Riemannian geometry on mapping spaces and relations to shape analysis and fluid dynamics

Por Philipp Harms (FREIS, Univ. Freiburg).

Abstract: Fluid dynamics and shape analysis are linked by a common underlying geometric structure, namely, Sobolev-type Riemannian metrics on manifolds of mappings. I will characterize the degeneracy and non-degeneracy of the corresponding geodesic distances, establish local well-posedness of the corresponding geodesic equations, and discuss applications of these results to shape analysis and fluid dynamics.

Lepton Flavor Universality tests with semileptonic b-hadron decays

Por Antonio Romero Vidal (USC).

Lepton flavour universality is a key feature in the Standard Model. Currently, several measurements in b-hadron decays show some tension with respect to theoretical predictions. In this talk, I will summarize the experimental situation with special emphasis in measurements performed by LHCb with semileptonic b-hadron decays.

The shadow of a Black Hole (2019) and the problematc measurement of light defecton by the sun in 1919

Por Rui Agostinho (FCUL).

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has published in 2019 the first ever image of an Event Horizon, from the very massive central black hole in the M87 galaxy. The team has chosen to publicize it 100 years after the first measurement of light deflection by a strong gravitacional field, which was a landmark for the Theory of Relativity in 1919. This new image did not require a technological revolution and neither did the images taken in 1919, however they all imprint the History of Physics.
