This would not have been possible without the support of a number of persons to whom I am very grateful. First and foremost, I am greatly indebted to Prof. Koch. His thesis supervision provided just the right mixture of guidance and freedom. I could always rely on his support, his patience and his thoughtful advice. His broad overview and his many heuristic arguments have been an invaluable source of inspiration and moti- vation. Moreover, I would like to thank Prof. Otto for his unwavering interest in and support of my work on phase transitions. In particular, I would like to thank him for introducing me to this fascinating topic, for the many inspiring discussions and invitations to Leipzig. Further thanks go to the Bonn International Graduate School in Mathematics and the Deutsche Telekom Stiftung for their very generous non-monetary and financial support. Bonn and BIGS have provided a very stimulating mathematical environ- ment. Also, I have greatly enjoyed the various seminars and meetings hosted by the Deutsche Telekom Stiftung. It provided me the opportunity to meet other young, enthusiastic researchers from various fields in the natural sciences. This has led to many exciting discussions and new friendships. I also owe great gratitude to those with whom I could discuss numerous mathe- matical and non-mathematical issues on a daily basis. The whole research group including Shaoming Guo, Dominik John, Habiba Kalantarova, Clemens Kienzler, Diogo Oliveira e Silva, Irene Paniccia, Tobias Schottdorf, Stefan Steinerberger and Christian Zillinger have always listened to the latest ideas and problems. I owe them many thoughtful comments and thank them for the wonderful work atmo- sphere they have created. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family and friends – most of all my parents and Christian. Without their infinite encouragement, support and love this would not have been possible. Introduction This thesis is dedicated to two types of “rigidity properties” occurring in certain PDEs. These rigidity notions are rather complementary – the first originating from the study of controllability, the second appearing in the context of material sciences. While the first notion of rigidity is typical of elliptic (and parabolic) equations, the second one is mainly associated with hyperbolic equations and systems. Before describing precisely the setting of our problems, we recall two prototypes of the rigidity properties we have in mind: The first rigidity property we deal with is associated with the unique continu- • ation principle. Here the model operator is given by the Laplacian. Due to its analyticity, a solution which vanishes of infinite order at a point must already vanish globally. Thus, a naturally arising question is whether this extends to more general operators and, in the case of a positive answer, to which ones. In this thesis we deal with two problems of such a flavour: The first is concerned with a parabolic “unique continuation problem at infinity”, while the second treats the unique continuation problem for the fractional Laplacian. In the second problem we put a particular emphasis on requiring as little regularity as pos- sible. The second rigidity problem we investigate concerns a system of PDEs and • is related to the notion of characteristics (in first order equations). Although we are confronted with a system, this type of “rigidity property” is already present in scalar (hyperbolic) equations: A toy problem would, for example, be the transport equation for which the characteristics of the system are straight lines. A more elaborate (toy) model is, for instance, given by the following two-dimensional gradient inclusion problem: 1 0 1 0 u , − + Skew(2). ∇ ∈ 0 1 0 1 − Using the discreteness of the symmetrized gradient and the compatibility con- ditions, one finds that solutions, u, either satisfy e( u) := 1 ( u + ( u)t)= ∇ 2 ∇ ∇ f(x x ) or e( u)= g(x +x ). Thus in both examples, the scalar transport 1 − 2 ∇ 1 2 iv CONTENTS v equation and the differential inclusion, the solutions are necessarily of the form of waves propagating along certain characteristics. In this sense the solutions are very rigid. We remark that although solving a PDE with the method of characteristics is not uncommon when dealing with scalar equations, it often poses problems in the context of systems as the resulting equations are not closed. In this thesis we deal with the classification of all possible solutions of a certain (vector-valued) differential inclusion which arises in the study of phase transi- tions in certain shape-memory materials such as CuAlNi. For this transition we prove two complementary results: On the one hand, one cannot hope for rigidity for a too weak notion of a solution. On the other hand, adding regular- ity constraints, the problem becomes rigid and only very specific, essentially two-dimensional patterns occur. Keeping this brief description of the different notions of rigidity in mind, we present the problems which are discussed in this thesis in greater detail: The backward uniqueness property in conical domains. This problem deals with the controllability of the heat equation (and perturbations thereof): ∂ u ∆u = W u + W u in Ω (0,T ), t − 1 2 · ∇ θ × u = u in Ω 0 , 0 θ ×{ } Here Ωθ is a cone with opening angle θ. We aim at understanding the interplay of the strong diffusivity and the unbounded underlying geometry. As is known since, for example, the work of Zuazua and Micu [MZ01a], [MZ01b], there is a major discrepancy between bounded and unbounded domains. While the heat equation is null-controllable, i.e. by choosing adapted boundary data it is possible to drive any L2 (initial) datum to zero in an arbitrarily short time interval, in bounded domains, this is no longer the case in unbounded do- mains. On top of that depending on the “degree of unboundedness of the domain”, the heat equation is not only not null-controllable but even displays the backward uniqueness property, i.e. in conical domains with sufficiently large opening angles the only solution which can be driven to zero is the trivial solution. In the first part of the thesis we provide a quantitative description of the large angle regime in two spatial dimensions. In this context, it is known that the backward uniqueness property can only hold in angles larger than 90◦ which is a consequence of the Phragmen-Lindel¨of principle [ESS03],ˇ [SS02].ˇ Furthermore, it is conjectured that the backward uniqueness property actually holds in all angles larger than 90◦, reflecting the fact that the diffusivity is not strong enough to drive any nontrivial L2 datum to zero. However, the furthest previous result in this direction only shows that the backward uniqueness property holds in all angles down to approximately 109◦ [LS10].ˇ vi CONTENTS Motivated by understanding a related elliptic “unique continuation problem at infin- ity”, we aim at improving this bound in two spatial dimensions via a more detailed phase space analysis. As in the paper by Sver´akˇ and Li [LS10],ˇ the core of our approach relies on Carleman estimates, i.e. exponentially weighted

