中枢ニューロン樹状突起における酵素活性化ウェーブとその数理モデル
[ Abstract ]
ニューロンの興奮性の調節やシナプス可塑性において重要な役割を担っているC型タンパク質リン酸化酵素(PKC)は,その酵素活性と関連して細胞内局在が変化する性質を有する(トランスロケーション).GFP-γPKC融合タンパクを発現させたマウス小脳プルキンエ細胞において,平行線維シナプスの高頻度刺激に伴い,刺激部位近傍から樹状突起に沿ってトランスロケーションが伝播する現象が報告されている.最近,坪川は,同じ刺激条件で樹状突起内をほぼ同速度で伝播する細胞内Ca2+波が生じることを見出し,これがγPKCトランスロケーション波をリードしている可能性を指摘した.本研究では,生理学的・解剖学的知見に基づいたプルキンエ細胞の数理モデルを構築し,Ca2+波の再現を試みた.その結果に基づき,トランスロケーション伝播のメカニズムと機能的意義について考察する.

Compactification of the homeomorphism group of a graph
[ Abstract ]
Topological properties of homeomorphism groups, especially of finite-dimensional manifolds,
have been of interest in the area of infinite-dimensional manifold topology.
For a locally finite graph $\\Gamma$ with countably many components,
the homeomorphism group $\\mathcal{H}(\\Gamma)$
and its identity component $\\mathcal{H}_+(\\Gamma)$ are topological groups
with respect to the compact-open topology. I will define natural compactifications
$\\overline{\\mathcal{H}}(\\Gamma)$ and
$\\overline{\\mathcal{H}}_+(\\Gamma)$ of these groups and describe the
topological type of the pair $(\\overline{\\mathcal{H}}_+(\\Gamma), \\mathcal{H}_+(\\Gamma))$
using the data of $\\Gamma$. I will also discuss the topological structure of
$\\overline{\\mathcal{H}}(\\Gamma)$ where $\\Gamma$ is the circle.

Effective Condition Numbers and Laplace Equations

[ Abstract ]
The condition number of a matrix is commonly used for investigating the
stability of solutions to linear algebraic systems. Recent meshless
techniques for solving PDEs have been known to give rise to
ill-conditioned matrices, yet are still able to produce results that are
close to machine accuracy. In this work, we consider the method of
fundamental solutions (MFS), which is known to solve, with extremely high
accuracy, certain
partial differential equations, namely those for which a fundamental
solution is known. To investigate the applicability of the MFS, either when
the boundary is not analytic or when the boundary data is not harmonic, we
examine the relationship between its accuracy and the effective condition
number.

The spectral category of Hecke algebras and applications
第1講: Reductive p-adic groups and Hecke algebras
[ Abstract ]
Hecke algebras play an important role in the harmonic analysis of a p-adic reductive group. On the other hand, their representation theory and harmonic analysis can be described almost completely explicitly. This makes affine Hecke algebras an ideal tool to study the harmonic analysis of p-adic groups. We will illustrate this in this series of lectures by explaining how various components of the Bernstein center contribute to the level-0 L-packets of tempered representations, purely from the point of view of harmonic analysis.

We define a "spectral category" of (affine) Hecke algebras. The morphisms in this category are not algebra morphisms but are affine morphisms between the associated tori of unramified characters, which are compatible with respect to the so-called Harish-Chandra μ-functions. We show that such a morphism generates a Plancherel measure preserving correspondence between the tempered spectra of the two Hecke algebras involved. We will discuss typical examples of spectral morphisms.
We apply the spectral correspondences of affine Hecke algebras to level-0 representations of a quasi-split simple p-adic group. We will concentrate on the example of the special orthogonal groups $SO_{2n+1}(K)$. We show that all affine Hecke algebras which arise in this context admit a *unique* spectral morphism to the Iwahori-Matsumoto Hecke algebra, a remarkable phenomenon that is crucial for this method. We will recover in this way Lusztig's classification of "unipotent" representations.

