The differential model problem is converted into a Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) in the time domain, which is then written into an energy-dependent weak form successively discretized by a Galerkin-type approach. Taking into account the space-time model problem of 2D soft-scattering of acoustic waves by obstacles described by open arcs by B-spline (or NURBS) parametrizations, the aim of this paper is to introduce the powerful Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) approach into Energetic BEM for what concerns discretization in space variables. The same computational benefits already observed for IGA-BEM in the case of elliptic (i.e., static) problems, is emphasized here because it is gained at every step of the time-marching procedure. Numerical issues for an efficient integration of weakly singular kernels, related to the fundamental solution of the wave operator and dependent on the propagation wavefront, will be described. Effective numerical results will be given and discussed, showing, from a numerical point of view, convergence and accuracy of the proposed method, as well as the superiority of IGA-Energetic BEM compared to the standard version of the method, which employs classical Lagrangian basis functions.}, keywords = {energetic BEM, Isogeometric Analysis, soft-scattering, wave propagation}, isbn = {2227-7390}, author = {Aimi, Alessandra and Boiardi, Ariel S.} } @article {2022, title = {Indeterminacy estimates, eigenfunctions and lower bounds on Wasserstein distances}, volume = {61}, year = {2022}, month = {2022/05/05}, pages = {131}, abstract = {

In the paper we prove two inequalities in the setting of $$\mathsf {RCD}(K,\infty )$$spaces using similar techniques. The first one is an indeterminacy estimate involving the p-Wasserstein distance between the positive part and the negative part of an $$L^{\infty }$$function and the measure of the interface between the positive part and the negative part. The second one is a conjectured lower bound on the p-Wasserstein distance between the positive and negative parts of a Laplace eigenfunction.

We prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for the class of metric measure spaces verifying the synthetic Ricci curvature lower bounds Measure Contraction property (MCP(0, N)) and having Euclidean volume growth at infinity. We avoid the classical use of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, not available for MCP(0, N), and of the PDE approach, not available in the singular setting.

We consider an n{\texttimes}n linear system of ODEs with an irregular singularity of Poincar\'e rank 1 at z=$\infty$, holomorphically depending on parameter t within a polydisc in Cn centred at t=0. The eigenvalues of the leading matrix at z=$\infty$ coalesce along a locus Δ contained in the polydisc, passing through t=0. Namely, z=$\infty$ is a resonant irregular singularity for t∈Δ. We analyse the case when the leading matrix remains diagonalisable at Δ. We discuss the existence of fundamental matrix solutions, their asymptotics, Stokes phenomenon and monodromy data as t varies in the polydisc, and their limits for t tending to points of Δ. When the deformation is isomonodromic away from Δ, it is well known that a fundamental matrix solution has singularities at Δ. When the system also has a Fuchsian singularity at z=0, we show under minimal vanishing conditions on the residue matrix at z=0 that isomonodromic deformations can be extended to the whole polydisc, including Δ, in such a way that the fundamental matrix solutions and the constant monodromy data are well defined in the whole polydisc. These data can be computed just by considering the system at fixed t=0. Conversely, if the t-dependent system is isomonodromic in a small domain contained in the polydisc not intersecting Δ, if the entries of the Stokes matrices with indices corresponding to coalescing eigenvalues vanish, then we show that Δ is not a branching locus for the fundamental matrix solutions. The importance of these results for the analytic theory of Frobenius Manifolds is explained. An application to Painlev\'e equations is discussed.

We investigate the integrability of two-dimensional invariant distributions (tangent sub-bundles) which arise naturally in the context of dynamical systems on 3-manifolds. In particular, we prove unique integrability of dynamically dominated and volume-dominated Lipschitz continuous invariant decompositions as well as distributions with some other regularity conditions.

Inspired by the work of Molino, we show that the integrability obstruction for transitive Lie algebroids can be made to vanish by adding extra dimensions. In particular, we prove that the Weinstein groupoid of a non-integrable transitive and abelian Lie algebroid, is the quotient of a finite dimensional Lie groupoid. Two constructions as such are given: First, explaining the counterexample to integrability given by Almeida and Molino, we see that it can be generalized to the construction of an "Almeida-Molino" integrable lift when the base manifold is simply connected. On the other hand, we notice that the classical de Rham isomorphism provides a universal integrable algebroid. Using it we construct a "de Rham" integrable lift for any given transitive Abelian Lie algebroid.

