Emergent behaviors in multi-cellular tumor progression including micro-environmental interactions anunciado. Atención: Seminario suspendido por razones de fuerza mayor
Abstract:
Atención: Seminario suspendido por razones de fuerza mayor

We present a mathematical approach that captures and explores a wide range of mechanisms and biological variability in tumor progression to better understand the orchestrate multiple phenomena in cancer dynamics. In this respect, Mathematical Biology is needed to promote the realization of modeling platforms that facilitate the discovery of novel biological phenomena, rules, and theories. Therefore, the main goal of this presentation corresponds to discuss the analysis of a mathematical model that represents a multi-cellular chemotaxis-haptotaxis interaction in Cancer progression. The main novelty consists in applying the non-linear analysis of parabolic-elliptic system and numerical approximation to describe the micro-environment effects over tumor progression.

A General Brezis-Nirenberg Problem
Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss existence, nonexistence and uniqueness of solutions for a general Brezis-Nirenberg problem. The region of parameters for which there is existence and nonexistence of positive solutions is characterized by two spectral problems that have interest on their own. This is joint

Nonlocal equations in perforated domains
Sala 2
Abstract:
In this talk, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of nonlocal problems widely used in the modeling of diffusion or dispersion processes. We consider an integral-differential equation, with nonsingular kernel, in a limited domain Ω from which we remove subsets that we call holes. We deal with Neumann and Dirichlet conditions in the holes setting Dirichlet outside of Ω. Assuming the weak convergence of the family of functions which represents such holes, we analyze the limit of the solutions of the equations obtaining the existence of a limit problem. In the case where the holes are removed periodically, we observe that the critical radius is of order of the typical cell size (which gives the period). Finally we study the behavior of these problems when we resize their kernel with the objective of approaching local partial differential equations discussing peculiarities.

Gravitational collapse for the Einstein-Vlasov system with spherical symmetry
Sala 2
Abstract:
The Einstein's equations form a model of the spacetime which has been widely studied in general relativity. This model studies the evolution on time of the matter and a Lorentzian metric which together shape the spacetime. In this talk, we will study specifically the Einstein-Vlasov system, a particular case of the Einstein's equations where the matter is modeled through a distribution of matter as it is usual in kinetic theory. Firstly, I will present some of the main features about the full Einstein-Vlasov system. Secondly, I will present some results about gravitational collapse for the Einstein-Vlasov system with spherical symmetry proved by M. Dafermos and A. Rendall in 2006. Finally, I will mention some problems which are part of my current research.

On the 3D Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity.
Abstract:
The Ginzburg-Landau model is a phenomenological description of superconductivity. A crucial feature is the occurrence of vortices (similar to those in fluid mechanics, but quantized), which appear above a certain value of the strength of the applied magnetic field called the first critical field. In this talk I will present a sharp estimate of this value and describe the behavior of global minimizers for the 3D Ginzburg-Landau functional below and near it. This is partially joint work with Etienne Sandier and Sylvia Serfaty.

Examples of Compact Einstein four-manifolds with negative curvature
Sala 2, Facultad de Matemáticas UC
Abstract:
We construct new examples of closed, negatively curved
Einstein four-manifolds. More precisely, we construct  Einstein metrics
of negative sectional curvature on ramified covers of compact hyperbolic
four-manifolds with symmetries, initially considered by Gromov and
Thurston. These metrics are obtained through a deformation procedure.
Our candidate approximate Einstein metric is an interpolation between a
black-hole Riemannian Einstein metric near the branch locus and the
pulled-back hyperbolic metric. We then deform it into a genuine solution
of Einstein’s equations, and the deformation relies on an involved
bootstrap procedure. Our construction yields the first example of
compact Einstein manifolds with negative sectional curvature which are
not locally homogeneous. This is a joint  work with J. Fine (ULB,
Brussels).

Aplicando la geometría diferencial para comprender la estructura de los cristales líquidos
sala 2, Facultad de Matemáticas, PUC
Abstract:
Veremos como el teorema de Liouville y los teoremas de Schoen-Uhlenbeck nos permiten demostrar que a bajas temperaturas los defectos de los minimizadores del funcional de Landau-de Gennes son necesariamente biaxiales. (En particular, a bajas temperaturas es falso que sus frustraciones topológicas las resuelvan derritiéndose, como se asume comúnmente.)

