Sobolev embeddings. The nonlinearity allows the problem to have a constant non-zero solution. In this setting, we prove via shooting method the existence, multiplicity, and oscillatory behavior (around the constant solution) of non-constant, positive, radial solutions. We show that the situation changes drastically depending on p>1. For example, in the prototype case g(s)=s^{q-1}, if p>2, the problem has infinitely many solutions for q>p. While, if p=2, the problem admits at least k non-constant solutions provided that q-2 is bigger than the (k+1)-th radial eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions. Finally, for 1<p<2 a surprising result is found, as non-constant solutions with the same oscillatory behavior appear in couples when the radius of the domain is big enough. We will try to give a unified description and motivation for these three different situations. This is a joint work with Alberto Boscaggin (Università di Torino) and Benedetta Noris (Universitè de Picardie Jules Verne). [A. Boscaggin, F. Colasuonno, B. Noris, Multiple positive solutions for a class of p-Laplacian Neumann problems without growth conditions, preprint] [F. Colasuonno, B.

Flatness results for nonlocal phase transitions in low dimensions.

We present some recent results in the study of the fractional Allen-Cahn equation. In particular, we are interested in the analogue, for the fractional case, of a well known De Giorgi conjecture about one-dimensional symmetry of bounded monotone solutions. In dimension n=2 and for any fractional power 0<s<1 of the Laplacian, the conjecture is known to be true. In this seminar, we will address the 3-dimensional case. Depending wheter s is below or above 1/2, we need to exploit different techniques and ingredients in the proof of the one-dimensional symmetry. In particular, when s<1/2, some properties of the so-called nonlocal minimal surfaces, will play a crucial role. This talk is based on several papers in collaboration with X. Cabré, J. Serra, and E. Valdinoci.

The isoperimetric problem in Carnot-Carathéodory spaces

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The aim of this seminar is to present some results about the isoperimetric problem in Carnot-Carathéodory spaces connected with the Heisenberg geometry. The Heisenberg group is the framework of an open problem about the shape of isoperimetric sets, known as Pansu’s conjecture. We start by studying the isoperimetric problem in Grushin spaces and Heisenberg type groups, under a symmetry assumption that depends on the dimension. We emphasize a relation between the perimeter in these two types of structure. We conclude by presenting some recent results about constant mean curvature surfaces (hence about isoperimetric sets) in the Riemannian Heisenberg group, focusing our attention on the subriemannian limit.

Local solvability of a class of degenerate second order operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In this talk we analyze the local solvability property of a class of degenerate second order partial differential operators with smooth and non-smooth coefficients. The class under consideration exhibits a degeneracy due to the interplay between the singularity associated with the characteristic set of a system of vector fields and the vanishing of a function. In particular we shall show the local solvability property of the class in the neighborhood of a set where the principal symbol of the operator can possibly change sign (which is a property that can negatively affect the local solvability of the operator).

KP theory, total positivity and rational degenerations of M-curves

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

It is well known that real regular bounded KP (n-k,k)-line solitons are associated to soliton data in the totally non-negative part of the Grassmannian Gr(k,n) and that, in principle, they may be obtained in a certain limit from regular real quasi--periodic KP solutions. The latter class of KP solutions correspond to algebraic geometric data a la Krichever on regular M-curves according to a theorem by Dubrovin-Natanzon. In this talk I shall present some new results recently obtained in collaboration with P.G. Grinevich (LITP-RAS and Moscow State University). The purpose of our research is the connection of such two areas of mathematics using the real finite gap theory of the KP equation. I shall explain how we associate to any KP soliton data in the real totally nonnegative part of Gr(k,n) the rational degeneration of an M-curve of genus g=k(n-k) and the effective KP divisor.

