Multiplicity of singular solutions for semilinear elliptic equations with superlinear source terms (Japanese)
Norihisa Ioku (Tohoku University)
Multiplicity of singular solutions for semilinear elliptic equations with superlinear source terms (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The structure of singular solutions to semilinear elliptic equations has been well understood in the case of power-type nonlinearities in three or higher dimensions. In this talk, we introduce a classification of general monotone increasing nonlinearities based on their growth rates, and then explain a method for constructing radially symmetric singular solutions according to this classification. In particular, we present recent results on the multiplicity of singular solutions in the sub-Sobolev critical regime. This talk is based on a joint work with Professor Yohei Fujishima (Shizuoka University).

Veronica Fantini (Laboratoire Mathématique Orsay)
Modular resurgence (English)
[ Abstract ]
Quantum modular forms were introduced by Zagier in 2010 to characterize the failure of modularity of certain q-series. Since then, different examples of quantum modular forms have also been studied in complex Chern-Simons theory and, more recently, in topological string theory on local Calabi-Yau 3folds. This talk aims to discuss the approach of resurgence to the study of a class of quantum modular forms. More precisely, I will present modular resurgence structures and illustrate their main properties. This is based on arXiv:2404.11550.

Tatsuo Suwa (Hokkaido University)
Localized intersection product for maps and applications (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We define localized intersection product in manifolds using combinatorial topology, which corresponds to the cup product in relative cohomology via the Alexander duality. It is extended to localized intersection product for maps. Combined with the relative Cech-de Rham cohomology, it is effectively used in the residue theory of vector bundles and coherent sheaves. As an application, we have the functoriality of Baum-Bott residues of singular holomorphic foliations under certain conditions, which yields answers to problems and conjectures posed by various authors concerning singular holomorphic foliations and complex Poisson structures. This includes a joint work with M. Correa.

Disorder monomer-dimer model and maximum weight matching
[ Abstract ]
Given a finite graph, one puts i.i.d. weights on the edges and i.i.d. weights on the vertices. For a (partial) matching on this graph, define the weight of the matching by adding all the weights of the edges in the matching together with the weights of the unmatched vertices. One would like to understand how the maximum weight behaves as the size of the graph becomes large. The talk will be divided into two parts. In the first part, we consider the "positive temperature" case (a.k.a. the disorder monomer-dimer model). We show that the model exhibits correlation decay, and from this one can prove a Gaussian central limit theorem for the associated free energy. In the second part, we will focus on the "zero temperature" case, the maximum weight matching. We show that if the edge weights are exponentially distributed, and if the vertex weights are absent, then there is also correlation decay for a certain class of graphs. This correlation decay allows us to define the maximum weight matching on some infinite graphs and also prove limit theorems for the maximum weight matching. Joint work with Arnab Sen (Minnesota).

John A G Roberts (School of Mathematics and Statistics, UNSW Sydney / Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, The University of Tokyo)
Arithmetic and geometric aspects of the (symbolic) dynamics of piecewise-linear maps (English)
[ Abstract ]
We study a family of planar area-preserving maps, described by different $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ matrices on the right and left half-planes. Such maps, studied extensively by Lagarias and Rains in 2005, can support periodic and quasiperiodic dynamics with a foliation of the plane by invariant curves. The parameter space is two dimensional (the parameters being the traces of the two matrices) and the set of parameters for which an initial condition on the half-plane boundary returns to it are algebraic “critical” curves, described by the symbolic dynamics of the itinerary between the boundaries. An important component of the planar dynamics is the rotational dynamics it induces on the unit circle. The study of the arithmetic, algebraic, and geometric aspects of the planar and circle (symbolic) dynamics has connections to various parts of number theory and geometry, which I will mention. These include: Farey sequences; continued fraction expansions and continuant polynomials; the character variety of group representations in $SL(2, \mathbb{C})$ and $PSL(2, \mathbb{C})$; and the group of polynomial diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^3$ preserving the Fricke-Vogt invariant $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - xyz$.
This is joint work with Asaki Saito (Hakodate) and Franco Vivaldi (London).

