Internet Seminar 2023/24: Harmonic Analysis Techniques for Elliptic Operators
The internet seminar on evolution equations has been organized every year since 1997 by several working groups in Germany, Italy, Hungary and the Netherlands. It was founded by the functional analysis group in Tübingen. The participants are advanced master students and Ph.D students. From October to February the participants obtain weekly study material at a website. They are supervised by local coordinators at their university (in Karlsruhe: D. Frey, P.Kunstmann, R. Schnaubelt and P. Tolksdorf). From April to June they work in (internationally mixed) small groups on a project and report on it in June at the final workshop. This year's workshop takes place in Luminy near Marseille from 17 to 21 June 2024.
This internet seminar is organised by Moritz Egert (Darmstadt), Robert Haller (Darmstadt), Sylvie Monniaux (Marseille), and Patrick Tolksdorf (Karlsruhe). It presents how properties of elliptic operators in divergence form can be revealed by modern techniques of harmonic analysis. While classical Fourier analysis is well suited to analyze the Laplacian, it turns out that the analysis of general elliptic operators requires some kind of Fourier anaylsis that is adapted to that operator. The developed techniques will finally be used to solve the famous Kato Square Root Problem. Basic knowledge in functional analysis and complex analysis as well as on the Frouier transform are needed.
One can register for the internet seminar at its web page, where further information is given. See also the description of the course. In Karlsruhe we will discuss the weekly material in the lecture (or better: the reading course) Internetseminar für Evolutionsgleichungen. You can find the history of this series of seminars on the internet seminar web site of our group.
Research
CRC 1173 Wave phenomena: analysis and numerics
In the three funding periods of the Collaborative Research Centre 1173 (07/15 - 06/27), I have been speaker of the integrated research group and principal investigator of the projects
- A4: Time integration of Maxwell and wave-type equations (with M. Hochbruck),
- A5: Qualitative behavior of nonlinear Maxwell equations.
- A13: Dispersive estimates for wave equations with low regularity coefficients (with D. Frey, since 01.07.21).
In the first funding period (07/15 - 06/19) I was also a principal investigator of the projects B2: Dispersion Management (with D. Hundertmark) and B5: Biharmonic wave maps (with T. Lamm).
Research interests
- Qualitative properties of evolution equations, in particular of hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations:
- Wellposedness and regularity. Dispersive estimates.
- Asymptotic properties of solutions: global existence versus blow-up, stability, convergence, invariant manifolds.
- Error analysis for numerical schemes of time integration.
- Lp-regularity of linear parabolic partial differential equations with unbounded or degenerate coefficients.
- Recent research focus: Maxwell equations.
- Control theory.
- Spectral and operator theory.

Euro-Maghrebian Workshops on Evolution Equations
Since the late 90s the Euro-Maghrebian Workshops on Evolutions Equations have been organized biannually by working groups in Germany, Italy, and France, as well as Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. This series was started in 1999 by Rainer Nagel and Abdelaziz Rhandi Marrakesh. In these workshops we put a special emphasis on mini courses about recent topics in evolution equations. An overview of these meetings is given on this website.