An Inverse Problem in Potential Theory for Picone Elliptic-Parabolic PDEs.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

slides

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in ${\mathbb{R}^N$. A density with the mean value property for non-negative harmonic functions in $\Omega$ is a positive l.s.c. function $w$ such that, for a suitable $ x_0 \in \Omega $, $$ u(x0) = \frac{1}{w(Ω)} \nt_{\Omega} u(y)w(y)dy $$ for every non-negative harmonic function $u$ in $\Omega$. In this case we say that $(\Omega,w,x_0)$ is a $\Delta$-triple. Existence of $\Delta$-triples on every suﬃcently smooth domain has been proved in 1994-1995, by Hansen and Netuka, and by Aikawa. Very recently, we have given positive answers to the following inverse problem: “Let $ (\Omega,w,x_0)$ and $(D,w',x_0)$ be $\Delta$-triples such that $\frac{w }{w(\Omega)= \frac {w'}{w'(D)} in $D ∩Ω$. Then is it true that $ \Omega = D$?” Our result contains, as particular cases, several classical potential theoretical characterizations of the Euclidean balls. Densities with the mean value property for solutions to wide classes of Picone’s elliptic-parabolic PDEs have appeared in literature since the 1954 pioneering work by B.Pini on the mean value property for caloric functions. In this talk we present an abstract inverse problem Theorem allowing to extend the previously recalled result on the $ \Delta$-triples to elliptic, parabolic and sub-elliptic PDEs. The results have been obtained in collaboration with Giovanni Cupini (Universita' di Bologna).

Direct and Inverse Problems for Degenerate Differential Equations

We are concerned with a general abstract equation that allows to handle various degenerate first and second order differential equations in Banach spaces. We indicate sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of a solution. Periodic conditions are assumed to improve previous approaches on the abstract problem to work on (−∞;∞). Related inverse problems are discussed, too. All general results are applied to some systems of partial differential equations. Inverse problems for degenerate evolution integro-differential equations might be described, too. Keywords: Inverse problem; First-Order problem, Second-Order problem, c0−semigroup, Periodic Solution. Joint work with: Mohammed AL Horani; Mauro Fabrizio; Hiroki Tanabe

Sparse domination of singular integral operators.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Singular integral operators, which are a priori signed and non-local, can be dominated in norm, pointwise, or dually, by sparse averaging operators, which are in contrast positive and localized. The most striking consequence is that weighted norm inequalities for the singular integral follow from the corresponding, rather immediate estimates for the averaging operators. In this talk, we present several positive sparse domination results of singular integrals falling beyond the scope of classical Calderón-Zygmund theory; notably, modulation invariant multilinear singular integrals including the bilinear Hilbert transforms, variation norm Carleson operators, matrix-valued kernels, rough homogeneous singular integrals and critical Bochner-Riesz means. Joint work with Amalia Culiuc and Yumeng Ou and partly with Jose Manuel Conde-Alonso, Yen Do and Gennady Uraltsev.

Sub-Elliptic Operators and sharp Multiplier Theorems

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Abstract. Let L be the Laplacian on R^n . The investigation of necessary and sufficient conditions for an operator of the form F (L) to be bounded on L^p in terms of smoothness properties of the spectral multiplier F is a classical and very active research area of harmonic analysis, with long-standing open problems (e.g., the Bochner–Riesz conjecture) and connections with the regularity theory of PDEs. In settings other than the Euclidean, particularly in the presence of a sub- Riemannian geometric structure, the natural substitute L for the Laplacian need not be an elliptic operator, and it may be just sub-elliptic. In this context, even the simplest questions related to the L^p -boundedness of operators of the form F (L) are far from being completely understood. I will survey recent results dealing with the case of sub-Laplacians on 2-step Carnot groups, complex and quaternionic spheres, and Grushin operators.

