### Seminari Passati

• One-Slice Preserving Functions of a Quaternionic Variable
Chiara de Fabritiis, Università Politecnica delle Marche
giovedì 15 marzo 2018 alle ore 14:00 precise, Aula seminari del terzo piano
ABSTRACT
Regular functions on the skew-field of quaternions were introduced by
Gentili and Struppa some 10 years ago in order to give an analogue of
holomorphic functions in a non commutative setting. After a (short)
introduction, I will give a formula which allows us to simplify the
understanding of the *-product, which corresponds to the pointwise
product of holomorphic functions. The peculiar structure of quaternions,
foliated in copies of complex plane, drives naturally to consider the
classes of functions which preserve either one or all complex slices.
The main part of the talk will be devoted to characterize the functions
whose sum, *-product or conjugate preserve a slice. At the end, time permitting, I will address to the case of *-powers which shows an unexpected connection with a problem of algebraic geometry studied by Causa and Re. (Joint work with A. Altavilla)
• The constant scalar curvature equation in some singular spaces
Gilles Carron, Laboratoire de Mathématiques Jean Leray (UMR 6629), Université de Nantes, CNRS
mercoledì 14 marzo 2018 alle ore 16:30, Sala Consiglio, 7 piano, Edificio La Nave, Via Bonardi 9
ABSTRACT
I will survey the recent results about the Yamabe problem on stratified spaces. I will first introduce the scalar curvature and the Yamabe equation for the constant scalar curvature equation and its variational formulation and the results of Obata, Trudinger, Aubin and Schoen for smooth compact manifold. Then I will describe the geometry of stratified space with some 2D and 3D examples. Eventually I will formulate the Yamabe problem for stratified space and explained some of the recent results and will explain some perspectives.
• Spectral distribution of sequences of structured matrices: GLT theory and applications
Debora Sesana, University of Insubria – Como –
martedì 13 marzo 2018 alle ore 15:00, Aula Seminari ‘Saleri’ VI Piano MOX-Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano – Edificio 14
ABSTRACT
Any discretization of a given differential problem for some sequence of stepsizes h tending to zero leads to a sequence of systems of linear equations {Am xm = bm}, where the dimension of {Am} depends on h and tends to infinity for h going to 0. To properly face the solution of such linear systems, it is important to deeply understand the spectral properties of the matrices {Am} in order to construct efficient preconditioners and to study the convergence of applied iterative methods. The spectral distribution of a sequence of matrices is a fundamental concept. Roughly speak- ing, saying that the sequence of matrices {Am} is distributed as the function f means that the eigenvalues of Am behave as a sampling of f over an equispaced grid of the domain of f, at least if f is smooth enough. The function f is called the symbol of the sequence. Many distribution results are known for particular sequences of structured matrices: diagonal matrices, Toeplitz matrices, etc. and an approximation theory for sequences of matrices has been developed to deduce spectral distributions of “complicated” matrix sequences from the spectral distribution of “simpler” matrix sequences. In this respect, recently, has played a fundamental role the theory of Generalized Locally Toeplitz (GLT) sequences (introduced by Tilli (1998) and Serra-Capizzano (2002, 2006)), which allows to deduce the spectral properties of matrix sequences obtained as a combination (linear combinations, products, inversion) of Toeplitz matrices and diagonal matrices; to this category belong many stiffness matrices arising from the discretization, using various methods, of PDEs. We present the main concepts of this theory with some applications.
This is a joint work with Stefano Serra-Capizzano and Carlo Garoni.

• Post-Quantum Group-based Cryptography
Delaram Kahrobaei, New York City College of Technology
giovedì 8 marzo 2018 alle ore 14:30 precise, Aula seminari, III piano, Dipartimento di matematica
ABSTRACT
The National Security Agency (NSA) in August 2015 announced plans to transition to post-quantum algorithms “Currently, Suite B cryptographic algorithms are specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and are used by NSA’s Information Assurance Directorate in solutions approved for protecting classified and unclassified National Security Systems (NSS). Below, we announce preliminary plans for transitioning to quantum resistant algorithms.”

Shortly after the National Institute of Standardization and Technology (NIST) announced a call to select standards for post-quantum public-key cryptosystems.

The academic and industrial communities have suggested as the quantum-resistant primitives: Lattice-based, Multivariate, Code-based, Hash-based, Isogeny-based and group-based primitives.

In this talk I will focus on some ideas of (semi)group-based primitives. The one which was proposed to NIST is by SecureRF company based in Connecticut, among its founders there is a number theorist (Goldfeld) and two group theorists (Anshel and Anshel). They proposed a digital signature using a hard algorithmic problem in Braid groups, namely conjugacy problem.

I will then give a survey of some other suggested group-based cryptosystems that could be claimed as post-quantum cryptosystems.

Ulisse Stefanelli, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, and CNR Pavia
giovedì 1 marzo 2018 alle ore 14:00, Aula Consiglio VII Piano – Edificio 14, Dipartimento di Matematica POLITECNICO DI MILANO
ABSTRACT
I will review recent results on the analysis of graphene via variational methods. The setting is that of Molecular Mechanics: carbon atoms are identified with their nuclear positions and their bonds are described via classical two- and three-body interactions. I will discuss the crystallization problem in both two and three dimensions, the mechanics of the (planar) crystal under tension, the rolling-up of free graphene patches, and the emergence of ripples in suspended samples.

• Sobolev and BV functions in infinite dimension
Alessandra Lunardi, Università di Parma
venerdì 23 febbraio 2018 alle ore 10:30 precise, Sala Consiglio, 7 piano, Edificio La Nave, Via Bonardi 9
ABSTRACT
In Hilbert or Banach spaces $X$ endowed with a good probability measure $\mu$ there are a few “natural” definitions of Sobolev spaces and of spaces of bounded variation functions. The available theory deals mainly with Gaussian measures and Sobolev and BV functions defined in the whole $X$, while the study and Sobolev and BV spaces in domains, and/or with respect to non Gaussian measures, is largely to be developed.
As in finite dimension, Sobolev and BV functions are tools for the study of different problems, in particular for PDEs with infinitely many variables, arising in mathematical physics in the modeling of systems with an
infinite number of degrees of freedom, and in stochastic PDEs through Kolmogorov equations.
In this talk I will describe some of the main features and open problems concerning such function spaces.
