Talk: DIFFERENTIAL GALOIS THEORY AND ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS

 

Abstract. Differential Galois Theory is the Galois theory in the context of differential equations (also known as Picard-Vessiot theory in the linear case). In this talk we show examples that relates the Picard-Vessiot theory with the theory of orthogonal polynomials and special functions. We compute the Galois group of differential equations in which their solutions are given in terms of orthogonal polynomials (Chebyshev, Hermite, Laguerre, etc.). In the same way to differential equations that arises from the recurrence relations of some special kind of orthogonal polynomials. The main tools used here to solve the di®erential equations and compute the Galois groups are two powerful algorithms: Kovacic algorithm and algebrization procedure (see [AB.]).

Talk: GLOBAL CONDITIONS FOR SUPERPOSITION OF SOLUTIONS OF ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

 

Abstract. Differential equations that admit superposition laws of Solutions were introduced by S. Lie in 1885 [1]. They are a natural generalization of the linear systems of ordinary differential equations. They form a special class of differential equations. The local characterization of such a class was done by S. Lie and G. Scheffers in 1893, and further development is due to E. Vessiot [2]. This is the well known Lie-Scheffers theorem. These conditions are necessary for the existence of a superposition law, but they are not sufficient. There are some additional global conditions. Here, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a superposition law for a differential equation. This result is included in [3].

Talk: WELL-POSEDNESS FOR A NONLINEAR PERTURBATION  OF THE KURAMOTO-SIVASHINSKY EQUATION

 

Abstract. In this lecture we are interested in the well-posedness in the periodical case for a nonlinear perturbation of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, which describes near planar interfaces which are marginally long-wave unstable. We will show that this equation is locally well-posed in $H^s$, for $s\geq 2$ improving the result obtained by Bernoff-Sarocka. Also, we are going to present results related with the persistence at all time of the solutions, as a result of the blow up in finite time.

Talk: EXPLICIT LOWER BOUND FOR A SCHR\"ODINGER OPERATOR WITH A REAL POTENTIAL IN $L^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^d), d\geq 3$

 

Abstract. The goal of this talk, is to give the proof in detail the note “Lower bound for an elliptic operator perturbed by a potential”, published on C.R.Acad.Paris (see [El]). Especially we give, in an explicit way, the lower bound for the Schr\”odinger’s operator $L = −\triangle + V, with V semi-bounded from bellow, $V\in L^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^d),$ and $d\geq 3$.

In this case the bottom of the Schr\”odinger’s operator $L$ has an explicit lower bound. The bottom of $L$ is either the first real eigenvalue of $L$ or the bottom of the essential spectrum of $L$. So to look for in an explicit away the lower or/and the upper bound of the bottom of $L$ is importantly in the field of quantum physics.

Talk: ADDITION THEOREMS VIA CONTINUED FRACTIONS

 

Abstract. We show connections between a special type of addition formulas and a theorem of Stieltjes and Rogers.  We use different techniques  to derive the desirable addition formulas. We apply our approach to derive special addition theorems for Bessel functions and confluent hypergeometric functions. We also derive several additions theorems for basic hypergeometric functions.  Applications to the evaluation of Hankel determinants are also given.

Talk: RECENT TRENDS ON TWO VARIABLE ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS.

 

Abstract. For a measure supported on a subset of the plane we introduce two variable orthogonal polynomial sequences taking into account the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process for several choices in the ordering of the canonical basis of monomials. From them, we deduce three-term recurrence relations with matrix coefficients that such polynomial sequences satisfy. A connection with matrix orthogonal polynomials is established according to [1].

Following an historical approach (see [5], [6], and [7]) based on the extension of the Routh-Bochner characterization of classical orthogonal polynomials in one variable (Hermite, Laguerre, Jacobi, and Bessel) , we give a constructive approach of some families of two variable orthogonal polynomials which are eigenfunctions of second order partial differential operators with polynomial coefficients. Then, using standard techniques for the symmetrisation of partial differential operators, we can deduce the weight function as well as the corresponding domain of orthogonality .

In the more general framework of the orthogonality associated with moment functionals on the linear space of polynomials in two variables with real coefficients, classical orthogonal polynomials are defined in terms of a matrix analogue of the Pearson differential equation that such a functional satisfies. They can also be characterized as the polynomial solutions of a matrix second order partial differential equation (see [3]).

On the other hand, the discretization of the second order partial linear differential operator in a uniform lattice in the plane yields a difference operator in two variables. We present some recent results by Iliev and Xu ( see, for instance, [4]) about such operators assuming that they have polynomial solutions. We also show that their eigenvalues are either quadratic or linear polynomials of the index. Furthermore, the polynomial coefficients of the difference operator need to have certain simpler forms. The complete solution of this problem is given.

Finally, following [2] we will present some applications of orthogonal polynomials in two variables in different frameworks.

Talk: MONODROMY OF SOLUTIONS OF COMPLEX LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

 

Abstract. My Master's thesis with Jairo Charris is concerned with the construction of a long exact sequence associated to a linear ordinary differential operator in the complex plane:

$$0\to \ker(P)\to \s O(\Omega)\stackrel{P}{\too}\s O(\Omega)\stackrel{\delta}{\too} \Hom_{\CC}(H_1(\Omega;\ZZ),\CC)\to 0.$$

The morphism $\delta$ is defined using the method of variation of parameters. It later became clear that a long exact sequnce of sheaf cohomology, formally identical to this sequence, results from applying the global section functor to the short exact sequence of sheaves

$$0\to{\s Ker}(P)\to\s O\stackrel{P}{\too} \s O\to 0.$$

In the talk I will explain the constructions, comment on the relation between the different cohomology theories involved, and briefly touch on the Riemann Hilbert correspondence.

Talk: PARABOLIC ALMOST COMPLEX STRUCTURES ON MAXIMAL FLAG MANIFOLDS

 

Abstract. In this talk we present some results about parabolic almost complex structures on the classical maximal flag manifold $\mathbb{F}(n) =U(n)/((U(1)x…xU(1))$. Burstall and Salamon showed the existence of a one to one correspondence between al- most complex structures on a flag manifold and tournaments. This correspondence has been used in several papers in order to prove geometric facts using properties of the tournaments. We give a necessary condition for an almost complex structure to be parabolic. In addition, we give a new proof of the theorem, due to Mo and Negreiros, which shows that all the parabolic almost complex structures admit (1;2)-symplectic metrics.

Talk: POLYNOMIAL TRANSFORMATIONS FOR ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS AND SIEVED ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS

 

Abstract. Jairo Charris wrote some interesting papers on sieved orthogonal polynomials. I will describe how one can obtain a new sequence of orthogonal polynomials from a given sequence of orthogonal polynomials by a polynomial transformation. If the polynomial in this transformation is a Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, then one finds sieved orthogonal polynomials. I will give an application which consists of the construction of a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with a discrete measure (on a dense set of points) for which the recurrence coefficients converge.