A landing theorem for hairs and dreadlocks of entire functions with bounded post-singular sets

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

The Douady-Hubbard landing theorem for periodic external rays is one of the cornerstones of the successful study of polynomial dynamics. It states that, for a complex polynomial $f$ with bounded postcritical set, every periodic external ray lands at a repelling or parabolic periodic point, and conversely every repelling or parabolic point is the landing point of at least one periodic external ray. We prove an analogue of the theorem for entire functions with bounded postsingular set. If such $f$ additionally has finite order of growth, then our result states precisely that every periodic hair of $f$ lands at a repelling or parabolic point, and again conversely every repelling or parabolic point is the landing point of at least one periodic hair. (Here a \emph{periodic hair} is a curve consisting of escaping points of $f$ that is invariant under an iterate of $f$.) For general $f$ with bounded postsingular set, but not necessarily of finite order, the role of hairs is taken by more general connected sets of escaping points, which we call \emph{dreadlocks}. This is joint work with Lasse Rempe-Gillen.

Regularity results for elliptic equations and systems with variable growth exponent

We present a review on some regularity results I obtained in the last 10 years for elliptic equations whose prototype is the p(x)-Laplacian; they can be interpreted as the Euler-Lagrange equations of integral functionals appearing in the mathematical modelling of strongly anisotropic materials. Under suitable continuity assumptions on the function p, the results I'm going to present include: - Hoelder continuity results in the scalar case (also for the obstacle problem) - Calderon-Zygmund estimates for a class of obstacle problem with variable growth exponent - global regularity and stability of solutions to elliptic equations with non-standard growth - Lipschitz estimates for systems (thus in the vectorial setting) with ellipticity conditions at infinity

CHARACTERIZATION OF BALLS THROUGH CONCAVITY PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS TO ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS

analisi matematica

I will present two (unconventional) overdetermined problems. Let $n\geq 3$ and $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $R^n$. First: if the Newtonian potential $u$ of $\Omega$ has two homothetic convex level sets, then $\Omega$ is a ball. Second: if the Newtonian potential $u$ of $\Omega$ is $\frac{1}{2-n}$-concave (i.e. $u^{(1/(2−n)}$ is convex), then Ω is a ball. The result can be extend to the $p$-capacity potential for $p\in(1,n)$.

Ipoellitticità analitica di una somma di quadrati e Congettura di Treves

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Mentre è ben nota la caratterizzazione geometrica dell'ipoellitticità C^\infty di una somma Q di quadrati di campi vettoriali, per l'ipoellitticità analitica la questione è largamente aperta. A questo riguardo, F. Treves [1996] ha formulato una congettura secondo cui l'ipoellitticità analitica dipenderebbe dalla "regolarità" simplettica di un'opportuna stratificazione dell'insieme caratteristico di Q. In questo seminario, si discuterà un risultato, ottenuto in collaborazione con P. Albano e A. Bove, che mostra come la suddetta stratificazione non sia in realtà sufficiente a garantire l'ipoellitticità analitica di Q.

The class of operator to which our results apply contains the Heat operators on stratified Lie groups and the prototypes of the Kolmogorov operators.

Noncommutative Fourier analysis on invariant subspaces: frames of unitary orbits and Hilbert modules over group von Neumann algebras

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We give an survey of some recent results concerning the structure of bases and frames generated by unitary group orbits in Hilbert spaces. Invariant subspaces can be characterized, by means of Fourier intertwining operators, as modules whose rings of coefficients are given by group von Neumann algebras. It can be shown that these modules are naturally endowed with an unbounded operator-valued pairing which defines a noncommutative Hilbert structure. Roughly speaking, each orbit defines a point in such a Hilbert module, and the noncommutative pairing defines the analogous of a scalar product. Frames and bases obtained by countable families of orbits can then be characterized in terms of new notions of noncommutative reproducing systems, for which a full theory of linear expansions has been developed. Motivations for this study come from problems in approximation theory, concerning group generalizations of wavelets and multiresolution analysis, and issues of regular sampling in shift-invariant spaces such as generalized Paley Wiener spaces.

