Bøker av Luigi Ambrosio

This work is closely tied to the renowned mathematics textbook series known as UNITEXT, tailored for university students pursuing bachelor's or master's degrees. What sets this particular book apart in the Springer collection is its unique origin: it has been crafted through a meticulous process involving interviews handled with and by world-class mathematicians. The content featured in this book revolve around a highly relevant and engaging topic: Optimal Transport. These conversations involve not only authors from the UNITEXT series, but also members of the series' Editorial Board. Additionally, they feature prominent figures in the field, including a Field Medalist. This work provides readers with a snapshot of remarkable vitality and freshness, guaranteed to captivate and engage anyone with an interest in mathematics. It's important to note that these interviews were initially shared as podcasts and originally broadcasted as online events on the Cassyni platform. Subsequently, advanced AI tools were employed under human supervision to transcribe the audios and edit them for better readability. A human copy-editor was involved during the whole process, and the authors revised the final copy-edited texts before publication. The content in each format - the interviews, the PODCASTS and the book - is self-contained and not a mere adaptation from one medium to another. Instead, it represents an independent exploration of the subject matter.

This textbook is addressed to PhD or senior undergraduate students in mathematics, with interests in analysis, calculus of variations, probability and optimal transport.

Provides new characterizations of the curvature dimension condition in the context of metric measure spaces $(X,\mathsf d,\mathfrak m)$. The authors' approach takes into account suitable weighted action functionals, and uses the nonlinear diffusion semigroup induced by the $N$-dimensional entropy, in place of the heat flow

The book is devoted to the theory of gradient flows in the general framework of metric spaces, and in the more specific setting of the space of probability measures, which provide a surprising link between optimal transportation theory and many evolutionary PDE's related to (non)linear diffusion.

In recent years flows in networks have attracted the interest of many researchers from different areas, e.g. The main reason for this ubiquity is the wide and diverse range of applications, such as vehicular traffic, supply chains, blood flow, irrigation channels, data networks and others.

At the summer school in Pisa in September 1996, Luigi Ambrosio and Norman Dancer each gave a course on the geometric problem of evolution of a surface by mean curvature, and degree theory with applications to PDEs respectively.
