Existence of the $1$-harmonic map flow (English)
[ Abstract ]
Similarly as in the real-valued case, the total variation of maps taking values in a Riemannian manifold extends to a lower semicontinuous functional on $L^2$. However, in general this functional is not geodesically semiconvex, so the existence of its gradient flow is not provided by general variational theory. Alternatively, one can try to apply the theory of parabolic PDE systems, mimicking the approach used for $p$-harmonic map flows, $p>1$. This poses some difficulties, because the PDE system corresponding to the flow is strongly nonlinear, singular and degenerate. However, in some cases, this approach was successful. In this talk, I will describe known results on the existence of the flow, focusing on my work with Lorenzo Giacomelli and Salvador Moll.

Processes with small ball estimate: properties, examples, statistical inference (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The notion of a process with small ball estimate is introduced and studied. In particular, divergence of integral functional of such process is established and applied to statistical estimation. Several interesting examples are provided, and various modifications of the main group of properties are considered. The talk is based on the common research with Prof. Nakahiro Yoshida.

Shinpei Baba (Osaka University)
Intersection of Poincare holonomy varieties and Bers' simultaneous uniformization theorem (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Given a marked compact Riemann surface X, the vector space of holomorphic quadratic differentials on X is identified with the space of CP1-structures on X. Then, by the holonomy representations of CP1-structures, this vector space properly embeds into the PSL(2, C)-character variety, the space of representations of the fundamental group of X into PSL(2,C).

In this manner, different Riemann surfaces structures yield different half-dimensional smooth analytic subvarieties in the character variety. In this talk, we discuss some properties of their intersection. To do so, we utilize a cut-and-paste operation, called grafting, of CP1-structures.

Recent developments on variational difference equations and their classification (English)
[ Abstract ]
We review some recent development in the theory of variational difference equations of order higher than two. In particular we present our recent solution of the inverse problem of calculus variations. Then, we present the application of such solution in the classification of variational fourth-order difference equations. To be more specific, we will present the most general form of variational additive and multiplicative fourth-order difference equations.

Daichi Takeuchi (University of Tokyo)
Symmetric bilinear forms and local epsilon factors of isolated singularities in positive characteristic (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
For a function on a smooth variety with an isolated singular point, we have two invariants. One is a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form (de Rham), and the other is the vanishing cycles complex (\'etale). The latter is a Galois representation of a local field measuring a complexity of the singularity.
In this talk, I will give a formula which expresses the local epsilon factor of the vanishing cycles complex in terms of the bilinear form. In particular, the sign of the local epsilon factor is determined by the discriminant of the bilinear form. This can be regarded as a refinement of Milnor formula in SGA 7, which compares the rank of the bilinear form and the total dimension of the vanishing cycles.
In characteristic 2, we find a generalization of Arf invariant, which can be regarded as an invariant for a non-degenerate quadratic singularity, to a general isolated singularity.

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo In Bayesian Empirical Likelihood Computation (English)
[ Abstract ]
Asia-Pacific Seminar in Probability and Statistics https://sites.google.com/view/apsps/home

Abstract: We consider Bayesian empirical likelihood estimation and develop an efficient Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method for sampling from the posterior distribution of the parameters of interest. The proposed method uses hitherto unknown properties of the gradient of the underlying log-empirical likelihood function. It is seen that these properties hold under minimal assumptions on the parameter space, prior density and the functions used in the estimating equations determining the empirical likelihood. We overcome major challenges posed by complex, non-convex boundaries of the support routinely observed for empirical likelihood which prevents efficient implementation of traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo methods like random walk Metropolis-Hastings etc. with or without parallel tempering. Our method employs finite number of estimating equations and observations but produces valid semi-parametric inference for a large class of statistical models including mixed effects models, generalised linear models, hierarchical Bayes models etc. A simulation study confirms that our proposed method converges quickly and draws samples from the posterior support efficiently. We further illustrate its utility through an analysis of a discrete data-set in small area estimation.

Keywords: Constrained convex optimisation; Empirical likelihood; Generalised linear models; Hamiltonian Monte Carlo; Mixed effect models; Score equations; Small area estimation; Unbiased estimating equations.

This is a joint work with Debashis Mondal, Oregon State University and Yin Teng, E&Y, Singapore.

Yoshihiko Mitsumatsu (Chuo University)
Lefschetz fibration on the Milnor fibers of simple elliptic and cusp singularities (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk a joint work with Naohiko Kasuya(Kyoto Sangyo U.), Hiroki Kodama(Tohoku U.), and Atsuhide Mori(Osaka Dental U.) is reported. The main result is the following.

There exist a Lefschetz fibration of the Milnor fiber of T_{pqr}-singularity (1/p + 1/q + 1/r ≦ 1) to the unit disk with regular fiber diffeomorphic to T^2.

An outline of the construction will be explained, through which, the space of 2-jets of (R^4, 0) to (R^2, 0) is analysed. This is motivated by F. Presas' suggestion that the speaker's construction of regular Poisson structures(=leafwise symplectic foliations) on S^5 might be interpreted by ``leafwise Lefschetz fibration''. These Lefschetz fibrations give a way to look at K3 surfaces through an extended class of Arnol'd's strange duality. These applications are introduced as well.

Hölder gradient estimates on L^p-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations with VMO coefficients (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
We discuss fully nonlinear second-order uniformly parabolic equations, including parabolic Isaacs equations. Isaacs equations arise in the theory of stochastic differential games. In 2014, N.V. Krylov proved the existence of L^p-viscosity solutions of boundary value problems for equations with VMO (vanishing mean oscillation) “coefficients” when p>n+2. Furthermore, the solutions were in the parabolic Hölder space C^{1,α} for 0<α<1. Our purpose is to show C^{1,α} estimates on L^p-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations under the same conditions as in Krylov’s result.

Convergent evolving finite element algorithms for mean curvature flow and Willmore flow of closed surfaces (English)
[ Abstract ]
We construct evolving surface finite element methods for the mean curvature and Willmore flow through equivalently reformulating the original equations into coupled systems governing the evolution of surface position, velocity, normal vector and mean curvature. Then we prove $H^1$-norm convergence of the proposed evolving surface finite element methods for the reformulated systems, by combining stability estimates and consistency estimates. The stability analysis is based on the matrix–vector formulation of the finite element method and does not use geometric arguments. The geometry enters only into the consistency estimates. Numerical experiments illustrate and complement the theoretical results.

Vanishing discount problems for Hamilton-Jacobi equations on changing domains (English)
[ Abstract ]
We study the asymptotic behavior, as the discount factor vanishes, of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation with state-constraint on changing domains. Surprisingly, we can obtain both convergence results and non-convergence results in this convex setting. Moreover, we provide a very first result on the asymptotic expansion of the additive eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian with respect to the changing domains. The main tool we use is a duality representation of solution with viscosity Mather measures.

Jun Yoshida (The University of Tokyo)
Vassiliev derivatives of Khovanov homology and its application (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Khovanov homology is a categorification of the Jones polynomial. It is known that Khovanov homology also arises from a categorical representation of braid groups, so we can regard it as a kind of quantum knot invariant. However, in contrast to the case of classical quantum invariants, its relation to Vassiliev invariants remains unclear. In this talk, aiming at the problem, we discuss a categorified version of Vassiliev skein relation on Khovanov homology. Namely, we extend Khovanov homology to singular links so that extended ones can be seen as "derivatives" in view of Vassiliev theory. As an application, we compute first derivatives to determine Khovanov homologies of twist knots. This talk is based on papers arXiv:2005.12664 (joint work with N.Ito) and arXiv:2007.15867.
