Bounds on the gradient of minimizers in variational denoising (English)
[ Abstract ]
We consider minimization problem for a class of convex integral functionals composed of two terms:
-- a regularizing term of linear growth in the gradient,
-- and a fidelity term penalizing the distance from a given function.
To ensure that such functionals attain their minima, one needs to extend their domain to the BV space. In particular minimizers may exhibit jump discontinuities. I will discuss estimates on the gradient of minimizers in terms of the data, focusing on singular part of the gradient measure.
The talk is based on joint works with P. Rybka, Z. Grochulska and A. Chambolle.

Uniform Convergence of Gradient Flows on a Stack of Banach Spaces (English)
[ Abstract ]
Within this talk I will recall the classical result: Given a sequence of convex functionals on a Hilbert space, Gamma-convergence of this sequence implies uniform convergence on finite time-intervals for their gradient flows. I will then discuss a generalisation for this result. In particular our functionals are defined on a sequence of distinct Banach spaces that can be stacked together inside of a unifying space. We will study a kind of gradient flow for our functionals inside their respective Banach space and ask the following question. What structure is necessary within our unifying space to attain uniform convergence of gradient flows?

Joshua Capel (University of New South Wales)
Classical structure theory for second-order semi-degenerate super-integrable systems (English)
[ Abstract ]
Second-order superintegrable systems have long been a subject of interest in the study of integral systems, primarily due to their close connection with separation of variables. Among these, the 'non-degenerate' second-order systems on constant curvature spaces have been particularly well studies, and are mostly understood.

A non-degenerate system in n-dimensions comprises an (n+1)-dimensional vector space of potentials, along with 2n-1 second-order constants that commute with the Hamiltonian of the system.

In contrast, a semi-degenerate system is characterised by having fewer than n+1 parameters. In this talk, we will discuss the structure theory of truly n-dimensional potentials (meaning potentials that are not just restrictions of (n+1)-dimensional counterparts). We will see that the classical structure theory appears just as rich as the non-degenerate case.

This talk is joint work with Jeremy Nugent and Jonathan Kress.

Daniel Parra (Universidad de Santiago de Chile)
Towards a Levinson's Theorem for Discrete Magnetic operators on tubes under finite rank perturbations (English)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we study a family of magnetic Hamiltonians on discrete tubes under a finite rank perturbation supported on its border. We go into detail for the case of rank $2$ and show how the eigenvalues can be related to the scattering matrix to exhibit an index theorem in the tradition of Levison’s theorem. We then turn to the general case, discuss the different spectral scenarios that can occur and explain the C*-algebraic framework that could allow us to treat this case. This is an ongoing work with S. Richard (Nagoya), V. Austen (Nagoya) and A. Rennie (Wollongong).

Xiaomeng Xu (BICMR, China) 10:00-11:30
Stokes matrices of confluent hypergeometric systems and the isomonodromy deformation equations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk first gives an introduction to the Stokes matrices of a linear meromorphic system of Poncaré rank 1, and the associated nonlinear isomonodromy deformation equation. The nonlinear equation naturally arises from the theory of Frobenius manifolds, stability conditions, Poisson-Lie groups and so on, and can be seen as a higher rank generalizations of the sixth Painlevé equation. The talk then gives a parameterization of the asymptotics of the solutions of the isomonodromy equation at a critical point, the explicit formula of the monodromy/Stokes matrices of the linear problem via the parameterization, as well as a connection formula between two differential critical points. It can be seen as a generalization of Jimbo's work for the sixth Painlevé equation to a higher rank case. It is partially based on a joint work with Qian Tang.
Xiaomeng Xu (BICMR, China) 14:00-15:30
Stokes matrices of quantum confluent hypergeometric systems and the representation of quantum groups (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk studies a quantum analog of Stokes matrices of confluent hypergeometric systems. It first gives an introduction to the Stokes phenomenon of an irregular Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov at a second order pole, associated to a regular semisimple element u and a representation $L(\lambda)$ of $gl_n$. It then shows that the Stokes matrices of the
irregular Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation define representation of $U_q(gl_n)$ on $L(\lambda)$. In then end, using the isomonodromy approach, it derives an explicit expression of the regularized limit of the Stokes matrices as the regular semisimple element u goes to the caterpillar point in the wonderful compactification.
Xiaomeng Xu (BICMR, China) 16:00-17:30
The WKB approximation of (quantum) confluent hypergeometric systems, Cauchy interlacing inequality and crystal basis (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk studies the WKB approximation of the linear meromorphic systems of Poncaré rank 1 appearing in talk 1 and 2, via the isomonodromy approach. In the classical case, it unveils a relation between the WKB approximation, the Cauchy interlacing inequality and cluster algebras with the help of the spectral network; in the quantum case, motivated by the crystal limit of the quantum groups, it shows a relation between the WKB approximation and the gl_n-crystal structures. It is partially based on a joint work with
Anton Alekseev, Andrew Neitzke and Yan Zhou.

Cars, Interchanges, Traffic Counters, and some Pretty Darned Good Knot Invariants (English)
[ Abstract ]
Reporting on joint work with Roland van der Veen, I'll tell you some stories about ρ_1, an easy to define, strong, fast to compute, homomorphic, and well-connected knot invariant. ρ_1 was first studied by Rozansky and Overbay, it is dominated by the coloured Jones polynomial (but it isn't lesser!), it has far-reaching generalizations, and I wish I understood it.

