17/06/24 Seminario 15:00 16:00 1201 Tan Bui-Thanh University of Texas at Austin Learn2Solve: A Deep Learning Framework for Real-Time Solutions of Forward, Inverse, and UQ Problems

Digital models (DMs) are designed to be replicas of systems and processes. At the core of a digital model (DM) is a physical/mathematical model that captures the behavior of the real system across temporal and spatial scales. One of the key roles of DMs is enabling “what if” scenario testing of hypothetical simulations to understand the implications at any point throughout the life cycle of the process, to monitor the process, to calibrate parameters to match the actual process and to quantify the uncertainties. In this talk, we will present various (faster than) real-time Scientific Deep Learning (SciDL) approaches for forward, inverse, and UQ problems. Both theoretical and numerical results for various problems including transport, heat, Burgers, (transonic and supersonic) Euler, and Navier-Stokes equations will be presented.

On distributions of positive type and applications to QFT

When quantum fields are represented as operators on a Hilbert space, their two-point distributions naturally give rise to distributions of positive type. A number of basic results on such distributions, especially for translation invariant two-point distributions, have been known for a long time. E.g., the Bochner-Schwartz Theorem fully characterises translation invariant distributions of positive type. In this talk I will present two apparently new results on distributions of positive type, one pertaining to pointwise products and the other to methods for cutting and pasting. Both results were motivated by physical questions and extend the toolbox of theoretical physics. I will present the results in a general mathematical context before discussing their applications to quantum energy inequalities and to separable states for a free scalar QFT.

"Bundles on quantum projective varieties and their differential geometry"
N.B.: this talk is part of the activity of the MIUR Excellence Department Project Mat-Mod@TOV (CUP E83C23000330006)

  We study quantum principal bundles on projective varieties using a sheaf theoretic approach. Differential calculi are introduced in this context. The main class of examples is given by covariant calculi over quantum flag manifolds, which we provide via an explicit Ore extension construction. We next introduce principal covariant calculi by requiring a local compatibility of the calculi on the total sheaf, base sheaf and the structure Hopf algebra in terms of exact sequences. The examples of principal (covariant) calculi on the quantum principal bundles SLq(2,C) and GLq(2,C) over the projective space P1(C) are presented.

      Asymptotic Analysis and Uniqueness of blowup solutions of non-quantized singular mean field equations  

For singular mean field equations defined on a compact Riemann surface, we prove the uniqueness of bubbling solutions when blowup points are either regular points or non-quantized singular sources. In particular the uniqueness result covers the most general case extending or improving all previous works. For example, unlike previous results, we drop the assumption of singular sources being critical points of a suitably defined Kirchoff-Routh type functional. Our argument is based on refined estimates, robust and flexible enough to be applied to a wide range of problems requiring a delicate blowup analysis. In particular we come up with a major simplification of previous uniqueness proofs. This is a joint work with Daniele Bartolucci and Wen Yang.

06/06/24 Seminario 14:30 15:30 1201 John Pearson University of Edinburgh Recent Developments in the Numerical Solution of PDE-Constrained Optimization Problems

Optimization problems subject to PDE constraints form a mathematical tool that can be applied to a wide range of scientific processes, including fluid flow control, medical imaging, option pricing, biological and chemical processes, and electromagnetic inverse problems, to name a few. These problems involve minimizing some function arising from a particular physical objective, while at the same time obeying a system of PDEs which describe the process. It is necessary to obtain accurate solutions to such problems within a reasonable CPU time, in particular for time-dependent problems, for which the “all-at-once” solution can lead to extremely large linear systems. In this talk we consider iterative methods, in particular Krylov subspace methods, to solve such systems, accelerated by fast and robust preconditioning strategies. In particular, we will survey several new developments, including block preconditioners for fluid flow control problems, a circulant preconditioning framework for solving certain optimization problems constrained by fractional differential equations, and multiple saddle-point preconditioners for block tridiagonal linear systems. We will illustrate the benefit of using these new approaches through a range of numerical experiments. This talk is based on work with Santolo Leveque (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa), Spyros Pougkakiotis (Yale University), Jacek Gondzio (University of Edinburgh), and Andreas Potschka (TU Clausthal). This talk is part of the activity of the MUR Excellence Department Project MatMod@TOV (CUP E83C23000330006).

“Supercritical KPZ equations”

  Like many discrete statistical mechanics models, stochastic PDEs can exhibit a “critical dimen-sion” beyond which their large-scale behaviour is expected to be trivial (i.e. governed by Gaussian fluc-tuations). While such sweeping heuristics allow us to formulate rather precise conjectures, there are relatively few cases where these have actually been proven. In this talk, we will mainly focus on the KPZ equation, a standard model of interface fluctuations. There has recently been substantial progress in our mathematical understanding of its large-scale behaviour in the supercritical regime.

Ergodic states on type III_1 factors and ergodic actions

I will report on a joint work with Amine Marrakchi. Since the early days of Tomita-Takesaki theory, it is known that a von Neumann algebra that admits a state with trivial centralizer must be a type III_1 factor, but the converse remained open. I will present a solution of this problem, proving that such ergodic states form a dense G_delta set among all normal states on any III_1 factor with separable predual. Through Connes' Radon-Nikodym cocycle theorem, this problem is related to the existence of ergodic cocycle perturbations for outer group actions, which I will discuss in the second half of the talk.

On the stochastic Sine-Gordon model: an AQFT perspective

We investigate the massive Sine-Gordon model in the finite ultraviolet regime on the two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime with an additive Gaussian white noise. In particular we construct the expectation value and the correlation functions of a solution of the underlying stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) as a power series in the coupling constant, proving ultimately uniform convergence. This result is obtained combining an approach to study SPDEs at a perturbative level which a recent analysis of the quantum sine-Gordon model using techniques proper of the perturbative, algebraic approach to quantum field theory (pAQFT). This is a joint work with A. Bonicelli and P. Rinaldi, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.01558

Irreducibility of Severi varieties on toric surfaces

Severi varieties parametrize integral curves of fixed geometric genus in a given linear system on a surface. In this talk, I will discuss the classical question of whether Severi varieties are irreducible and its relation to the irreducibility of other moduli spaces of curves. I will indicate how tropical methods can be used to answer such irreducibility questions. The new results are from ongoing joint work with Xiang He and Ilya Tyomkin.

"Dual Coxeter groups of rank three"
N.B.: this talk is part of the activity of the MIUR Excellence Department Project Mat-Mod@TOV (CUP E83C23000330006)

  In this presentation, I will discuss the combinatorics of the noncrossing partition posets associated with Coxeter groups of rank three. In particular, I will describe the techniques used to prove the lattice property and lexicographic shellability. These properties can then be used to solve several problems on the corresponding Artin groups, such as the K(π,1) conjecture, the word problem, the center problem, and the isomorphism between standard and dual Artin groups.
  This is joint work with Emanuele Delucchi and Mario Salvetti.
