We develop a theory of existence, uniqueness and regularity for the following porous medium equation with fractional diffusion, {partial derivative u/partial derivative t + (-Delta)1/2(vertical bar u vertical bar(m-1)u) = 0, x is an element of R(N), t >0, u(x, 0) = f(x), x is an element of R(N), with m > m(*) = (N - 1)/N, N >= 1 and f is an element of L(1) (R(N)). An L(1)-contraction semigroup is constructed and the continuous dependence on data and exponent is established. Nonnegative solutions are proved to be continuous and strictly positive for all x E RN, > 0. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The one-phase fractional Stefan problem

Felix del Teso, Jorgen Endal, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: The study investigates the existence and properties of solutions and free boundaries of the one-phase Stefan problem with fractional diffusion posed in Double-struck capital R-N. We prove the existence of a continuous and bounded selfsimilar solution with a free boundary at the change-of-phase level. The study also provides well-posedness and basic properties of very weak solutions for general bounded data in several dimensions, and explores limits and connections with other diffusion problems.

R. Ferreira, A. de Pablo

Summary: The study focuses on the speed of convergence to infinity of nonglobal solutions to the fractional heat equation ut |(-Delta) (alpha/2)u = u(p). It is proven that under certain conditions, the behavior of the solution near the blow-up time can be characterized. Elementary tools such as rescaling or comparison arguments are used in the proofs.

Blow-up phenomena in nonlocal eigenvalue problems: When theories of L1 and L2 meet

Hardy Chan, David Gomez-Castro, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: The paper presents a linear theory of nonlocal eigenvalue problems involving integro-differential operators posed in bounded domains with homogeneous Dirichlet exterior condition, discussing both cases with and without singular boundary data. Various aspects are explored, including the Fredholm alternative, large solutions, possible blow-up limits, and the behavior as the first eigenvalue is approached. The transfer of orthogonality, existence of large eigenfunctions, and maximum principle for weighted solutions are also highlighted.

Infinite-time concentration in aggregation-diffusion equations with a given potential

Jose A. Carrillo, David Gomez-Castro, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: This paper studies radial solutions of an aggregation-diffusion model that combines nonlinear fast diffusion with a convection term driven by the gradient of a potential. Depending on the exponent of fast diffusion and the potential, the steady state is given by the sum of an explicit integrable function, plus a Dirac delta at the origin containing the rest of the mass of the initial datum, showing a splitting phenomenon.

A heat equation with memory: Large-time behavior

Carmen Cortazar, Fernando Quiros, Noemi Wolanski

Summary: The study focuses on the large-time behavior in all L-p norms of solutions to a heat equation with a Caputo alpha-time derivative, specifically for subdiffusion equations and integrable initial data. The decay rate in all L-p norms is found to greatly depend on the space-time scale, explaining the critical dimension phenomenon. Additionally, the final profiles strongly depend on scale, with the final profile in compact sets being a multiple of the Newtonian potential of the initial datum. These results differ significantly from classical diffusion equations and indicate that these equations are good models for systems with sticking and trapping phenomena or fluids with memory.

Growing solutions of the fractional p-Laplacian equation in the Fast Diffusion range

Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: The study establishes the existence, uniqueness, and quantitative estimates for solutions to the fractional nonlinear diffusion equation, focusing on a certain range of exponents. By obtaining weighted global integral estimates, the existence of solutions for a class of large data is proved, and the dichotomy positivity versus extinction for nonnegative solutions at any given time is established. The analysis includes the conditions for extinction in finite time.

Singular solutions for fractional parabolic boundary value problems

Hardy Chan, David Gomez-Castro, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the parabolic problem with singular data, as well as the impact of initial data and forcing term. When the boundary data is zero, the results coincide with the standard fractional heat semigroup. Furthermore, we explore the spectral theory of the fractional heat semigroup and obtain bounds on the fractional heat kernel.

Anisotropic fast diffusion equations

Filomena Feo, Juan Luis Vazquez, Bruno Volzone

Summary: We prove the existence of self-similar fundamental solutions (SSF) of the anisotropic porous medium equation in the suitable fast diffusion range. Each of such SSF solutions is uniquely determined by its mass. We also obtain the asymptotic behaviour of all finite mass solutions in terms of the family of self-similar fundamental solutions.

