Singularities in water waves and drops
Abstract
The search for singularities in incompressible fluids has become a major challenge in the area of nonlinear and nonlocal partial differential equations. In particular, the existence, or absence, of finite-time singularities with finite energy remains an open problem for the 3D incompressible Euler equations in the absence of boundaries or in the periodic setting.
A key ingredient in the success of proving the formation of singularities is to identify a scenario in which there is a clear mechanism developing fast vorticity growth, and accurate numerics plays a crucial role in this search.
In this talk, I will discuss on recent progress in the study of the dynamics of the incompressible free boundary Euler equations: water waves and drops. In particular I will focus in two plausible singular scenarios discovered first by numerical simulations which led later to a rigorous proof.
Global Attractors
Abstract
In 1960, Markus and Yamabe proposed a dynamical conjecture. In this talk I’m going to explain the history of its solution and its relationship with the classical Jacobian Conjecture in the polynomial case.
After, I’ll present some results on the discrete version of this conjecture, studying also other conditions on global attractors stablished by La Salle in his book “The Stability of Dynamical Systems”. We give affirmative results as well as some counterexamples.
The talk is based in several papers made in colaboration with Armengol Gasull and Francesc Mañosas..
