Speaker: Svetlana Roudenko, Arizona State University Title: Blow up solutions for the 3d cubic nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Abstract: I will discuss the global behavior of solutions to the focusing cubic nonlinear Schroedinger equation in 3d with finite energy initial data. In particular, I will describe divergence of nonradial infinite variance solutions (using the concentration compactness machinery) and then a new blow up criteria with various examples and consequences. This is a joint work with Justin Holmer.
