First, P 1 2 we consider the Hx × L x scattering theory for the energy log-subcritical wave equation 4 u D juj ug.juj/ in R1C3, where g has logarithmic growth at 0. We discuss the solution with general (respectively spherically symmetric) initial data in the logarithmically weighted (respectively lower regularity) Sobolev space. We also include some observation about scattering in the energy subcritical case. The second problem studied involves the energy log-supercritical wave equation D j j4 α C j j2 ≤ 4 u u u log .2 u / for 0 < α 3 1C3 P 1 P 2 1 in R . We prove the same results of global existence and .Hx \ Hx / × Hx scattering for this equation with a slightly higher power of the logarithm factor in the nonlinearity than that allowed in previous work by Tao (J.

Keywords: scattering, log-subcritical, radial Sobolev inequality. 1 2 HSI-WEISHIH P 1 2 The main goal of the paper is to study the Hx × L x scattering theory for log-subcritical wave equations with finite energy initial data, where the energy is defined by (3). In this paper, the term log-subcritical wave equation refers to (1) with f defined by jzj4zg.jzj/; jzj 6D 0; f .z/ VD (4) 0; jzj D 0; where g V .0; 1/ ! R is smooth, nonincreasing, and satisfies 8−log x; 0 < x < 1 ; < 3 VD ∼ 1 ≤ g.x/ 1; 3 x < 1; (5) :1; x ≥ 1: We also prove global existence in the case of spherical symmetry for log-supercritical wave equations, by which we mean equations of the form 4 α 2 u D juj u log .2 C juj / (6) ≤ 4 ≤ In this paper, we will allow 0 < α 3 , extending the range 0 < α 1 allowed in[Tao 2007]. We also assume that the initial data is in the energy space, the set of data for which the energy (3) is finite. Remark 1.1. We can easily compute that the potential function of log-subcritical wave equations (1), (4), and (5) is 8− 1 jzj6log.jzj/ − 1 ; 0 < jzj < 1 ; <> 6 6 3 D ∼ 1 j j6 1 ≤ j j Fsub.z/ 6 z ; 3 z < 1; (7) > : 1 j j6 j j ≥ 6 z ; z 1; and the potential function of the log-supercritical wave equations (6) is 6 α 2 Fsup.z/ ∼ jzj log .2 C jzj /: (8) We quickly recall some common terminology associated to the scaling properties of (1). Consider f .z/ D jzjp−1z and let u be the solution of (1). By scaling, λ2=.1−p/u.t/λ; x/λ) is also a solution with 2=.1−p/ .1Cp/=.1−p/ initial data λ u0.t0/λ; x/λ) and λ u1.t0/λ; x/λ). Hence the scaling of u preserves the homogeneous Sobolev norm ku0kHP sc .R3/ C ku1kHP sc−1.R3/ if 3 2 4 sc VD − ; or equivalently p D 1 C : 2 p − 1 3 − 2sc p−1 P s Definition 1.2. For f .z/Djzj z and a given value s, we call (1) an Hx -critical (subcritical, supercritical) nonlinear wave equation if p equals (is less than, is greater than) 1C4=.3−2s/. In particular, when s D 1, we call (1) an energy critical (subcritical, supercritical) nonlinear wave equation if p D 5 (p < 5, p > 5). 4 The results of global existence and uniqueness for the energy-critical (u D juj u) and energy- p−1 subcritical (u D juj u, where p < 5) wave equations are already established by [Brenner and von Wahl 1981; Struwe 1988; Grillakis 1990; 1992; Shatah and Struwe 1993; 1994; Kapitanski 1994; Ginibre and Velo 1985]. It is natural to consider the decay of the solution, which we expect to behave linearly SCATTERINGTHEORYFORLOG-SUBCRITICALANDLOG-SUPERCRITICALNLW 3 as t ! ±∞. The decay estimate and scattering theory (see section 2 for definition) of critical wave equations are shown in[Bahouri and Shatah 1998]; see also[Bahouri and Gérard 1999; Ginibre and Velo 1989; Nakanishi 1999]. Hidano[2001] (see also[Ginibre and Velo 1987]), by the property of conformal 5 ≤ invariance, proved that the solutions for certain subcritical wave equations ( 2 < p 3) scatter in the weighted Sobolev space 6 VD X × Y , where 1 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 X VD Hx .R / \ fφ V jxjrφ 2 L x .R /g; Y VD L x .R / \ fφ V jxjφ 2 L x .R /g: P 1 2 1 However, for energy subcritical equations, the Hx × L x scattering theory still remains open. In this paper, we consider the solutions to the log-subcritical wave equations (1), (4), and (5) with finite energy initial data. The global existence result is established in [Grillakis 1990; 1992; Kapitanski 1994; Nakanishi P 1 2 1999]. We will prove that the solutions with a class of initial data scatter in Hx × L x . This class of data is contained in logarithmically weighted Sobolev spaces X1 × Y1, where P 1 3 γ 2 3 X1 VD Hx .R / \ fφ V log .1 C jxj/rφ 2 L x .R /g; (9) 2 3 γ 2 3 Y1 VD L x .R / \ fφ V log .1 C jxj)φ 2 L x .R /g 1 for some γ > 2 . For initial data in these spaces, we show that the potential energy of the solution decays logarithmically for all large times. After dividing the time interval suitably, this decay helps us to control the key spacetime norm k f .u/k 1 2 .

