Title of the mini-course: Mathematical Aspects of Euler Equations.
Venue: A1A2 hall, CDEEP, IIT Bombay.
We consider the phenomenon of oscillations in the solution families to partial differential equations. To begin, we briefly discuss the mechanisms preventing oscillations/concentrations and make a short excursion in the theory of compensated compactness. Pursuing the philosophy "everything what is not forbidden is allowed" we show that certain problems in fluid dynamics admit oscillatory solutions. This fact gives rise to two rather unexpected and in a way contradictory results: (i) many problems describing inviscid fluid motion in several space dimensions admit global-in-time (weak solution); (ii) the solutions are not determined uniquely by their initial data. We examine the basic analytical tool behind these rather ground breaking results - the method of convex integration applied to problems in fluid mechanics and, in particular, to the Euler system.

Title: Circles in the sand.
Abstract: I will describe the role played by an Apollonian circle packing
in the scaling limit of the abelian sandpile on the square grid Z^2. The
sandpile solves a certain integer optimization problem. Associated to each
circle in the packing is a locally optimal solution to that problem. Each
locally optimal solution can be described by an infinite periodic pattern
of sand, and the patterns associated to any four mutually tangent circles
obey an analogue of the Descartes Circle Theorem. Joint work with Wesley
Pegden and Charles Smart.

Title: Sum rules and large deviations,
Abstract: In a famous paper published in Annals of Mathematics (2003),
Killip and Simon gave a Szegö like theorem for the circular law (sum
rule). The proof of this sum rule relies on mathematical analysis. This
sum rule relates the Kullback-Leibler information with respect to the
semi-circular law to coefficients involved in the recursive construction
of the orthogonal polynomials. Using the theory of large deviations for
random matrices we recover easily this sum rules and provide a full
machinery to establish and prove new ones.

Title: Dynamics in Linear Algebra.
Abstract: In this talk, I shall first give an introduction to the subject
of dynamical systems. After going through a few concepts that arise in
dynamical systems through examples, we see how similar ideas can be
interpreted in the context of linear algebra. In particular, we deal with
finite dimensional complex vector spaces and end by understanding a simple
proof of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. An interesting aspect of this
approach is that we can avoid the machinery of determinants altogether.

Title: Neutron Transport meets Luc Tartar.
Abstract: In this talk, we will address the homogenization of a neutron
transport model while the scattering coefficients in the equation exhibit
rapid oscillations with respect to the energy variable.
It turns out that this problem has very close links to a result of Luc
Tartar from late 1980's. Hence we will be revisiting this paper of Luc
Tartar.
Our discussions will revolve around
(i) Laplace transform and Bernstein's theorem from the theory of Regular
variation
(ii) Nevanlinna-Herglotz function from complex analysis
(iii) Two-scale convergence and Young measures from the theory of
homogenization.
This talk is based on a recent preprint:

Title: Structure breaking by homogenization.
Abstract: In this talk, we will give an alternate (and constructive) proof
to a result of Luc Tartar which demonstrated the loss of semi-group
structure due to the presence of high frequency oscillations in
coefficients. The discussions will revolve around
(i) the notion of weak convergence in Lp spaces;
(ii) the notion of two-scale convergence in the theory of homogenization.
Furthermore, we shall discuss some interesting results in the context of
(i) structure breaking in other differential equations;
(ii) inverse homogenization.
We also intend to list some related open problems which are accessible to
available techniques.

Title: Quantum plane and duality.
Abstract: A quantum analogue of complex plane is the C*-algebra B
"generated" by an unbounded operator n satisfying the commutation relation
n^{*}n=q^{2}nn^{*} for some real number 0
The braiding is governed by the canonical action of the circle group and
the group of integers on n. Moreover, I shall briefly present (generalised
Pontrjagin) duality result for B.

Title: Twenty Questions: Distributional Search Theory.
Abstract: I’m thinking of a person in the audience. How long will it
take you to find whom, using only Yes/No questions?
We consider this puzzle, which underlies search theory, with a twist: I’m
choosing the person according to a known distribution, and your goal is to
minimize the expected number of questions. How does the performance of
your strategy depend on the type of question you’re allowed to ask? On the
type of distribution I am allowed to choose? What happens if I can lie?