    transactions of the american mathematical society Volume 306, Number 2, April 1988 OUTER FUNCTIONS IN FUNCTION ALGEBRAS ON THE BIDISC HÂKAN HEDENMALM ABSTRACT. Let / be a function in the bidisc algebra A(D2) whose zero set Z(f) is contained in {1} x D. We show that the closure of the ideal generated by / coincides with the ideal of functions vanishing on Z(f) if and only if f(-,a) is an outer function for all a e D, and /(l, ■) either vanishes identically or is an outer function. Similar results are obtained for a few other function algebras on D2 as well. 0. Introduction. In 1926, Torsten Carleman [CAR; GRS, §45] proved the following theorem: A function f in the disc algebra A(D), vanishing at the point 1 only, generates an ideal that is dense in the maximal ideal {g £ A(D): g(l) = 0} if and only if lim (1-Í) log |/(0I=0. R3t->1- This condition, which Carleman refers to as / having no logarithmic residue, is equivalent to / being an outer function in the sense that log\f(0)\ = ± T log\f(e*e)\d6. 27ri-7T Carleman's result was an early predecessor of the Beurling-Rudin Theorem [RUDI; HOF, pp. 82-89], which completely describes the collection of all closed ideals in A(D). For a function / in the bidisc algebra A(D2), let Z(f) = {z £ D2 : f(z) = 0} be its zero set, and denote by 1(f) the closure of the principal ideal in A(D2) generated by /. For E C D , introduce the notation 1(E) = {/ G A(D2) : / = 0 on E}.

Despite this obstacle, we develop a quantum algorithm for initial value problems described by dissipative quadratic n-dimensional ordinary differential equations. Assuming R < 1, where R is a parameter characterizing the ratio of the nonlinearity to the linear dissipation, this algorithm has complexity T 2 poly(log T; log n)/, where T is the evolution time and is the allowed error in the output quantum state. This is an exponential improvement over the best previous quantum algorithms, whose complexity is exponential in T . We achieve this improvement using the method of Carleman linearization, for which we give an improved convergence theorem.

