Professor Luca Capogna , Smith College Title : CURVE SHRINKING FLOW IN CARNOT GROUPS

Abstract: This is a preliminary report on a joint project with Enrico Le Donne (University of Fribourg, Switzerland). Motivated by the study of geodesics in sub - Riemannian geometry, we use techniques from Lie group geometry and Calculus of Variations to derive a system of PDE that describes the gradient flow of the length functional for horizontal (i.e. tangent to the first layer of the Lie algebra stratification) curves in a rank - two Carnot group of arbitrary step. Similar ly to the Euclidean area - preserving curve shrinking flow, our PDE has a nonlocal term, which arises in view of the non - holonomic constraint, i.e. for each time the curve must be horizontal. We prove short time existence for the flow, if the initial data i s a non - abnormal horizontal curve, and provide some indications of what happens in the abnormal case.

Welcome Ceremony for Class of 2021 New Students

An exhibition of images generated by OIST researchers over the past 10 years. Part of the OIST 10th Anniversary celebrations.

PhD Public Presentation

The “Synergy” art exhibition was born out of a desire to showcase the artistic talents of the OIST community to the Okinawan community and to visitors from the mainland. Moreover, the exhibition aims to foster stronger relationships between OIST and the Okinawan community by promoting the development of artistic expression.
