QQ-systems and tropical geometry

The QQ systems are systems of polynomial equations that arise in various geometric settings, including the enumerative geometry of Nakajima varieties and elements of the (deformed)  geometric Langlands correspondence. These equations are related to the integrable models of spin chain type, linked to quantum groups and Yangians. Specifically, the solutions to the QQ-system equations characterize the spectrum of these integrable models via the so-called Bethe ansatz equations.

Instability and non-uniqueness for the 2d Euler equations in vorticity form

Abstract: In this talk, we will study the Cauchy problem for the Euler equations in vorticity form. With the initial data in L^1∩L^∞, the uniqueness of the solution is guaranteed by Yudovich's classic result. However, it is a long-standing open question if it is possible to extend the result to the L^p scale. We will disprove it by constructing a one-parameter family of solutions with the same initial data and external force.
