Probabilistic and Deterministic Wellposedness for Low Regularity Dispersive Equations

Katie Sabrina Catherine Rosie Marsden

In this thesis we will present two results on global existence for nonlinear dispersive equations with data at or below the scaling regularity. In chapter 1 we take a probabilistic perspective to study the energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in ...

Global Regularity For The Nonlinear Wave Equation With Slightly Supercritical Power

Maria Colombo, Silja Noëmi Aline Haffter

We consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation ❑u D jujp ⠀1u in R3 ⠂ & UOELIG;0; 1/. We prove that for any initial datum with a scaling-subcritical norm bounded by M0 the equation is globally well-posed for p D 5 C i, where i 2 .0; ...

How to link sustainability assessments with local governance? – Connecting indicators to institutions and controversies

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Albert Merino, Pekka Jaakko Halla

The concept of sustainability is growing in importance for local urban governance, and indicator-based assessments represent a popular means for its operationalization. While much effort has been spent developing the technical aspects of these assessments, ...

Nine recommendations for the governance of AI systems

Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin

Some governance functions traditionally performed by humans are increasingly informed and sometimes automatically executed by machine learning algorithms (governance by machine learning) to benefit society. Therefore, it is necessary to think also about th ...

Combatting climate change through a portfolio of approaches

Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin

Given the urgency of deploying all possible ways to combat climate change, and in light of lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak that it was a mistake to ignore signals and not prepare for worst-case scenarios, this article suggests that tech ...

Measures against the abandonment of common property summer pastures: experimental evidence from joint appropriation-provision games

Ivo Philippe Baur

Common property summer pastures constitute longstanding evidence that the tragedy of the commons can be prevented through self-organization. As a byproduct of their sustainable governance, high nature value farming systems with well-integrated patchy lands ...

Using stratospheric aerosol injection to alleviate global warming: when?

Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin

Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), a type of solar radiation modification (SRM), has the potential to reduce global warming caused by excessive greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. However, there is currently widespread opposition to it, because deployi ...