Takuya Miyamoto (University of Tokyo)
Pathology of formal locally-trivial
deformations in positive characteristic
[ Abstract ]
An infinitesimal deformation of an algebraic variety X is called (formally) locally trivial if it is Zariski-locally isomorphic to the trivial deformation. The locally trivial deformation functor of X is the subfunctor of the usual deformation functor associated with X consisting of locally trivial deformations. In this talk, I will construct an explicit example that is an algebraic curve in positive characteristic whose locally trivial deformation functor does not satisfy Schlessinger’s first condition (H_1), in contrast to the complex/characteristic 0 case. In particular, this provides a negative answer to a question posed by H. Flenner and S. Kosarew. I will also mention recent progress on the structure of fibers of locally trivial deformation functors.

Toni Annala (University of Chicago)
A¹-Colocalization and Logarithmic Cohomology Theories
[ Abstract ]
In recent joint work with Hoyois and Iwasa, we discovered that non-A¹-invariant motivic homotopy theory offers a new lens for understanding logarithmic cohomology theories. Central to this perspective is A¹-colocalization, which produces a cohomology theory whose value on a smooth scheme U agrees with the "logarithmic cohomology" of a good compactification (X,D). In many examples, including de Rham and crystalline cohomology, the quotation marks can be dropped, as A¹-colocalization recovers the classical logarithmic cohomology groups. I will explain this connection and, time permitting, sketch a proof of the duality theorem underlying this phenomenon, which states that smooth projective schemes have a dualizable motive.

On the restriction of good filtration in the branching problem of reductive Lie groups (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In arXiv:2405.10382, a Cartan subalgebra related to the branching problem of reductive Lie groups was defined. It is considered to control the size and shape of the continuous spectrum in irreducible decompositions, and is defined using the support of the action of the center of the universal enveloping algebra. Except in special cases, direct computations from the definition of this Cartan subalgebra are difficult.
In this talk, I will present results on restrictions of good filtrations and show a relation between the associated varieties of representations and the Cartan subalgebra.
I will also discuss applications to the necessary condition for discrete decomposability and related conjectures by T. Kobayashi.

Maud Delattre (INRAE)
Efficient precondition stochastic gradient descent for estimation in latent variables models (English)
[ Abstract ]
Latent variable models are powerful tools for modeling complex phenomena involving in particular partially observed data, unobserved variables or underlying complex unknown structures. Inference is often difficult due to the latent structure of the model. To deal with parameter estimation in the presence of latent variables, well-known efficient methods exist, such as gradient-based and EM-type algorithms, but with practical and theoretical limitations. In this work, we propose as an alternative for parameter estimation an efficient preconditioned stochastic gradient algorithm.
Our method includes a preconditioning step based on a positive definite Fisher information matrix estimate. We prove convergence results for the proposed algorithm under mild assumptions for very general latent variable models. We illustrate through relevant simulations the performance of the proposed methodology in a nonlinear mixed-effects model.

Keita Goto (University of Tokyo)
Berkovich geometry and SYZ fibration
[ Abstract ]
The SYZ fibration refers to a special Lagrangian torus fibration on a Calabi–Yau manifold and has been extensively studied in the context of mirror symmetry.
In particular, for a degenerating family of Calabi--Yau manifolds, a family of SYZ fibrations defined on each fiber, away from a subset of sufficiently small measure, plays a central role.
However, the existence of such fibrations remains an open problem, known as the metric SYZ conjecture.
To approach this problem, formal analytic techniques are particularly effective, and Berkovich geometry lies at their foundation.
In this talk, I will explain Yang Li’s "comparison property," a sufficient condition for the conjecture, and present some related results I have been involved in. Along the way, I will also introduce some foundational ideas in Berkovich geometry.

