Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen (Aarhus University)
Geometric Recursion (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Geometric Recursion is a very general machinery for constructing mapping class group invariants objects associated to two dimensional surfaces. After presenting the general abstract definition we shall see how a number of constructions in low dimensional geometry and topology fits into this setting. These will include the Mirzakhani-McShane identies, mapping class group invariant closed forms on Teichmüller space (including the Weil-Petterson symplectic form) and the Goldman symplectic form on moduli spaces of flat connections for general compact simple Lie groups. We shall also discuss the process which establishes that any application of Topological Recursion can be lifted to a Geometric Recursion setting involving continuous functions on Teichmüller space, where the connection back to Topological Recursion is obtained by integration over the moduli space of curve. The work
presented is joint with G. Borot and N. Orantin.

Large deviation theory for age-structured population dynamics
[ Abstract ]
Control of population growth is ubiquitous problem in many fields. In the context of medical treatment, we attempt to diminish the growing speed of a cell population composed of cancer cells or pathogens by using antibiotics or some special therapies. In terms of evolutional biology, to survive in a fluctuating environment, cells maximize (optimize) their population growth by exploiting a risk hedge strategy for adaptation to the fluctuation. Recent development of experimental devices enables us to measure a big size lineage data that describes a growing cell population. In this study, by using these lineage data, we analyze a behavior of the population growth. Here, a structure of statistical mechanics using the large deviation theory plays an important role. As a results, we reveal that the population growth rate is given by the Legendre transform of the large deviation function for the semi-Markov process that describes a stochastic switch of cell types in the time evolution. Furthermore, by using this structure, we show that responses of the population growth rate with respect to an environmental change can be evaluated by statistics on a retrospective lineage path.

In this talk we consider parametric hypotheses testing for discretely observed ergodic diffusion processes. We present the different test statistics proposed in literature and recall their asymptotic properties. We also compare the empirical performance of different tests in the case of small sample sizes.

Plethysms and Kronecker coefficients in geometric complexity theory
[ Abstract ]
Research on Kronecker coefficients and plethysms gained significant momentum when the topics were connected with geometric complexity theory, an approach towards computational complexity lower bounds via algebraic geometry and representation theory. This talk is about several recent results that were obtained with geometric complexity theory as motivation, namely the NP-hardness of deciding the positivity of Kronecker coefficients and an inequality between rectangular Kronecker coefficients and plethysm coefficients. While the proof of the former statement is mainly combinatorial, the proof of the latter statement interestingly uses insights from algebraic complexity theory. As far as we know algebraic complexity theory has never been used before to prove an inequality between representation theoretic multiplicities.

Sliced nearby cycles and duality, after W. Zheng (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In the early 1980's Gabber proved duality for nearby cycles and, by a different method, Beilinson proved duality for vanishing cycles in the strictly local case (up to a twist of the inertia action on the tame part). Recently W. Zheng found a simple proof of a result, conjectured by Deligne, which implies them both, and extended it over finite dimensional excellent bases. I will explain the main ideas of his work, which relies on new developments, due to him, of Deligne's theory of fibered and oriented products.

"Estimating functions for SDE driven by stable Lévy processes"
Joint work with Emmanuelle Clément (Ecole Centrale)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we will discuss about parametric inference for a stochastic differential equation driven by a pure-jump Lévy process, based on high frequency observations on a fixed time period. Assuming that the Lévy measure of the driving process behaves like that of an α-stable process around zero, we propose an estimating functions based method which leads to asymptotically efficient estimators for any value of α ∈ (0, 2).

The topology of singular points of real analytic curves (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In the neighborhood of a singular point, a germ of real analytic curve in the plane consists of a finite number of branches. Each of these branches intersects a small circle around the singular point in two points. Therefore, the local topology is described by a chord diagram : an even number of points on a circle paired two by two. Not all chord diagrams come from a singular point. The main purpose of this mini course is to give an complete description of those ‘’analytic ? chord diagrams. On our way, we shall meet some interesting concepts from computer science, graph theory and operads.

The category of bottom tangles in handlebodies, and the Kontsevich integral (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Habiro introduced the category B of « bottom tangles in handlebodies », which encapsulates the set of knots in the 3-sphere as well as the mapping class groups of 3-dimensional handlebodies. There is a natural filtration on the category B defined using an appropriate generalization of Vassiliev invariants. In this talk, we will show that the completion of B with respect to the Vassiliev filtration is isomorphic to a certain category A which can be defined either in a combinatorial way using « Jacobi diagrams », or by a universal property via the notion of « Casimir Hopf algebra ». Such an isomorphism will be obtained by extending the Kontsevich integral (originally defined as a knot invariant) to a functor Z from B to A. This functor Z can be regarded as a refinement of the TQFT-like functor derived from the LMO invariant and, if time allows, we will evoke the topological interpretation of the « tree-level » of Z. (This is based on joint works with Kazuo Habiro.)

