Singularity of solutions to singular SPDEs
[ Abstract ]
We give a sufficient condition for the marginal distribution of the solution to singular SPDEs on the $d$-dimensional torus to be singular with respect to the law of the Gaussian measure induced by the corresponding linear equation. As applications we obtain the singularity of the $\phi^4_3$-quantum field measure with respect to the Gaussian free field measure and the border of parameters for the fractional $\phi^4$-measure to be singular with respect to the base Gaussian measure. Our approach is applicable to quite a large class of singular SPDEs. This talk is based on a joint work with S. Kusuoka (Kyoto University) and M. Hairer (EPFL).

A spin on Gromov-Witten / Hurwitz correspondence and integrability
(English)
[ Abstract ]
Hurwitz numbers enumerate branched coverings of Riemann surfaces and provide a rich sandbox of examples for enumerative geometry and neighbouring areas. Surprisingly, there is a formula that connects them to the intersection theory of the moduli spaces of stable curves: the ELSV formula. Furthermore, these numbers enjoy an integrability of type 2D-Toda as they can be expressed as vacuum expectations in the Fock space, result that has been later employed in the GW/Hurwitz correspondence.

A spin-off from the research on the mirror symmetry on Calabi-Yau 3-folds led to the spin generation of Hurwitz numbers via topological recursion. Over time this result has been generalised in different directions, including the Hurwitz count of Riemann surfaces with a spin structure, which are conjecturally determining Gromov-Witten invariants of surfaces with smooth canonical divisor. This led once more to the link with integrability, this time of type BKP.

Fibrations on the $6$-sphere and Clemens threefolds (英語)
[ Abstract ]
Let $Z$ be a compact, connected $3$-dimensional complex manifold with vanishing first and second Betti numbers and non-vanishing Euler characteristic. We prove that there is no holomorphic mapping from $Z$ onto any $2$-dimensional complex space. In other words, $Z$ can only possibly fiber over a curve. This result applies in particular to a class of threefolds, known as Clemens threefolds, which are diffeomorphic to a connected sum of $k$ copies of $S^3 \times S^3$ for $k > 1$. This result also gives a new restriction on any hypothetical complex structure on the $6$-sphere $S^6$. This is joint work with Nobuhiro Honda.

Brakke's inequality and the existence of Brakke flow for volume preserving mean curvature flow (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
We consider the existence of the weak solutions to the volume preserving mean curvature flow. The Brakke flow defined using Brakke's inequality is well known as one of the weak solutions to the mean curvature flow. On the other hand, the volume preserving mean curvature flow has been studied via $L^2$-flow solution, BV solution, and flat flow, but the corresponding Brakke flow had not been considered so far. In this talk, we define the suitable Brakke flow for the volume preserving flow and show its global existence. This talk is based on joint works with Andrea Chiesa (University of Vienna).

On integral representations of reproducing kernels on quasi-symmetric Siegel domains

[ Abstract ]
L.\ Schwartz established the foundational theory of reproducing kernels in the 1960s.
Around the same time, S.\ G.\ Gindikin obtained an explicit integral representation of the Bergman kernel for the Siegel domain of the second kind $\mathcal{S}(\Omega,Q)\subset U_{\mathbb C}\times V$.
This formula suggests that the set of irreducible unitary representations of the generalized Heisenberg group $G^{V}=U\rtimes V$ realized on this domain is embedded in the unitary dual of the group.
Such a notion of multiplicity-freeness property has since been reconsidered from a complex-geometric standpoint, motivated by Huckleberry–Wurzbacher's study of ``coisotropic actions'' and by T.\ Kobayashi's introduction of ``visible actions'', and its understanding continues to deepen.
In this talk, we focus on a quasi-symmetric Siegel domain, and for a real subspace $W\subset V$, study the representations of the subgroup $G^{W}=U\rtimes W$.
We show that the multiplicity-freeness property can be characterized both by geometric features of the group action and by the multiplicity-free irreducible decomposition of the unitary representation on the Bergman space.

Stallings-Swan’s Theorem for Borel graphs (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
A Borel graph is a simplicial graph on a standard Borel space X such that the edge set is a Borel subset of X^2. Such objects have been studied in the context of countable Borel equivalence relations, and recently there are many attempts to apply the ideas of geometric group theory to them. Stallings-Swan's theorem states that groups of cohomological dimension 1 are free groups. We will talk about an analog of this theorem for Borel graphs: A Borel graph on X with uniformly bounded degrees of cohomological dimension 1 is Lipschitz equivalent to a Borel acyclic graph on X. This is proved by establishing a criterion for certain decomposition of Borel graphs, which is inspired by Dunwoody's work on accessibility of groups.

A semigroup approach to the reconstruction theorem for singular modelled distributions and its application
[ Abstract ]
In our recent research, we extended a semigroup approach used in Otto & Weber (2019) and Hoshino (2023) to provide an alternative proof of the reconstruction theorem for singular modelled distributions. As an application, we constructed a local-in-time solution to the two-dimensional parabolic Anderson model with a non-translation-invariant differential operator. In this talk, I will introduce the idea of constructing solutions to singular SPDEs based on the theory of regularity structures and highlight the differences between our approach and previous works. I will then present main results of our study. This talk is based on joint work with Masato Hoshino (Institute of Science Tokyo).

