<li><p>
Mauro Mariani: <b><a href='/seminar/670/'>The low temperature limit of Dirichlet energies</a></b><br />
Aula Marie Curie, Scuola Normale Superiore, 10:30<br /> </p>
<div style="font-size: smaller;"><p>Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold equipped with a reference measure $m$ with density $\exp(- V/T)$ with respect to the volume measure, where $V$ represents a potential and the positive constant $T$ represents the temperature. The Dirichlet energy with reference measure m is a classical functional defined on the space of probability measures on $M$. I will discuss the variational convergence of such a functional in the limit $T \to 0$. In particular, if $V$ is not convex, a non-trivial expansion by $\Gamma$-convergence holds under generic hypotheses on $V$.
The results are based on a joint work with G. DiGesu (TU Wien).</p>

<h3>Tue 18 December 2018</h3><ul>
<li><p>
Thierry Paul: <b><a href='/seminar/671/'>Quantum Wasserstein "distances" and optimal transport</a></b><br />
Aula Fermi, Scuola Normale Superiore, 14:00<br /> </p>
<div style="font-size: smaller;"><p>I will define a quantum analogue to the Wasserstein distance of order two between density operators, namely positive trace one operators on Hilbert spaces. I will give first properties, in particular the link with usual Wasserstien distance between positive symbols of the quantum densities and show how they define a topology more adapted to the classical limit than the one defined by Schatten classes. Finally i will present recent results obtained with E. Caglioti and F. Golse concerning a quantum version of the Brenier optimal transport Theorem.</p>

<h3>Wed 19 December 2018</h3><ul>
<li><p>
Andreas Savas-Halilaj: <b><a href='/seminar/669/'>Lagrangian mean curvature flow of Whitney spheres</a></b><br />
Sala Seminari (Dipartimento di Matematica di Pisa), 17:00<br /> </p>
<div style="font-size: smaller;"><p>We investigate the evolution under the mean curvature flow
of an equivariant Lagrangian sphere. It is shown that under a convexity
assumption on the Ricci curvature, the flow develops a type-II singularity
that rescales to the product of a grim reaper with a flat Lagrangian space.
In particular this result applies to the Whitney sphere. This is joint work
with K. Smoczyk.</p>
