Title: Integral formulas for under/overdetermined differential operators via recovery on curves and the finite-dimensional cokernel condition
Abstract:
Underdetermined differential operators arise naturally in diverse areas of physics and geometry, including the divergence-free condition for incompressible fluids, the linearized scalar curvature operator in Riemannian geometry, and the constraint equations in general relativity. The duals of underdetermined operators, which are overdetermined, also play a significant role. In this talk, I will present recent joint work with Philip Isett (Caltech), Yuchen Mao (UC Berkeley), and Zhongkai Tao (IHÉS) that introduces a novel approach - called recovery on curves - to constructing integral solution/representation formulas (i.e., right-/left-inverses) for a broad class of under/overdetermined operators via solving ODEs on curves. They are optimally regularizing and have prescribed support properties (e.g., produce compactly supported solutions for compactly supported forcing terms). A key feature of our approach is a simple algebraic condition on the principal symbol - called the finite-dimensional cokernel (FC) condition - that implies the applicability of our method. This condition simplifies and unifies various treatments of related problems in the literature. If time permits, I will discuss applications to studying the flexibility of initial data sets in general relativity.

Title: Non-Uniqueness and Flexibility in Two-Dimensional Euler Equations
Abstract:
In 1962, Yudovich established the well-posedness of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations for solutions with bounded vorticity. However, uniqueness within the broader class of solutions with L^p vorticity remains a key unresolved question. In this talk, I will survey recent advances on this problem and present new nonuniqueness results, obtained via the convex integration method. This work is in collaboration with Colombo and Kumar.

 

Date:  Tuesday, 14 Oct. 2025, 15:00-16:00 TST (GMT+8) , in Room M212 in NTNU Gongguan Campus Mathematics Building
Speaker: Dr. Jaemin Park (Yonsei University) 
Title: No anomalous dissipation in two dimensional fluids   
Abstract:
In this talk, we will discuss Leray-Hopf solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with vanishing viscosity. We explore important features of turbulence, focusing around the anomalous energy dissipation phenomenon. As a related result, I will present a recent result proving that for two-dimensional fluids, assuming that the initial vorticity is merely a Radon measure with nonnegative singular part, there is no anomalous energy dissipation. Our proof draws on several key observations from the work of J. Delort (1991) on constructing global weak solutions to the Euler equation. We will also discuss possible extensions to the viscous SQG equation in the context of Hamiltonian conservation and existence of weak solutions for a rough initial data. This is a joint work with Mikael Latocca (Univ. Evry) and Luigi De Rosa (GSSI).

Title: Twisted bilinear spherical maximal functions   
Abstract:
In this talk, we will discuss \(L^{p}\)-estimates for the full and lacunary maximal functions associated with the twisted bilinear spherical averages given by \[ \mathcal{U}_t(f_1,f_2)(x,y) = \int_{S^{2d-1}} f_1(x+t z_1,\, y)\, f_2(x,\, y+t z_2)\, d\sigma(z_1,z_2), \ t>0, \] for all dimensions \(d \ge 1\).

Title: Fourier frames on measures with Fourier decay   
Abstract:
In this talk we shall discuss the (non)existence of Fourier frames on measures with Fourier decay. In dimension 2 and higher we only focus on surfaces with nonvanishing Gaussian curvature, while in the unit interval we consider all existing constructions of Salem measures in the literature.