Approximation of Random Variables by Elements that are independent of a given sigma algebra (English)
[ Abstract ]
Given a square integrable m-dimensional random variable $X$ on a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ and a sub sigma algebra $\mathcal{A}$, we show that there exists another m-dimensional random variable $Y$, independent of $\mathcal{A}$ and minimising the $L^2$ distance to $X$. Such results have an importance to fairness and bias reduction in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Network Theory. The proof needs elements from transportation theory, a parametric version due to Dudley and Blackwell of the Skorohod theorem, selection theorems, … The problem also triggers other approximation problems.

The Demailly--Peternell--Schneider conjecture is true in positive characteristic
[ Abstract ]
In 1993, Demailly, Peternell and Schneider conjectured that the Albanese morphism of a compact K\"{a}hler manifold with nef anti-canonical divisor is surjective. For smooth projective varieties of characteristic zero, the conjecture was verified by Zhang in 1996. In positive characteristic, the conjecture was solved under the assumption that the geometric generic fiber F of the Albanese morphism has only mild singularities. However, F may have bad singularities even if we restrict ourselves to the case when the anti-canonical divisor is nef. In this talk, we prove the conjecture in positive characteristic without any extra assumption. We also discuss properties of the Albanese morphism, such as flatness or local isotriviality. This talk is based on joint work with Zsolt Patakfalvi.

Quantum Field Theory in Mathematics (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
While quantum field theory has primarily been a theory in physics, it has also been a source of new ideas in mathematics, and has facilitated interactions between different branches of mathematics. There have also been many attempts to formulate quantum field theories themselves rigorously in mathematics. In this lecture we will discuss some examples of research in knot invariants and integrable models, to illustrate the impact of quantum field theories and string theory in modern mathematics.

Michael Wemyss (University of Glasgow)
Local Forms of Noncommutative Functions and Applications (English)
[ Abstract ]
This talk will explain how Arnold's results for commutative singularities can be extended into the noncommutative setting, with the main result being a classification of certain Jacobi algebras
arising from (complete) free algebras. This class includes finite dimensional Jacobi algebras, and also Jacobi algebras of GK dimension one, suitably interpreted. The surprising thing is that a classification should exist at all, and it is even more surprising that ADE enters.

I will spend most of my time explaining what the algebras are, what they classify, and how to intrinsically extract ADE information from them. At the end, I'll explain why I'm really interested in this problem, an update including results on different quivers, and the applications of the above classification to curve counting and birational geometry. This is joint work with Gavin Brown.

On the Painlevé XXV - Ermakov equation (English)
[ Abstract ]
We study a nonlinear second order ordinary differential equation which we call the Ermakov-Painlevé XXV equation since under certain restrictions on its coefficients it can be reduced to the Ermakov or the Painlevé XXV equation. The Ermakov-Painlevé XXV equation also arises from a generalized Riccati equation and the related third order linear differential equation via the Schwarzian derivative. Starting from the Riccati equation and the second-order element of the Riccati chain as the simplest examples of linearizable equations, by introducing a suitable change of variables, it is shown how the Schwarzian derivative represents a key tool in the construction of solutions. Two families of Bäcklund transformations, which link the linear and nonlinear equations under investigation, are obtained. Some analytical examples will be given and discussed.

The talk will be mainly based on the paper
S. Carillo, A. Chichurin, G. Filipuk, F. Zullo, Schwarzian derivative, Painleve XXV--Ermakov equation and Backlund transformations, accepted in Mathematische Nachrichten, https://doi.org/10.1002/mana.202200180, available at arXiv:2201.02267 [nlin.SI].

Nodal solutions for a class of degenerate BVP’s (English)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we characterize the existence of nodal solutions for a generalized class of one-dimensional diffusive logistic type equations, including
\[−u''=\lambda u−a(x)u^3,\quad x∈[0,L],\]
under the boundary conditions $u(0)=u(L)=0$, where $\lambda$ is regarded as a bifurcation parameter, and the non-negative weight function $a(x)$ vanishes on some subinterval
\[ [\alpha,\beta]\subset (0,L)\]
with $\alpha<\beta$.

At a later stage, the general case when $a(x)$ vanishes on finitely many subintervals with the same length is analyzed. Finally, we construct some examples with classical non-degenerate weights, with $a(x)>0$ for all $x∈[0,L]$, where the BVP has an arbitrarily large number of solutions with one node in $(0,L)$. These are the first examples of this nature constructed in the literature.

Degenerations of Riemann surfaces and small eigenvalues of the Laplacian (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we consider a proper surjective holomorphic map from a smooth projective surface to a compact Riemann surface. Near a singular fiber, this is viewed as a one-parameter degeneration of compact Riemann surfaces. We fix a Kähler metric on the projective surface and consider the Kähler metric on the fibers induced from this metric. In this setting, for each regular fiber, we can consider the Laplacian acting on the functions on the fiber. It is known that for any k, the k-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian extends to a continuous function on the base curve. In particular, if the singular fiber is not irreducible, some eigenvalues of the Laplacian of the regular fiber converge to zero as the regular fiber approaches to the singular fiber. We call such eigenvalues small eigenvalues. In this talk, when the singular fiber is reduced, we will explain the asymptotic behavior of the product of all small eigenvalues of the Laplacian.
