CR Paneitz operator on non-embeddable CR manifolds (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The CR Paneitz operator, a CR invariant fourth-order linear differential operator, plays a crucial role in three-dimensional CR geometry. It is closely related to global embeddability, the CR positive mass theorem, and the logarithmic singularity of the Szegő kernel. In this talk, I will discuss the spectrum of the CR Paneitz operator on non-embeddable CR manifolds, with particular emphasis on how it differs from the embeddable case.

Writing Uncorrelated Random Variables as a sum of Independent Random Variables (English)
[ Abstract ]
With Majumdar I proved that for a random variable $X$ that is uncorrelated to a sigma algebra, there exists a best approximation by a random variable that is independent of the sigma algebra. Inductively we get a series of random variables whose terms are independent of the sigma algebra. We show that this series converge to $X$ in $L^2$. The proof uses the Knott-Smith theorem from transport theory. In an earlier version we could show that convergence took place in $L^1$.

On the shape of fractional minimal surfaces (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Fractional perimeter (or fractional area) has been studied for more than a decade since Caffarelli, Roquejofffre, and Savin introduced its notion in 2010; however, there are still a lot of things unknown. In this talk, we discuss the shape of the boundary of sets minimizing their fractional perimeter under several boundary conditions, reviewing several interesting examples distinct from sets minimizing their classical perimeter. Moreover, if time permits, we present another notion of fractional area for smooth hypersurfaces with boundary, which was introduced by Paroni, Podio-Guidugli, and Seguin in 2018. Then we discuss the shape of critical points of their fractional area in several simple situations. This talk is partially based on a joint work with S. Dipierro and E. Valdinoci.

Some new results concerning Tate's questions and generalisations
[ Abstract ]
In the 1960s, Tate formulated (inspired by Weil's conjectures and a result of Serre on compact Kahler manifolds) a couple of questions concerning eigenvalues for pullback on cohomology of polarized endomorphisms. Grothendieck and Bombieri proposed Standard conjectures to solve these questions by Tate. The speaker, inspired by complex dynamics, proposed a generalisation of one of Tate's questions to rational maps and dynamical correspondences. This talk presents some new results and approaches (which are less demanding than the Standard conjectures, in that Standard Conjecture of Hodge type is not required) concerning these Tate's questions and generalisation. The talk includes joint works with Fei Hu and Junyi Xie.

For Liouville sectors, Floer theory in families without Floer theory in families
[ Abstract ]
Numbers do not have automorphisms, but most other mathematical objects do.

So when Floer theory yields non-numerical invariants, one can hope for symmetries to act on such invariants. Typically, one realizes these actions by carefully setting up an analytical framework for Floer theory to vary over the fibers of some bundle. In the setting of Floer theory for a class of symplectic manifolds called Liouville sectors, we show that a completely different technique -- localization of infinity-categories -- achieves the same goals, and more! This talk is based on some old joint work with Oleg Lazarev and Zachary Sylvan.

Analyticity of 3D Brownian intersection exponents

The tempered tube and the tempered cohomology
[ Abstract ]
We will discuss a recent joint work with F. Bambozzi and P. Vanni (https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.09473). In the derived analytic spaces in the non arch. setting there are opens where the sections not only converge but they have also some arithmetic properties (log-growth). We will discuss how to construct such a spaces and we will give some applications: to the classical log-growth transfer theorem and on a new interpretation of convergent cohomology where one can replace the classical tube of the rigid cohomology with a "tempered one".

Recent Advances in Simple Random Walks (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
A simple random walk is a stochastic process in which, for example in two dimensions, the walker moves at each time step to one of the four neighboring sites—up, down, left, or right—with equal probability 1/4. Although this model has been extensively studied for many years, a number of fundamental questions remain unsolved even in such a simple setting.In this talk, I will provide an overview of recent developments in the field, along with some of our recent results.

Quintic del Pezzo threefolds in positive and mixed characteristic
[ Abstract ]
We will show that, over any base scheme, (families of) quintic del Pezzo threefolds V5 are classified by non-degenerate ternary symmetric bilinear forms.
As applications, we will discuss (1) the geometry of quintic del Pezzo threefolds in positive characteristic, especially in characteristic two, and (2) finiteness results of V5 over number fields/rings of integers.

Sharp spectral gaps for scl from negative curvature (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Stable commutator length is a measure of homological complexity of group elements, with connections to many topics in geometric topology, including quasimorphisms, bounded cohomology, and simplicial volume. The goal of this talk is to shed light on some of its relations with negative curvature. We will present a new geometric proof of a theorem of Heuer on sharp lower bounds for scl in right-angled Artin groups. Our proof relates letter-quasimorphisms (which are analogues of real-valued quasimorphisms with image in free groups) to negatively curved angle structures for surfaces estimating scl.

Polynomially many genus g surfaces in a hyperbolic 3-manifold (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
For a low-dimensional manifold, one often tries to understand its intrinsic topology through its submanifolds, in particular of co-dimension 1. For example,
it was noticed before that presence of embedded essential surfaces in a 3-manifold can give information about that manifold. However to construct, classify or count such surfaces is a non-trivial task. We will discuss a universal upper bound for the number of non-isotopic genus g surfaces embedded in a hyperbolic 3-manifold, polynomial in hyperbolic volume. The surfaces are all closed essential surfaces, oriented and connected. This is joint work with Marc Lackenby.

Zariski-dense deformations of standard discontinuous groups for pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces
[ Abstract ]
In higher-dimensional Riemannian compact locally symmetric spaces, rigidity theory has been developed by Selberg, Weil, Mostow, Margulis, and so on. On the other hand, since the late 1980s, Toshiyuki Kobayashi initiated the study of deformation theory for locally symmetric spaces beyond the Riemannian setting. In particular, a family of pseudo-Riemannian compact locally symmetric spaces of arbitrarily high dimension without local rigidity were discovered. In this talk, we focus on a class of pseudo-Riemannian compact locally symmetric spaces known as standard ones. We explore questions such as the following: (1) Do they possess local rigidity? (2) Can they be continuously deformed into non-standard ones? For example, we show that compact space forms of constant negative curvature with signature (4, 3) in dimension 7 admit continuous deformations, analogous to hyperbolic compact Riemann surfaces. These deformations are constructed using the bending construction, originally introduced by Thurston. This talk is based on joint work (arXiv:2507.03476) with Toshiyuki Kobayashi.

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.
