Dear UConn Hartford faculty members, As noted in earlier campus messaging, we have been asked by central administration to develop and implement a campus strategic plan. I am excited to use this opportunity to build on the already excellent work we are doing for our students and community. We invite you to join with the Strategic Planning Committee to discuss objectives, metrics & initiatives as we move along in the planning process:  Campus Strategic Planning | Faculty Forum Monday, September 23rd 2:00 p.m. to ~3:30 p.m. In-Person: HTB 216 Remote: Teams   We look forward to further discussions with you on this important endeavor. In community,   Mark   Mark Overmyer-Velázquez, PhD Dean and Chief Administrative Officer UConn HartfordProfessor of History and Latinx Studies (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmark-velazquez.scholar.uconn.edu%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ccmb02014%40ad.uconn.edu%7C1d40aeefedb34eced17008dcd3658fdd%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638617680382369244%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XcjZ2cXgNKxwWfeYbQHD1873Pt1Oz5%2B8eY7YUYii64U%3D&reserved=0)

Abstract: We consider the Schrödinger operator with a step potential. We build up a scattering and distorted Fourier transform theory for this operator, and use it to study the long-time behavior of small data solutions of the 1D cubic NLS equation with the step potential. If time permits, I will also discuss some potential application of this theory, that is, the nonlinear stability problem of dark solitons for the 1D cubic NLS equation. This is ongoing joint work with J. Holmer (Brown University).
