An Introduction to Geometric Numerical Integration(in Five Lectures)

Fernando Casas, Dept. de Matematiques and IMAC, Univ. Jaume I, Spain

Geometric Numerical Integration constitutes nowadays a branch of numerical analysis of dif-ferential equations which aims to provide numerical approximations incorporating qualitativefeatures of the solution of the continuous system being discretized, in particular its geometricproperties. The motivation for developing such structure-preserving algorithms arises indepen-dently in areas of research as diverse as celestial mechanics, molecular dynamics, control theory,particle accelerators physics, and numerical analysis.

Although diverse, the systems appearing in these areas have one important common feature.They all preserve some underlying geometric structure which influences the qualitative nature ofthe phenomena they produce. In geometric numerical integration these properties are built intothe numerical method, which gives the method an improved qualitative behavior, but also allowsfor a significantly more accurate long-time integration than with general-purpose methods.

In addition to the construction of new numerical algorithms, an important aspect of geo-metric integration is the explanation of the relationship between preservation of the geometricproperties of a numerical method and the observed favorable error propagation in long-timeintegration. In the analysis of the methods a number of techniques from different areas of math-ematics, pure and applied, come into play, including Lie groups and Lie algebras, formal seriesof operators, differential and symplectic geometry, etc.

In this short course, we will introduce the main themes, techniques and applications ofgeometric numerical integration, which much emphasis on illustrating them by using simple in-tegrators on well-known physical examples. Program codes will be provided and several exerciseswill also be proposed.

Solutions to some variational PDEs as critical pointsof their Euler-Lagrange functionals

Eduardo Colorado1, ICMAT-UC3M

The aim of this short course is to show some techniques from the Calculus of Variationsapplied to some nonlinear problems. More precisely, we will show some recent results withapplications in nonlinear optics, Hartree fock Theory for Bose-Einstein condensates, Fluid Me-chanics as for example the interactions of gravity water waves, etc.

For the general theory one can see the following references [3, 2, 6, 5], etc. And for the morespecific problems we will show, see [1, 4].

Recent approaches to the Invariant Subspace Problem

Eva A. Gallardo-Gutierrez, ICMAT-UCM andPedro Tradacete Perez, ICMAT-UC3M

The “invariant subspace problem” is among the most famous fundamental open problemsin Functional Analysis. The question is whether every bounded linear operator on a separableinfinite dimensional Hilbert space has non-trivial invariant subspaces. More generally, this iseven open for operators on reflexive Banach spaces. The aim of this course is to provide anintroduction to this problem starting from the basics and glimpsing on recent approaches to itsso far elusive solution.

Outline:

1. Introduction: Banach spaces and basic facts. Lomonosov’s theorem.2. Banach lattices. Positive and quasinilpotent operators.3. Almost invariant subspaces in reflexive Banach spaces.4. Hilbert spaces. Beurling theorem. More on quasinilpotent operators.5. Universal operators.

Una introduccion a la geometrıa generalizada

Mario Garcıa Fernandez ICMAT-CSIC, Madrid andLuis Alvarez Consul, ICMAT-CSIC, Madrid

La geometrıa generalizada fue introducida por Nigel Hitchin en 2003 en su estudio de formasdiferenciales en variedades. La idea basica es sustituir el espacio tangente (espacio de veloci-dades) a una variedad diferenciable por la suma del espacio tangente mas el espacio cotangente(espacio de momentos), y desarrollar las nociones habituales de geometrıa diferencial (campovectorial, metrica, conexion, tensor...) en este nuevo contexto.

El objetivo de este curso es dar una breve introduccion a esta tematica, con enfasis endos tipos de estructuras geometricas: metricas y estructuras complejas generalizadas. Estasnociones geometricas estan motivadas naturalmente en mecanica geometrica (cuantizacion desistemas mecanicos con ligaduras) y en varios contextos de la fısica teorica (supersimetrıa, teorıade cuerdas, supergravedad...), y continuan desarrollandose actualmente por varios grupos dematematicos y fısicos, siendo una fuente de problemas abiertos.

Lectures on combinatorial Hopf algebras and renormalisation

Dominique Manchon, CNRS, France

The objects we now call Hopf algebras appeared in 1941 in an algebraic topological context[3], and quickly became a subject of research in themselves (see e.g. [8]). The interest for themincreased greatly in the Eighties of last century, when quantum groups [4], inspired from latticemodels in statistical mechanics, furnished a family of nontrivial examples appearing as defor-mations of universal enveloping algebras.

Besides the nowadays very active field of research opened by the discovery of quantumgroups, combinatorial Hopf algebras have also been intensively studied. They occupy a particu-lar place among Hopf algebras, due to the fact that they can be studied by induction procedureswith respect to a suitable grading or filtration. Together with the concept or renormalisation[2, 6], they have found numerous applications since the turn of the century, from quantum fieldtheory to analysis and number theory.

This series of lectures will start with the basic definitions and examples: we will explain indetail how a finite group gives rise to two canonical Hopf algebras, and how these two basicexamples are related by duality. Tensor algebras and universal enveloping algebras will also beintroduced. Other more recent examples of combinatorial Hopf algebras will be addressed: shuf-fle and quasi-shuffle Hopf algebras, Hopf algebras of rooted trees, quasi-symmetric functions,Hopf algebras of Feynman graphs, etc. The Connes-Kreimer renormalisation procedure will bealso reviewed, as well as the important notion of pre-Lie algebra [7] closely related to that ofcombinatorial Hopf algebra [5].

The lectures will first closely follow [6] and partly [1, 8], and then address more recent topicsif time permits. No prior knowledge of the theory is requested: the prerequisites are limited toelementary linear algebra. Some familiarity with basic group theory is useful, but the necessarynotions will be recalled.

Concentracion de medida

Jesus Munarriz Aldaz, ICMAT-UAM, Madrid

El tema de la concentracion de medida, en su formulacion mas elemental, se pregunta dondeesta la mayor parte de la masa (medida) en dimensiones altas. Por ejemplo, para una bolaeuclıidea, la mayor parte de la masa esta cerca del borde. Pero tambien esta cerca del ecuador.Mas generalmente, una funcion Lipschitz definida en una bola, es en cierto sentido, aproximada-mente constante.

Este curso tendra un nivel bastante elemental y sera autocontenido. No hay requisitos previosmas alla del calculo en varias variables.

Generating functions in contact topology

Fran Presas, ICMAT-CSIC, Madrid andAlvaro del Pino, ICMAT-CSIC, Madrid

Symplectic geometry (and its odd-dimensional counterpart, contact geometry) first devel-oped as the natural language for the Hamiltonian formalism of mechanics; indeed, much of thecurrent research still focuses on problems of a dynamical nature. On the other hand, it is alsoone of the central ingredients in the study of Mirror Symmetry.

One of the reasons why symplectic geometry is mathematically meaningful is that the groupsof contact and symplectic transformations present a certain “rigidity” that goes beyond algebraictopology. The course will introduce generating function theory as a way of “discretizing” theseinfinite dimensional groups in order to capture their properties. We will focus on the case ofLegendrian submanifolds as a concrete example of the general philosophy.