数理生理学は生理現象を数理モデルを用いて解明しようとする営みであって,実験生物学の定量化,計算機の高速化にともなって急速に発展してきている分野です.この講義では数理生理学の中でも古典的な分野である電気生理学の数理について解説します.

生物学の予備知識は仮定しません.ごく初等的な微分方程式の知識で十分理解できる内容ですが,一部で応用数学の標準的手法(接合漸近展開、均質化極限など)を用います.第1回目の内容が講義全体の基礎となりますが,第2回目と第3回目の講義を独立に聴講することも可能です.またテーマにあわせて最近の話題についても触れる予定です。

Goodness of fit tests for ergodic diffusions by discrete sampling schemes
[ Abstract ]
We consider a nonparametric goodness of fit test problem for the drift coefficient of one-dimensional ergodic diffusions, where the diffusion coefficient is a nuisance function which is estimated in some sense. Using a theory for the continuous observation case, we construct two kinds of tests based on different types of discrete observations, namely, the data observed discretely in time or in space. We prove that the limit distribution of our tests is the supremum of the standard Brownian motion, and thus our tests are asymptotically distribution free. We also show that our tests are consistent under any fixed alternatives.

Divergences Test Statistics for Discretely Observed Diffusion Processes
[ Abstract ]
In this paper we propose the use of $\\phi$-divergences as test statistics to verify simple hypotheses about a one-dimensional parametric diffusion process dXt = b(Xt, theta)dt + sigma(Xt, theta) dWt, from discrete observations at times ti = i*Dn, i=0, 1, ..., n, under the asymptotic scheme Dn - 0, n*Dn - +oo and n*Dn^2 - 0. The class of phi-divergences is wide and includes several special members like Kullback-Leibler, Renyi, power and alpha-divergences. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistics based on phi- divergences. The limiting law takes different forms depending on the regularity of phi. These convergence differ from the classical results for independent and identically distributed random variables. Numerical analysis is used to show the small sample properties of the test statistics in terms of estimated level and power of the test.

The topology of symplectic and hyperkahler quotients
[ Abstract ]
Symplectic geometry lies at the crossroads of many exciting areas of research due to its relationship to geometric representation theory, combinatorics, and algebraic geometry, among others. As often happens in mathematics, the presence of symmetry in these geometric structures -- in this context, a Hamiltonian G-action for a Lie group G, i.e. an action with an associated moment map -- turns out to be crucial in the computation of topological invariants, such as the Betti numbers, the cohomology ring, or the K-theory, of symplectic manifolds which arise as Hamiltonian quotients. In the first part of the talk, I will give a bird's-eye, motivating overview of this subject, and in particular will introduce one of the main technical tools of the field, which is the Morse theory associated to the moment map. In the second part, I will give a more detailed account of recent joint work with Graeme Wilkin, which deals with Nakajima quiver varieties, a special case of hyperkahler Hamiltonian quotients. In particular, we develop a Morse theory for the hyperkahler moment map analogous to the case of the moduli space of Higgs bundles. In particular, we show that the Harder-Narasimhan stratification of spaces of representations of quivers coincide with the Morse-theoretic stratification associated to the norm-square of the real moment map. Our approach also provides insight into the topology of specific examples of small-rank quiver varieties, including hyperpolygon spaces and some ADHM quivers.

Tits alternative in $Diff^1(S^1)$
[ Abstract ]
The following form of Tits alternative for subgroups of
homeomorphisms of the circle has been proved by Margulis: or the group
preserve a probability measure on the circle, or it contains a free
subgroup on two generators. We will prove that if the group acts by diffeomorphisms of
class $C^1$ and does not preserve a probability measure on the circle, then
in fact it contains a subgroup topologically conjugated to a Schottky group.
This is a joint work with V. Kleptsyn and A. Navas.
