Abstract

　The stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation is used as a model of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) at positive temperature. The equation is a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with a trapping potential and an additive space-time white noise. A positive temperature effect, for example, the spontaneous vortex formation by a sudden quench in BEC (seen as a phase transition) is of great interest in physics, and the Gibbs equilibrium is the key ingredient in the analysis from the point of view in statistical physics. In this talk we will present some mathematical results on the 2D stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation, where an `inhomogeneous' renormalization is required to give a sense to the nonlinearity.

Abstract

　In the multiway cut problem, we are given an undirected graph with non-negative edge weights and a collection of $k$ terminal nodes, and the goal is to partition the node set of the graph into $k$ non-empty parts each containing exactly one terminal so that the total weight of the edges crossing the partition is minimized. For arbitrary $k$, the best-known approximation factor is 1.2965 due to Sharma and Vondrák while the best known inapproximability factor is 1.2 due to Angelidakis, Makarychev and Manurangsi. In this talk we show how to improve on the lower bound by constructing an integrality gap instance for the CKR relaxation. A technical challenge in improving the gap has been the lack of geometric tools to understand higher-dimensional simplices. We analyze the gap of the instance by viewing it as a convex combination of 2-dimensional instances and a uniform 3-dimensional instance. One of the byproducts from our proof technique is a generalization of a result on Sperner admissible labelings due to Mirzakhani and Vondrák.

Tomoki Nakanishi (Nagoya University)

Abstract

　The dilogarithm function was introduced by Euler, and the function and its variations appear in several areas of mathematics, e.g., hyperbolic geometry, algebraic K-theory, conformal field theory, integrable systems. The function is remarkable in the sense that it satisfies a great variety of functional equations, including the celebrated pentagon identity, which we call dilogarithm identities. On the other hand, cluster algebras, introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky around 2000, are a rather recently introduced combinatorial/algebraic structure originated in Lie theory. It was not originally intended, but it turns out that the dilogarithm is ``build-into'' the cluster algebra structure as the Hamiltonian. In this talk I explain how the dilogarithm identity associated with a period of mutations in a cluster algebra arises especially from Hamiltonian/Lagrangian point of view.

Abstract

　Sometimes a subset of the pairwise distances determined by a point set suffices to uniquely reconstruct all pairwise distances, and hence the configuration of the points in the $d$-dimensional space. In this case we say that the geometric graph (or framework), in which the vertices are the points and the known distances are the edges, is globally rigid. Understanding global rigidity is useful in several applications, e.g. in sensor network localization and molecular conformation. We shall give a survey on the results that lead to a partial characterization of globally rigid graphs and also illustrate the proof methods which come from different areas of mathematics.

Abstract

　An $A_n$-space is a topological space equipped with a continuous unital binary operation satisfying certain higher homotopy associativity conditions depending on $n=1, 2, \ldots, \infty$. Similarly, we can also define several versions of higher homotopy commutativities of $A_n$-spaces. Lie groups are basic examples of $A_\infty$-spaces. The speaker has been working on problems in homotopy theory of $A_n$-spaces in Lie groups.
In this talk, we will review the basics of higher homotopy associativity and commutativity and the results in Lie groups especially related to higher homotopy commutativity.

Suguru Ishikawa (RIMS, Kyoto University)

Abstract

　Symplectic field theory (SFT) is a generalization of Gromov-Witten invariant and Floer homology for contact maniflods and symplectic cobordisms between them. It was introduced by Eliashberg, Givental and Hofer around 2000, and its algebraic structure was well studied by them. However, for a long time, it was a difficult problem to construct SFT by counting pseudoholomorphic curves. Recently, I succeeded in its construction by using Kuranishi theory, a theory developed by Fukaya and Ono for the construction of Gromov-Witten inavriant and Floer homology for general symplectic manifolds. In this talk, I explain about this work. Especially, I will talk about smoothness of Kuranishi structure.

Abstract

　The nonbacktracking operator has been introduced in the 80's by Sunada and Hashimoto in the context of the Ihara zeta function on graphs. In 2013, Krzakala et al. have used this matrix for the design of an algorithm to detect communities in social networks. In recent years, this nonbacktracking matrix has been promoted as a powerful tool to analyse the interplay between geometry and spectrum of a graph. In this talk, we will introduce this matrix and give some recents results on the spectrum of random graphs or random matrices which rely on the use of the nonbacktracking matrix.

Abstract

　We discuss the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the presence of the axisymmetric linear strain, where the strain rate depends on time in a specific manner. It is known that the system admits solutions which blow up in finite time and whose profiles are in a backward self-similar form of the familiar Burgers vortices. In this talk it is shown that the existing stability theory of the Burgers vortex leads to the stability of these blow-up solutions as well. The secondar y blow-up is also observed when the strain rate is relatively weak. Joint work with Christophe Prange (Universite de Bordeaux) and Hideyuki Miura (Tokyo Institute of Technology).

David Croydon (RIMS, Kyoto University)

Abstract

　In describing properties of disordered media, physicists have long been interested in the behaviour of random walks on random graphs that arise in statistical mechanics, such as percolation clusters and various models of random trees. Random walks on random graphs are also of interest to computer scientists in studies of complex networks. In 'critical' regimes, many of the canonical models exhibit large-scale fractal behaviour, which mean it is often a challenge to describe their geometric properties, let alone the associated random walks. However, in recent years, the deep connections between electrical networks and stochastic processes have been advanced so that tackling some of the key examples of random walks on random graphs is now within reach. In this talk, I will introduce some recent work in this direction, and describe some prospects for future developments.

Bernard Leclerc (RIMS, Kyoto University & Université Caen Normandie)

Abstract

　Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group split over $R$, for instance $G = SL(n,R)$. Generalizing the classical notion of totally positive matrices, Lusztig introduced in the 1990's the subset of totally positive (resp. totally nonnegative) elements of $G$. In 1998 he extended this notion to the partial flag manifolds $G/P$, for example the Grassmannians.
　One combinatorial problem arising from this is to find optimal criteria for an element of $G$ (or $G/P$) to be totally positive (resp. totally nonnegative). In 2001, Fomin and Zelevinsky invented the notion of a cluster algebra, motivated in part by this combinatorial problem which they solved completely in the case of $G$.
　After reviewing this story, I will outline some recent progress in the case of $G/P$.

Abstract

　We report on recent progress in the field of Schubert calculus, a classical branch of enumerative geometry, due to its surprising connection to quantum integrable systems. We shall see how the latter provide many explicit combinatorial formulae (``puzzle rules'') for intersection numbers for partial flag varieties, and their generalizations (e.g. in equivariant K-theory). We shall also discuss the connection with the work of Okounkov et al on quantum integrable systems and the equivariant cohomology of Nakajima quiver varieties. This is joint work with A. Knutson (Cornell).
