Yannick Sire (Johns Hopkins)
Some results on harmonic maps with free boundary and beyond
Abstract:
The theory of harmonic maps with free boundary is an old topic in
geometric analysis. I will report on recent results on their Ginzburg-Landau
approximation, regularity theory, and their heat flow. I will also describe
several models in the theory of liquid crystals where the heat flow of those
maps appears, emphasizing on some well-posedness issues and some hints
on the construction of blow-up solutions. Several important results in
geometric analysis such as extremal metrics for the Steklov eigenvalues
for instance make a crucial use of such maps. I’ll give some open problems
and will try to explain how to attack few open questions in the field
using tools recently developed.

The extremal length systole of the Bolza surface
Abstract:
The extremal length of a curve on a Riemann surface is a conformal
invariant that has a nice geometric description but is not so simple to
compute in practice. The extremal length systole is defined as the infimum
of the extremal lengths of all non-contractible closed curves. I will
discuss joint work with Didac Martinez-Granado and Franco Vargas Pallete
in which we compute the extremal length systole of the Bolza surface,
the most symmetric surface of genus two. The calculation involves certain
identities for elliptic integrals called the Landen transformations. We
also prove that the Bolza surface is a local maximizer for the extremal
length systole and conjecture that it is the unique global maximizer.

Rigidity theorems for circle domains
Abstract:
A circle domain $\Omega$ in the Riemann sphere is a domain each of whose
boundary
components is either a circle or a point. A circle domain
$\Omega$ is called conformally
rigid if every conformal map from $\Omega$
onto another circle domain is the restriction of a Mobius transformation.
In this talk I will present some new rigidity
theorems for circle domains satisfying a certain quasihyperbolic condition.
As a corollary, John and Holder circle domains are rigid.
This provides new evidence for a conjecture of He and Schramm, relating
rigidity and conformal
removability. This talk is based on joint work with Malik Younsi.
Friday, November 26, 14:30-15:30 Eastern time, zoom seminar
Suresh Eswarathasan (Dalhousie)
Fractal uncertainty principle for discrete Cantor sets for random alphabets.
Abstract:
The fractal uncertainty principle (FUP) introduced by Dyatlov-Zahl’16
has seen some powerful applications in the last few years and become a
hot topic in harmonic analysis. In this talk, we study the FUP for
discrete Cantor sets from a probabilistic perspective. We show that
randomizing our alphabets gives a quantifiable improvement over the
current “zero” and “pressure” bounds. In turn, this provides the best
possible exponent when the Cantor sets enjoy either the strongest Fourier
decay or additive energy assumptions. This is joint work with Xiaolong
Han (Cal. State Northridge)
