Title: "Symmetries of manifolds"
Abstract: Riemann introduced manifolds in the mid-19th century as a mechanism for understanding n-dimensional space. Landmark achievements in mathematics since then include the classification of 2-manifolds in the early 20th century as well as the more recent (though more complicated) classification of 3-manifolds completed by Perelman. However, the story does not end with classification: there is a rich theory of symmetries of manifolds, encoded in their mapping class groups. In this talk we will explore some aspects of mapping class groups in dimensions 2 and 3, with a focus on illustrative examples.
Speaker: Tere M. Seara (UPC, Barcelona, Spain)
Title: "Arnold diffusion: an overview and recent results "
Abstract: In this talk I will talk about the phenomenon known as Arnold diffusion. Equivalently we will show the mechanism that creates big effects after applying arbitrarily small forces for a sufficiently large time. In the language of Hamiltonian Systems, we will consider small periodic in time perturbations of an integrable system. It is known that the energy is preserved in an integrable system, as well as other quantities known as actions. We will show that an arbitrarily small perturbation can create big increments in the energy (and in the actions) and we will explore the dynamic mechanism that is behind this phenomenon.

Title: "(Uni)rationality of moduli of abelian varieties "
Abstract: With one partial exception, the birational type of the moduli space of principally polarised complex abelian g-folds is now known,
and there are also results for related spaces such as Prym moduli spaces, universal families, non-principal polarisation and others.
In general such spaces are of general type for large values of the parameters (g, degree etc.) and at least uniruled for small values.
A few of the moduli spaces are known to be rational. In this talk I shall start to address questions of rationality and unirationality
for these spaces over non-closed fields, usually the field of rational numbers. Little seems to be known but I hope to give some answers
in simple cases, and to describe some consequences that follow or would follow from such results.

Title: "Sviluppi recenti sulla congettura di Lang: quozienti di domini limitati"
Abstract: La congettura di Lang (1986) caratterizza le varietà complesse proiettive (o, più generalmente, Kähler compatte) iperboliche nel senso di Kobayashi come quelle di tipo generale assieme a tutte le loro sottovarietà. Lungi dall’essere dimostrata al momento, la congettura è però nota in una serie di casi paradigmatici ancorché particolari. Ci concentreremo in particolare su una direzione della congettura, spiegando come sia possibile verificare ad esempio che un quoziente libero e compatto di un dominio limitato dello spazio affine complesso abbia tutte sottovarietà di tipo generale (lavoro in collaborazione con S. Boucksom). Tempo permettendo, descriveremo alcune variazioni sul tema, considerando tipi di quozienti più generali: non più necessariamente lisci, né compatti (lavoro in collaborazione con B. Cadorel e H. Guenancia).

Title: "Multiparameter quantum groups: a unifying approach"
Abstract: The original quantum groups - in particular, quantized universal enveloping algebras, in short QUEA's - have been introduced as depending on just one "continuous" parameter. Later on, multiparameter quantum groups - in particular, multiparameter QUEA's - have been introduced in differente ways, with the new, "discrete" parameters either affecting the coalgebra structure or the algebra structure (while leaving the dual structure unchanged). Both cases can be realized as special type deformations - namely, either by twist, or by 2-cocycle deformation - of Drinfeld's celebrated QUEA Uh(g). In this talk I will introduce a new, far-reaching family of multiparameter QUEA's that encompasses and generalizes the previous ones, while also being stable with respect to both deformation by twists and deformations by cocycles.
Taking semiclassical limits, these new multiparameter QUEA's give rise to a new family of multiparameter Lie bialgebras, that in turn is stable under both by twist and deformations by 2-cocycles (in the Lie bialgebraic sense).
This is a joint work with Gastón Andrés García - cf. arXiv:2203.11023 (2022).