The Allen-Cahn equation is closely related to the area functional on hypersurfaces and provides a means to investigate both its critical points (minimal hypersurfaces) and gradient flow (mean curvature flow). I will discuss various properties of the gradient flow of the Allen-Cahn equation with a fixed boundary contact angle condition, which is used to gain insight into an appropriate formulation for mean curvature flow with fixed boundary contact angle. This is based on joint work with M. Takada, Y. Tonegawa, and M. Workman.

Introduction to the Bernstein-Sato polynomial in positive characteristic
[ Abstract ]
The Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a holomorphic function is an invariant that originated in complex analysis, and with now strong applications to birational geometry and singularity theory over the complex numbers. For example, it detects the log-canonical threshold as well as the eigenvalues of the monodromy action on nearby cycles. In this talk I will define a characteristic-p analogue of this invariant, I will survey some of its basic properties, and I will illustrate how its behavior reflects arithmetic phenomena. This will serve as an introduction to the talk by Hiroki Kato.

Affine Yangians and non-rectangular W-algebras of type A (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The Yangian is a quantum group introduced by Drinfeld and is a deformation of the current Lie algebra in finite setting. Yangians are actively used for studies of one kind of vertex algebra called a W-algebra. One of the representative results is that Brundan and Kleshchev wrote down a finite W-algebra of type A as a quotient algebra of the shifted Yangian. The shifted Yangian contains a finite Yangian of type A as a subalgebra. De Sole, Kac, and Valeri constructed a homomorphism from this subalgebra to the finite W-algebra of type A by using the Lax operator.
In this talk, I will explain how to construct a homomorphism from the affine Yangian of type A to a non-rectangular W-algebra of type A, which can be regarded as an affine version of the result of De Sole-Kac-Valeri. This homomorphism is expected to lead to a generalization of the AGT conjecture.

Yuichi Ike (The University of Tokyo)
Interleaving distance for sheaves and its application to symplectic geometry (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The Interleaving distance was first introduced in the context of the stability of persistent homology and is now used in various fields. It was adapted to sheaves by the pioneering work of Curry, and later in the derived setting by Kashiwara and Schapira. In this talk, I will explain that the interleaving distance for sheaves is related to the energy of Hamiltonian actions on cotangent bundles. Moreover, I will show that the derived interleaving distance is complete, which enables us to treat non-smooth objects in symplectic geometry using sheaf-theoretic methods. This is based on joint work with Tomohiro Asano, Stéphane Guillermou, Vincent Humilière, and Claude Viterbo.

Change point estimation for Gaussian and binomial time series data with copula-based Markov chain models (Japanese)

Takeshi Emura (School of Informatics and Data Science, Hiroshima University)
Change point estimation for Gaussian and binomial time series data with copula-based Markov chain models (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Estimation of a change point is a classical statistical problem in sequential analysis and process control.
The classical maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) for a change point are limited to independent observations or linearly dependent observations. If these conditions are violated, the MLEs substantially lose their efficiency, and a likelihood function provides a poor fit to the data. A novel change point estimator is proposed under a copula-based Markov chain model for serially dependent observations, where the marginal distribution is binomial or Gaussian. The main novelty is the adaptation of a three-state copula model, consisting of the in-control state, out-of-control state, and transition state. Under this model, a MLE is proposed with the aid of profile likelihood.
A parametric bootstrap method is adopted to compute a confidence set for the unknown change point. The simulation studies show that the proposed MLE is more efficient than the existing estimators when serial dependence in observations are specified by the model. The proposed method is illustrated by the jewelry manufacturing data and the financial crisis data. This is joint work with Prof. Li‑Hsien Sun from National Central University, Taiwan. The presentation is based on two papers:

[ Reference URL ]Estimation of a change point is a classical statistical problem in sequential analysis and process control.
The classical maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) for a change point are limited to independent observations or linearly dependent observations. If these conditions are violated, the MLEs substantially lose their efficiency, and a likelihood function provides a poor fit to the data. A novel change point estimator is proposed under a copula-based Markov chain model for serially dependent observations, where the marginal distribution is binomial or Gaussian. The main novelty is the adaptation of a three-state copula model, consisting of the in-control state, out-of-control state, and transition state. Under this model, a MLE is proposed with the aid of profile likelihood.

