Organising Committee:
Stefanos Aretakis (Princeton, USA) and Nikos Katzourakis (Reading, UK)
Course outline:
The school will cover important recent developments in three central areas of mathematical analysis, namely Calculus of Variations, Geometric nonlinear PDE and Mathematical Physics. For each of these research areas there will be a course consisting of two mini-courses as follows
Course 1: Nonlinear PDE and Calculus of Variations Lawrence C. Evans (Berkeley, USA) Nonlinear PDE and optimisation Jan Kristensen (Oxford, UK) Convexity notions in the Calculus of Variations
Course 2: Geometric hyperbolic PDE, General Relativity & Fluid Dynamics Mihalis Dafermos (Princeton, USA & Cambridge, UK) The stability problem for black holes Gustav Holzegel (Imperial College London, UK) The formation of shocks in three dimensional fluid dynamics
Course 3: Geometric nonlinear PDE Bernard Dacorogna (EPFL, CH) The pull-back equation for differential forms Spyros Alexakis (Toronto, CAN) Geometric inverse problems and PDE The school will also include distinguished guest lectures given by: Robert Jensen Loyola University of Chicago (USA), Juan Manfredi Pittsburgh (USA) Obstacle problems for the p-Laplacian via optimal stopping of Tug-of-War games
Course Material
Course material will be become available after the completion of the school.