Vortex formation for a non-local interaction model with Newtonian repulsion and superlinear mobility

J. A. Carrillo, D. Gomez-Castro, J. L. Vazquez

Summary: This paper discusses the density solutions for gradient flow equations of the form u(t) = del center dot (gamma(u) backward difference N(u)), and compares the results for linear mobility and concave mobility cases. It is found that solutions with compactly supported initial data remain compactly supported and generate moving free boundaries. For the linear mobility case, a special solution in the form of a disk vortex is present, while for the concave mobility case, viscosity solutions exist in the whole space and display a fat tail at infinity.

Decay/growth rates for inhomogeneous heat equations with memory. The case of large dimensions

Carmen Cortazar, Fernando Quiros, Noemi Wolanski

Summary: This study focuses on the decay/growth rates in all L-p norms of solutions to an inhomogeneous nonlocal heat equation in a large dimension space, N > 4 beta. The rates are strongly influenced by the space-time scale and the time behavior of the spatial L-1 norm of the forcing term.

A nonlinear diffusion equation with reaction localized in the half-line

Raul Ferreira, Arturo de Pablo

Summary: We study the behaviour of solutions to a quasilinear heat equation with a reaction restricted to a half-line. We characterize the global existence exponent and Fujita exponent, and then examine the grow-up rate and blow-up rate under different conditions. We show that the grow-up rate differs from the case of global reaction if certain conditions are met.

Large-Time Behavior for a Fully Nonlocal Heat Equation

Carmen Cortazar, Fernando Quiros, Noemi Wolanski

Summary: The study focuses on the large-time behavior of solutions to a nonlocal heat equation in R-N involving a Caputo alpha-time derivative and a power of the Laplacian (-Delta)(s), s is an element of (0, 1), extending recent results for the case s = 1. The main novelty lies in the behavior in fast scales, where results not available for the case s = 1 or the standard heat equation s = 1, alpha = 1 are obtained due to the fat tails of the fundamental solution of the equation.

Linear optimization on varieties and Chern-Mather classes

Laurentiu G. Maxim, Jose Israel Rodriguez, Botong Wang, Lei Wu

Summary: The paper investigates the relationship between linear optimization degree and geometric structure. By analyzing the geometric structure of the conormal variety of an affine variety, the Chern-Mather classes of the given variety can be completely determined. Additionally, the paper shows that these bidegrees coincide with the linear optimization degrees of generic affine sections.

Summary: This paper discusses the problem of constructing matrices of linear forms of constant rank by focusing on vector bundles on projective spaces. It introduces important examples of classical Steiner bundles and Drezet bundles, and uses the classification of globally generated vector bundles to describe completely the indecomposable matrices of constant rank up to six.

Nicoletta Cantarini, Fabrizio Caselli, Victor Kac

Summary: In this paper, we construct a duality functor in the category of continuous representations to study the Lie superalgebra E(4, 4). By constructing a specific type of Lie conformal superalgebra, we obtain that E(4, 4) is its annihilation algebra. Furthermore, we also obtain an explicit realization of E(4, 4) on a supermanifold in the process of studying.

Decay rates of convergence for Fokker-Planck equations with confining drift

Alessio Porretta

Summary: This article discusses Fokker-Planck equations driven by Levy processes in the entire Euclidean space, under the influence of confining drifts, similar to the classical Ornstein-Ulhenbeck model. A new PDE method is introduced to obtain exponential or sub-exponential decay rates of zero average solutions as time goes to infinity, under certain diffusivity conditions on the Levy process, including the fractional Laplace operator as a model example. The approach relies on long-time oscillation estimates of the adjoint problem and applies to both local and nonlocal diffusions, as well as strongly or weakly confining drifts.

Counting conjectures and e-local structures in finite reductive groups

Damiano Rossi

Summary: In this study, we prove new results in generalised Harish-Chandra theory by providing a description of the Brauer-Lusztig blocks using the p-adic cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties. We then propose new conjectures for finite reductive groups by considering geometric analogues of the p-local structures. Our conjectures coincide with the counting conjectures for large primes, thanks to a connection established between p-structures and their geometric counterparts. Finally, we simplify our conjectures by reducing them to the verification of Clifford theoretic properties.
