Endpoint sparse domination for oscillatory Fourier multipliers

Sparse domination was first introduced in the context of Calderón--Zygmund theory. Shortly after, the concept was successfully extended to many other operators in Harmonic Analysis, although many endpoint situations have remained unknown. In this talk, we will present new endpoint sparse bounds for oscillatory and Miyachi-type Fourier multipliers using Littlewood—Paley theory. Furthermore, the results can be extended to more general dilation-invariant classes of multiplier transformations via Hardy space techniques, yielding results, for instance, for multi-scale sums of radial bump multipliers.

 

This is joint work with Joris Roos and Andreas Seeger

Parameter Inference in Diffusion-Reaction Models of Glioblastoma Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain tumor that proliferates and infiltrates into the surrounding normal brain tissue. The growth of Glioblastoma is commonly modeled mathematically by diffusion-reaction type partial differential equations (PDEs). These models can be used to predict tumor progression and guide treatment decisions for individual patients. However, this requires parameters and brain anatomies that are patient specific. Inferring patient specific biophysical parameters from medical scans is a very challenging inverse modeling problem because of the lack of temporal data, the complexity of the brain geometry and the need to perform the inference rapidly in order to limit the time between imaging and diagnosis. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a new method to solve PDE parameter inference problems efficiently. PINNs embed both the data the PDE into the loss function of the neural networks by automatic differentiation, thus seamlessly integrating the data and the PDE. In this work, we use PINNs to solve the diffusion-reaction PDE model of glioblastoma and infer biophysical parameters from patient data. The complex brain geometry is handled by the diffuse domain method. We demonstrate the efficiency, accuracy and robustness of our approach.

Constructing Derived Motivic Measures from Six Functors

In this talk, we will show how six functors formalisms (which are central to algebraic geometry) may be used to define derived motivic measures (maps from the K-theory of varieties to other spectra).  In particular, we will use this to construct a derived motivic measurement which lifts the Gillet-Soulé motivic measure.  This addresses a conjecture of Campbell-Wolfson-Zakharevich (in fact, there are potentially several derived lifts).

Introduction to Ricci solitons

In this talk, aimed at graduate students in geometric analysis, we
survey the Ricci soliton equation and some basic results and questions
regarding this equation.

On sharp isoperimetric inequalities on the hypercube

I will talk about sharp isoperimetric inequalities on the hypercube refining several
results due to Kahn--Park and Talagrand.  In the second half of the talk I will present  Talagrand's isoperimetric inequalities
for functions taking values in a Banach space having finite cotype. In addition to that, several different proofs
 of recently resolved Talagrand's conjecture will be presented. 

This is joint with David Beltran and José Ramón Madrid Padilla.
