Scattering into Cones and Flux across Surfaces in Quantum Mechanics: a Pathwise Probabilistic Approach
We show how the scattering-into-cones and flux-across-surfaces theorems in
Quantum Mechanics have very intuitive pathwise probabilistic versions based on
some results by Carlen about large time behaviour of paths of Nelson
diffusions. The quantum mechanical results can be then recovered by taking
expectations in our pathwise statements.Comment: To appear in Journal of Mathematical Physic
Energy transfer in a fast-slow Hamiltonian system
We consider a finite region of a lattice of weakly interacting geodesic flows
on manifolds of negative curvature and we show that, when rescaling the
interactions and the time appropriately, the energies of the flows evolve
according to a non linear diffusion equation. This is a first step toward the
derivation of macroscopic equations from a Hamiltonian microscopic dynamics in
the case of weakly coupled systems
Hardy Spaces on Weighted Homogeneous Trees
We consider an infinite homogeneous tree V endowed with the usual metric d defined on graphs and a weighted measure μ. The metric measure space (V, d, μ) is nondoubling and of exponential growth, hence the classical theory of Hardy spaces does not apply in this setting. We construct an atomic Hardy space H1(μ) on (V, d, μ) and investigate some of its properties, focusing in particular on real interpolation properties and on boundedness of singular integrals on H1(μ)
Global well-posedness of the 3-D full water wave problem
We consider the problem of global in time existence and uniqueness of
solutions of the 3-D infinite depth full water wave problem. We show that the
nature of the nonlinearity of the water wave equation is essentially of cubic
and higher orders. For any initial interface that is sufficiently small in its
steepness and velocity, we show that there exists a unique smooth solution of
the full water wave problem for all time, and the solution decays at the rate

Concerning the Wave equation on Asymptotically Euclidean Manifolds
We obtain KSS, Strichartz and certain weighted Strichartz estimate for the
wave equation on , , when metric

quadratically semilinear wave equations with small initial data for

Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius spectrum for Anosov maps
We extend a number of results from one dimensional dynamics based on spectral
properties of the Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius transfer operator to Anosov
diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. This allows to develop a direct operator
approach to study ergodic properties of these maps. In particular, we show that
it is possible to define Banach spaces on which the transfer operator is
quasicompact. (Information on the existence of an SRB measure, its smoothness
properties and statistical properties readily follow from such a result.) In
dimension we show that the transfer operator associated to smooth random
perturbations of the map is close, in a proper sense, to the unperturbed
transfer operator. This allows to obtain easily very strong spectral stability
results, which in turn imply spectral stability results for smooth
deterministic perturbations as well. Finally, we are able to implement an Ulam
type finite rank approximation scheme thus reducing the study of the spectral
properties of the transfer operator to a finite dimensional problem.Comment: 58 pages, LaTe
Near Sharp Strichartz estimates with loss in the presence of degenerate hyperbolic trapping
We consider an -dimensional spherically symmetric, asymptotically
Euclidean manifold with two ends and a codimension 1 trapped set which is
degenerately hyperbolic. By separating variables and constructing a
semiclassical parametrix for a time scale polynomially beyond Ehrenfest time,
we show that solutions to the linear Schr\"odiner equation with initial
conditions localized on a spherical harmonic satisfy Strichartz estimates with
a loss depending only on the dimension and independent of the degeneracy.
The Strichartz estimates are sharp up to an arbitrary loss. This is
in contrast to \cite{ChWu-lsm}, where it is shown that solutions satisfy a
sharp local smoothing estimate with loss depending only on the degeneracy of
the trapped set, independent of the dimension
Stable directions for small nonlinear Dirac standing waves
We prove that for a Dirac operator with no resonance at thresholds nor
eigenvalue at thresholds the propagator satisfies propagation and dispersive
estimates. When this linear operator has only two simple eigenvalues close
enough, we study an associated class of nonlinear Dirac equations which have
stationary solutions. As an application of our decay estimates, we show that
these solutions have stable directions which are tangent to the subspaces
associated with the continuous spectrum of the Dirac operator. This result is
the analogue, in the Dirac case, of a theorem by Tsai and Yau about the
Schr\"{o}dinger equation. To our knowledge, the present work is the first
mathematical study of the stability problem for a nonlinear Dirac equation.Comment: 62 page
The Src inhibitor dasatinib accelerates the differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells into osteoblasts
The proto-oncogene Src is an important non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase involved in signaling pathways that control cell adhesion, growth, migration and differentiation. It negatively regulates osteoblast activity, and, as such, its inhibition is a potential means to prevent bone loss. Dasatinib is a new dual Src/Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor initially developed for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. It has also shown promising results in preclinical studies in various solid tumors. However, its effects on the differentiation of human osteoblasts have never been examined.Journal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