Title: "Gaudin algebras, RSK and Calogero-Moser cells in type A"
Abstract: A few years ago, Bonnafé-Rouquier defined 'Calogero-Moser cells' through the representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras. These cells partition the elements of a complex reflection group G, but are currently difficult to calculate except in small rank examples. In the special case when G is a finite Coxeter group, the cells are conjectured to be the same as Kazhdan-Lusztig cells. In other words, conjecturally 'Calogero-Moser cells' generalise Kazhdan-Lusztig cell theory from Coxeter groups to complex reflection groups. I will discuss a confirmation of this conjecture for G being the symmetric group. The proof uses ideas from integrable systems (Gaudin algebras), algebraic geometry (moduli of points on genus zero curves), and combinatorics (crystals).
This is joint work with A.Brochier and N.White.

Title: "Prescribing scalar curvatures: the negative case"
Abstract: The problem of prescribing conformally the scalar curvature on a closed manifold of negative Yamabe invariant is always solvable, if the function to be prescribed is strictly negative, while sufficient and necessary conditions are known in the case that function is non positive. Still in the case of a negative Yamabe invariant, Rauzy (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 1995) showed solvability, if the function to be prescribed is not too positive, as quantified by Aubin-Bismuth (J. Funct. Anal. 1997) later on. In this talk we will review these results variationally and shed some light on the case, when Rauzy’s conditions fail. This talk is joint work with Martin Mayer.

Title: "Calcolare i numeri di Betti di $\bar{M_{0,n}}$ usando la Dualità di Koszul"
Abstract: Gli spazi dei moduli delle superfici di Riemann di genere g con n punti evidenziati $M_{g,n}$ e le loro compattificazioni sono oggetti di grande interesse sia per i geometri algebrici che per i topologi. In questo seminario ci concentreremo nel caso g=0 e vedremo come $M_{0,n}$ e la sua compattificazione di Deligne Mumford $\bar{M_{0,n}}$ siano strettamente collegati. In effetti mostreremo come la conoscenza dei numeri di Betti di uno dei due spazi permetta di calcolare i numeri di Betti dell'altro. Il motivo che sta dietro a questa interconnessione è la dualità di Koszul, di cui proverò a spiegare i concetti di base.

Title: " A C1 simplex spline basis for the Alfeld split "
Title: " A C1 simplex spline basis for the Alfeld split "
Abstract: Piecewise polynomials over triangles and tetrahedrons have applications in several branches ranging from finite element analysis, surfaces in computer aided design... The smoothness on tetrahedrons is obtained either by high degrees of polynomials or using smaller degrees when splitting the tetraehedron into smaller pieces. Here we consider the Alfeld split which generalizes the Clough-Tocher split of a triangle. Simplex splines with arbitrary knots are the natural generalization of univariate B-splines to several variables. We consider degrees d = 2s-1 and construct a partition of unity basis for the space S12s-1;s on the Alfeld split, consisting of simplex-splines. We also show a Marsden like identity for s ≤ 5.

Title: "Singular limits for a half-Laplacian Liouville type equation "
Abstract: We consider the nonlocal Liouville type equation
(-Delta)^(1/2)u = epsilon * k(x) e^u, u > 0 in I u = 0 in R I
where I is a union of d >= 2 disjoint bounded intervals, k is a smooth
bounded function with positive infimum and epsilon > 0 is a small
parameter. For any integer 1 <= m <= d, we construct a family of
solution u_epsilon which blow-up at m distinct points of I and for
which epsilon *(integral of k(x) e^u) --> 2m*pi as epsilon --> 0$.
Moreover, we show that, when d = 2 and m is suitably large, no such
construction is possible. The talk is based on a joint work with
Matteo Cozzi (Milano, Italy).

Title: "Convergence in Total Variation for nonlinear functionals of random hyperspherical harmonics "
Abstract: Random hyperspherical harmonics are Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the unit d-dimensional sphere (d ≥ 2). We study the convergence in
Total Variation distance for their nonlinear statistics in the high energy limit, i.e., for diverging sequences of Laplace eigenvalues. Our approach takes advantage of a recent
result by Bally, Caramellino and Poly (2020): combining the Central Limit Theorem in Wasserstein distance obtained by Marinucci and Rossi (2015) for Hermite-rank 2 functionals
with new results on the asymptotic behavior of their Malliavin-Sobolev norms, we are able to establish second order Gaussian fluctuations in this stronger probability metric as
soon as the functional is regular enough. Our argument requires some novel estimates on moments of products of Gegenbauer polynomials that may be of independent interest, which
we prove via the link between graph theory and diagram formulas.

