10:30 · 11:10 Hardy inequalities in twisted waveguides

The Dirichlet Laplacian in tubular domains is a simple but remarkably successful model for the quantum Hamiltonian in mesoscopic waveguide systems. We make an overview of geometrically induced Hardy-type inequalities established recently for the Laplacian in twisted tubes, and mention consequences for the electronic transport. We begin by recalling the classical Hardy inequality and its relation to geometric, spectral, stochastic and other properties of the underlying Euclidean space. After discussing the complexity of the problem when reformulated for quasi-cylindrical subdomains, we give a proof of the Hardy inequality due to a twist of three-dimensional tubes of uniform cross-section and use it to prove certain stability of the spectrum. We also discuss similar effects induced by curvature of the ambient space or switch of boundary conditions.

In this work we prove the existence of a compact global attractor for the flow of the equation


\frac{\partial m(r,t)}{\partial t} = -m(r,t)+g(\beta J*M(r,t)+\beta h)
\qquad h, \beta \geq 0

in L2(S1). We also show that the flow is gradient and the global attractor depends continuosly on the parameters h and . AMS subject classification: 34G20,47H15.

12:10 · 13:10 Creating materials with desired refraction coefficient

A method is given for calculation of a distribution of small impedance particles, which should be embedded in a bounded domain, filled with material with known refraction coefficient, in order that the resulting new material would have a desired refraction coefficient. The new material may be created so that it has some desired wave-focusing properies. For example, it can scatter plane wave mostly in a fixed solid angle. The inverse scattering problem with scattering data given at a fixed wave number and at a fixed incident direction is formulated and solved.
