| 11:00 - 12:00 Lecture Analysis of the linear stability of Ginzburg-Landau vortices School MATHEMATICS In this talk, I'll start by discussing the distorted Fourier transform and its relevance to the study of nonlinear dispersive PDEs. I will then introduce the Ginzburg-Landau equations, some of its variations, and the time-independent solutions known as vortices. Finally, I'll describe recent progress (joint work with Jonas Luhrmann and Wilhelm Schlag) on the study of the linearized equation about degree one vortices using the distorted Fourier transform. A feature of this problem that makes the analysis difficult is the fact that the linearized operator is not self-adjoint.

One intriguing consequence of this rotation is its impact on the chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement phase transitions, a topic that has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this talk, I will review some recent advances in using holographic techniques to explore these rotational effects. Beginning with a basic holographic model, I will discuss its limitations and show how employing more refined m ... 15:30 - 16:30 Lecture On Superluminal Radiation School MATHEMATICS This lecture is an exposition of the work of Dr. Ardavaan-Raad on superluminal radiation and its expected impact in applied physics, engineering and futuristic technological developments. This lecture is dedicated to the memory of Houshang Ardavaan-Raad. Zoom link: https://www.zoom.us/join Meeting ID: 851 5140 7291 Passcode: 362880 Venue: Niavaran, Lecture Hall 1 ... |
