Aspects of gauge-strings duality

Carlos Nunez
(Swansea)
Abstract

I will discuss recently published examples of SCFTs in
two dimensions and their dual backgrounds. Aspects of the
integrability of these string backgrounds will be described in
correspondence with those of the dual SCFTs. The comparison with four and
six dimensional examples will be presented. It time allows, the case of
conformal quantum mechanics will also be addressed.

Oxford Mathematics welcomes the announcement from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) of major new funding for the mathematical sciences. Professor Mike Giles, Head of Department, said "I am delighted to see UKRI's announcement of major new funding for the mathematical sciences. I think this recognises the huge impact of mathematical sciences in the whole economy, as well as in the NHS and other aspects of public life.

Functional calculus for analytic Besov functions

Charles Batty
(Oxford)
Abstract

There is a class $\mathcal{B}$ of analytic Besov functions on a half-plane, with a very simple description.   This talk will describe a bounded functional calculus $f \in \mathcal{B} \mapsto f(A)$ where $-A$ is the generator of either a bounded $C_0$-semigroup on Hilbert space or a bounded analytic semigroup on a Banach space.    This calculus captures many known results for such operators in a unified way, and sometimes improves them.   A discrete version of the functional calculus was shown by Peller in 1983.

Sobolev embeddings, rearrangement-invariant spaces and Frostman measures

Lenka Slavíková
(University of Bonn)
Abstract

In this talk, we discuss Sobolev embeddings into rearrangement-invariant function spaces on (regular) domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ endowed with measures whose decay on balls is dominated by a power $d$ of their radius, called $d$-Frostman measures. We show that these embeddings can be deduced from one-dimensional inequalities for an operator depending on $n$, $d$ and the order $m$ of the Sobolev space. We also point out an interesting feature of this theory - namely that the results take a substantially different form depending on whether the measure is decaying fast ($d\geq n-m$) or slowly ($d<n-m$). This is a
joint work with Andrea Cianchi and Lubos Pick.

The $L^1$ semi-group of the multi-dimensional Burgers equation

Denis Serre
(École Normale Supérieure de Lyon)
Abstract

The Kruzkhov's semi-group of a scalar conservation law extends as a semi-group over $L^1$, thanks to its contraction property. M. Crandall raised in 1972 the question of whether its trajectories can be distributional, entropy solutions, or if they are only "abstract" solutions. We solve this question in the case of the multi-dimensional Burgers equation, which is a paradigm for non-degenerate conservation laws. Our answer is the consequence of dispersive estimates. We first establish $L^p$-decay rate by applying the recently discovered phenomenon of Compensated Integrability. The $L^\infty$-decay follows from a De Giorgi-style argument. This is a collaboration with Luis Sivestre (University of Chicago).

Regularity and rigidity results for nonlocal minimal graphs

Matteo Cozzi
(University of Bath)
Abstract

Nonlocal minimal surfaces are hypersurfaces of Euclidean space that minimize the fractional perimeter, a geometric functional introduced in 2010 by Caffarelli, Roquejoffre, and Savin in connection with phase transition problems displaying long-range interactions.

In this talk, I will introduce these objects, describe the most important progresses made so far in their analysis, and discuss the most challenging open questions.

I will then focus on the particular case of nonlocal minimal graphs and present some recent results obtained on their regularity and classification in collaboration with X. Cabre, A. Farina, and L. Lombardini.