Quaternions in collective motion
Abstract:
We present a model for multi-agent dynamics based on rigid alignment. Each agent is described by its position and body attitude: it travels at a constant speed while trying to coordinate its solid orientation with the solid orientation of the neighboring agents. The body orientations are represented by unitary quaternions. We first introduce an individual based model in the spirit of the Vicsek model, enhanced with the body orientation dynamics. We then derive the corresponding kinetic model. From there we compute the hydrodynamical limit, leading to a self-organized hydrodynamical system based on quaternions.

The Dirichlet problem
\begin{equation*}
\left\{
\begin{array}{cl}
\Delta u + f(u) =0 &  \mbox{in} \ x \in A, \\[1ex]
u=0 & \mbox{on} \ \partial A
\end{array}
\right.
\end{equation*}
is considered, where $A:=\{x\in {\bf R}^N : a< |x| <b$,\  $N \in {\bf N}$, $N \ge 2$, $0<a<b<\infty$,
$f \in C^1[0,\infty)$, $f(u)>0$ and $uf'(u) \ge f(u)$ for $u>0$.
Hence the boundary value problem
$$u'' + \frac{N-1}{r} u' + f(u) = 0, \quad r \in (a,b); \qquad u(a) = u(b) = 0$$
is considered.
Uniqueness results of positive solutions are shown.

On higher dimensional singularities for the fractional Yamabe problem
Sala 2
Abstract:
We consider the problem of constructing solutions to the fractional Yamabe problem that are singular at a given smooth sub-manifold, for which we establish the classical gluing method of Mazzeo and Pacard for the scalar curvature in the fractional setting. This proof is based on the analysis of the model linearized operator, which amounts to the study of a fractional order ODE,
and thus our main contribution here is the development of new methods coming from conformal geometry and scattering theory for the study of non-local ODEs. Note, however, that no traditional phase-plane analysis is available here. Instead, first, we provide a rigorous construction of radial fast-decaying solutions by a blow-up argument and a bifurcation method. Second, we use conformal geometry to rewrite this non-local ODE, giving a hint of what a non-local phase-plane analysis should be. Third, for the linear theory, we use complex analysis and some non-Euclidean harmonic analysis to  examine a fractional Schrödinger equation with a Hardy type critical potential. We construct its Green's function, deduce Fredholm properties, and analyze its asymptotics at the singular points in the spirit of  Frobenius method. Surprisingly enough, a fractional linear ODE may still have a two-dimensional kernel as in the second order case.

Self-repulsive curvature energies for curves and surfaces: regularity theory and relation to harmonic maps
Sala 2
Abstract:
I will talk about a class of curvature energies for curves, the O'Hara energies, that are nonlocal in nature. In particular, I will present an approach for regularity theory of minimizers and critical points for these curves which is based on a relation to (fractional) harmonic maps. Then I will present some results towards attempts of generalizing this idea to surfaces.

Isoperimetric Problems with Density
Sala 2
Abstract:
A round soap bubble is the least-perimeter way to enclose a given volume of air. Similarly, the familiar double soap bubble that forms when two soap bubbles come together is the least-perimeter way to enclose and separate two given volumes of air. What if you give space a radial density that weights both perimeter and volume? The presentation will include open questions and recent results, some by undergraduates. Students welcome.

Funciones p-armónicas con condiciones de Neumann en el borde que involucran medidas
Sala 2
Abstract:
En esta presentación discutiré el problema de encontrar funciones p-armónicas en el semi-espacio superior con condiciones de Neumann en el borde de tipo no lineal y con medidas. Para ello introduciré el concepto de soluciones renormalizadas en dominios acotados y explicaré como usar esta teoría para obtener soluciones de nuestro problema. La idea principal es usar estabilidad local y la simetría del dominio (y el operador). Luego aplicaremos estas ideas para obtener resultados de existencia para diferentes tipos de no linealidades. Las técnicas a utilizar también nos permitirán establecer algunos resultados de no existencia y de eliminación de singularidades.