The Newtonian potential of a homogeneous body D is proportional, outside D, to the Newtonian potential of a mass concentrated at a point x_0 in D if and only if D is a Euclidean ball centered at x_0. The if part simply follows from Gauss Mean Value Theorem for harmonic functions. The only if part is a Theorem by Aharonov, Schiffer and Zalcman. Aim of this talk is to present an extension of the previous result to non-homogeneous bodies, obtained in collaboration with Giovanni Cupini.

(joint work with Paulo D.~Cordaro) We study the properties of the Green operator for an analytic linear PDO such that both it and its formal adjoint are globally sub-elliptic and globally analytic-hypoelliptic (GAH) in the torus. We introduce the class of M\'etivier operators, $ \mathscr{M}_{\varepsilon}(\mathbb{T}^{N})$, study the properties of its perturbations and of its analytic vectors and show that when the Green operator of $ P(x,D)$ belongs to a well defined class of analytic pseudodifferential operators on the torus then $ P(x,D) \in \mathscr{M}_{\varepsilon}(\mathbb{T}^{N})$. We present some examples of linear PDO in such class.\\ We also study (joint work with N. ~Braun Rodrigues, Paulo D.~Cordaro and M.~R.~Jahnke) the perturbation problem and the Gevrey regularity of the Gevrey vectors for a class of globally analytic hypoelliptic H\"ormander's operators defined on the $N$-dimensional torus introduced by P.~D.~ Cordaro and A.~A.Himonas.

Viscous capillary fluids in fast rotation

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In the present talk we are interested in a singular limit problem for a compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system under the action of strong Coriolis force. This is a model for compressible viscous capillary fluids, when the rotation of the Earth is taken into account. Supposing both the Mach and Rossby numbers to be proportional to a small parameter $\veps$, we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of a family of weak solutions to our model, for $\veps$ going to $0$. We consider this problem in the regimes of both constant and vanishing capillarity: we prove the convergence of the model to $2$-D Quasi-Geostrophic type equations for the limit density function. The case of variations of the rotation axis will be discussed as well.

Global attractors for semilinear parabolic problems involving $X$-elliptic operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We consider semilinear parabolic equations involving an operator that is $X$-elliptic with respect to a family of vector fields $X$ with suitable properties. The vector fields determine the natural functional setting associated to the problem and the admissible growth of the non-linearity. We prove the global existence of solutions and characterize their longtime behavior. In particular, we show the existence and finite fractal dimension of the global attractor of the generated semigroup and the convergence of solutions to an equilibrium solution when time tends to infinity. These results were obtained in collaboration with Alessia E. Kogoj.

Degenerazioni razionali di M-curve e grassmanniane totalmente positive

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In un lavoro in collaborazione con P.G. Grinevich troviamo la connessione fra la teoria delle Grassmanniane totalmente positive e le degenerazioni razionali di M-curve usando la teoria dell'equazione di Kadomtsvev-Petviashvili (KP). Ad ogni punto della grassmanniana reale totalmente positiva $GR^{TNN}_+ (N,M)$ associamo la degenrazione razionale di una M-curva di genere minimo $g=N(M-N)$ e ricostruiamo i dati algebro-geometrici alla Krichever per la corrispondente soluzione multi-solitonica dell'equazione KP. Nel presente seminario spiego l'idea alla base di tale costruzione.

A path along the regularity of solutions to quasilinear elliptic systems

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We present some recent results on the local boundedness and Lipschitz continuity of weak solutions to quasilinear systems and/or local minimizers of vector-valued integral functionals. We consider systems and functionals under non standard p-q growth conditions. Moreover, in this context, the existence of weak solutions is also examined.

Decay of mass and another qualitative properties of solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations in generalized Grushin settings

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

I would like to describe in some way an asymptitoc behaviour of solutions to Cauchy problems for degenerate parabolic equations with p-Laplacian and gradient absorption term in generalized Baouendi-Grushin type settings. Among qualitative properties under the consideration will be existence, Holder continuity and some sharp estimates of radii of the supports of the solutions and essential maximums of solutions. Also the criterion for the mass decay fenomenon will be discussed.

