Juan Manfredi (University of Pittsburgh)
Mean value expansions for solutions to general elliptic and parabolic equations (English)
[ Abstract ]
Harmonic functions in Euclidean space are characterized by the mean value property and are also obtained as expectations of stopped Brownian motion processes. This equivalence has a long history with fundamental contributions by Doob, Hunt, Ito, Kakutani, Kolmogorov, L ́evy, and many others. In this lecture, I will present ways to extend this characterization to solutions of non-linear elliptic and parabolic equations.
The non-linearity of the equation requires that the rigid mean value property be replaced by asymptotic mean value expansions and the Brownian motion by stochastic games, but the main equivalence remains when formulated with the help of the theory of viscosity solutions. Moreover, this local equivalence also holds on more general ambient spaces like Riemannian manifolds and the Heisenberg group.
I will present examples related the Monge-Amp`ere and k-Hessian equations and to the p-Laplacian in Euclidean space and the Heisenberg group.

Keiko Kawamuro (University of Iowa)
Shortest word problem in braid theory (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Given a braid element in B_n, searching for a shortest braid word representative (using the band-generators) is called the Shortest Braid Problem. Up to braid index n = 4, this problem has been solved by Kang, Ko, and Lee in 1997. In this talk I will discuss recent development of this problem for braid index 5 or higher. I will also show diagrammatic computational technique of the Left Canonical Form of a given braid, that is a key to the three fundamental problems in braid theory; the Word Problem, the Conjugacy Problem and the Shortest Word Problem. This is joint work with Rebecca Sorsen and Michele Capovilla-Searle.

Ryosuke SHIMIZU (Waseda University)
Construction of a $p$-energy form and $p$-energy measures on the Sierpiński carpet (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will propose a new way of constructing the $(1,p)$-Sobolev space, $p$-energy functional and $p$-energy measures on the Sierpinski carpet for all $p \in (1,\infty)$. Our approach is mainly based on an idea in the work by Kusuoka--Zhou (1992), where the canonical regular Dirichlet forms (Brownian motions) on some self-similar sets are constructed as scaling limits of discrete $2$-energy forms. I will also explain some results related to the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension, which coincides with the critical value $p$ whether our $(1,p)$-Sobolev space is embedded in the set of continuous functions. This is based on joint work with Mathav Murugan (The University of British Columbia).

On special v-adic gamma values after Gross-Koblitz-Thakur (英語)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we will introduce special v-adic arithmetic gamma values in positive characteristic, which play the function field analogue of the special values of Morita’s p-adic gamma function. In the function field case, Thakur established a formula à la Gross-Koblitz, and hence obtained algebraicity of certain special v-adic arithmetic gamma values. In a joint work with Fu-Tsun Wei and Jing Yu, we prove that all algebraic relations among these special v-adic gamma values are coming from the three types of functional equations that the v-adic arithmetic gamma function satisfies, and Thakur’s analogue of Gross-Koblitz’s formula.

Serge Richard (Nagoya University)
The topological nature of resonance(s) for 2D Schroedinger operators (English)
[ Abstract ]
In 1986, Gesztesy et al. revealed the surprising behavior of thresholds resonances for two-dimensional scattering systems: their contributions to Levinson's theorem are either 0 or 1, but not 1/2 as previously known for systems in dimension 1 and 3. During this seminar, we shall review this result, and explain how a C*-algebraic framework leads to a better understanding of this surprise. The main algebraic tool consists of a hexagonal algebra of Cordes, replacing a square algebra sufficient for systems in 1D and 3D. No prior C*-knowledge is expected from the audience. This presentation is based on a joint work with A. Alexander, T.D. Nguyen, and A. Rennie.

Bernardo Cockburn (University of Minnesota)
The transformation of stabilizations into spaces for Galerkin methods for PDEs (English)
[ Abstract ]
We describe a novel technique which allows us to transform the terms which render Galerkin methods stable into spaces (JJIAM, 2023). We begin by applying this technique to show that the Continuous and Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for ODEs produce the very same approximation of the time derivative, and use this to obtain superconvergence points of the DG method. We then apply this technique to mixed methods for second-order elliptic equations to show that they can always be recast as hybridizable DG (HDG) methods. We then show that this recating makes the implementation from 10% to 20% better for polynomial degrees ranging from 1 to 20.We end by sketching or ongoing and future work.

Inasa Nakamura (Saga University)
Knitted surfaces in the 4-ball and their chart description (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Knits (or BMW tangles) are tangles in a cylinder generated by generators of the BMW (Birman-Murakami-Wenzl) algebras, consisting of standard generators of the braid group and their inverses, and splices of crossings called pairs of hooks. We give a new construction of surfaces in $D^2 \times B^2$, called knitted surfaces (or BMW surfaces), that are described as the trace of deformations of knits, and we give the notion of charts for knitted surfaces, that are finite graphs in $B^2$. We show that a knitted surface has a chart description. Knitted surfaces and their chart description include 2-dimensional braids and their chart description. This is joint work with Jumpei Yasuda (Osaka University).