Generalized Front Propagation for Stochastic Spatial Models (English)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will present a general framework which can be used to analyze the scaling limits of various stochastic spatial "population" models. Such models include ternary Branching Brownian motion subject to majority voting and several interacting particle systems motivated by biology. The approach is based on moment duality and a PDE methodology introduced by Barles and Souganidis, which can be used to study the asymptotic behaviour of rescaled reaction-diffusion equations. In the limit, the models exhibit phase separation with an evolving interface which is governed by a global-in-time, generalized notion of mean-curvature flow. This talk is based on joint work with Thomas Hughes (University of Bath).

Parametrization of supercuspidal representations of depth-zero for some simple adjoint groups (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
We construct a surjective map from the set of conjugacy classes of depth-zero enhanced L-parameters to that of isomorphism classes of depth-zero supercuspidal representations for simple adjoint groups, and check the bijectivity in various cases. We also prove that the Hiraga--Ichino--Ikeda conjecture on the formal degree of essentially square-integrable representations holds for this parametrization if it is bijective.

Presentation of finite Reedy categories as localizations of finite direct categories (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we present a novel construction that, for a given Reedy category $C$, produces a direct category $\operatorname{Down}(C)$ and a functor $\operatorname{Down}(C) \to C$, exhibiting $C$ as an $(\infty,1)$-categorical localization of $\operatorname{Down}(C)$. This result refines previous constructions in the literature by ensuring that $\operatorname{Down}(C)$ is finite whenever $C$ is finite—a property not guaranteed by existing approaches, such as those by Lurie or by Barwick and Kan. As an intended future application, this finiteness property is expected to be useful for embedding the construction into the syntax of a (non-infinitary) logic. In particular, I expect that the construction may be used to develop a meta-theory of finitely truncated simplicial types and other finite Reedy presheaves for homotopy type theory, thereby extending Kraus and Sattler's unfinished approach. This talk is based on arXiv:2502.05096.

Boundary effects in the Facilitated Exclusion Process
[ Abstract ]
The Facilitated Exclusion Process (FEP) is a model of stochastic interacting particle system whose dynamics is subject to kinetic constraints, leading to a phase transition at the critical density 1/2: under this threshold, the system is completely frozen. In recent years, the FEP has been extensively studied on the periodic setting, but in this talk I will consider it with boundary conditions. I will focus first on open boundaries, with particles reservoirs at both ends allowing creation/annihilation of particles. If time allows, I will also consider the case of closed boundaries, when there are impermeable walls at both ends.
At the macroscopic level, the boundary dynamics impose some boundary conditions on the PDE describing the hydrodynamic limit, that can be of different types (such as Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin). These boundary conditions are not standard as they differ from what is usually found in other exclusion processes, and this is due to the two-phased nature of FEP.
This talk is based on joint works with Clément Erignoux, Marielle Simon and Lu Xu.

A half-space Bernstein theorem for anisotropic minimal graphs (English)
[ Abstract ]
Anisotropic functionals are the natural generalization of the area functional. From a technical perspective, what distinguishes general anisotropic functionals from the area case is the absence of a monotonicity formula. In this talk, we will present a proof of a half-space Bernstein theorem for anisotropic minimal graphs with flat boundary condition. The proof uses only the maximal principle and ideas from fully nonlinear PDE theory in lieu of a monotonicity formula. This is joint work with W. Du, C. Moony, and J. Zhu.

Universal circles and Zippers (2) (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
If M is a hyperbolic 3-manifold fibering over the circle, then the fundamental group of M acts faithfully by homeomorphisms on a circle—the circle at infinity of the universal cover of the fiber—preserving a pair of invariant (stable and unstable) laminations. Many different kinds of dynamical structures including taut foliations and quasigeodesic or pseudo-Anosov flows are known to give rise to universal circles—a circle with a faithful action of the fundamental group preserving a pair of invariant laminations—and those universal circles play a key role in relating the dynamical structure to the geometry of M. In these two talks, I will introduce the idea of *zippers*, which give a new and direct way to construct universal circles, streamlining the known constructions in many cases, and giving a host of new constructions in others. In particular, zippers—and their associated universal circles—may be constructed directly from homological objects (uniform quasimorphisms), causal structures (uniform left orders), and many other structures. This is joint work with Ino Loukidou.

Some properties of Azukawa pseudometrics for pluricomplex Green functions with poles along subvarieties (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The Azukawa pseudometric is defined as the difference between the pluricomplex Green function and its logarithmic term along each complex lines passing through a pole. Therefore, the Azukawa pseudometric is useful to study the behavior of the pluricomplex Green function around a pole. It is also known that the Azukawa pseudometric is closely related to several important objects in complex analysis, including the Crath\'{e}odory-Reiffen pseudometric, the Kobayashi-Reiffen pseudometric, the Bergman kernel, among others.
In this talk, we present some properties and applications of an analogue of the Azukawa pseudometric for the pluricomplex Green function with poles along subvarieties.
If time permits, I will also explain my recent studies related to this topic.

The square peg problem and microlocal sheaf theory (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The square peg problem asks whether every Jordan curve in the plane admits four distinct points that form the vertices of a square. This problem was proposed by Toeplitz in 1911, but it is still open. This problem can be generalized to the rectangular peg problem, which asks about the existence of a rectangle with a given aspect ratio. Greene and Lobb gave an affirmative answer to the rectangular peg problem for any smooth Jordan curve using symplectic geometry, and later improved the result using spectral invariants in Floer theory. In this talk, I will explain that we can solve the rectangular peg problem for any rectifiable Jordan curve using microlocal sheaf theory. This is joint work with Tomohiro Asano.
