401-3536-11LGeometric Aspects of Hamiltonian DynamicsW6 KP3VP. Biran
KurzbeschreibungThe course will concentrate on the geometry of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms introduced by Hofer in the early 1990's and its relations to various topics in symplectic geometry such as capacities, Lagrangian submanifolds, holomorphic curves, as well as recent algebraic structures on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms such as quasi-morphisms.

401-4767-66LPartial Differential Equations (Hyperbolic PDEs)W7 KP4VD. Christodoulou
KurzbeschreibungThe course begins with characteristics, the definition of hyperbolicity,
causal structure and the domain of dependence theorem. The course then focuses
on nonlinear systems of equations in two independent variables, in particular the
Euler equations of compressible fluids with plane symmetry and the Einstein equations
of general relativity with spherical symmetry.
LernzielThe objective is to introduce students in mathematics and physics to an area of
mathematical analysis involving differential geometry which is of fundamental importance
for the development of classical macroscopic continuum physics.
InhaltThe course shall begin with the basic structure associated to hyperbolic
partial differential equations, characteristic hypersurfaces and bicharacteristics,
causal structure, and the domain of dependence theorem. The course shall then focus
on nonlinear systems of equations in two independent variables. The first topic shall be
the Euler equations of compressible fluids under plane symmetry where we shall
study the formation of shocks, and second topic shall be the Einstein equations
of general relativity under spherical symmetry where we shall study the formation of
black holes and spacetime singularities.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesBasic real analysis and differential geometry.
401-4831-66LMathematical Themes in General Relativity IW4 KP2VA. Carlotto
KurzbeschreibungFirst part of a one-year course offering a rigorous introduction to general relativity, with special emphasis on aspects of current interest in mathematical research. Topics covered include: initial value formulation of the Einstein equations, causality theory and singularities, constructions of data sets by gluing or conformal methods, asymptotically flat spaces and positive mass theorems.
LernzielAcquisition of a solid and broad background in general relativity and mastery of the basic mathematical methods and ideas developed in such context and successfully exploited in the field of geometric analysis.
InhaltLorentzian geometry; geometric review of special relativity; the Einstein equations and their basic classes of special solutions; the Einstein equations as an initial-value problem; causality theory and hyperbolicity; singularities and trapped domains; Penrose diagrams; asymptotically flat spaces: ADM invariants, positive mass theorems, Penrose inequalities, geometric properties.
SkriptLecture notes written by the instructor will be provided to all enrolled students.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesThe content of the basic courses of the first three years at ETH will be assumed. In particular, enrolled students are expected to be fluent both in Differential Geometry (at least at the level of Differentialgeometrie I, II) and Functional Analysis (at least at the level of Funktionalanalysis I, II). Some background on partial differential equations, mainly of elliptic and hyperbolic type, (say at the level of the monograph by L. C. Evans) would also be desirable.

401-4463-62LFourier Analysis in Function Space TheoryW6 KP3VT. Rivière
KurzbeschreibungIn the most important part of the course, we will present the notion of Singular Integrals and Calderón-Zygmund theory as well as its application to the analysis of linear elliptic operators.
Lernziel
InhaltDuring the first lectures we will review the theory of tempered distributions and their Fourier transforms. We will go in particular through the notion of Fréchet spaces, Banach-Steinhaus for Fréchet spaces etc. We will then apply this theory to the Fourier characterization of Hilbert-Sobolev spaces.
In the second part of the course we will study fundamental pro­perties of the Hardy-Littlewood Maximal Function in relation with L^p spaces. We will then make a digression through the notion of Marcinkiewicz weak L^p spaces and Lorentz spaces. At this occa­sion we shall give in particular a proof of Aoki-Rolewicz theorem on the metrisability of quasi-normed spaces. We will introduce the preduals to the weak L^p spaces, the Lorentz L^{p',1} spaces as well as the general L^{p,q} spaces and show some applications of these dualities such as the improved Sobolev embeddings.
In the third part of the course, the most important one, we will present the notion of Singular Integrals and Calderón-Zygmund theory as well as its application to the analysis of linear elliptic operators.
This theory will naturally bring us, via the so called Littlewood-Paley decomposition, to the Fourier characterization of classical Hilbert and non Hilbert Function spaces which is one of the main goals of this course.
If time permits we shall present the notion of Paraproduct, Para­compositions and the use of Littlewood-Paley decomposition for estimating products and general non-linearities. We also hope to cover fundamental notions from integrability by compensation theory such as Coifman-Rochberg-Weiss commutator estimates and some of its applications to the analysis of PDE.

401-4475-66LPartial Differential Equations and Semigroups of Bounded Linear Operators Information W4 KP2GA. Jentzen
KurzbeschreibungIn this course we study the concept of a semigroup of bounded linear operators and we use this concept to investigate existence, uniqueness, and regularity properties of solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) of the evolutionary type.
LernzielThe aim of this course is to teach the students a decent knowledge (i) on semigroups of bounded linear operators, (ii) on solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) of the evolutionary type, and (iii) on the analytic concepts used to formulate and study such semigroups and such PDEs.
InhaltThe course includes content (i) on semigroups of bounded linear operators, (ii) on solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) of the evolutionary type, and (iii) on the analytic concepts used to formulate and study such semigroups and such PDEs. Key example PDEs that are treated in this course are heat and wave equations.
