Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for Poincaré-Einstein metrics
[ Abstract ]
This talk will describe an analogue of a Dirichlet to Neumann map for Poincaré-Einstein metrics, also known as asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics. An explicit identification of the linearization of the map at the sphere will be given for even interior dimensions, together with applications to the structure of the map near the sphere and to the positive frequency conjecture of LeBrun which was resolved by Biquard.

Crystal interpretation of Kerov-Kirillov-Reshetikhin bijection.
[ Abstract ]
Kerov-Kirillov-Reshetikhin bijection とは、フェルミ型公式の 証明に関して 1986 年に導入された組み合わせ的な写像であり、 rigged configurations と highest paths の間の全単射を与える。 この写像を、結晶基底の組み合わせ R 行列のみを用いた代数的な 形式に書き直すことができる [1,2]。証明には、アフィン組み合わせ R 行列の構造を rigged configurations に導入することが必要となる。 これらの結果は箱玉系と呼ばれるソリトンセルオートマトンの 逆散乱形式ともなっている。

ダブルアファインヘッケ代数と楕円ヘッケ代数について
[ Abstract ]
ダブルアファインヘッケ代数と楕円ヘッケ代数の比較について話します。 楕円ヘッケ代数は、マーキング付き楕円ルート系のディンキン図形から 生成元と関係式を読み取って定義される代数です。マーキング付き楕円 ルート系は、2つのアファインルート系を部分ルート系として含むので そのヘッケ代数がダブルアファインヘッケ代数と何かしらの関係がある ことは想像がつきます。ここでは、楕円ヘッケ代数がダブルアファイン ヘッケ代数の部分代数になっていること、およびダブルアファインヘッケ 代数を楕円ヘッケ代数上の加群と見たときの自由基底について説明します。

Homotopy actions, cyclic maps and their Eckmann-Hilton duals.
[ Abstract ]
We study the homotopy action of a based space A on a based space X. The resulting map A--->X is called cyclic. We classify actions on an H-space which are compatible with the H-structure. In the dual case we study coactions X--->X v B and the resulting cocyclic map X--->B. We relate the cocyclicity of a map to the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the map.

Analyticity of the interface of the classical two-phase Stefan problem
[ Abstract ]
The Stefan problem is a model for phase transitions in liquid-solid systems, as e.g. ice surrounded by water, and accounts for heat diffusion and exchange of latent heat in a homogeneous medium.
The strong formulation of this model corresponds to a free boundary problem involving a parabolic diffusion equation for each phase and a transmission condition prescribed at the interface separating the phases.
We prove that under mild regularity assumptions on the initial data the two-phase classical Stefan problem admits a unique solution that is analytic in space and time.
The result is based on $L_p$ maximal regularity for a linearized problem, which is proved first, and the implicit function theorem.

On Fluid Mechanics Formulation of Monge-Kantorovich Mass Transfer Problem
[ Abstract ]
The Monge-Kantorovich mass transfer problem is equivalently formulated as an optimal control problem for the mass transport equation. The equivalency of the two problems is establish using the Lax-Hopf formula and the optimal control theory arguments. Also, it is shown that the optimal solution to the equivalent control problem is given in a gradient form in terms of the potential solution to the Monge-Kantorovich problem. It turns out
that the control formulation is a dual formulation of the Kantrovich distance problem via the Hamilton-Jacobi equations.

Mathematics in the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases
[ Abstract ]
In this lecture I will give examples of the way in which mathematics helps in getting insight into the spread and control of infectious diseases. I will do this by discussing the population phenomena that are observed after an infectious agent enters a population (invasion, epidemic, recurrent epidemic, endemic, regulation, control). Along the way I will also give insight into the historical development of mathematical modelling in infectious disease epidemiology. Examples will be taken from human and animal infections. Special topics treated in some detail are threshold quantities such as the basic reproduction number R_0, the importance of understanding the structure of contacts in a population, the use of R_0 to estimate control effort with vaccines. In the last part of the lecture a number of important epidemiological problems will be discussed where input of new mathematical theory is needed.

On CR-invariant differential operators
[ Abstract ]
My talk will be devoted to questions about differential operators which are intrinsic to non--degenerate CR structures of hypersurface type. Restricting to the subclass of spherical CR structures, this question admits an equivalent formulation in terms of representation theory, which leads to several surprising consequences.
Guided by the ideas from representation theory and using the canonical Cartan connection which is available in this situation, one obtains a construction for a large class of such operators, which continues to work for non--spherical structures, and even for a class of almost CR structures. In the end of the talk I will discuss joint work with V. Soucek which shows that in the integrable case many of the operators obtained in this way form complexes.

New invariants for CR and contact manifolds
[ Abstract ]
In this talk I will explain the construction of several new invariants for CR and contact manifolds as noncommutative residue traces of various geometric pseudodifferential projections. In the CR setting these operators arise from the ∂b-complex and include the Szegö projections. In the contact setting they stem from the generalized Szegö projections at arbitrary integer levels of Epstein-Melrose and from the contact complex of Rumin. In particular, we recover and extend recent results of Hirachi and Boutet de Monvel and answer a question of Fefferman.

Asymptotic solutions and Aubry sets for Hamilton-Jacobi equations
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the viscosity solution of the Cauchy problem for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation $u_t + \\alpha x\\cdot Du + H(Du) =f(x)$ in ${\\rm I}\\!{\\rm R}^N \\times (0,\\infty)$, where $\\alpha$ is a positive constant and $H$ is a convex function on ${\\rm I} \\!{\\rm R}^N$. We show that, under some assumptions, $u(x,t) - ct - v(x)$ converges to $0$ locally uniformly in ${\\rm I}\\!{\\rm R}^N$ as $t \\to \\infty$, where $c$ is a constant and $v$ is a viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation $c + \\alpha x\\cdot Dv + H(Dv) = f(x)$ in ${\\rm I}\\!{\\rm R}^N$. A set in ${\\rm I}\\!{\\rm R}^N$, which is called the {\\it Aubry set}, gives a concrete representation of the viscosity solution $v$. We also discuss convergence rates of this asymptotic behavior. This is a joint work with Professors H. Ishii and P. Loreti.

On Mullins-Sekerka as singular limit of Cahn-Hilliard, some mathematical progress and open problems
[ Abstract ]
The Cahn-Hilliard equation and its variants have been widely used in materials science community to model coarse graining phenomena in mesoscopic scale. The equation has a parameter corresponding the order of thickness of phase boundaries. When the parameter is close to zero, the phase boundary and the chemical potential field are known to evolve by the so-called Mullins-Sekerka problem. The rigorous justification for the latter statement is known only for short-time so far. I describe some recent progress as well as some difficulties on the long-time case, relateing my recent works and those by M. Roeger and R. Schaetzle.

The Navier-Stokes flow in the exterior of a rotating obstacle
[ Abstract ]
We show the existence of solutions of the Navier-Stokes flow in the exterior of a rotating obstacle. In the first step we transform the Navier-Stokes equations to a problem in a time independent domain. In this talk we present two different change of coordinates to do this. Finally, we discuss the advantages of both approaches and show the local existence and uniqueness of mild and strong $L^p$ solutions.
