Mini-course on Infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups

Dear colleagues,

(picture taken from Maria Gordina’s wikipedia page)

It is our pleasure to announce the mini-course Infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups” by

Prof. Maria Gordina (University of Connecticut).

Dates and times:

Wednesday 24 April, 3:00-5:00 PM

Thursday 25 April, 11:30 AM-12:30 PM

Venue: Leslokaal 3.1 (geography lecture room on 3rd floor), Campus Sterre, S8, Ghent University, Belgium

Abstract :

These series of talks will provide background on the analysis on infinite-dimensional Heisenberg-like groups.

1. ​Abstract Wiener spaces and Gaussian measures.

2. Finite-dimensional Heisenberg groups: as Lie groups and as sub-Riemannian manifolds.

3. Review of analysis on Heisenberg groups: gradient estimates and log Sobolev inequalities.

4. Analysis on infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups.

All are welcome to attend!

Exhibition “Women in Mathematics”

During the Summer School “Modern Problems in PDEs and applications”, our Ghent Analysis and PDE Center hosted the exhibition “Women of Mathematics from around the world”, brought to us by Prof Sylvie Paycha (Potsdam University) .

(center members preparing to set up the exhibition)

In this framework, Prof Sylvie Paycha delivered the talk “Women in mathematics from around the world: A gallery of portraits”.

One of the valuable works of Prof Sylvie Paycha related to women of mathematics can be found on the website womeninmath.net

Our Ghent Analysis and PDE Center is proud to take part in these activities. In particular, see our own project on Women in Analysis and PDE

Description

The school will be devoted to the study of new techniques and approaches for solving partial differential equations, which can either be considered or arise from the physical point of view or the mathematical perspective. Both sides are extremely important since theories and methods can be developed independently, aiming to gather each other in a common objective. The summer school aims to progress and advance in the problems considered. Note that real-world problems and their applications are classical study trends in physical or mathematical modelling.

With this event, Ghent university will be a host to a diversity of cultures. The summer school will be organised in a friendly atmosphere and synergy, and it will be an excellent opportunity to promote and encourage the development of the subject in the community. Furthermore, close contact with worldwide experts will stimulate participants’ skills in independent research and collaborations with other researchers. Frequently, schools also lead to some excellent possibilities for collaborations with experts in Europe and other continents, which work on related topics. Moreover, it shall enhance further collaborations established during this program. Through these collaborations, the expertise held by the European mathematical community can grow and expand to international interest in the topic. It will bring considerable benefit in the future development of the academic career for the participants while enriching competitiveness.

Information for participants

For attending the school, the charge is 10 euro per day to cover organisational expenses. The participation of PhD candidates from Doctoral Schools at UGent, colleagues from UGent, and Lecturers is free of charge.

If you need administrative support (visa, accommodation, etc.) for your attendance, please let us know in advance. 

Public Lecture

The public lecture entitled

“Can we divide vectors? Geometric calculus in Science and Engineering”

will be given by Uwe Kähler (University of Aveiro, Portugal). Prof. Kähler is a world-leading expert on complex, Clifford, and harmonic analysis and their applications to wavelets and PDEs. He currently serves as president of the International Society for Analysis, Applications and Computation (ISAAC).
