Nonlocal analysis of energies in micromagnetics

Weierstraß-Institut, Hausvogteiplatz 5-7, 10117 Berlin, R411
Abstract
In this talk we provide conditions in order to formally justify a nonlocal analysis of energies in Micromagnetics. Specifically, we first consider a nonlocalto-local approximation of exchange energy functionals, extending the wellknown Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu formula to encompass the scenario where antisymmetric contributions are encoded. The key points are a pointwise convergence result and a Gamma-convergence argument. After the nonlocal approximation, we investigate the existence and qualitative properties of minimizers, focusing on the competition between a nonlocal symmetric exchange interaction, which penalizes spatial variations in magnetization, and a magnetostatic self-energy term that accounts for long-range dipolar interactions. For spherical domains, we generalize Brown's fundamental results by identifying critical radii such that uniform magnetizations are preferable for the small-body regime, while non-uniform magnetization configurations become dominant in the large-body regime. This is joint work with E. Davoli, G. Di Fratta and L. Lombardini.

Abstract
In this talk I will show that every solution of a KdV-Burgers--Sivashinsky type equation blows up in the energy space, backward in time, provided the solution does not belong to the global attractor. This is a phenomenon contrast to the backward behavior of the 2D Navier--Stokes equations, subject to periodic boundary condition, studied by Constantin, Foias, Kukavica and Majda, but analogous to the backward behavior of the Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation discovered by Kukavica and Malcok. I will also discuss the backward behavior of solutions to the damped driven nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the complex Ginzburg--Landau equation, and the hyperviscous Navier--Stokes equations. In addition, I will provide some physical interpretation of various backward behaviors of several perturbations of the KdV equation by studying explicit cnoidal wave solutions. Furthermore, I will discuss the connection between the backward behavior and the energy spectra of the solutions. The study of backward behavior of dissipative evolution equations is motivated by a conjecture of Bardos and Tartar which states that the solution operator of the two-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations maps the phase space into a dense subset in this space.

Centered Subgraph Counts in Dense Random Graphs

Abstract
Complex networks appear in many fields, from social media to biology, and understanding their structure often boils down to studying how frequently small subgraphs (such as triangles or squares) appear. In this talk, I will introduce the idea of centered subgraph counts: a way of measuring subgraph occurrences that corrects for the dependence that we observe among regular subgraph counts. By focusing on these centered counts, we can describe and quantify the natural 'fluctuations' in dense random networks via tools first developed by Janson and Nowicki in the study of generalised U-statistics in the 90s. I will explain how these theoretical results lead to practical methods for assessing how well a given network fits a chosen statistical model--often referred to as a goodness-of-fit analysis.
