Séminaire d'analyse (archives)

First I will describe a new pseudodifferential calculus for (pseudo-)Riemannian spaces, which in our opinion (my, D.Siemssen's and A.Latosiński's) is the most appropriate way to study operators on such a manifold. I will briefly describe its applications to computations of the asymptotics the heat kernel and Green's operator on RIemannian manifolds. Then I will discuss analogous applications to Lorentzian manifolds, relevant for QFT on curved spaces. I will mention an intriguing question of the self-adjointness of the Klein-Gordon operator. I will describe the construction of the (distinguished) Feynman propagator on asymptotically static spacetimes.

14h, Peter Topalov : On the group of almost periodic diffeomorphisms and its exponential map

We define the group of almost periodic diffeomorphisms on the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^n$. We then study the properties of its Riemannian and Lie group exponential map and provide applications to fluid dynamics.

15h, Alexei Iantchenko : Semiclassical inverse problems for elastic surface waves in isotropic media

We carry out a semiclassical analysis of surface waves in Earth which is stratified near its boundary at some scale comparable to the wave length.

We first show a dimensionless weighted $L^2$ estimate for the Bakry Riesz vector on Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry by exhibiting a concrete Bellman function. Then, using a Gundy-Varopoulos type stochastic representation of the Bakry Riesz vector, we use a sparse domination with continuous parameter which offers a new dimensionless, sharp $L^p$ estimate in the weighted setting.

The Efimov effect is one of the interesting spectral properties of three-body systems. It asserts that if all the two-body subsystems do not have negative eigenvalues and have a resonance at zero energy, then the total system has an infinite number of negative eigenvalues accumulating at the origin. The effect holds only in dimension three. In recent physics papers, it has been reported to remain true even in dimension two or one under certain conditions. I talk about these results from a mathematical point of view.

L'exposé commencera par rappeler des faits élémentaires sur la stabilité des équilibres des équations différentielles hamiltoniennes.

Ensuite, motivé par des applications aux fluides capillaires ou aux équations de Schrödinger non linéaires, je discuterai des propriétés de stabilité --- co-périodique ou modulationelle --- des ondes périodiques des systèmes de type Euler--Korteweg ou des équations de type Korteweg--de Vries. L'accent sera mis d'une part sur les liens avec l'intégrale d'action associée aux équations de profil et d'autre part sur les limites harmonique/faible amplitude et soliton/grande période.

La plupart des résultats sont issus d'une série de travaux principalement réalisés avec Sylvie Benzoni-Gavage (Lyon 1/IHP).
