PIMS/WMAX Postdoctoral Colloquium: Ian Zwiers (PIMS/UBC)
Topic
Nonlinear Dispersive PDEs
Speakers
Details
This colloquium will examine the broad themes of nonlinear dispersive PDE, with the nonlinear Schrodinger and wave equations as examples. We'll discuss the underlying linear theory (Strichartz estimates + conservation laws), weakly nonlinear phenomena (scattering), full nonlinear behaviour (standing waves), and instability (blowup). The emphasis will be on motivation and not proof. This talk is intended for mathematically mature non-experts.
