Abstract: In this talk we present a perturbative proof of the asymptotic stability of the solitary wave solutions for the 1D focusing cubic Schrödinger equation under small perturbations in weighted Sobolev spaces. The strategy of our proof is based on the space-time resonances approach, using the distorted Fourier transform and modulation techniques to capture the asymptotic behavior of the solution. A major difficulty throughout the nonlinear analysis is the slow local decay of the radiation term caused by the threshold resonances in the spectrum of the linearized operator around the solitary wave. The presence of favorable null structures in the quadratic terms mitigates this problem through the use of normal form transformations.

Abstract: The CAO-problem concerns a system of two fluids described by two primitive equations coupled by nonlinear interface conditions. Lions, Temam and Wang proved in their pioneering work the existence of a weak solution to the CAO-system. Its uniqueness remained an open problem.
In this talk, we show that this coupled CAO-system is globally strongly well-posed for large data in critical Besov spaces. The approach presented relies on an optimal data result for the boundary terms in the linearized system in terms of time-space Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. Boundary terms are controlled by paraproduct methods.
This talk is based on joint work with Tim Binz, Matthias Hieber and Tarek Zöchling.

Abstract: Sub-Riemannian geometries arise naturally in quantum mechanics and control theory, yet fundamental questions about quantum dynamics remain open, suggesting that new microlocal tools are needed to extend classical results to these singular geometries.
I will present a pseudodifferential calculus for filtered manifolds with operator-valued symbols built using representation theory of nilpotent groups. The key innovation is an explicit quantization procedure for noncommutative symbols adapted to the filtration, extending the Van Erp-Yuncken calculus while maintaining essential properties: closure under composition, parametrices, and Sobolev continuity.
This framework enables systematic microlocal analysis on equiregular sub-Riemannian manifolds. This is joint work with Véronique Fischer and Clotilde Fermanian-Kammerer.

Abstract: Interacting systems of particles and waves are foundational in many natural phenomena. This talk will outline mathematical approaches for deriving effective, statistical descriptions of such many-body dynamics by connecting them to solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. Key examples include (i) the Boltzmann equation, which emerges as a limit of interacting hard spheres, (ii) the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which describes quantum particle dynamics initialized near a Bose-Einstein condensate, (iii) the Vlasov equation, which is an effective model for both non-collisional particles evolving under Newtonian dynamics or as a semiclassical limit of fermionic interactions, and (iv) the kinetic wave equations, which model the statistical behavior of interacting waves. I will discuss my joint work on each of these equations, highlighting how to frame these PDEs as limits of the underlying particle or wave dynamics. Time permitting, I will discuss ongoing work on deriving a Boltzmann mean field game from a jump diffusion process.

Abstract: We construct global-in-time classical solutions to the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell system in a three-dimensional half-space beyond the vacuum scattering regime. We also prove dynamical asymptotic stability under general perturbations in the full three-dimensional nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell system.

Abstract: In this talk, we present an optimal $L^4$-Strichartz estimate for the Schrödinger equation on the two-dimensional rational torus $\mathbb{T}^2$. We first recall the previously known results and counterexamples on the Strichartz estimates on the torus. Then we present our new Strichartz estimate, which has an optimal amount of loss, and the small-data global well-posedness of (mass-critical) the cubic NLS in $H^s,s>0$ as its consequence. An intuition for the relation between them is then provided. Our Strichartz estimate is based on a combinatorial proof. We introduce our key proposition, the Szemerédi-Trotter theorem, and explain the idea of the proof. This is a joint work with Sebastian Herr.

Abstract: Despite the small scales involved, the compressible Euler equations seem to be a good model even in the presence of shocks. Introducing viscosity is one way to resolve some of these small-scale effects. In this talk, we examine the vanishing viscosity limit near the formation of a generic shock in one spatial dimension for a class of viscous conservation laws which includes compressible Navier Stokes. We provide an asymptotic expansion in viscosity of the viscous solution via the help of matching approximate solutions constructed in regions where the viscosity is perturbative and where it is dominant. Furthermore, we recover the inviscid (singular) solution in the limit, and we uncover universal structure in the viscous correctors. This is joint work with John Anderson and Cole Graham.

Abstract: In this talk, I will present recent joint work with Philip Isett (Caltech), Yuchen Mao (UC Berkeley), and Zhongkai Tao (IHÉS) that introduces a new versatile approach to constructing integral solution operators (i.e., right-inverses up to finite rank operators) for a broad class of underdetermined operators, including the divergence operator, linearized scalar curvature operator, and the linearized Einstein constraint operator. They are optimally regularizing and, more interestingly, have prescribed support properties (e.g., produce compactly supported solutions for compactly supported forcing terms). My goal is to (1) describe our approach, (2) demonstrate how it generalizes the well-known construction of Bogovskii, which has proved very useful in fluid dynamics, and (3) explain how it connects underdetermined PDEs with the rich literature on the dual problem on overdetermined differential operators.

Abstract: Yudovich established the well-posedness of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations for solutions with bounded vorticity. DiPerna and Majda proved the existence of weak solutions with vorticity in $L^p (p > 1)$. A celebrated open question is whether the uniqueness result can be generalized to solutions with $L^p$ vorticity. In this talk, we resolve this question in negative for some $p > 1$. To prove nonuniqueness, we devise a new convex integration scheme that employs non-periodic, spatially-anisotropic perturbations, an idea that was inspired by our recent work on the transport equation. To construct the perturbation, we introduce a new family of building blocks based on the Lamb-Chaplygin dipole. This is a joint work with Elia Bruè and Maria Colombo.
