PhD Discussion Group

The PhD Discussion Group consists of members of young researchers from the Applied Analysis Group at the Heidelberg University. It is decoupled from any official event and purely serves as a platform to freely discuss research, science, current projects and/or related topics without our supervisors in virtue of networking and closer collaboration within our group. 

Anyone from undergraduate student up to postdoctoral researcher is welcome to join. We meet on a basis once every two weeks to present informal talks followed by a discussion. If you are interested in joining, please do not hesitate to write an E-Mail to Denis to be added to the mailing list.

Discussion Sessions

Every two weeks, a volunteer prepares slides or an informal talk about topics, ideas and/or problems connected to a current research project. The talks are 30 to 45 minutes followed by a discussion.

By informal talk we understand a presentation which may not fully cover the research project i.e. neither a full picture of the area of research, nor in depth details of all the arguments of the presented project are required to be part of the presentation (unlike presentations given e.g. in conferences or summer schools). It is not only the results of projects we are interested in, but more so the ideas, methods and techniques. We are looking for presentations which allow the audience to ask questions and to understand the difficulty of the problem and its connection within various fields of mathematics in our group. Do not shy away from presenting incomplete projects or techniques, as we are participating in order to learn from and get to know each other.

The main scope of the seminar covers the working fields of the Applied Analysis Group, i.e. analysis of ordinary and partial differential equations, calculus of variations, modelling, as well as numerical methods and simulations applied to the aforementioned areas.

News

The next talk in the PhD Discussion Group will be held by Vlad Revnic on 06.05.2024, 2pm c.t. in INF 205, Seminarraum 08. The event will also be streamed, the link was distributed via mail.

Title: On Mañé's critical value for the Hunter-Saxton system

Abstract: We will study magnetic deformations of the Hunter-Saxton system, in the sense of magnetic geodesic flows. We represent this system as a Hamiltonian flow on an infinite dimensional Lie group and use this to study blow ups and construct global weak solutions of this system of nonlinear partial differential equations. Furthermore we will use the global weak magnetic flow on the infinite dimensional Lie group to prove that any two points in there can be connected by a magnetic geodesic as long as the strength of the magnetic field is less then Mañé's critical value.
