Title: Maximal double-exponential growth for the Euler equation on the half-plane

Speaker: Andrej Zlatos

Abstract: I will show that smooth solutions to the Euler equation on the half-plane can exhibit double-exponential growth of their vorticity gradients.  I will also identify the maximal possible growth rate and construct solutions that saturate it.

Bio: Andrej Zlatos obtained his PhD. from Caltech in 2003, after which he held faculty positions at the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin.  Since 2016 he has been a professor at the University of California San Diego.  He works in the area of partial differential equations, specializing in fluid dynamics, reaction-diffusion equations, and mixing.  He is an author of over 60 mathematical papers, as well as a recipient of the Sloan Fellowship and the Simons Fellowship.
