Pedro Nunes Lectures 2025 Oscillatory Multilinear Inequalities by Michael Christ 2025-05-07
Integrals involving rapidly oscillatory factors abound. Quintessential examples include the Fourier transform, integral operators employed in the analysis of wave phenomena, and exponential sums. The concept of stationary phase is a central element of the theory.
The Fourier transform can be viewed as a linear operator, or a bilinear form. We focus on multilinear operators, which are less canonical than the Fourier transform and are open to structural questions reflecting their diversity.
We begin with certain multilinear inequalities which do not involve cancellation, generalizing convolution. We then bring oscillation into the picture, and finally discuss inequalities for multilinear forms in which the oscillation is implicit in the structure of the inequalities, rather than appearing explicitly in the integrals. The notion of stationary phase is reborn in mutated form.
Along the way we will see connections to web geometry, Hilbert's tenth problem, additive combinatorics, convex geometry, Ramsey theory, computer science, weak continuity, and ergodic theory.
Luis T. Magalhães’s book published by Springer Nature 2025-05-02
The book "Complex Analysis and Dynamics in One Variable with Applications", by Professor Luis T. Magalhães of the Department of Mathematics, was recently published by Springer Nature. The book provides a gentle introduction to Complex Analysis, uniquely unifying ideas and concepts, and includes all the standard material required for a one‑year, graduate‑level course. Additionally, it is enriched with historical notes that help contextualize the theory.

José Natário interviewed by BBC Science Focus Magazine. 2020-06-09
"Warp drive" refers to certain mathematical solutions of Einstein's equations in General Relativity that would allow faster than light travel by deforming spacetime appropriately. However, general theorems proved by José Natário in 2002 show that these solutions are physically unattainable, since they always involve negative energy and the formation of horizons. Recently, José Natário discussed these results in an interview to BBC Science Focus Magazine.

New book by Barreira & Valls 2019-04-15
Luís Barreira and Claudia Valls have published Sistemas Dinâmicos via exemplos though ISTPRESS.

Course on Martingale problem and lumpability for Markov processes 2019-02-18 — 2019-03-14
A one month course by Johel Beltrán, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, with sessions Mon, Wed, Thu, from 14:00 to 16:00, February 18 to March 14 2019. Room 5.18, Mathematics Building on the IST Alameda campus.
The martingale problem is an important tool in probability theory introduced by Stroock and Varadhan as an approach to Markov processes. The purpose of this course is to present a detailed introduction to the martingale problem theory as well as a review of recent applications to the study of two different subjects:
metastability of zero range processes and
Kingman’s process as scaling limit for coalescing random walks.
Interestingly, they both will be tackled as instances of a more general problem: lumpability for Markov processes.

Mini-course on Hydrodynamic limit of particle systems on resistance spaces 2019-01-25 — 2019-02-06
The goal of the mini-course by Joe Chen is to describe the recent progress on establishing scaling limits of many-particle systems on state spaces which are bounded in the resistance metric, a.k.a. "resistance spaces." These include trees, fractals, and random graphs arising from critical percolation. As a concrete example, one can establish scaling limits of the weakly asymmetric exclusion process on the Sierpinski gasket interacting with 3 boundary reservoirs, which generalizes (in a nontrivial way) the analysis on the unit interval interacting with 2 boundary reservoirs.
The key ideas behind these results will be explained, and connections to the analysis of (S)PDEs, and issues of non-equilibrium statistical physics, on resistance spaces will be discussed. From a technical point of view, some novel functional inequalities for the exclusion process that relates to electrical resistance will be addressed, and the way they are used to effect "coarse-graining" in passing to the scaling limits will be described.

LARSyS Lecture Series in Engineering and Mathematics 2011-11-08
A new Lecture Series sponsored by CAMGSD in the framework of the Associate Laboratory LARSyS started on November 8, 2011.
New faces at CAMGSD
As usual the new academic year has brought lots of new faces to CAMGSD. These include post-doctoral fellowsDaniele Sepe, João Esteves, Matias del Hoyo, Pedro Vaz and Xavier Roulleau, and doctoral studentsRoberto Machado Velho and Sinan Eden.
CAMGSD is now a part of the Associate Laboratory LARSyS
It is with the deepest regret that we announce the passing of Professor Jack Hale. His continued support during the years was felt under a great many number of forms, starting with his direct support to the Mathematics Department in its launch of its Master Programme in 1984, and including his support to the Centro de Análise Matemática, Geometria e Sistemas Dinâmicos through its Advisory Board.
His contribution to the Development of Department of Mathematics was recognized by Instituto Superior Técnico with the award of a Honoris Causa Doctorate through Universidade Técnica de Lisboa in 1991. In 1999 the Center organized at IST an International Conference in his honor under the title Dynamical Systems and Evolutionary Equations. It is impossible to overestimate his contribution to the development of CAMGSD.
The Information and Communication Technologies Institute is an international virtual institution with poles in Portugal and at Carnegie Mellon University.
This page contains news items which were highlighted in the CAMGSD site and somehow are still relevant. Additional news item may correspond to meetings.
