Błażej Szepietowski (Gdansk University)
Topological rigidity of finite cyclic group actions on compact surfaces (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Two actions of a group on a surface are called topologically equivalent if they are conjugate by a homeomorphism of the surface. I will describe a method of enumeration (and classification) of topological equivalence classes of actions of a finite group on a compact surface, based on the combinatorial theory of noneuclidean crystallographic groups (NEC groups in short) and a relationship between the outer automorphism group of an NEC group and certain mapping class group. By this method we study topological equivalence of actions of a finite cyclic group on a compact surface, in the situation where the order of the group is large relative to the genus of the surface.

Semisimplicity of geometric monodromy on etale cohomology (joint work with Anna Cadoret and Chun Yin Hui)

(English)
[ Abstract ]
Let K be a function field over an algebraically closed field of characteritic p \geq 0, X a proper smooth K-scheme, and l a prime distinct from p. Deligne proved that the Q_l-coefficient etale cohomology groups of the geometric fiber of X --> K are always semisimple as G_K-modules. In this talk, we consider a similar problem for the F_l-coefficient etale cohomology groups. Among other things, we show that if p=0 (resp. in general), they are semisimple for all but finitely many l's (resp. for all l's in a set of density 1).

Universal Gysin formulas for flag bundles


[ Abstract ]
We give generalizations of the formula for the push-forward of a power of the hyperplane class in a projective bundle to flag bundles of type A, B, C, D. The formulas (and also the proofs) involve only the Segre classes of the original vector bundles and characteristic classes of universal bundles. This is a joint work with Lionel Darondeau.

Aniceto Murillo (Universidad de Malaga)
Homotopy theory of differential graded Lie algebras (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Having as motivation the Deligne's principle by which every deformation functor is governed by a differential graded Lie algebra, we build a homotopy theory for these algebras which extend the classical Quillen approach and let us model any (non necessarily 1-connected nor path connected) complex. This is joint work with Urtzi Buijs, Yves Félix and Daniel Tanré.

Tuesday Seminar of Analysis

16:50-18:20   Room #126 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Jussi Behrndt (Graz University of Technology)
Scattering matrices and Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps (English)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we discuss a recent result on the representation of the scattering matrix in terms of an abstract Titchmarsh-Weyl m-function. The general result can be applied to scattering problems for Schrödinger operators with $\delta$-type interactions on curves and  hypersurfaces, and scattering problems involving Neumann and Robin realizations of Schrödinger operators on unbounded domains. In both applications we obtain formulas for the corresponding scattering matrices in terms of Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps. This talk is based on joint work with Mark Malamud and Hagen Neidhardt.

Algebraic Geometry Seminar

15:30-17:00   Room #122 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Piotr Pragacz (Institute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences )
Gysin maps, duality and Schubert classes (English)
[ Abstract ]
We establish a Gysin formula for Schubert bundles
and a strong version of the duality theorem in Schubert calculus
on Grassmann bundles. We then combine them to compute the fundamental
classes of Schubert bundles in Grassmann bundles, which yields a new
proof of the Giambelli formula for vector bundles. This is a joint
work with Lionel Darondeau.

Taro Asuke (The University of Tokyo)
Defining the Julia sets on CP^2 (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The Julia sets play a central role in the study of complex dynamical systems as well as Kleinian groups where they appear as limit sets. They are also known to be meaningful for complex foliations without singularities, however still not defined for singular ones. In this talk, I will discuss some expected properties of the Julia sets for singular foliations and difficulties for defining them.

Using mathematical objects (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Mathematical models are not only teaching tools or pieces of museum but can also have inspiring influence to discovering new truths in mathematics. Through some examples including the Boy surface we will show how models have played a major role in the emergence of new results.

Tuesday Seminar on Topology

17:00-18:30   Room #056 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Takahiro Kitayama (The University of Tokyo)
Torsion invariants and representation varieties for non-positively curved cube complexes (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Applications of torsion invariants and representation varieties have been extensively studied for 3-manifolds. Twisted Alexander polynomials are known to detect the Thurston norm and fiberedness of a 3-manifold. Ideal points of character varieties are known to detect essential surfaces in a 3-manifold in a certain extension of Culler-Shalen theory. In view of cubulation of 3-manifolds one can expect that these results naturally extend to a wider framework and, in particular, the case of virtually special cube complexes. We formulate and discuss such analogous questions for non-positively curved cube complexes.

Eric Chung (Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Staggered discontinuous Galerkin methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations (English)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we present a staggered discontinuous Galerkin method for the approximation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Our new method combines the advantages of discontinuous Galerkin methods and staggered meshes, and results in many good properties, namely local and global conservations, optimal convergence and superconvergence through the use of a local postprocessing technique. Another key feature is that our method provides a skew-symmetric discretization of the convection term, with the aim of giving a better conservation property compared with existing discretizations. We also analyze the stability and convergence of the method. In addition, we will present some numerical results to show the performance of the proposed method.

Matthew Morrow (Universität Bonn)
Motivic cohomology of formal schemes in characteristic p
(English)
[ Abstract ]
The logarithmic Hodge-Witt sheaves of Illusie, Milne, Kato, et al. of a smooth variety in characteristic p provide a concrete realisation of its p-adic motivic cohomology, thanks to results of Geisser-Levine and Bloch-Kato-Gabber which link them to algebraic K-theory. I will explain an analogous theory for formal schemes, as well as applications to algebraic cycles, such as a weak Lefschetz theorem for formal Chow groups.

Fatiha Alabau (Université de Lorraine)
Control and stabilization of degenerate wave equations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The control of degenerate PDE's arise in many applications such as cloaking, climatology, population genetics, and vision.
For such models, the diffusion operator degenerates on some subset of the spatial domain. We present some recent results on observability, control and stabilization of these equations.
This is a joint work with Piermarco Cannarsa (University di Roma Tor Vergata, Italy) and G\"unter Leugering (Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\"at Erlangen-N\"urnberg, Erlangen, Germany).

Boris Khesin (University of Toronto)
Fluids, vortex membranes, and skew-mean-curvature flows (English)
[ Abstract ]
We show that an approximation of the hydrodynamical Euler equation describes the skew-mean-curvature flow on vortex membranes in any dimension. This generalizes the classical binormal, or vortex filament, equation in 3D. We present a Hamiltonian framework for dynamics of higher-dimensional vortex filaments and vortex sheets as singular 2-forms (Green currents) with support of codimensions 2 and 1, respectively.
