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.

[ Abstract ]
Following a general discussion of the computation of zombians of unfinished columbaria (with examples), I will tell you about my recent joint work with Jessica Liu on what we feel is the "textbook" extension of knot signatures to tangles, which for unknown reasons, is not in any of the textbooks that we know.

Freddy Delbaen (Professor emeritus at ETH Zurich)
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.

Masahito Yamazaki (Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Uniiverse, the University of Tokyo)
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.

Galina Filipuk (University of Warsaw)
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.

Duality for motivic cohomology over local fields and applications to class field theory. (English)
[ Abstract ]
We give an outline a (conjectural) construction of cohomology groups for smooth and proper varieties over local fields with values in the heart of the derived category of locally compact groups.
This theory should satisfy a Pontrjagin duality theorem, and for certain weights, we give an ad hoc construction which satisfies such a duality unconditionally.
As an application we discuss class field theory for smooth and proper varieties over local fields.

Reciprocity of the Chern-Simons invariants of 3-manifolds (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Given an oriented closed 3-manifold $M$ and a representation $\pi_1(M) \longrightarrow SL_2(\mathbb{C})$, we can define the Chern-Simons invariant and adjoint Reidemeister torsion. Recently, several physicists and topologists pose and study reciprocity conjectures of the torsions. Analogously, I pose reciprocity conjectures of the Chern-Simons invariants of 3-manifolds, and argue some supporting evidence on the conjectures. Especially, I show that the conjectures hold if Galois descent of a certain $K_3$-group is satisfied. In this talk, I will explain the backgrounds and the results in detail.

Guy Henniart (Université Paris-Saclay)
Did you say $p$-adic? (English)
[ Abstract ]
I am a Number Theorist and $p$ is a prime number. The $p$-adic numbers are obtained by pushing to the limit a simple idea. Suppose that you want to know which integers are sums of two squares. If an integer $x$ is odd, its square has the form $8k+1$; if $x$ is even, its square is a multiple of $4$. So the sum of two squares has the form $4k$, $4k+1$ or $4k+2$, never $4k+3$ ! More generally if a polynomial equation with integer coefficients has no integer solution if you work «modulo $N$» that is you neglect all multiples of an integer $N$, then a fortiori it has no integer solution. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem, working modulo $N$ is the same as working modulo $p^r$ where $p$ runs through prime divisors of $N$ and $p^r$ is the highest power of $p$ dividing $N$. Now work modulo $p$, modulo $p^2$, modulo $p^3$, etc. You have invented the $p$-adic integers, which are, I claim, as real as the real numbers and (nearly) as useful!

Preimages question and dynamical cancellation
[ Abstract ]
Pulling back an invariant subvariety by a self-morphism on projective variety, you will get a tower of increasing closed subsets. Working over a number field, we expect that the set of rational points contained in this increasing subsets eventually stabilizes. I am planning to discuss several results on this problem, such as the case of etale morphisms, morphisms on the product of two P^1. I will also present some counter examples that occur when we drop some of the assumptions. This work is based on a joint work with Matt Satriano and Jason Bell, and recent work in progress with Kaoru Sano.
