Title: Isolated singularities of solutions to the Yamabe equation. II.

Abstract: I will talk about the asymptotic behavior of local solutions to the Yamabe equation near an isolated singularity, when the metric is not locally conformally flat. I will show that when the dimension is less than or equal to 6, any solution is asymptotic to a radially symmetric Fowler solution. This is based on two papers: F. Marques 2008 for dimensions less than 6 and a recent preprint of L. Zhang and myself for dimension 6. When the metric is locally conformally flat, the above mentioned asymptotic behavior holds in all dimensions, which was proved in the classical paper of Caffarelli-Gidas and Spruck 1989. See also an important refinement due to Korevaar, Mazzeo, Pacard and Schoen 1999.

Title: Construction of a Smooth, Compactly-Supported Solution to the Three-Dimensional Stationary Euler Equations

Abstract: It is an expository talk about the work of Constantin, La, and Vicol in 2019. In this paper, they constructed a smooth, compactly-supported solution to the stationary Euler equations in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. To do so, they seek for axisymmetric solutions and use some specific ansatz, which leads to Hicks equation (equivalent to Grad-Shafranov equation). A solution to Hicks equation have meaning as a stream function of a solution to the Euler equations. They try to construct a solution to Hicks equation, satisfying some additional condition called localization. To construct a solution to Hicks equation with the localization condition, they use some transformation called hodograph. Majority of it boils down to existence of a solution to some ODEs. This leads to a smooth solution to the Euler equation (with some nice properties deduced from the localization condition) but it does not necessarily have compact support. Thanks to the localization condition, finally they can 'localize' the solution that they have found. In other words, they can immediately generate another solution with compact support. (This paper is inspired by the work of A. V. Gavrilov in 2019 about the Euler equations.)

Title: Shear Flows of Euler Equations in a Two-dimensional Strip.

Abstract: It is an expository talk about the work of François Hamel and Nikolai Nadirashvili in 2017. They proved that, in a two-dimensional strip, a steady flow of Euler equations with tangential boundary conditions and with no stationary point is a shear flow. The proof is based on the study of geometric properties of the streamlines of the flow and on one-dimensional symmetry results for solutions of some semi-linear elliptic equations.

Speaker: Dennis Kriventsov, Rutgers University

Title: The Alt-Caffarelli functional with volume constraint.

Abstract: I will discuss an old, classic example from free boundary theory: minimizing the Alt-Caffarelli functional with volume constraint. The paper is based on an obvious idea: finding it difficult to deal with a constraint, we replace it with a penalization. The catch is that the penalized functional is not differentiable with respect to domain variations, while the estimates available for it all seem to depend on the penalization parameter. This example explains how sometimes, on good days, one may still obtain Euler-Lagrange equations for non-differentiable functionals, and sometimes if you penalize correctly, the penalized and constrained problems turn out to have identical minimizers. While the example is free boundary based, I think the insights are applicable to many calculus of variations problems.

Title: Existence of solutions of the steady Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains with pipe ends

Abstract: I will present a paper of Amick 1977, where he proved an existence result of the Navier-Stokes flow in unbounded domains with pipe ends. Those flows converge to Poiseuille flows at the ends. Amick assumed that the viscosity coefficient is greater than some positive constant $\nu_0$. Without this assumption, the existence is still OPEN.

Title: A Liouville Theorem for Weak Beltrami Flows

Abstract: Abstract: This is an expository talk about the work of Dongho Chae and Jörg Wolf in 2016. They established a Liouville theorem for weak Beltrami flows in three dimensional Euclidean space. The sufficient condition that they impose in order to ensure the triviality of such flows is that some sort of tangential part of the flow decays at infinity in some weak sense (with no assumption on the normal part). This theorem is a generalization of all the known results of this problem. The main idea is to test the Euler equations against some simple vector fields over a ball and over an annulus.

Title: Reading report of Kato's pioneering paper on $L^p$ solutions to Navier Stokes equations

Abstract: In a paper published in 1984, Kato made an important observation that one can obtain global existence of solution for Navier Stokes if the initial data is small in $L^3(R^3)$, which is scale invariant for Navier Stokes. Various applications to long time decay of solutions were also given. I will explain these results and if time permits, review some recent progress on the Cauchy problem with initial data in scale invariant spaces.

Title: Generic singularities of the mean curvature flow. II

Abstract: It has long been conjectured that starting at a generic smooth closed embedded surface in R^3 the mean curvature flow remains smooth until it arrives at a sing ularity in a neighborhood of which the flow looks like concentric spheres or cyl inders. That is, the only singularities of a generic flow are spherical or cylin drical. The key in showing this conjecture is to show that shrinking spheres, cy linders and planes are the only stable self-shrinkers under the mean curvature f low. That was proved by Colding and Minicozzi and we will discuss parts of their paper.

Title: A theorem of Leray on Navier-Stokes equations and an open problem, I

Abstract: This is the first of two expository talks. We will present a proof of a classic theorem of Jean Leray on the nonhomogeneous steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a two dimensional domain. The theorem establishes the existence of a solution when the prescribed boundary velocity has zero flux through each boundary component. It remains up-to-date a challenging open problem whether the existence result holds under the (weaker) compatibility condition that the total velocity flux through the boundary is equal to zero. We will also give a brief survey on partial results on the open problem. Both talks are meant to be accessible to first year graduate students.
