Diego Cordoba (ICMAT Madrid) will give three 
lectures on 

Interface dynamics for incompressible fluids.

Abstract:
We consider the evolution of an interface generated between two immiscible,
incompressible and irrotational fluids. Specifically we study the Muskat
equation (the interface between oil and water in sand) and water wave
equation (interface between water and vacuum). For both equations we will
study well-posedness and the existence of smooth initial data for which the
smoothness of the interface breaks down in finite time. We will also discuss
some open problems.