Taylor polynomials for Kolmogorov equations and applications

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Starting from a Kolmogorov equations arising in finance we present a method to obtain approximate solutions of the related Cauchy problem. Error estimates for small time strongly depend on the regularity of the final datum. This is our motivation to define for an homogeneous Kolmogorov operator suitable Holder spaces of every order and prove a Taylor type formula. We also compare our definitions and results with the rich related literature.

The quaternionic Hardy space and the geometry of the unit ball

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Note del seminario

The Hardy space of slice regular functions on the quaternionic unit ball H^2(B) is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In this talk, after an appropriate introduction to the subject, we will see how this property can be exploited to construct a Riemannian metric on B and we will study the geometry arising from this construction. We will also see that, in contrast with the example of the Poincaré metric on the complex unit disc, no Riemannian metric on B is invariant with respect to all slice regular bijective self maps of B. The results presented are obtained in collaboration with Nicola Arcozzi.

Sviluppo asintotico del nucleo del calore al cut locus in geometria sub-Riemanniana

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In questo seminario tratteremo il problema di caratterizzare lo sviluppo asintotico per tempo piccolo del nucleo del calore p_t(x, y) associato al Laplaciano sub-Riemanniano. In particolare, dopo aver ricordato i risultati noti nel caso Riemanniano e sub-Riemanniano, esamineremo l'asintotica del nucleo del calore quando y e' nel cut locus di x (tipicamente quando la distanza sub-Riemanniana d^2(x,\cdot) non e' differenziabile in y). Mostreremo come l'asintotica di p_t(x,y) riflette la struttura delle geodetiche che collegano x con y. Questi risultati (collaborazione con U. Boscain e R. Neel) sono ottenuti estendendo all'ambito sub-Riemanniano una idea di Molchanov per il caso Riemanniano.

Group actions on the sphere and multiplicity results for the CR-Yamabe equation.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We will show that the CR-Yamabe equation has several families of infinitely many changing sign solutions, each of them having different symmetries. The problem is variational but it is not Palais-Smale: using different complex group actions on the sphere, we will find many closed subspaces on which we can apply the minmax argument.

The scattering transform for vector fields and dispersionless integrable PDE's:the Cauchy problem for the Pavlov equation.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Commutation of multidimensional vector fields leads to integrable nonlinear dispersionless PDEs arising in various problems of mathematical physics and intensively studied in the recent literature. This report is aiming to solve the scattering and inverse scattering problem associated with integrable dispersionless PDEs, recently introduced just at a formal level, concentrating on the prototypical example of the Pavlov equation, and to justify an existence theorem for global bounded solutions of the associated Cauchy problem with small data.

Gevrey estimates for resolvent of a class of non-selfadjoint Schrödinger operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

It is known that the boundary values of the resolvent of selfadjoint Schrödinger operator with a slowly decreasing potential is smooth at the threshold zero. In this talk, I shall show that in a more general setting, one has in fact some Gevrey estimates for the resolvent. As applications, we show that local energies of solutions to the associated heat equation and the Schrödinger equation decay subexponentially.

Estimates for the resolvent and spectral gaps for non self-adjoint operators

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

In mathematical physics and dynamical systems one encounters non self-adjoint operators with spectrum not intersecting a strip, called spectral gap. The estimates of the norm of the resolvent of P in the strip play an important role in the investigation of the local decay of the energy, the analysis of the scattering resonances and the analytic continuation of the dynamical zeta function. We will discuss results and open problems concerning the estimate of the inverse of a holomorphic function without zeros in a strip and the estimates of the cut-off resolvent of the Dirichlet Laplacian for trapping perturbations.

A Liouville-type Theorem for a nonlinear and nonlocal problem in the Heisenberg group.

