Finite element method with various types of penalty on domain/boundary (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We are concerned with several penalty methods (on domain/boundary)
combining with finite element method to solve some partial differential equations. The penalty methods are very useful and widely applied to various problems. For example, to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in moving boundary domain, the finite element method requires to construct the boundary fitted mesh at every times step, which is very time-consuming. The fictitious domain method is proposed to tackle this problem. It is to reformulate the equation to a larger fixed domain, called the fictitious domain, to which we can take a uniform mesh independent on the original moving boundary. The reformulation is based on a penalty method on do- main. Some penalty methods are proposed to approximate the boundary conditions which are not easy to handle with general FEM, such as the slip boundary condition to Stokes/Navier-Stokes equations, the unilateral boundary condition of Signorini’s type to Stokes equations, and so on. It is known that the variational crimes occurs if the finite element spaces or the implementation methods are not chosen properly for slip boundary condition. By introducing a penalty term to the normal component of velocity on slip boundary, we can solve the equations in FEM easily. For the boundary of Signorini’s type, the variational form is an inequality, to which the FEM is not easy to applied. However, we can approximate the variational inequality by a variation equation with penalty term, which can be solve by FEM directly. In above, we introduced several penalty methods with finite element approximation. In this work, we investigate the well-posedness of those penalty method, and obtain the error estimates of penalty; moreover, we consider the penalty methods combining with finite element approximation and show the error estimates.

Geometry Colloquium

Yu Kitabeppu (Kyoto University)
A finite diameter theorem on RCD spaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
I will talk about a finite diameter theorem on RCD spaces of (possibly) infinite dimension. An RCD space is a generalization of a concept of a manifold with bounded Ricci curvature. Savar¥'e proves the "self-improving property" on RCD spaces via the Gamma calculus. Because of his work and Kuwada’s duality argument, we are able to get the L^{¥infty}-contraction of heat kernels. I will show the main result by combining the contraction property and a simple lemma.

Tsutomu Kambe (University of Tokyo)
Fluid flow and electromagnetic fields, from viewpoint of theoretical physics -- Is the Navier-Stokes Equation sufficient to describe turbulence at very high Reynolds numbers? -- (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
There exists analogy between the fluid flow and electromagnetic fields with respect to their mathematical representations. This is reasonable because both are continuous physical fields having energy and momentum in space-time. In particular, fluid’s vorticity is analogous to magnetic field.

On the other hand, for simulation of atmospheric global motion on the giant computer Earth Simulator, many empirical physical parameters must be introduced in order to obtain realistic results for weather prediction, etc. This implies that the present system of equations of fluid flows may not be sufficient to describe fluid motions of large scales at very high Reynolds numbers. We consider whether the above-mentioned analogy is useful for improvement of the theory of turbulence at very high Reynolds numbers.

Transversality problems in string topology and de Rham chains (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The starting point of string topology is the work of Chas-Sullivan, which uncovered the Batalin-Vilkovisky(BV) structure on homology of the free loop space of a manifold.
It is important to define chain level structures beneath the BV structure on homology, however this problem is yet to be settled.
One of difficulties is that, to define intersection products on chain level, we have to address the transversality issue.
In this talk, we introduce a notion of "de Rham chain" to bypass this trouble, and partially realize expected chain level structures.

Entanglement spectra in topological phases and coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The entanglement spectrum (ES) has been found to provide useful probes of topological phases of matter and other exotic strongly correlated states. For the system's ground state, the ES is defined as the full eigenvalue spectrum of the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing out the degrees of freedom in part of the system. A key result observed in various topological phases and other gapped systems has been the remarkable correspondence between the ES and the edge-state spectrum. While this correspondence has been analytically proven for some topological phases, it is interesting to ask what systems show this correspondence more generally and how the ES changes when the bulk energy gap closes.

We here study the ES in two coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids (TLLs) on parallel periodic chains. In addition to having direct applications to ladder systems, this problem is closely related to the entanglement properties of two-dimensional topological phases. Based on the calculation for coupled chiral TLLs, we provide a simple physical proof for the correspondence between edge states and the ES in quantum Hall systems consistent with previous numerical and analytical studies. We also discuss violations of this correspondence in gapped and gapless phases of coupled non-chiral TLLs.

Satoshi Nawata (Theoretical Physics at NIKHEF)
Colored HOMFLY homology of knots and links (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk I will present structural properties of colored HOMFLY homology of knots and links. These rich properties of the categorification of the colored HOMFLY polynomial are obtained by using various methods: physics insights, representation theory of Lie super-algebras, double affine Hecke algebras, etc. This in turn enables computation of colored HOMFLY homology for various classes of knots and links and consequent computation of super-A-polynomial - the deformation of the classical A-polynomial. I will also explain recent results and special additional properties for colored Kauffman homology as well as the case of links. Although I will try to give a talk accessible to mathematicians, there is no proof and rigorousness in this talk.

William Thurston and foliation theory (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Between 1972 and 1976, William Thurston revolutionized foliation theory. Twenty years later, he described this period of his mathematical life in a remarkable paper « On proofs and progress in mathematics ». In this talk, I will begin by a general overview of some of Thurston's contribution to this theory. I will then describe some of the current development.

Victoria Lebed (Osaka City University, JSPS)
A bridge between knotted graphs and axiomatizations of groups (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk will be devoted to a new algebraic structure called qualgebra. From the topological viewpoint, our construction is motivated by a study of knotted 3-valent graphs via combinatorially defined coloring invariants. From the algebraic viewpoint, it gives a part of an alternative axiomatization of groups, describing the properties of the conjugation operation and its interactions with the group multiplication. Explicit examples of qualgebras and associated graph invariants will be given.

Hatem Zaag (CNRS / University of Paris Nord)
Energy methods and blow-up rate for semilinear wave equations in the superconformal case (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In a series of papers with Mohamed Ali Hamza (University of Tunis-el Manar), we consider the semilinear wave equations with power nonlinearity.

In the subconformal and the conformal case, we consider perturbations with lower order terms and modify the Lyapunov functional Antonini and Merle designed for the unperturbed case. We also find a blow-up criterion for the equation. As a consequence, we bound the Lyapunov functional. Thanks to interpolations in Sobolev spaces and a Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, we bound the solution in the self-similar variable, which gives a sharp bound on the blow-up rate.

Surprisingly, our approach works in the superconformal case (still Sobolev subcritical), leading to a new bound on the blow-up rate, which improves the bound of Killip, Stoval and Visan.
