Kento Fujita (RIMS)
Classification of log del Pezzo surfaces of index three (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Log del Pezzo surfaces constitute an interesting class of rational surfaces and naturally appear in the minimal model program. I will describe an algorithm to classify all the log del Pezzo surfaces of fixed (Q-Gorenstein) index $a$. Especially, I will focus on the case that $a$ is equal to three. This is joint work with Kazunori Yasutake.

Fatiha Alabau (University of Lorraine)
On the influence of the coupling on the dynamics of under-observed cascade systems of PDE’s (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We consider observability of coupled dynamical systems of hyperbolic and parabolic type when the number of observations is strictly less that the number of unknowns. A main issue is to understand how the lack of observations of certain components is compensated by the coupling information. This talk will present a mathematical approach based on energy methods and some recent positive and negative results on these questions.

Compactness estimates for Hamilton-Jacobi equations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
For scalar conservations laws in one space dimension, P. Lax was the first to obtain compactness properties of the solution semigroup. Such properties were subsequently analyzed by several authors in quantitative terms using Kolmogorov's entropy. In this talk, we shall explain how to adapt such approach to the Hopf-Lax semigroup of solutions to first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations in arbitrary space dimension, and discuss related controllability issues.

Jean-Pierre Puel (Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines)
Controllability of fluid flows (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
First of all we will describe in an abstract situation the various concepts
of controllability for evolution equations.
We will then present some problems and results concerning the
controllability of systems modeling fluid flows.
First of all we will consider the Euler equation describing the motion of an
incompressible inviscid fluid.
Then we will give some results concerning the Navier-Stokes equations,
modeling an incompressible viscous fluid, and some related systems.
Finally we will give a first result of controllability for the case of a
compressible fluid (in dimension 1) and some important open problems.

Hans Jockers (The University of Bonn)
Characteristic classes from 2d renormalized sigma-models (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch formula relates the holomorphic Euler characteristic
of holomorphic vector bundles to topological invariants of compact complex manifold.
I will explain a generalization of the Mukai's modified first Chern character map, which
introduces certain characteristic classes that have not been considered in this form by
Hirzebruch. This naturally leads to the characteristic Gamma class based on the Gamma
function. The characteristic Gamma class has a surprising relation to the quantum theory
of certain 2d sigma-models with compact complex manifolds as their target spaces. I will
argue that the Gamma class describes perturbative quantum corrections to the classical
theory of those sigma models.

Arnaud Ducrot (University of Bordeaux)
Asymptotic behaviour of a non-local diffusive logistic equation (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we investigate the long time behaviour of a logistic type equation modelling the motion of cells. The equation we consider takes into account birth and death process using a simple logistic effect as well as a non-local motion of cells using non-local Darcy’s law with regular kernel. Using the periodic framework we first investigate the well-posedness of the problem before deriving some information about its long time behaviour. The lack of asymptotic compactness of the system is overcome by making use of Young measure theory. This allows us to conclude that the semiflow converges for the Young measure topology.

Junjiro Noguchi (The University of Tokyo)
Logarithmic 1-forms and distributions of entire curves and integral points (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The Log-Bloch-Ochiai Theorem says, in the most general form so far, that every entire curve in a Zariski open $X$ of a compact Kahler manifold $\bar{X}$ must be degenerate, if $\bar{q}(X)> \dim X$ ([NW02] Noguchi-Winkelmann, Math.\ Z. 239, 2002). If $X$ is defined a quasi-projective algebraic variety defined over a number field, then there is no Zariski dense $(S, D)$-integral subset in $X$ ($D=\partial X=\bar{X}\subset X$). We discuss this kind of properties more.
In the talk we will fix an error in an application in [NW02], and we will show
Theorem 1. (i) Let $M$ be a complex projective algebraic manifold, and let $D=\sum_{j=1}^l D_j$ be a sum of divisors on $M$ which are independent in supports. If $l> \dim M+r(\{D_j\})-q(M)$, then every entire curve $f:\mathbf{C} \to M\setminus D$ must be degenerate.
(ii) Let $M$ and $D_j$ be defined over a number field. If $l> \dim M+r(\{D_j\})-q(M)$, then there is no Zariski-dense $(S,D)$-integral subset of $M\setminus D$.
For the finiteness we obtain
Theorem 2. Let the notation be as above.
(i) If $l \geq 2 \dim M+r(\{D_j\})$, then $M\setminus D$ is completehyperbolic and hyperbolically embedded into $M$.
(ii) Let $M$ and $D_j$ be defined over a number field. If $l> 2\dim M+r(\{D_j\})$, then every $(S,D)$-integral subset of $M\setminus D$ is finite.

Precise definitions will be given in the talk. We will also discuss an application of Theorem 1 (ii) to generalize Siegel's Theorem on integral points on affine curves,
recent due to A. Levin.

