2026 Nov.2nd , Speaker: Qiyuan Song
Title: Łojasiewicz–Simon inequality
Abstract: The Łojasiewicz–Simon inequality controls the energy difference near a critical point by its gradient. I will introduce the classical finite dimensional Łojasiewicz inequality, and then discuss how Leon Simon generalized it to the infinite dimensional case on closed Riemannian manifolds, using Liapunov-Schmidt Reduction. Simon's work has application to many problems in calculus of variations and nonlinear PDEs (which can be thought as limits of infinite dimensional gradient flows of analytic functionals).
Fall 2026 Meeting Information
In Fall 2026, we will meet every Monday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Mathematics Graduate Lounge (Hill 701).
Organizers: Qi Ma, Aprameya, and Anupam
