Guanghui Hu (WIAS, Germany)
Inverse elastic wave scattering from rigid diffraction gratings (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In recent years, Schwarz reflection principles have been used to prove uniqueness in inverse scattering by bounded obstacles and unbounded periodic structures of polygonal or polyhedral type with only one or several incident plane waves.
Such a principle for the Navier equation is established by far only underthe third or fourth kind boundary conditions, and still remains unknown in the more practical case of the Dirichlet boundary condition.
In this talk we will discuss the uniqueness in inverse elastic scattering from rigid diffraction gratings of polygonal type, where the total displacement vanishes on the scattering surface. Mathematically, this can be modeled by the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the Navier equation in periodic structures. We prove that such diffraction gratings can be uniquely
determined from the near-field data corresponding to a finite number of incident elastic plane waves.
This is a joint work with J. Elschner and M. Yamamoto.

Jon Nimmo (Univ. of Glasgow)
The discrete Schrodinger equation for compact support potentials (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We consider the exact form of the Jost solutions of the discrete Schrodinger equation for arbitrary potentials with compact support. Remarkably, these solutions may be written in terms of certain explicitly defined polynomials in the non-trivial values of the potential. These polynomials also arise in the work of Yamada (2000) in connection with a birational representation of the symmetric group.
Applications of this approach to the udKdV are also discussed.

Simon Gindikin (Rutgers University)
Horospheres: geometry and analysis (II) (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
About 50 years ago Gelfand suggested a concepion of horospherical transform which, he hoped, must be an universal principle unifying non commutative harmonic analysis. I want to make several historic remarks (especialy, since this year is the centenial anniversary of Gelfand). I want to discuss the evolution of this fundamental conception for 50 years and how Gelfand’s dreams are looked today. I will discuss an elementary case of hyperboloids of any signature where there were not too much progress after old initial result of Gelfand-Graev.

Integrable discrete systems, an introduction Pt. 2 (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The second part will mostly be devoted to the various integrability detectors (singularity confinement, algebraic entropy) for integrability of discrete systems, in one or more dimensions. The most important systems identified through these detectors, namely the discrete Painlev¥'e equations, will be presented in detail, through a geometric approach.

Bertrand Deroin (University of Paris-Sud)
Dominating representations by Fuchsian ones (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We will focus on the problem of dominating the translation lengths of a representation from a surface group to the isometries of a CAT(-1) space by the lengths induced by a hyperbolic structure on the surface. This is related to the construction of 3-dimensional anti-de-Sitter compact manifolds. This is a collaboration with Nicolas Tholozan.

Philippe Guyenne (Univ. of Delaware)
Water waves over a random bottom (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We present a Hamiltonian formulation for nonlinear surface water waves in the presence of a variable bottom. This formulation is based on a reduction of the problem to a lower-dimensional system involving boundary variables alone. To accomplish this, we express the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator as a Taylor series in terms of the surface and bottom variations. This expansion is convenient for both asymptotic calculations and numerical simulations. First we apply this formulation to the asymptotic description of long waves over random topography. We show that the principal component of the solution can be described by a Korteweg-de Vries equation plus random phase corrections. We also derive an asymptotic expression for the scattered component. Finally numerical simulations will be shown to illustrate the theoretical results. This is joint work with Walter Craig and Catherine Sulem.

[ Abstract ]
In the second lecture we will quickly discuss Rankin Selberg integral approach to L-factors and then Shahidi's method of constructing L-functions by relating them to intertwining operators, leading to the definition of the the L-factors of tempered non degenerate representations. The lecture closes with a discussion of L-factors for nontempered representations.

Representations of reductive groups and L-functions (I) (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This is an introduction to the theory of L-functions and in particular of the local L-factors of representations in real and complex groups. Some familiarity with infinite dimensional representations would be very helpful, but I will not assume any knowledge of number theory. We will start in the first lecture by considering L-functions for Groessen characters and classical automorphic forms, in other words for automorphic representations of G(1) and GL(2). This will motivate the definition of the local L-factors of representations of GL(1,R) and GL(2,R). Then we will discuss Rankin convolutions and define the L-factors for infinite dimensional tempered representations of GL(n,R).

We will prove the uniqueness in determining viscosity in two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations by Dirichlet-to-Neumann map.

Andrei Pajitnov (Univ. de Nantes)
Real-valued and circle-valued Morse theory:
an introduction
(ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Classical Morse theory relates the number of critical points of a Morse
function f on a manifold M to the topology of M. The main technical
ingredient of this theory is a chain complex generated by the critical points
of the function. In 1981 S.P. Novikov generalized this theory to the case of
circle-valued Morse functions. In this talk we describe the construction of
both chain complexes, based on the idea of E. Witten (1982), which allows, in
particular, to compute the boundary operators in the Morse complex from
the count of flow lines of the gradient of f. We discuss geometric applications
of these constructions.
