One of the oldest problems in dynamical systems is the stability of the Solar System. That is, consider N bodies moving following Newton's law of gravitation, one of them with large mass (the Sun) and the others with small masses (the planets). If one neglects, the gravitational interaction between planets, the classical Kepler's laws assert that the planets move on ellipses. Then, one wants to understand whether the effect of the planets mutual attraction causes long term changes on the shape and relative position of the Keplerian ellipses.
Nowadays, it is known that the answer to the stability of the Solar system is rather nuanced and that stability and instability coexist for nearby initial conditions. In this talk I will explain how to construct unstable motions in this model, which lead to drastic changes in the semimajor axes, eccentricity and inclination of these ellipses.

Continuum models of strongly interacting Brownian particles

29 de nov. 2023
Maria Bruna will discuss many-particle systems with strong interactions. These models are motivated by the study of many-particle systems in biology or industrial applications, where it is crucial to account for the finite size of particles. I will explain how these interactions can be included in the models and different methods to derive continuum PDE descriptions. In the second part of the talk, I will show how these methods can be used to model active matter systems or self-propelled particles such as bacteria or ants.
Quantum character varieties
Accés obert
8 de febr. 2023
In this talk Marta Mazzocco will introduce the concept of character variety in the simple example of a torus with one disk removed. We will show how this is a surface in C^3 defined by a cubic polynomial, called the Markov cubic. We will show the relation between the Markov cubic, singularity theory, Painlevé differential equations, and introduce a cluster algebra structure on it which is related to Markov numbers. We will discuss quantisation of the Markov cubic in terms of basic orthogonal polynomials and relate it to Sklyanin algebra.
