Quasiconformal and Sobolev mappings on metric measure
[ Abstract ]
The study of quasiconformal mappings has been an important and active topic since its introduction in the 1930s and the theory has been widely applied to different fields including differential geometry, harmonic analysis, PDEs, etc. In the Euclidean space, it is a fundamental result that three definitions (metric, geometric and analytic) of quasiconformality are equivalent. The theory of quasiconformal mappings has been extended to metric measure spaces by Heinonen and Koskela in the 1990s and their work laid the foundation of analysis on metric spaces. In general, the equivalence of the three characterizations will no longer hold without appropriate assumptions on the spaces and mappings. It is a question of general interest to find minimal assumptions on the metric spaces and on the mapping to guarantee the metric definition implies the analytic characterization or geometric characterization. In this talk, we will give an brief review of the above mentioned classical theory and present some recent results we achieved in obtaining the analytic property, in particular, the Sobolev regularity of a metric quasiconformal mapping with relaxed spaces and mapping conditions. Unexpectedly, we can apply this to prove results that are new even in the classical Euclidean setting. This is joint work with Panu Lahti (Chinese Academy of Sciences).

Andrew Hone (University of Kent)
Deformations of cluster mutations and invariant presymplectic forms
[ Abstract ]
We consider deformations of sequences of cluster mutations in finite type cluster algebras, which destroy the Laurent property but preserve the presymplectic structure defined by the exchange matrix. The simplest example is the Lyness 5-cycle, arising from the cluster algebra of type A_2: this deforms to the Lyness family of integrable symplectic maps in the plane. For types A_3 and A_4 we find suitable conditions such that the deformation produces a two-parameter family of Liouville integrable maps (in dimensions two and four, respectively). We also perform Laurentification for these maps, by lifting them to a higher-dimensional space of tau functions with a cluster algebra structure, where the Laurent property is restored. More general types of deformed mutations associated with affine Dynkin quivers are shown to correspond to four-dimensional symplectic maps arising as reductions of the discrete sine-Gordon equation.

A modern point of view on Antony Wassermann's paper "Operator Algebras and Conformal Field Theory III" (English)
[ Abstract ]
In 1998, Antony Wassermann's groundbreaking paper "Operator Algebras and Conformal Field Theory III" was published. This paper calculated Connes fusion rules for the representations of type A WZW conformal nets and was essential to many subsequent works on conformal nets. In this talk, I will try to convince the audience that many of Wassermann's ideas are powerful for understanding VOA/Conformal net correspondence in the framework of Carpi-Kawahigashi-Longo-Weiner and Tener.

Naohiko Kasuya (Hokkaido University)
On the strongly pseudoconcave boundary of a compact complex surface (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
On the strongly pseudoconvex (resp. pseudoconcave) boundary of a complex surface, the complex
tangency defines a positive (resp. negative) contact structure. Bogomolov and De Oliveira proved
that the boundary contact structure of a strongly pseudoconvex surface is Stein fillable.
Therefore, for a closed contact 3-manifold, Stein fillability and holomorphic fillability are
equivalent. Then what about the boundary of a strongly pseudoconcave surface? We prove that any
closed negative contact 3-manifold can be realized as the boundary of a strongly pseudoconcave
surface. The proof is done by establishing holomorphic handle attaching method to the strongly
pseudoconcave boundary of a complex surface, based on Eliashberg's handlebody construction of Stein
manifolds. This is a joint work with Daniele Zuddas (University of Trieste).

Applications of uniform bounded families of g-modules to branching problems (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Using the notion of uniformly bounded families of g-modules introduced in arXiv:2109.05556, we can prove several finiteness and uniform boundedness results of multiplicities in branching laws and induced representations.
After the introduction of such results, I will explain how to obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform boundedness of multiplicities in branching laws given in arXiv:2109.05555.

Alex Youcis (University of Tokyo)
Geometric arc fundamental group (English)
[ Abstract ]
Unlike algebraic geometry, the correct notion for a ‘covering space’ of a rigid analytic variety is non-obvious to define. In particular, the class of finite etale covering spaces doesn’t encompass many real world examples of ‘covering space’-like maps (e.g. Tate’s uniformization of elliptic curves, or period mappings of Rapoport—Zink spaces). In de Jong’s seminal work on the topic he made great strides forward by studying a notion of covering space, suggested by work of Berkovich, which includes many previous ‘covering spaces’ which are not finite etale and is rich enough to support a theory of a fundamental group.

Unfortunately, de Jong’s notion of covering space lacks many of the natural properties one would expect from the notion of a ‘covering space’. In this talk we discuss recent work of Achinger, Lara, and myself which proposes a larger class of ‘covering spaces’ than those considered by de Jong which enjoys the geometric properties missing from de Jong’s picture. In addition, we mention how this larger category is related to work of Scholze on pro-etale local systems as well as work of Bhatt and Scholze on the pro-etale fundamental group of a scheme.

Global structure of steady-states for a cross-diffusion limit in the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In 1979, Shigesada, Kawasaki and Teramoto proposed a Lotka-Volterra competition model with cross-diffusion terms in order to realize the segregation phenomena of two competing species. This talk concerns the asymptotic behavior of steady-states to the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model in the full cross-diffusion limit where both coefficients of cross-diffusion terms tend to infinity at the same rate. In the former half of this talk, we derive a uniform estimate of all steady-states independent of the cross-diffusion terms. In the latter half, we show the global structure of steady-states of a shadow system in the full cross-diffusion limit.

