Student Harmonic Analysis and PDE Seminar (HADES): Solitary waves in deep water
Seminar | September 4 | 3:40-5 p.m. | 740 Evans Hall
Daniel Tataru, UC Berkeley
Solitary waves are waves on the surface of the water which keep a constant profile and which move with constant velocity. Two longstanding open problems have been whether such waves exist in deep water in the presence of either gravity or surface tension, but not both. This talk will provide the answers to both of these problems in two space dimensions. This is joint work with Mihaela Ifrim.
