20080512T184005Z23762@128.210.3.176 This meeting is public. Analysis in Electrohydrodynamics
Abstract: I will discuss the existence theory for the equations of EHD, a system of nonlocal parabolic equations coupled via transport to the Navier Stokes equations. Solutions enjoy several nice properties, namely they are energetically dissipative and extend to global solutions in low dimensions. Time permitting I will also discuss some results on the asymptotics of stationary solutions using tools from the calculus of variations.

20080512T184005Z23788@128.210.3.176 This meeting is public.Statistical inference for Stochastic PDEs with applications to fixed income marketWe will discuss a parameter estimation problem for a large class of parabolic Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDE) driven by Gaussian noises, and present two types of estimates for the drift coefficient. Given that the solution of the equation exists in an infinite dimensional space, the obtained estimates obey some interesting properties that have no analogues in finite-dimension case. We will also show how this problem can be applied to fixed income market (modeling forward interest rates). Finally, if time permits, we will touch the basis of regularity properties of some parabolic SPDEs, their implication in modeling forward interest rates, and present some exact estimates of the smoothness of the solution in both variables, space and time.

20080512T184005Z23799@128.210.3.176 This meeting is public. Effects of Coating Materials on Superconducting Systems
Abstract: The physics literature has explored over the years the possibility of increasing the critical parameters of a superconductor, such as critical fields and critical currents, by cold working its surface, or by placing it in contact with either a properly chosen semiconductor or with a different superconductor having larger transition temperature. The available studies suggest as well that larger increases are present in mesoscopic or microscopically small samples. similarly, the presence of a coating normal material gives rise to interesting behaviors in the superconductor. In this talk, we will give a review of some results, obtained via the Ginzburg Landau approach, that analytically recover some of these effects.

Abstract: Exotic containers are vessels containing fluid which for certain volumes support a continuum of non-congruent equilibria. The construction of such vessels was initiated in the work of R. Gulliver-S. Hildebrandt (1986) and greatly expanded in papers of P. Concus - R. Finn (1989). In this lecture we introduce families of exotic capillary tubes. Such tubes, whose construction is not so difficult, exhibit some very surprising properties. We discuss the construction of these tubes along with their strange behavior.
