Abstract

Abstract: The Wess-Zumino-Witten model is a type of two-dimensional conformal field theory, which associates to the data of a smooth (projective) complex curve C, n points in C and n irreducible representations of a fixed complex Lie algebra, a finite-dimensional vector space satisfying certain axioms. The same construction can be done for families of marked curves. In this way, we get the sheaf of conformal blocks over the moduli space of marked smooth curves. This sheaf has a geometric interpretation as the sheaf of generalized theta functions, which is the push-forward of a certain line bundle from the universal moduli stack of principal bundles (with some extra-structure) over marked smooth curves to the moduli stack of marked smooth curves. The above application to conformal field theory leads naturally to the study of the Picard group of these universal moduli stacks. In this talk, we present a complete description of the Picard group of the universal moduli stack of G-bundles over n-marked smooth k-curves of genus g, for any reductive group G over an algebraically closed field k. As a consequence, we compute the divisor class group of the associated universal moduli space of semistable G-bundles. It is a joint work with Filippo Viviani.

( MS Teams Link for the streaming )

Abstract
We introduce a parametric framework for the study of Willmore gradient flows which enables to consider a general class of weak, energy-level solutions and opens the possibility to study energy quantization and finite-time singularities. In this first work we restrict to a small-energy regime and prove that, for small-energy weak immersions, the Cauchy problem in this class admits a unique solution. Joint work with T. Rivière.

     ”Random-like properties of chaotic forcing”  
     - in  streaming  mode -  
     (see the  instructions in the abstract)  

Abstract
We prove that skew systems with a sufficiently expanding base have “approximate” statistical properties similar to random ergodic Markov chains. For example, they exhibit approximate exponential decay of correlations, meaning that the exponential rate is observed modulo a controlled error. The fiber maps are only assumed to be Lipschitz regular and to depend on the base in a way that guarantees diffusive behaviour on the vertical component. The assumptions do not imply an hyperbolic picture and one cannot rely on the spectral properties of the transfer operators involved. The approximate nature of the result is the inevitable price one pays for having so mild assumptions on the dynamics on the vertical component. The error in the approximation is shown to go to zero when the expansion of the base tends to infinity.

Note: The zoom link to the seminar will be posted on the DinAmicI website and on Mathseminars.org. Moreover, it will be also streamed live via the youtube DinAmicI channel.

"An asymptotic cellular category for G(e,e,n)"
- in streaming mode -
(see the instructions in the abstract)

Abstract
   Given a Coxeter group W, one may consider its Hecke algebra, which is a deformation of the group algebra of W. Kazhdan and Lusztig have constructed the celebrated Kazhdan-Lusztig basis, which has many interesting properties. This basis can be used to construct a partition of W into Kazhdan-Lusztig cells, a partition of the irreducible complex representations of W into families and also a partition of the "unipotent characters" of W into families. There exist categorical counterparts of these objects, and the goal of this talk is to explain a tentative towards a partial generalization for the complex reflection group G(e,e,n).
  First, I will describe the situation of a Coxeter group and then explain briefly what can be extended to (some) complex reflection groups. Finally, I will turn to an description of the asymptotic category, which is constructed from representations of quantum sln at a 2e-th root of unity, and try to justify the term "asymptotic cellular category".

Resolvent algebras and Bose-Einstein-condensation

- in streaming mode -

instructions in the abstract

Abstract
The treatment of non-relativistic interacting bosonic systems, exhibiting condensation in the limit of large particle numbers, is commonly based on studies of single particle density matrices, determined from the microscopic equilibrium states. In order to exhibit more detailed properties of these states, such as correlations between observables, one needs an algebra that is stable under the underlying dynamics and remains meaningful in the limit. In the present talk it is shown that the resolvent algebra of canonical quantum systems provides such a framework. The popular mean field, dilute gas and Gross-Pitaevskii approximations of the interactions lead to C*-dynamical systems based on the resolvent algebra. This fact implies that the limits of equilibrium states are still in equilibrium, satisfying the KMS condition. Moreover, the resolvent algebra contains all observables needed to study the condensates and their thermal background. If time permits, these results are illustrated by examples.

     Hamiltonian approach to sufficient optimality conditions  
     (MS Teams link for the streaming at the end of the abstract)  

Abstract
The celebrated Pontryagin Maximum Principle (PMP) provides a (first order) necessary condition for the optimality of trajectories of optimal control problems. In most cases, however, a trajectory satisfying PMP is not optimal. For these reasons, additional optimality conditions are required. In this context, Hamiltonian methods are quite effective in establishing sufficient optimality conditions. In this talk, after a brief review of the main ideas of the general method, we will focus on optimal control problems associated with control-affine dynamics and costs of the form
$$ int_0^T |u(t)| |varphi( X(t))| dt $$
Costs of these form are very common in problems modeling neurobiology, mechanics and fuel-consumption.

"Perverse Sheaves, Finite Dimensional Algebras and Quivers"
- in live mode: the speaker is there, and you can physically attend the talk! (up to 20 seats available) -
- in streaming mode -
(see the instructions in the abstract)

Abstract
  In this talk I will introduce the category of perverse sheaves on a topologically stratified space X and give some examples. Then, I will show that when X has finitely many strata, each with finite fundamental group, such category is equivalent to a category of modules over a finite dimensional algebra A. Finally, I will discuss some algebraic approaches one can use in order to describe the algebra A.
  This talk is based on joint work with Jon Woolf.

     Existence of hypersurfaces with prescribed-mean-curvature  
     (MS Teams link for the streaming at the end of the abstract)  

Abstract
Let N be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 3 or higher, and g a Lipschitz non-negative (or non-positive) function on N. We prove that there exists a closed hypersurface M whose mean curvature attains the values prescribed by g (joint work with Neshan Wickramasekera, Cambridge). Except possibly for a small singular set (of codimension 7 or higher), the hypersurface M is C^2 immersed and two-sided (it admits a global unit normal); the scalar mean curvature at x is g(x) with respect to a global choice of unit normal. More precisely, the immersion is a quasi-embedding, namely the only non-embedded points are caused by tangential self-intersections: around such a non-embedded point, the local structure is given by two disks, lying on one side of each other, and intersecting tangentially (as in the case of two spherical caps touching at a point). A special case of PMC (prescribed-mean-curvature) hypersurfaces is obtained when g is a constant, in which the above result gives a CMC (constant-mean-curvature) hypersurface for any prescribed value of the mean curvature. The construction of M is carried out largely by means of PDE principles: (i) a minmax for an Allen--Cahn (or Modica-Mortola) energy, involving a parameter that, when sent to 0, leads to an interface from which the desired PMC hypersurface is extracted; (ii) quasi-linear elliptic PDE and geometric-measure-theory arguments, to obtain regularity conclusions for said interface; (iii) parabolic semi-linear PDE (together with specific features of the Allen-Cahn framework), to tackle cancellation phenomena that can happen when sending to 0 the Allen-Cahn parameter.

Densities and their measurability in NCG

- online seminar - link to MS teams in the abstract

Abstract
Abstract: The aim of the talk is to provide conditions ensuring Connes' measurability of the canonical, $(1,infty)$-summable, spectral weight $ho(D)$, we associate to any self-adjoint operator $D$ with discrete spectrum and of its associated state $phi_D(T):={ m Tr,}_omega (T ho(D))$. The framework allows to discuss measurability for discrete groups with sub-exponential growth and $ heta$-summable spectral triples. Examples also include 1. the volume density of Euclidean domains of infinite volume 2. densities on the C$^*$-algebra of pseudo-differential operators of 0-order on a compact Riemannian manifold 3. densities on Toeplitz extensions.
