Gaudin subalgebras and stable rational curves. (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We show that Abelian subalgebras of maximal dimensions spanned by generators of the n-th Kohno-Drinfeld Lie algebra are classified by the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli space of stable rational curves with n+1 marked points. I will explain the relation with Gaudin integrable systems of statistical mechanics and the representation theory of the symmetric group in the formulation of Vershik and Okounkov. The talk is based on joint work with Leonardo Aguirre and Alexander Veselov.

Geometric quantization on noncompact manifolds
[ Abstract ]
We will describe our analytic approach with Youlinag Tian to the Guillemin-Sternberg geometric quantization conjecture which can be summarized as "quantization commutes with reduction". We will aslo describe a recent extension to the case of noncompact symplectic manifolds. This is a joint work with Xiaonan Ma in which we solve a conjecture of Vergne mentioned in her ICM2006 plenary lecture.

A hyperbolic fluid model based on Cattaneo's law
[ Abstract ]
In various applications a delay of the propagation speed of a fluid (temperature, ...) has been observed. Such phenomena cannot be described by standard parabolic models, whose derivation relies on Fourier's law (Paradoxon of infinite propagation speed).
One way to give account to these observations and which was successfully applied to several models, is to replace Fourier's law by the law of Cattaneo. In the case of a fluid, this leads to a hyperbolicly perturbed quasilinear Navier-Stokes system for which existence and uniqueness results will be presented.

Chiral Algebras of (0,2) Models: Beyond Perturbation Theory
[ Abstract ]
The chiral algebras of two-dimensional sigma models with (0,2)
supersymmetry are infinite-dimensional generalizations of the chiral
rings of (2,2) models. Perturbatively, they enjoy rich mathematical
structures described by sheaves of chiral differential operators.
Nonperturbatively, however, they vanish completely for certain (0,2)
models with no left-moving fermions. In this talk, I will explain how
this vanishing phenomenon takes places. The vanishing of the chiral
algebra of a (0, 2) model implies that supersymmetry is spontaneously
broken in the model, which in turn suggests that no harmonic spinors
exist on the loop space of the target space. In particular, the
elliptic genus of the model vanishes, thereby providing a physics
proof of a special case of the Hoelhn-Stolz conjecture.

[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we consider the problem of estimating the innovation density in nonlinear autoregressive models. Specifically, we establish the convergence rate of the supremum distance between the residual-based kernel density estimator and the kernel density estimator using the unobservable actual innovation variables. The proof of the main theorem relies on empirical process theory instead of the conventional Taylor expansion approach. As applications, we obtain the exact rate of weak uniform consistency on the whole line, pointwise asymptotic normality of the residual-based kernel density estimator and the asymptotic distribution of a Bickel-Rosenblatt type global measure statistic related to it. We also examine the conditions of the main theorem for some specic time series model.

L^p 粘性解の弱ハルナック不等式の最近の進展
[ Abstract ]
Caffarelli による粘性解の regularity 研究 (1989 年) を基に, 1996 年に Caffarelli- Crandall-Kocan-Swiech によって L^p 粘性解の概念が導入された. L^p 粘性解とは, 通 常の粘性解理論では扱えなかった, 非有界非斉次項を持つ (非発散型) 偏微分方程 式にも適用可能な弱解である.
しかしながら, 係数に関しては有界係数しか研究されていなかった. その後, Swiech との共同研究により, 係数が非有界だが適当なべき乗可積分性を仮定して Aleksandrov-Bakelman-Pucci 型の最大値原理を導くことが可能になった.

Recent results on weak and strong solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
[ Abstract ]
Our purpose is to develop the optimal initial value condition for the existence of a unique local strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in a smooth bounded domain.

This condition is not only sufficient
- there are several well-known sufficient conditions in this context
- but also necessary, and yields therefore the largest possible class of such strong solutions.

As an application we obtain several extensions of Serrin's regularity condition. A restricted result also holds for completely general domains. Furthermore we extend the well-known class of Leray-Hopf weak solutions with zero boundary conditions and zero divergence to a larger class with corresponding nonzero conditions.

A topological approach to left orderable groups
[ Abstract ]
A group G is said to be left orderable if there is a strict
total ordering of its elements such that gin G. Left orderable groups have been useful in solving many problems in topology, and now we find that topology is returning the favour: the set of all left orderings of a group is denoted by LO(G), and it admits a natural topology, under which LO(G) becomes a compact topological
space. In general, the structure of the space LO(G) is not well understood, although there are surprising results in a few special cases.
For example, the space of left orderings of the braid group B_n for n>2
contains isolated points (yet it is uncountable), while the space of left
orderings of the fundamental group of the Klein bottle is finite.

Twice in recent years, the space of left orderings has been used very
successfully to solve difficult open problems from the field of left
orderable groups, even though the connection between the topology of LO(G) and the algebraic properties of G was still unclear. I will explain the
newest understanding of this connection, and highlight some potential

On solving fully nonlinear elliptic Partial Differential Equations

[ Abstract ]
The talk will present some results in recent work by R.Harvey and B. Lawson: Dirichlet duality and the nonlinear Dirichlet problem, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 62 (2009), 396-443. It concerns solving boundary value problems for elliptic equations of the form F(D'2u) = 0. They find generalized solutions which are merely continuous . The talk will be expository. No knowledge of Partial Differential Equations will be necessary.

Elementary computation of ramified component of the Jacobi sum
[ Abstract ]

On the $SO(N)$ and $Sp(N)$ free energy of a closed oriented 3-manifold
[ Abstract ]
We give an explicit formula of the $SO(N)$ and $Sp(N)$ free energy
of a lens space and show that the genus $g$ terms of it are analytic
in a neighborhood at zero, where we can choose the neighborhood
independently of $g$.
Moreover, it is proved that for any closed oriented 3-manifold $M$
and any $g$, the genus $g$ terms of $SO(N)$ and $Sp(N)$ free energy
of $M$ coincide up to sign.

Rationality of the Brauer-Severi Varieties of Skylanin algebras
[ Abstract ]
Iskovskih's conjecture states that a conic bundle over
a surface is rational if and only if the surface has a pencil of
rational curves which meet the discriminant in 3 or fewer points,
(with one exceptional case). We generalize Iskovskih's proof that
such conic bundles are rational, to the case of projective space
bundles of higher dimension. The proof involves maximal orders
and toric geometry. As a corollary we show that the Brauer-Severi
variety of a Sklyanin algebra is rational.

Derivations and Automorphisms on the noncommutative algebra of power series.

[ Abstract ]
We discuss a relationship between a class of derivations and a class of automorphisms on the noncommutative algebra of formal power series in two variables. Each class relates bijectively by exponential and logarithm maps. In this talk we define a specific class of derivations, which generates a noncommutaive Lie algebra whose defining relations are related to a classical Witt algebra. The main claim is the explicit description of the
automorphisms which are corresponding to the derivations via exponential map.
