Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi:
Ergodicity, Positive Lyapunov Exponents, and Partial Damping for Random Switching
by Jonathan Mattingly (Duke University)

The seminar will take place tomorrow TUE, 04.07.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here.

Abstract: I will consider some new models inspired by the PDEs/SPDE with complex dynamics such as the 2D Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The models introduce randomness onto the system through a random splitting scheme. I will explain how the randomly split Galerkin approximations of the 2D Euler equations and other related dynamics can be shown to possess a unique invariant measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to the natural Liouville measure, despite the existence of other invariant measures corresponding to fix points of the PDEs. I will then explain how on proves that the dynamics with respect to this measure has positive Lyapunov exponents almost surely.

Lastly, I will discuss recent results which show that the system has a unique invariant measure even when damping is applied to part of the system.

This is joint work with Omar Melikechi, Andrea Agazzi, and David Herzog.
