Nonuniqueness for the Navier–Stokes equations and model equations / Singularities in Fluid Mechanics

ENS Salle W

JG: In this talk, I will discuss fundamental properties of the solutions to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in three dimensions. After reviewing the classical local well-posedness results, I will explain how numerical simulations suggest local ill-posedness at the borderline of the known results. I will discuss a plausible scenario of non-uniqueness from smooth initial data through finite-time blow-up. Finally, I will describe how this scenario is actually happening in a model equation sharing the same fundamental properties as the Navier–Stokes equations.KM: Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative […]

Après-midi de théorie de groupes

Salle W (DMA)

14.00-14.45 Stefan Witzel (Ecole Polytehchnique)15.00-15.45 Katie Vokes (IHES)15.45-16.15 coffee break16.15-16.45 Adrien Le Boudec (ENS Lyon)Stefan Witzel, Arithmetic approximate groups and their finiteness propertiesI will talk about approximate groups, a geometric generalization of groups. Approximate groups were discovered independently in various contexts and I will describe how they arise very naturally in the context of arithmetic groups. I will then explain how to extend topological finiteness properties of groups to approximate groups. This allows to make a connection betweenarithmetic groups in positive characteristic and arithmetic approximate groups in characteristic zero. The […]