Existence, multiplicity, and orbital stability for travelling waves in a nonlinearly supported beam (English)
[ Abstract ]
For a nonlinear beam equation with exponential nonlinearity, we prove existence of at least 36 travelling wave solutions for the specific wave speed c=1.3. Our proof makes heavy use of computer assistance: starting from numerical approximations, we use a fixed point argument to prove existence of solutions "close to" the approximate ones. Furthermore we investigate the orbital stability of these solutions by making use of both analytical and computer-assisted techniques.

An approach to computer-assisted existence proofs for nonlinear space-time fractional parabolic problems (English)
[ Abstract ]
We consider an initial boundary value problem for a space-time fractional parabolic equation, which includes the fractional Laplacian, i.e. a nonlocal operator. We treat a corresponding local problem which is obtained by the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension technique, and show how to enclose a solution of the extended problem by computer-assisted means.

Sine-square deformation of one-dimensional critical systems (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Sine-square deformation (SSD) is one example of smooth boundary conditions that have significantly smaller finite-size effects than open boundary conditions. In a one-dimensional system with SSD, the interaction strength varies smoothly from the center to the edges according to the sine-square function. This means that the Hamiltonian of the system is inhomogeneous, as it lacks translational symmetry. Nevertheless, previous studies have revealed that the SSD leaves the ground state of the uniform chain with periodic boundary conditions (PBC) almost unchanged for critical systems. In particular, I showed in [1,2,3] that the correspondence is exact for critical XY and quantum Ising chains. The same correspondence between SSD and PBC holds for Dirac fermions in 1+1 dimension and a family of more general conformal field theories. If time permits, I will also introduce more recent results [4,5] and discuss the excited states of the SSD systems.

Modular invariant representations of the $N=2$ vertex operator superalgebra (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
One of the most remarkable features in representation theory of a (``good'') vertex operator superalgebra (VOSA) is the modular invariance property of the characters. As an application of the property, M. Wakimoto and D. Adamovic proved that all the fusion rules for the simple $N=2$ VOSA of central charge $c_{p,1}=3(1-2/p)$ are computed from the modular $S$-matrix by the so-called Verlinde formula. In this talk, we present a new ``modular invariant'' family of irreducible highest weight modules over the simple $N=2$ VOSA of central charge $c_{p,p'}:=3(1-2p'/p)$. Here $(p,p')$ is a pair of coprime integers such that $p,p'>1$. In addition, we will discuss some generalization of the Verlinde formula in the spirit of Creutzig--Ridout.

Nonlinear Economic Time Series Models

[ Abstract ]
The lecture goes through several chapters in the book “Modelling Nonlinear Economic Time Series” by Teräsvirta, Tjøstheim and Granger in 2010. The lecture serves as an introduction for the students and researchers who are interested in this area. It introduces a number of examples of families of nonlinear time series parametric models in economic theory. It also talks about testing linearity against parametric alternatives with the presence of a characterization of the identification problem in many situations. Different ways of solving the identification problem are presented and their merits and disadvantages are discussed.

Analytic, representation and statistical aspects related to fractional Gaussian processes.

[ Abstract ]
We consider the properties of fractional Gaussian processes whose covariance function is situated between two self-similarities, or, in other words, these processes belong to the generalized quasi-helix, according to geometric terminology of Kahane. For such processes we consider the two-sided bounds for maximal functionals and the representation results. We consider stochastic differential equations involving fractional Brownian motion and present also several results on statistical estimations for them.

Estimation of ratios of intensities in a Cox-type model of limit order books
[ Abstract ]
We introduce a Cox-type model for relative intensities of orders flows in a limit order book. The Cox-like intensities of the counting processes of events are assumed to share an unobserved and unspecified baseline intensity, which in finance can be identified to a global market activity affecting all events. The model is formulated in terms of relative responses of the intensities to covariates, and relative parameters can be estimated by quasi likelihood maximization. Consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators are proven. Computationally intensive inferences are run on large samples of tick-by-tick data (35+ stocks and 220+ trading days, adding to more than one billion events). Penalization methods are also investigated. Results of the model are interpreted in terms of probability of occurrence of events. Excellent agreement with empirical data is found. Estimated model reproduces known empirical facts on imbalance, spread and queue sizes, and helps identifying trading signals of interests on a given stock.