Generalized Killing spinor equations are derived from the consistency of supersymmetry algebrae and solved in the case of four manifolds admitting a U(1) isometry.

The building blocks of the resulting partition function are shown to contain the three point functions and the conformal blocks of Liouville Gravity. {\textbullet} in Chapter 3, we provide a contour integral formula for the exact partition function of N = 2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories on compact toric four-manifolds by means of supersymmetric localisation.

Nekrasov.

For a single M5 brane, we find that the exact partition function of the 5d quiver gauge theory matches the 6d (1, 0) index, which we compute by letter counting.

Three are the main results which we collect in this work. The first and the second result (denoted in the thesis by Theorem A and Theorem B respectively) deal with the following problem. The most comprehensive result about existence, uniqueness and stability of the solution to the Cauchy problem \begin{equation}\tag{$\mathcal C$} \label{E:abstract} \begin{cases} u_t + F(u)_x = 0, \\u(0, x) = \bar u(x), \end{cases} \end{equation} where $F: \R^N \to \R^N$ is strictly hyperbolic, $u = u(t,x) \in \R^N$, $t \geq 0$, $x \in \R$, $\TV(\bar u) \ll 1$, can be found in [Bianchini, Bressan 2005], where the well-posedness of \eqref{E:abstract} is proved by means of vanishing viscosity approximations. After the paper [Bianchini, Bressan 2005], however, it seemed worthwhile to develop a \emph{purely hyperbolic} theory (based, as in the genuinely nonlinear case, on Glimm or wavefront tracking approximations, and not on vanishing viscosity parabolic approximations) to prove existence, uniqueness and stability results. The reason of this interest can be mainly found in the fact that hyperbolic approximate solutions are much easier to study and to visualize than parabolic ones. Theorems A and B in this thesis are a contribution to this line of research. In particular, Theorem A proves an estimate on the change of the speed of the wavefronts present in a Glimm approximate solution when two of them interact; Theorem B proves the convergence of the Glimm approximate solutions to the weak admissible solution of \eqref{E:abstract} and provides also an estimate on the rate of convergence. Both theorems are proved in the most general setting when no assumption on $F$ is made except the strict hyperbolicity. The third result of the thesis, denoted by Theorem C, deals with the Lagrangian structure of the solution to \eqref{E:abstract}. The notion of Lagrangian flow is a well-established concept in the theory of the transport equation and in the study of some particular system of conservation laws, like the Euler equation. However, as far as we know, the general system of conservations laws \eqref{E:abstract} has never been studied from a Lagrangian point of view. This is exactly the subject of Theorem C, where a Lagrangian representation for the solution to the system \eqref{E:abstract} is explicitly constructed. The main reasons which led us to look for a Lagrangian representation of the solution of \eqref{E:abstract} are two: on one side, this Lagrangian representation provides the continuous counterpart in the exact solution of \eqref{E:abstract} to the well established theory of wavefront approximations; on the other side, it can lead to a deeper understanding of the behavior of the solutions in the general setting, when the characteristic field are not genuinely nonlinear or linearly degenerate.}, keywords = {Hyperbolic conservation laws}, url = {http://urania.sissa.it/xmlui/handle/1963/34542}, author = {Stefano Modena} } @article {JaggliIapichinoRozza2014, title = {An improvement on geometrical parameterizations by transfinite maps}, journal = {Comptes Rendus Mathematique}, volume = {352}, number = {3}, year = {2014}, pages = {263{\textendash}268}, abstract = {We present a method to generate a non-affine transfinite map from a given reference domain to a family of deformed domains.

Understanding strain specificities is an important problem in the field of prion disease.

The aim of this work is to investigate, through a mathematical model, how the structural stability of different aggregated forms can influence the kinetics of prion replication. The model-based results suggest that prion strains with different conformational stability undergoing in vivo replication are characterizable in primis by means of different rates of breakage. A further role seems to be played by the aggregation rate (i.e. the rate at which a prion fibril grows). The kinetic variability introduced in the model by these two parameters allows us to reproduce the different characteristic features of the various strains (e.g., fibrils\\\' mean length) and is coherent with all experimental observations concerning strain-specific behavior.}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000420}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/1963/3989}, author = {Mattia Zampieri and Giuseppe Legname and Claudio Altafini} } @article {2008, title = {Instanton counting on Hirzebruch surfaces}, number = {SISSA;55/2008/FM}, year = {2008}, abstract = {We perform a study of the moduli space of framed torsion free sheaves on Hirzebruch surfaces by using localization techniques.
