Nous considérons l’équation de Schrödinger non linéaire défocalisante (les solutions sont globales), et examinons la continuité par rapport à la puissance, dans différents espaces fonctionnels. Un cas limite correspond à la convergence vers l’équation de Schrödinger logarithmique, et demande une étude fine de certaines équations différentielles, ainsi qu’un passage en formulation fluide.

L’exposé est basé sur un travail en commun avec Quentin Chauleur et Guillaume Ferriere.

Dans cet exposé, je présenterai une approche mathématique des tiges courbes minces dans le cadre de l’élasticité linéaire. Je montrerai que tout déplacement d’une tige
courbe est la somme d’un déplacement de Bernoulli-Navier et de déplacements résiduels (avec cisaillement et gauchissement dans la décomposition la plus complète). Je donnerai des estimations des termes de cette décomposition par rapport à $\delta$ (l’épaisseur de la tige) et la norme $L^2$ du tenseur des déformations. Je terminerai par l’étude du comportement asymptotique d’une tige courbe soumise à une charge très particulière dans le cadre de l’élasticité linéaire.

In this talk, I will present an asymptotic expansion for the minimal Dirichlet energy of  $\mathbb{S}^2$-valued maps outside a finite number of particles of size $\rho$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ under general anchoring conditions at the particle boundaries as $\rho\to 0$. The first two terms of this expansion consist of the minimal energy after zooming in at scale $\rho$ around each particle and a Coulomb-like interaction that agrees with the electrostatics analogy depending on the far-field behavior of the corresponding single-particle minimizer. This approximation is commonly used in the physics literature for colloid interactions in nematic liquid crystals and for the first time a precise estimate of the energy error introduced by that linearization is derived, by developing new tools that address the lack of convergence rate when zooming in at scale $\rho$.

The talk is based on joint work with L. Bronsard, X. Lamy and R. Venkatraman.

We survey interesting properties of some nonlocal operators that have no analogue for linear second order elliptic PDE.

Je présenterai un travail en collaboration avec Thibault Lacombe, où
nous démontrons que les solutions Lipschitz $u$ de $\mathrm{div}\,
G(\nabla u)=0$ dans un domaine du plan sont $C^1$, pour des champs de
vecteurs strictement monotones $G$ dans $C^0(\mathbb R^2;\mathbb R^2)$
satisfaisant une condition d’ellipticité très générale. Lorsque le champ
de vecteurs $G$ est le gradient d’une fonction strictement convexe,
notre résultat généralise des résultats de De Silva et Savin (Duke Math.
J. 2010). Lorsque $G$ n’est pas un gradient, l’hypothèse d’ellipticité
doit être interprétée correctement, et nous produisons un exemple qui
montre l’effet non trivial de la partie antisymétrique de $\nabla G$.

Il s’agit d’un travail en collaboration avec Guedes-Bonthonneau, Chhaibi, Rivière et To.

Sur une surface riemannienne, nous construisons une mesure de Yang-Mills sur les connexions distributionnelles, avec le processus d’holonomie correspondant. Les ingrédients de notre construction sont: une nouvelle jauge de Morse et l’analyse d’équations de transport pour les flots de gradient en très faible régularité. Nous montrons que notre mesure retrouve les formules de la théorie de Yang-Mills en dimension 2, telles qu’on les trouve dans les travaux de Witten, Driver, Sengupta et Lévy. Enfin, nous expliquons en quel sens notre mesure converge vers le volume symplectique d’Atiyah–Bott–Goldman sur l’espace de modules des connexions plates dans la limite semi-classique.

The objective of this work is to study the stability of two systems of type Rao-Nakra sandwich beam in the whole line $R$ with a frictional damping or an infinite memory acting on the Euler-Bernoulli equation. When the speeds of propagation of the two wave equations are equal, we show that the solutions do not converge to zero when time goes to infinity. In the reverse situation, we prove some $L^2 (R)$-norm and $L^1 (R)$-norm decay estimates of solutions and theirs higher order derivatives with respect to the space variable. Thanks to interpolation inequalities and Carlson inequality, these $L^2 (R)$-norm and $L^1 (R)$-norm decay estimates lead to similar ones in the $L^q (R)$-norm, for any $q\in [1,+\infty]$. In our both $L^2 (R)$-norm and $L^1 (R)$-norm decay estimates, we specify the decay rates in terms of the regularity of the initial data and the nature of the control. Applications to some Cauchy Timoshenko type systems will be also given. The proof is based on the energy method combined with the Fourier analysis (by using the transformation in the Fourier space and well chosen multipliers).

