Courses
Optimal transport
MATH-476
The first part is devoted to Monge and Kantorovitch problems, discussing the existence and the properties of the optimal plan. The second part introduces the Wasserstein distance on measures and develops applications of optimal transport to PDEs, functional/geometric inequalities, gradient flows.
Topics on the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations
MATH-647
This topics course focuses on recent and classical fundamental results on the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, such as global existence of weak solutions, (non)uniqueness results, blow-ups, partial regularity, anomalous dissipation.
