Main goal: To understand the difference between the correlations
achievable in quantum mechanics with respect to those coming
from classical mechanics.

quantum phases of nature (topological order, long-range
entanglement, percolation, …) in a local way, via the so
called Tensor Network States.

Dynamics and geometry: three approaches
Framework
MATPUR aims to be centered around topics that even when included in the realm of pure mathematics, are relevant for applications and for the development of other scientific areas.
Aims of the concentration period
We will carry out a series of activities centered around dynamics and geometry, considered from different perspectives: topological and holomorphic dynamics, foliations and flow quasi‐invariant sets in classical and quantum mechanics.
Dynamics and geometry: three approaches
Network
The activities are being developed with the support of several funding agencies and involve researchers from a number of Spanish and foreign universities.

Partial Differential Equations in Science and Technology (J.I. Díaz)
Some research topics
1. Models on Natural Resources (Climatology, Glaciology and Geodesy). • Coupling between climate (models of energy balance with a deep ocean) and the dynamics of polar icecaps (in Glaciology).
• Socio‐economic aspects of environmental management,
• Gravity determination (Problem of Backus) in Geodesy
• Non‐deterministic climate models (volcanoes). • Formation of river basins. • Plant community patches as localized solutions of a reaction‐diffusion system (desertification process in southern Spain: a World Coordination
Center for the study of desertification is established in Almeria).
Partial Differential Equations in Science and Technology (J.I. Díaz)
2. Problems arising in Elasticity. • Structures like thin shells and homogenization (Torroja roof of the Hipódromo de la Zarzuela)
• Singular perturbation problems leading to complexification phenomena arising in certain types of thin elastic shells (unusual solution to the limit problem: it is outside the area of distributions). • Coulomb dry friction and their properties. • Best column (according Euler), • Deformation of the Earth strata by the gravity and magma actions (appearing in Geodynamics)
• Viscoelastic materials with memory
High Pressure Processes and Food Engineering (A.M. Ramos)
The aim of the project is to develop mathematical models to simulate high pressure processes, mainly in the Food Engineering sector, where a new emerging technology, based on hydrostatic high pressure, is being used in order to extend food shelf life, preserving organoleptic (flavour, colour, etc...) and nutritional properties.