A part of these results was obtained in collaboration with Salim Messaoudi (University of Sharjah, UAE).

It is well established that the L_1 optimal transport can be employed to characterize solutions of the Beckmann problem, where one looks for a vector-valued measure of minimal total variation with the constraint that fixes its divergence as the difference of two probabilities distributions. In turn, the Beckmann problem underlies optimal design of heat conductors.

I will talk about a second-order counterpart of this theory, where in the Beckmann problem we have a constraint on the double divergence. In 2D, this problem enjoys the interpretation of optimally designing a ceiling using a grillage structure. I will show that its solutions can be characterized through a new formulation where we look for a probability that dominates the data in the sense of convex order while attaining minimal variance. Afterwards, equivalent optimal transport formulations can be proposed for efficient numerical treatment.

Kato’s well known distributional inequality for the magnetic Laplacian holds equally in the more general setting of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics (QED), where the wave function is vector-valued and the vector potential is quantized. We give two new applications of this result: First, we show that eigenstates satisfy a subsolution estimate. Second, for general states, with energy distribution strictly below the ionization threshold, we give a short proof of pointwise exponential decay in the electronic configuration.

Dans le cadre de coefficients réguliers et sous une hypothèse de contrôle géométrique que je rappellerai, l’une des méthodes les plus modernes pour démontrer l’observabilité des ondes repose sur la considération de paquets d’ondes dont la fréquence typique tend vers l’infini, sur la compréhension du transport des mesures semiclassiques le long des rayons de l’optique géométrique, ainsi que sur un argument de prolongement unique, le tout enrobé dans un raisonnement par contradiction. J’exposerai cette recette subtile et montrerai comment elle permet de généraliser le résultat d’observabilité à des cas où les coefficients présentent une régularité plus faible, jusqu’à des coefficients de classe C^1. Dans ce cas, le champ de vecteurs hamiltonien qui gouverne les rayons n’est plus que C^0. L’unicité des rayons est alors perdue. Une régularité encore moindre compromettrait l’existence même des rayons.

The main objective of this work is to study the stability of a linear one-dimensional thermoelastic Bresse system in a bounded domain, where the coupling is given through the first component of the Bresse model with the heat conduction of Gurtin-Pipkin type. Two kinds of coupling are considered; the first coupling is of order one with respect to space variable, and the second one is of order zero. We state the well-posedness and show the polynomial and strong stability of the systems for regular and weak solutions, respectively, where the polynomial decay rates depend on the smoothness of the initial data. Moreover, in case of coupling of order one, we prove the equivalence between the exponential stability and some new conditions on the parameters of the system. However, when the coupling is of order zero, we prove the non-exponential stability independently of the parameters of the system. Applications to the corresponding particular Timoshenko models are also given, where we prove that both couplings lead to the exponential stability if and only if some conditions on the parameters of the systems are satisfied, and both couplings guarantee the polynomial and strong stability for regular and weak solutions, respectively, independently of the parameters of the systems. The proof of the well-posedness result is based on the semigroups theory, whereas a combination of the energy method and the frequency domain approach is used for the proof of the stability results.

In the derivation of the wave kinetic equation coming from the Schrödinger equation, a key feature is the invariance of the Schrödinger equation under the action of U(1). This allows quasi-resonances of the equation to drive the effective dynamics of the statistical evolution of solutions to the Schrödinger equation. In this talk, I will give an example of an equation that does not have the same invariance as the Schrödinger equation, and I will show that in this example, exact resonances (always) take precedence over quasi-resonances, so that the effective dynamics of the statistical evolution of the solutions are not kinetic. However, these dynamics are not linear (let alone trivial). I will present the problem and the ideas involved in deriving the effective dynamics and some elements of proof: in particular, I will describe the representation of solutions of the initial equation in diagrammatic form. This talk is based on a joint work with Annalaura Stingo (X) and Arthur Touati (Bordeaux).
