The talks will present some of the research topics that will be supported by the IRL FAMSI. The presentations will be colloquium style, i.e. accessible to people trained at Honours level (or above!) in any field of Mathematics.

1-1:30pm: Andrew Hassell.

1:30-2pm: Kate Turner.

2-2:30pm: Tony Licata.

2:30-3pm: Break.

3-3:30pm: Asilata Bapat.

3:30-4pm: Ben Andrews.

4-4:30pm: Pierre Portal. Diffusion equations with rough data and coefficients. 

Abstract: Surely linear diffusion equations with $L^p$ initial data and coefficients that are bounded and measurable in all (space and time) variables are well posed, right? If $p=2$, yes: this goes back to J.L. Lions in the 50s. For $p \neq 0$, not so much, but fear not: Pascal Auscher, Sylvie Monniaux and I have developed a satisfying well posedness theory over the past ten years. The key idea is to understand what an appropriate "$L^p$ energy space" should be.   

4:30-6pm: research discussions with Frederic Herau (CNRS-Maths Deputy Director for International Relations), and Sylvie Monniaux (IRL FAMSI Director).

6-8pm: join us for drinks and dinner at Badger&Co.