Homotopy quantum field theories and 3-types (英語)
[ Abstract ]
Quantum topology is a field that came about in the 1980s following remarkable discoveries by Jones, Drinfeld and Witten, whose work dramatically renewed topology, in particular in low dimension. A fundamental notion in quantum topology is that of topological quantum field theory (TQFT) formulated by Witten and Atiyah. This notion originates in ideas from quantum physics and constitutes a framework that organizes certain topological invariants of manifolds, called quantum invariants, which are defined by means of quantum groups. Homotopy quantum field theories (HQFTs) are a generalization of TQFTs. The idea is to use TQFT techniques to study principal bundles over manifolds and, more generally, homotopy classes of maps from manifolds to a (fixed) topological space called the target.
Turaev and Virelizier have recently constructed 3-dimensional HQFTs (by state-sum) when the target space is aspherical (i.e. its n-th homotopy groups are trivial for n>1) and Sözer and Virelizier have constructed 3-dimensional HQFTs when the target space is a 2-type (i.e. its n-th homotopy groups are trivial for n>2). Using state sum techniques, Douglas and Reutter have constructed 4-dimensional TQFTs from spherical fusion 2-categories. In this talk, we combine both these approaches: we construct state sum 4-dimensional HQFTs with a 3-type target from fusion 2-categories graded by a 2-crossed module.

クーロン点過程の対数微分に対する明示表現とその応用 (Explicit formula to logarithmic derivatives of Coulomb random point fields and their applications)
[ Abstract ]
Coulomb点過程とは、d次元Coulomb ポテンシャルで相互作用するd次元空間の無限粒子系である。対数微分とは、個々の粒子が、相互作用によって、他の（無限個の）粒子から受ける力を表すベクトル場である。各粒子は対数微分に従って運動する。一般に、対数微分が存在すれば、確率力学が存在することが共著者によって証明されている。本講演は、クーロン点過程の対数微分の存在を証明し、更に、明示表現を構築する。明示表現の応用として、対応する無限次元確率微分方程式のパスワイズ一意の強解の存在を証明する。これを、2次元以上のすべての次元の、すべての正の逆温度に対して行う。
Gibbs測度の理論は、1970年ごろ、DLR方程式を基に確立した。しかし、Ruelle族という、遠方での可積分性を持つ干渉ポテンシャルに適用範囲が限られていた。自然界の最も基本的なポテンシャルであるCoulombポテンシャルが、Gibbs測度の理論からずっと長い間、除外されてきた。本明示表現の応用として、Coulombポテンシャルを含む、強い遠距離相互作用を持つ点過程の広いクラスに対して有効な、干渉ポテンシャルと点過程を結び付ける方程式（定式化）を与える。これは、DLR方程式の役割を、CoulombやRieszポテンシャルという、遠距離強相互作用に対して果たすものである。

GUE fluctuations near the time axis of the one-sided ballistic deposition model
[ Abstract ]
Ballistic deposition is a model of interface growth introduced by Vold in 1959, which has remained largely mathematically intractable. It is believed that it is in the KPZ universality class. We introduce the one-sided ballistic deposition model, in which vertically falling blocks can only stick to the top or the upper right corner of growing columns, but not to the upper left corners of growing columns as in ballistic deposition. We establish that strong KPZ universality holds near the time axis, proving that the fluctuations of the height function there are given by the Tracy-Widom GUE distribution. The proof is based on a graphical construction of the process in terms of a last passage percolation model. This is a joint work with Pablo Groisman, Santiago Saglietti and Sebastián Zaninovich.