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

We establish a Liouville-type theorem for a subcritical nonlinear problem, involving a fractional power of the sub-Laplacian in the Heisenberg group. To prove our result we will use the local realization of fractional CR covariant operators, which can be constructed as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator of a degenerate elliptic equation in the spirit of Caffarelli and Silvestre. The main tools in our proof are the CR inversion and the moving plane method, applied to the solution of the lifted problem in the half-space $\mathbb{H}^n\times \R^+$. This is a joint work with Jinggang Tan.

We compare these spaces with both the classical modulation spaces and the co-orbit modulation spaces induced by the Dynin-Folland group.

Dimension distortion by Sobolev mappings on the Heisenberg group

The Heisenberg group is equipped with a foliation by horizontal lines that differs substantially from the standard foliation of Euclidean space by lines. We investigate the behavior of Sobolev mappings on this foliation. It is a fundamental property of Sobolev mappings that they are absolutely continuous on almost every line; we estimate the quantity of lines whose image under a Sobolev mapping has dimension at least a fixed number d>1.

Let M be a closed manifold, E, F be complex vector bundles over M, and P be a pseudodifferential operator mapping smooth sections of E to smooth sections of F.

At the end of the talk I will return to ellipticity and discuss some open problems. The talk is based on joint work with H.Jacobowitz (Indiana Univ.

Un risultato di esistenza per l'equazione di Yamabe CR

Dott.Vittorio Martino

In questo seminario proveremo l'esistenza di (infinite) soluzioni a segno non costante per l'equazione di Yamabe CR. Il problema e' variazionale, ma il funzionale associato non soddisfa le condizioni di compattezza di Palais-Smale; mediante una opportuna azione di gruppo si costruira' un sottospazio sul quale sara' comunque possibile applicare un argomento di minimax di tipo Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz. Il risultato risolve una questione rimasta aperta dopo la classificazione delle soluzioni positive fatta da Jerison-Lee negli anni '80.

Vertical curves in the Heisenberg group

Prof. Artem Kozhevnikov

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

We investigate metric properties of level sets of horizontally differentiable maps defined on the first Heisenberg group $(\Bbb{H}^1,d_{cc})$ equipped with the standard sub-Riemannian structure. In particular, we present an exhaustive analysis in a new case of a map $F\in C^1_H(\Bbb{H}^1, \Bbb{R}^2)$ with surjective horizontal differential (an analogue of the classical implicit function theorem). Among other results, we show that a level set of such map is locally a simple curve of Hausdorff sub-Riemannian dimension 2, but, surprisingly, in general its two-dimensional Hausdorff measure can be zero or infinity. Therefore, those level sets (called \textsf{vertical curves}) can be of rough nature and not belong to the class of intrinsic regular manifolds.

Monotonia e Disuguaglianza Isoperimetrica sulle Ipersuperfici dei gruppi di Carnot

nell'ambito della serie: SEMINARI DI ANALISI MATEMATICA BRUNO PINI

analisi matematica

Partirò illustrando una classica disuguaglianza isoperimetrica di Michael e Simon nel caso particolare delle ipersuperfici regolari dello spazio Euclideo n-dimensionale. Questo risultato verrà poi commentato avendo come scopo l'individuazione degli ingredienti-chiave necessari alla sua generalizzazione al contesto non-Euclideo dei gruppi di Carnot. In particolare, illustrerò la cosidetta "disuguaglianza di monotonia". Quindi, dopo aver introdotto le principali notazioni concernenti i gruppi di Carnot, cercherò di illustrare una tecnica che permette di generalizzare a questo setting la disuguaglianza di monotonia, ma in una versione localizzata. Darò poi alcune applicazioni, tra le quali la più importante è una versione generale della disuguaglianza isoperimetrica di Michael e Simon valida per ipersuperfici compatte -con bordo- dei gruppi di Carnot. I risultati di questo seminario si possono trovare, tra gli altri, nel preprint "Isoperimetric, Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities on hypersurfaces in sub-Riemannian Carnot groups", reperibile sul sito Arxiv all'indirizzo: http://arxiv.org/pdf/0910.5656
