Mapping class group of Infinite graph: 'Big' Out(Fn) (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Algom-Kfir and Bestvina introduced the mapping class groups of locally finite, infinite graphs in 2021. Since Out(Fn) can be realized as the mapping group of a finite graph, their construction may be viewed as a "big" version of Out(Fn). In this talk, we survey the algebraic and coarse geometric properties of these groups and discuss a relationship with mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces ("big mapping class groups"). This talk is based on joint work with Ryan Dickmann, George Domat, and Hannah Hoganson, in various collaborations.

Complexity of submanifolds and Colding-Minicozzi entropy (英語)
[ Abstract ]
Colding-Minicozzi entropy is a natural quantity associated to mean curvature flow which measures complexity of submanifolds of Euclidean space. We discuss some (nearly) optimal relationships between entropy and areas of (minimal) submanifolds of the sphere.

Nao Hamamuki (Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University)
Gagliardo-Nirenberg型不等式を、遠方で減衰する対数凹関数に対して導きます。証明では、関数から定まるエントロピーに対する上下からの評価が鍵となります。上からの評価には対数型ソボレフの不等式、下からの評価には関数の対数凹性を利用します。また、得られたGagliardo-Nirenberg型不等式における定数の精度についても議論します。さらに、完全非線形楕円型固有値問題の解に適用して、固有値に対する下からの評価を導きます。本講演の内容は、藤田安啓氏、五十嵐蓮氏との共同研究に基づきます。 (日本語)

Classification results for Lagrangian fibrations
[ Abstract ]
A Lagrangian fibration on a holomorphic symplectic manifold or variety is one whose general fibre is an abelian variety that is Lagrangian with respect to the symplectic form. Examples were constructed by Beauville/Mukai whose fibres are Jacobians of curves, and by Markushevich-Tikhomirov, Arbarella-Sacca-Ferretti, Matteini, S-Shen, and Brakkee-Camere-Grossi-Pertusi-Sacca-Viktorova whose fibres are Prym varieties of curves with involutions. In all of these examples the family of curves is a linear system on a K3 surface, suggesting the question: is this always the case? Markushevich answered this affirmatively in the genus two case: if the relative compactified Jacobian of a family of genus two curves is a Lagrangian fibration then the curves all lie on a K3 surface, and the Lagrangian fibration is a Beauville-Mukai system. In this talk I will describe our generalization of this result to higher genus, and also to relative Prym varieties of genus three covers with involutions (joint work with Xuqiang Qin).

Gromov's cancellation question in birational algebraic geometry
[ Abstract ]
Gromov's 1999 cancellation question is: given two open embeddings of a variety U into a variety X, do they always have isomorphic closed complements? In my joint work with Hsueh-Yung Lin we reformulate this question in terms of the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and answer it in various situations. The answer will be positive or negative depending on the dimension of varieties and the ground field. Finally, I will present an application to the structure of the Cremona group of birational self-maps of the projective space.

Advances in Splitting: Intercardinal Approaches to Nonlinear Hideo Kawarada Equations
(English)
[ Abstract ]
This presentation addresses two main issues. First, we shall discuss recent advancements in both exponential and non-exponential splitting methods, with particular emphasis on their stability, accuracy and global error estimates. Second, we shall introduce a new splitting configuration for solving nonlinear Hideo Kawarada equations with mixed derivative terms. This approach leads to intercardinal splitting finite-difference schemes that provide efficient and accurate numerical approximations of the underlying solutions.
We shall further demonstrate that the resulting implicit methods are numerically stable, convergent, and efficient, while preserving key physical properties such as the positivity and monotonicity. The dynamic orders of accuracy of the proposed algorithms will be illustrated using generalized Milne devices. Simulation examples of the solution procedure will be presented and investigated, and several open problems will also be outlined.

Beckner's sharp inequalities revisited on binary cubes (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The Hausdorff–Young inequality and Young’s convolution inequality are fundamental tools in harmonic analysis. The landmark paper “Inequalities in Fourier Analysis” by William Beckner (Ann. of Math., 1975) established the exact values of the sharp constants appearing in these inequalities. Recently, these inequalities have received renewed attention in the setting of binary cubes, driven by applications in additive combinatorics through works by Kane–Tao, de Dios Pont–Greenfeld–Ivanisvili–Madrid, and others. In this discrete setting, the sharp constant is known to be 1 and is no longer the central issue. Instead, the focus shifts to the range of exponents for which the Hausdorff–Young inequality and Young’s convolution inequality hold — a range that is enlarged compared to the classical case. In this talk, we aim to fully characterize this range. This is joint work with Tonći Crmarić (University of Split) and Vjekoslav Kovač (University of Zagreb).