Yoshihiko Shinomiya (Shizuoka University)
Period matrices of some hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we give new examples of period matrices of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces. For generic genus, there were few examples of period matrices. The period matrix of a Riemann surface depends only on the choice of symplectic basis of the first homology group. It is difficult to find a symplectic basis in general. We construct hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces of generic genus from some rectangles and find their symplectic bases. Moreover, we give their algebraic equations. The algebraic equations are of the form $w^2=z(z^2-1)(z^2-a_1^2)(z^2-a_2^2) \cdots (z^2-a_{g-1}^2)$ ($1 < a_1< a_2< \cdots < a_{g-1}$). From them, we can calculate period matrices of our Riemann surfaces. We also show that all algebraic curves of this types of equations are obtained by our construction.

Classification of type A analogues of minimal representations
(Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
If $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple Lie algebra not of type A, the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$ has a unique completely prime primitive ideal whose associated variety equals the closure of the minimal nilpotent orbit. The ideal is called the Joseph Ideal. An irreducible admissible representation of a simple Lie group is called minimal if the annihilator of the underlying $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})$-modules is given by the Joseph ideal. Minimal representations are known to have simple $\mathfrak{k}$-type decompositions (called pencil), and a simple Lie group has at most two minimal representations up to complex conjugate. In this talk, we consider the type A analogues for the above statements.

Bayesian Fixed-domain Asymptotics for Covariance Parameters in Gaussian Random Field Models
[ Abstract ]
Asia-Pacific Seminar in Probability and Statistics (APSPS)
https://sites.google.com/view/apsps/home

Gaussian random field models are commonly used for modeling spatial processes. In this work we focus on the Gaussian process with isotropic Matern covariance functions. Under fixed-domain asymptotics,it is well known that when the dimension of data is less than or equal to three, the microergodic parameter can be consistently estimated with asymptotic normality while the range (or length-scale) parameter cannot. Motivated by this frequentist result, we prove that under a Bayesian fixed-domain framework, the posterior distribution of the microergodic parameter converges in total variation norm to a normal distribution with shrinking variance, while the posterior of the range parameter does not necessarily converge. Built on this new theory, we further show that the Bayesian kriging predictor satisfies the posterior asymptotic efficiency in linear prediction. We illustrate these asymptotic results in numerical examples.

Seiberg-Witten Floer homotopy and contact structures (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Seiberg-Witten theory has been an efficient tool to study 4-dimensional symplectic and 3-dimensional contact geometry. In this talk, we introduce new homotopical invariants related to these structures using Seiberg-Witten theory and explain their properties and applications. These invariants have two main origins:
1. Kronheimer-Mrowka's invariant for 4-manifold with contact boundary, whose construction is based on Seiberg-Witten equation on 4-manifolds with conical end.
2. Bauer-Furuta and Manolescu's homotopical method called finite dimensional approximation in Seiberg-Witten theory.
This talk includes joint works with Masaki Taniguchi(RIKEN) and Anubhav Mukherjee(Georgia tech).

Twisted Alexander polynomials, chirality, and local deformations of hyperbolic 3-cone-manifolds (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We discuss a relationship between the chirality of knots and higher dimensional twisted Alexander polynomials associated with holonomy representations of hyperbolic $3$-cone-manifolds. In particular, we provide a new necessary condition for a knot, that appears in a hyperbolic $3$-cone-manifold of finite volume as a singular set, to be amphicheiral. Moreover, we can detect the chirality of hyperbolic twist knots, according to our criterion, using low-dimensional irreducible representations. (This is a joint work with Takayuki Morifuji.)

Bounded multiplicity in the branching problems of "small" infinite-dimensional representations (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
I plan to explain a geometric criterion for the bounded multiplicity property of “small” infinite-dimensional
representations of real reductive Lie groups in branching problems.

Applying the criterion to symmetric pairs, we give a full description of the triples H ⊂ G ⊃ G' such that any irreducible admissible representations of G with H-distinguished vectors have the bounded multiplicity property when restricted to the subgroup G'.

The precise results are available in [Adv. Math. 2021, Section 7] and arXiv:2109.14424, and I plan to give some flavor.

Ergodic risk-sensitive control: history, new results and open problems
[ Abstract ]
Asia-Pacific Seminar in Probability and Statistics (APSPS)
https://sites.google.com/view/apsps/home

Risk-sensitive control became popular because of the robustness it provides to the optimal control. Its connection to the theory of large deviation also made it a natural candidate of mathematical interest. In this talk, we shall give an overview of the history of risk-sensitive control problems and some of its applications. We shall then (informally) discuss the ways of tackling this problem and the main questions of interest. At the end, we shall see some important open problems.

Dependence, Sklar's copulas and discreteness
[ Abstract ]
Asia-Pacific Seminar in Probability and Statistics (APSPS)
https://sites.google.com/view/apsps/home

Copulas have now become ubiquitous statistical tools for describing, analysing and modelling dependence between random variables. Yet the classical copula approach, building on Sklar’s theorem, cannot be legitimised if the variables of interest are not continuous. Indeed in the presence of discreteness, copula models are (i) unidentifiable, and (ii) not margin-free, and this by construction. In spite of the serious inconsistencies that this creates, downplaying statements are widespread in the literature, where copula methods are devised and used in discrete settings. In this work we call to reconsidering this current practice. To reconcile copulas with discreteness, we argued that they should be apprehended from a more fundamental perspective. Inspired by century-old ideas of Yule, we propose a novel construction which allows all the pleasant properties of copulas for modelling dependence (in particular:‘margin-freeness’) to smoothly carry over to the discrete setting.