Title: "High order approximations for the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process using random grids "
Abstract: We present new high order approximations schemes for the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR)
process that are obtained by using a recent technique developed by Alfonsi and Bally (2021) for the approximation of semigroups.
The idea consists in using a suitable combination of discretization schemes calculated on different random grids to increase the
order of convergence. This technique coupled with the second order scheme proposed by Alfonsi (2010) for the CIR leads to weak approximations
of order $2k$ for all $k\in\N$. Despite the singularity of the square-root volatility coefficient, we show rigorously this order of convergence
under some restrictions on the volatility parameters. We illustrate numerically the convergence of these approximations for the CIR process and
for the Heston stochastic volatility model.

Title: "Topology of univoque sets in real base expansions"
Abstract: We report on a recent joint paper with Martijn de Vries and Paola
Loreti. Given a positive integer M and a real number 1 < q ≤ M+1, an
expansion of a real number x ∈ [0,M/(q-1)] over the alphabet A =
{0,1,...,M} is a sequence (c_i) ∈ A^N such that x = Σ_{k=1}^∞ c_i
q^{-i}. Generalizing many earlier results, we investigate the
topological properties of the set Uq consisting of numbers x having a
unique expansion of this form, and the combinatorial properties of the
set U'q consisting of their corresponding expansions.

Title: "Introduction to rough paths"
Speaker: Vlad Bally (Université Gustave Eiffel, France)
Title: "Introduction to rough paths"
Abstract: Rough path theory has been initiated in the last 90's by Terry Lyons in [1]. Then, in the last 20 years it has had a tremendous development, including the "regularity structures" theory of Hairer (we will not touch to this last topic in our course). And nowadays this is still an extremely active area of research. The aim of this theory is to construct a variant of the stochastic integral which is "pathwise". Moreover one solves Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) with the usual stochastic integral replaced by the "rough integral". This gives an application defined on the space of continuous functions C([0,T]) which, under the Wiener measure, produced the solution of the SDE. We stress that the classical theory of stochastic flows (due to Kunita, Bismut, and many others) produces a "strong solution" of the SDE, which is exactly such an application. But there is a crucial progress here: in the classical case, the flow produces a solution "almost surely" with an exception set depending on the coefficients of the SDE, whereas in the rough path theory the exception set is independent of the coefficients (in some sense it is universal). Moreover, a continuity property of the application, with respect to a specific norm (the "rough path norm") is proved. Nowadays there are many text books devoted to this subject. They are more or less difficult to read because of a rather heavy technical background. The aim of this introductory course is to give an elementary and simple approach to the main ideas in this theory. But of course, this is just a first step and a deep knowledge of the theory needs to read one of these books. I strongly recommend the beautiful book [2] of Friz and Hairer (which I will more or less follow).

Title: "On some classes of nonlinear and nonlocal elliptic PDEs on R^N"
Speaker: Carlo Mercuri (Swansea University, U.K.)
Title: "On some classes of nonlinear and nonlocal elliptic PDEs on R^N"
Abstract: This is an introductory course to the language, concepts, and methods for nonlinear PDEs in unbounded domains. We will review classical approaches mainly based on the direct method of the Calculus of Variations, to study some classes of nonlinear elliptic PDEs on R^N. We will mainly consider two `toy problems': the Choquard equation, and the nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson- Slater equation. Although these equations share some features, such as non-linearity and nonlocality, they require a separate analysis. Emphasis will be given to the variational formulation of these equations, to their functional setting and relevant compactness properties. Known results will be discussed, as well as suggestions for new research projects in this area. The first part of the course will be devoted to some basic concepts of the variational approach to nonlinear analysis, based on extending Calculus to infinite dimensional Banach spaces. Some elementary tools in critical point theory will be introduced, such as the Lagrange multipliers rule and the Mountain Pass Theorem. These can help identify nontrivial solutions to PDEs, characterised in terms of 'energy levels'. Some exercises will be discussed, as a preparation to the second part of the course. Students who already know these tools can skip this part and attend directly the second part of the course. We will give a more detailed description of the program later.