Christopher Davis (University of Copenhagen) 16:40-17:40
An approach to p-adic Hodge theory over number fields (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
As motivation from classical Hodge theory, we will first compare singular cohomology and (algebraic) de Rham cohomology for a complex analytic variety. We will also describe a sense in which this comparison does not have a natural analogue over the real numbers. We think of the complex numbers as a "big" ring which is necessary for the comparison isomorphism to work. In the p-adic setting, the analogous study is known as p-adic Hodge theory, and the "big" rings there are even bigger. There are many approaches to p-adic Hodge theory, and we will introduce one tool in particular: (phi, Gamma)-modules. The goal of this talk is to describe a preliminary attempt to find an analogue of this theory (and analogues of its "big" rings) which makes sense over number fields (rather than p-adic fields). This is joint work with Kiran Kedlaya.
Bryden Cais (University of Arizona) 17:50-18:50
Canonical lifts of norm fields and applications (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we begin by outlining the Fontaine-Wintenberger theory of norm fields and explain its application to the classification of p-adic Galois representations on F_p-vector spaces. In order to lift this to a classification of p-adic representations on Z_p-modules, it is necessary to lift the characteristic p norm field constructions of Fontaine-Wintenberger to characteristic zero. We will explain how to canonically perform such lifting in many interesting cases, as well as applications to generalizing a theorem of Kisin on the restriction of crystalline p-adic Galois representations. This is joint work with Christopher Davis.

Colloquium

Bo Berndtsson (Chalmers University of Technology)
Complex Brunn-Minkowski theory (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The classical Brunn-Minkowski theory deals with the volume of convex sets.
It can be formulated as a statement about how the volume of slices of a convex set varies when the slice changes. Its complex counterpart deals with slices of pseudo convex sets, or more generally fibers of a complex fibration. It describes how $L^2$-norms of holomorphic functions, or sections of a line bundle, vary when the fibers change, and says essentially that a certain associated vector bundle has positive curvature. In the presence of enough symmetry this implies convexity properties of volumes; the real Brunn-Minkowski theorem corresponding to maximal symmetry. There are also applications and relations in other directions, like variations of Kahler metrics, variations of complex structures and the study of plurisubharmonic functions.

Inside dynamics of pushed and pulled fronts (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Mathematical analysis of reaction-diffusion equations is a powerful tool in the understanding of dynamics of many real-life propagation phenomena. A feature of particular interest is the fact that dynamics and their underlying mechanisms vary greatly, depending on the choice of the nonlinearity in the reaction term. In this talk, we will discuss the pushed/pulled front terminology, based upon the role of each component of the front inside the whole propagating structure.

Masaki Kashiwara (RIMS, Kyoto University)
Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for irregular holonomic D-modules (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The classical Riemann-Hilbert correspondence establishes an equivalence between the derived category of regular holonomic D-modules and the derived category of constructible sheaves. Recently, I, with Andrea D'Agnolo, proved a Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for holonomic D-modules which are not necessarily regular (arXiv:1311.2374). In this correspondence, we have to replace the derived category of constructible sheaves with a full subcategory of ind-sheaves on the product of the base space and the real projective line. The construction is therefore based on the theory of ind-sheaves by Kashiwara-Schapira, and also it is influenced by Tamarkin's work. Among the main ingredients of our proof is the description of the structure of flat meromorphic connections due to Takuro Mochizuki and Kiran Kedlaya.

Divisorial Extractions from Singular Curves in Smooth 3-Folds (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Consider a singular curve C contained in a smooth 3-fold X.
Assuming the existence of a Du Val general elephant S containing C,
I give a normal form for the equations of C in X and an outline of how to
construct a divisorial extraction from this curve. If the general S is
Du Val of type D_{2k}, E_6 or E_7 then I can give some explicit
conditions for the existence of a terminal extraction. A treatment of
the D_{2k+1} case should be possible by similar means.

Nao Hamamuki (Graduate shool of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo)
An improved level set method based on comparison with a signed distance function (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In the classical level set method, a slope of a solution to level set
equations can be close to zero as time develops even if the initial
slope is large, and this prevents one from computing interfaces given as
the level set of the solution. To overcome this issue we introduce an
improved equation by adding an extra term to the original equation.
Then, by applying a comparison principle to the signed distance function
to the interface, we prove that, globally in time, the slope of a
solution of the initial value problem is preserved near the zero level set.

On contact submanifolds of the odd dimensional Euclidean space (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We prove that the Chern class of a closed contact manifold is an
obstruction for codimension two contact embeddings in the odd
dimensional Euclidean space.
By Gromov's h-principle,
for any closed contact $3$-manifold with trivial first Chern class,
there is a contact structure on $\\mathbb{R}^5$ which admits a contact
embedding.