On a principle of Ogus: the Hasse invariant's order of vanishing and "Frobenius and the Hodge filtration'' (English)
[ Abstract ]
In joint work with W. Goldring we generalize a result of Ogus that, under certain technical conditions, the vanishing order of the Hasse invariant of a family $Y/X$ of $n$-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties in characteristic $p$ at a point $x$ of $X$ equals the "conjugate line position" of $H^n_{\dR}(Y/X)$ at $x$, i.e. the largest $i$ such that the line of the conjugate filtration is contained in $\text{Fil}^i$ of the Hodge filtration. For every triple $(G,\mu,r)$ consisting of a connected, reductive $\mathbb{F}_p$-group $G$, a cocharacter $\mu \in X_*(G)$ and an $\mathbb{F}_p$-representation $r$ of $G$, we state a generalized Ogus Principle. If $\zeta:X \to \GZip^{\mu}$ is a smooth morphism, then the group theoretic Ogus Principle implies an Ogus Principle on $X$. We deduce an Ogus Principle for several Hodge and abelian-type Shimura varieties and the moduli space of K3 surfaces. In the talk I will present this work.

The second quandle homology group of the knot $n$-quandle (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We compute the second quandle homology group of the knot $n$-quandle for each integer $n>1$, where the knot $n$-quandle is a certain quotient of the knot quandle (of an oriented classical knot in the $3$-sphere). Although the second quandle homology group of the knot quandle can only detect the unknot, it turns out that that of its 3-quandle can detect the unknot, the trefoil and the cinqfoil. This is a joint work with Yuta Taniguchi.

Stable rationality of hypersurfaces in mock toric varieties (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In recent years, there has been a development in approaching rationality problems through motivic methods. This approach requires the explicit construction of degeneration families over curves with favorable properties. However, the specific construction is generally difficult. Nicaise and Ottem combined combinatorial methods to construct degeneration families of hypersurfaces in toric varieties and mentioned the stable rationality of a very general hypersurface in projective spaces. In this talk, we mention the following two points: First, I introduce the notion of mock toric varieties, which are generalizations of toric varieties. Second, I combinatorially construct degeneration families of hypersurfaces in mock toric varieties, and I mention the irrationality of a very general hypersurface in the complex Grassmannian variety Gr(2, n).

A Control Theory in Mathematical Demography (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Multistate Age-Structured Population Model is a fundamental mathematical model in mathematical demography that describes population structure and dynamics with state variables that are not uniform with age (e.g., body size, place of residence, genetic characteristics, etc.). The model's eigensystems have been used in various demographic analyses, providing essential indicators for discussing evolutionary theory. In this study, we derive a control equation (HJB equation) that maximizes the spectral radius from the eigensystem of the multistate age-structured population model and discuss the control process that generates an evolutionarily adaptive life history.

Emmy Murphy (University of Toronto)
Liouville symmetry groups and pseudo-isotopies (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Even though $\mathbb{C}^n$ is the most basic symplectic manifold, when $n>2$ its compactly supported symplectomorphism group remains mysterious. For instance, we do not know if it is connected. To understand it better, one can define various subgroups of the symplectomorphism group, and a number of Serre fibrations between them. This leads us to the Liouville pseudo-isotopy group of a contact manifold, important for relating (for instance) compactly supported symplectomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^n$, and contactomorphisms of the sphere at infinity. After explaining this background, the talk will focus on a new result: that the pseudo-isotopy group is connected, under a Liouville-vs-Weinstein hypothesis.

Mircea Mustaţă (The University of Michigan)
The minimal exponent of hypersurface singularities (English)
[ Abstract ]
The log canonical threshold of a hypersurface is an invariant of singularities that plays an important role in birational geometry, but which arises in many other contexts and admits different characterizations. A refinement of this invariant is Saito's minimal exponent, whose definition relies on the theory of b-functions, an important concept in D-module theory. The new information (by comparison with the log canonical threshold) provides a numerical measure of rational singularities. In this talk I will give an introduction to minimal exponents, highlighting recent progress and open questions.

ON THE POWER SERIES OF DENEF AND LOESER'S MOTIVIC VANISHING CYCLES OF JET POLYNOMIALS (English)
[ Abstract ]
Let f be a non-constant polynomial in n variables over a field k of characteristic
0. Denef and Loeser introduced the notion of motivic vanishing cycles of f as an element in
the localization Mμˆ of the Grothendieck ring Kμˆ(Var ) of k-varieties with a good action of k0k
μˆ := lim μm by inverting the affne line equipped with the trivial action of μˆ, where μm
is the group scheme over k of mth roots of unity. In particular, if k is the field of complex
numbers then Denef and Loeser showed that their motivic vanishing cycles and the complex
φf [n − 1] has the same Hodge characteristic, where φf is the complex of vanishing cycles
in the usual sense. Motivated by the Igusa conjecture for exponential sums and the strong
monodromy conjecture, we introduce the notion of Poincaré series of Denef-Loeser's van-
ishing cycles of jet polynomials of f, where jet polynomials of f are polynomials appearing
naturally when we compute the jet schemes of f. By using Davison-Meinhardt's conjecture
which was proved by Nicaise and Payne in 2019, we can show that our Poincaré series is a
rational function over a quotient ring of Mμˆ by very natural relations. In particular, we can k
recovery Denef and Loeser's motivic vanishing cycles from our Poincaré series. Moreover, we can show that our Poincaré series owns a universal property in the sense that if k is a number field then the Igusa local zeta functions, the motivic Igusa zeta functions, the Poincaré series of exponential sums modulo pm of f can be obtained from our Poincaré se- ries by suitable specialization maps preserving the rationality. If time permits, I will present some initial consequences that have arisen during the study of our Poincaré series.