The citation for the award reads: The Clay Mathematics Institute hereby awards the Millennium Prize for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture to Grigoriy Perelman. The Poincaré conjecture is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems established by CMI in 2000. The Prizes were conceived to record some of the most difficult problems with which mathematicians were grappling at the turn of the second millennium; to elevate in the consciousness of the general public the fact that in mathematics, the frontier is still open and abounds in important unsolved problems; to emphasize the importance of working towards a solution of the deepest, most difficult problems; and to recognize achievement in mathematics of historical magnitude. The award of the Millennium Prize to Dr. Perelman was made in accord with their governing rules: recommendation first by a Special Advisory Committee (Simon Donaldson, David Gabai, Mikhail Gromov, Terence Tao, and Andrew Wiles), then by the CMI Scientific Advisory Board (James Carlson, Simon Donaldson, Gregory Margulis, Richard Melrose, Yum-Tong Siu, and Andrew Wiles), with final decision by the Board of Directors (Landon T.

  • The Work of Terence Tao
    The work of Terence Tao Charles Fefferman Mathematics at the highest level has several flavors. On seeing it, one might say: (A) What amazing technical power! (B) What a grand synthesis! (C) How could anyone not have seen this before? (D) Where on earth did this come from? The work of Terence Tao encompasses all of the above. One cannot hope to capture its extraordinary range in a few pages. My goal here is simply to exhibit a few contributions by Tao and his collaborators, sufficient to produce all the reactions (A)...(D). I shall discuss the Kakeya problem, nonlinear Schrödinger equations and arithmetic progressions of primes. Let me start with a vignette from Tao’s work on the Kakeya problem, a beautiful and fundamental question at the intersection of geometry and combinatorics. I shall state the problem, comment briefly on its significance and history, and then single out my own personal favorite result, by Nets Katz and Tao. The original Kakeya problem was to determine the least possible area of a plane region inside which a needle of length 1 can be turned a full 360 degrees. Besicovitch and Pál showed that the area can be taken arbitrarily small. In its modern form, the Kakeya problem is to estimate the fractal dimension of a “Besicovitch set” E ⊂ Rn, i.e., a set containing line segments of length 1 in all directions. There are several relevant notions of “fractal dimension”. Here, let us use the Minkowski dimension, defined in terms of coverings of E by small balls of a fixed radius δ.

  • Causal Aggregation: Estimation and Inference of Causal Effects by Constraint-Based Data Fusion
    Causal aggregation: estimation and inference of causal effects by constraint-based data fusion Jaime Roquero Gimenez and Dominik Rothenhäusler Department of Statistics Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305, USA Abstract Randomized experiments are the gold standard for causal inference. In experiments, usually one variable is manipulated and its effect on an outcome is measured. However, practitioners may also be interested in the effect on a fixed target variable of simultaneous interventions on multiple covariates. We propose a novel method that allows to estimate the effect of joint interventions using data from different experiments in which only very few variables are manipulated. If the joint causal effect is linear, the proposed method can be used for estimation and inference of joint causal effects, and we characterize conditions for identifiability. The proposed method allows to combine data sets arising from randomized experiments as well as observational data sets for which IV assumptions or unconfoundedness hold: we indicate how to leverage all the available causal information to efficiently estimate the causal effects in the overidentified setting. If the dimension of the covariate vector is large, we may have data from experiments on every covariate, but only a few samples per randomized covariate. Under a sparsity assumption, we derive an estimator of the causal effects in this high-dimensional scenario. In addition, we show how to deal with the case where a lack of experimental constraints prevents direct estimation of the causal effects. When the joint causal effects are non-linear, we characterize conditions under which identifiability holds, and propose a non-linear causal aggregation methodology for experimental data sets similar to the gradient boosting algorithm where in each iteration we combine weak learners trained on different datasets using only unconfounded samples.