  • Generalized Fourier Transformations: the Work of Bochner and Carleman Viewed in the Light of the Theories of Schwartz and Sato
    GENERALIZED FOURIER TRANSFORMATIONS: THE WORK OF BOCHNER AND CARLEMAN VIEWED IN THE LIGHT OF THE THEORIES OF SCHWARTZ AND SATO CHRISTER O. KISELMAN Uppsala University, P. O. Box 480, SE-751 06 Uppsala, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] Salomon Bochner (1899–1982) and Torsten Carleman (1892–1949) presented gen- eralizations of the Fourier transform of functions defined on the real axis. While Bochner’s idea was to define the Fourier transform as a (formal) derivative of high order of a function, Carleman, in his lectures in 1935, defined his Fourier trans- form as a pair of holomorphic functions and thus foreshadowed the definition of hyperfunctions. Jesper L¨utzen, in his book on the prehistory of the theory of dis- tributions, stated two problems in connection with Carleman’s generalization of the Fourier transform. In the article these problems are discussed and solved. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Bochner 3. Streamlining Bochner’s definition 4. Carleman 5. Schwartz 6. Sato 7. On Carleman’s Fourier transformation 8. L¨utzen’s first question 9. L¨utzen’s second question 10. Conclusion References 1 Introduction In order to define in an elementary way the Fourier transform of a function we need to assume that it decays at infinity at a certain rate. Already long ago mathematicians felt a need to extend the definition to more general functions. In this paper I shall review some of the attempts in that direction: I shall explain the generalizations presented by Salomon Bochner (1899–1982) and Torsten Carleman (1892–1949) and try to put their ideas into the framework of the later theories developed by Laurent Schwartz and Mikio Sato.

  • Carl-Gustaf Rossby: National Severe Storms Laboratory, a Study in Mentorship Norman, Oklahoma
    John M Lewis Carl-Gustaf Rossby: National Severe Storms Laboratory, A Study in Mentorship Norman, Oklahoma Abstract Meteorologist Carl-Gustaf Rossby is examined as a mentor. In order to evaluate him, the mentor-protege concept is discussed with the benefit of existing literature on the subject and key examples from the recent history of science. In addition to standard source material, oral histories and letters of reminiscence from approxi- mately 25 former students and associates have been used. The study indicates that Rossby expected an unusually high migh' degree of independence on the part of his proteges, but that he was HiGH exceptional in his ability to engage the proteges on an intellectual basis—to scientifically excite them on issues of importance to him. Once they were entrained, however, Rossby was not inclined to follow their work closely. He surrounded himself with a cadre of exceptional teachers who complemented his own heuristic style, and he further used his influence to establish a steady stream of first-rate visitors to the institutes. In this environment that bristled with ideas and discourse, the proteges thrived. A list of Rossby's proteges and the titles of their doctoral dissertations are also included. 1.

  • A Bibliography of Collected Works and Correspondence of Mathematicians Steven W
    A Bibliography of Collected Works and Correspondence of Mathematicians Steven W. Rockey Mathematics Librarian Cornell University [email protected] December 14, 2017 This bibliography was developed over many years of work as the Mathemat- ics Librarian at Cornell University. In the early 1970’s I became interested in enhancing our library’s holdings of collected works and endeavored to comprehensively acquire all the collected works of mathematicians that I could identify. To do this I built up a file of all the titles we held and another file for desiderata, many of which were out of print. In 1991 the merged files became a printed bibliography that was distributed for free. The scope of the bibliography includes the collected works and correspon- dence of mathematicians that were published as monographs and made available for sale. It does not include binder’s collections, reprint collec- tions or manuscript collections that were put together by individuals, de- partments or libraries. In the beginning I tried to include all editions, but the distinction between editions, printings, reprints, translations and now e-books was never easy or clear. In this latest version I have supplied the OCLC identification number, which is used by libraries around the world, since OCLC does a better job connecting the user with the various ver- sion than I possibly could. In some cases I have included a title that has an author’s mathematical works but have not included another title that may have their complete works. Conversely, if I believed that a complete works title contained significant mathematics among other subjects, Ihave included it.
