The idea have not yet worked out as it was planned. However it appears to be useful for Landis' Conjecture. We will explain how to apply the combination of quasiconformal mappings a nd zero sets to quantitative properties of solutions to $\Delta u + V u =0 on the plane\, where $V$ is a real\, bounded function. The method reduces some questions about solutions to Shrodinger equation $\Delta u + V u =0$ on the plane to questions about harmonic functions. Based on a joint work with E.Malinnikova\, N.Nadirashvili and F. Nazarov.\n  \n\n11:00-11:50am\, Eastern time. Vladimir Sverak (Minneapolis)\n\nTitile: Liouville theorems for the Navier-Stokes equations\n Abstract: Assume u is a smooth\, bounded \, and divergence-free field on R^3 satisfying the steady Navier-Stokes eq uation -\Delta u +u\nabla u + \nabla p=0 (for a suitable function p). Does u have to be constant? We still don't know. Interesting things are known and Nikolai made important contributions to our knowledge concerning this question. Similar problems can also be considered for various model equati ons. The lecture will concern various aspects of this problem.\n \n 12:15-13 :30\, Eastern time: Zoom banquet\n\nFOR ZOOM MEETING INFORMATION PLEASE CO NTACT dmitry.jakobson [at] mcgill.ca\n\n \n DTSTART:20200626T140000Z DTEND:20200626T150000Z SUMMARY:Special seminar on the occasion of the 65th birthday of N.
