The link between the infinite mapping class group of the disk and the braid group on infinitely many strands

Jan Brunner

φ For all finite n ∈ N, there is a well-known isomorphism between the standard braid group Bn and the mapping class group π0Hn. This isomorphism has been exhaustively studied in literature, and generalized in many ways. For some basic topological reason, t ...

Minimal stabilization of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for hyperbolic problems

Erik Burman, Benjamin Stamm

We consider a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the advection– reaction equation in two space–dimensions. For polynomial approximation spaces of degree greater than or equal to two on triangles we propose a method where stability is obtained ...

Amenable actions, free products and a fixed point property

Nicolas Monod

We investigate the class of groups admitting an action on a set with an invariant mean. It turns out that many free products admit such an action. We give a complete characterisation of such free products in terms of a strong fixed point property. ...

Orbit equivalence rigidity and bounded cohomology

Nicolas Monod

We establish new results and introduce new methods in the theory of measurable orbit equivalence. Our rigidity statements hold for a wide (uncountable) class of negatively curved groups. Amongst our applications are (a) measurable Mostow-type rigidity theo ...

A Domain Decomposition Method Based on Weighted Interior Penalties for Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Problems

Erik Burman, Paolo Zunino

We propose a domain decomposition method for advection-diffusion- reaction equations based on Nitsche's transmission conditions. The advection-dominated case is stabilized using a continuous interior penalty approach based on the jumps in the gradient over ...

Equivariant embeddings of trees into hyperbolic spaces

Nicolas Monod

We study isometric actions of tree automorphism groups on the infinite-dimensional hyperbolic spaces. On the one hand, we exhibit a general one-parameter family of such representations and analyse the corresponding equivariant embeddings of the trees, show ...

Spectral Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Hyperbolic Problems

Benjamin Stamm

In this project we address the numerical approximation of hyperbolic equations and systems using the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method in combination with higher order polynomial degrees. In short, this is called Spectral Discontinuous Galerkin (SDG) meth ...

Ideal bicombings for hyperbolic groups and applications

Nicolas Monod

For every hyperbolic group and more general hyperbolic graphs, we construct an equivariant ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant which implies that s ...

Spectral methods for hyperbolic problems

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We review the current state of Fourier and Chebyshev collocation methods for the solution of hyperbolic problems with an eye to basic questions of accuracy and stability of the numerical approximations. Throughout the discussion we emphasize recent develop ...
