Başlık/Titre/Title: Exploring the frontier of mathematical reasoning with large language models
Özet/Résumé/Abstract: In mathematics, there are two distinct approaches to reasoning: informal inferences based on simple reasoning and formal derivations through step-by-step proofs. This centuries-old approach to mathematical reasoning has been revolutionized by the advent of computers and symbolic systems. Initially, symbolic systems were developed to construct proofs step-by-step based on formal derivations. Subsequently, with the advent of deep learning, particularly in the form of large language models, we were able to construct neural network-based structures that, like humans, are capable of both inductive and deductive reasoning. It is important to note that both symbolic systems and deep learning systems, in their respective ways, have their own set of successes and failures. This presentation will examine the distinctions between symbolic systems and deep learning-based systems, with a focus on the capabilities of large language models in problem solving, theorem proving, mathematical reasoning, generating new conjectures, and their performance when used with agents. Additionally, it will explore the potential for integrating language models with formal systems and the benefits of this integration.

Başlık/Titre/Title: On Domination Number of Cayley Graphs
Özet/Résumé/Abstract: A dominating set of Γ is a subset D of
V , such that every vertex not in D is adjacent to at least one member of D .
The domination number γ(Γ) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set for Γ.
An efficient dominating set of Γ is an independent subset D
of V , such that every vertex not in D is adjacent to exactly one member of D .
Observe that if D is an efficient dominating set of Γ, then D is also minimum dominating set of Γ.
There are results on the domination number and finding efficient dominating sets (if exist) on circulant graphs for certain connection sets. Here I will talk about our results on odd-regular circulant graphs and Cayley graphs on different groups by giving the exact domination number when possible or giving a meaningful bound.

Başlık/Titre/Title: How do fluids behave, numerical modelling, new fronts, and applications
Özet/Résumé/Abstract: Numerical modeling replaces the expensive laboratory experiments if not used parallel to those for developing any
technology in science and engineering. Numerical models can be used to understand the behavior of fluids that are essential to our
existence and heavily involved in cutting edge technology development. For deeper understanding of the air
-hence all aerospace industry-, blood flowing through our veins or spacecrafts traveling to Mars accurate numerical modelling of
fluids is vital. This is why technology developers have an unending need for more accurate, faster, and cheaper numerical techniques.
The principal component of any numerical model is the partial differential equation that defines the physical phenomena of interest.
A fundamental prerequisite for an accurate numerical solution is the generation of a high-quality mesh.
Nevertheless, despite continuously growing computer power, mesh generation can still be a challenging task that can easily account
for large portions of the computational time. As a possible remedy to the mesh generation challenges,
so-called cut discretization methods have gained much attention in recent years. In this talk we will first focus on the
basics of fluid modelling and then discover the new fronts and exiting applications where fluids are involved.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Seismic Wave Propagation and Representation of Seismic Sources
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: In this talk, I will first focus on deriving the wave equation for an elastic medium, followed by a discussion on its Green's function solution, which incorporates the moment tensor representation of seismic sources. The moment tensor, which is a second-rank tensor, characterizes seismic sources by using the slip direction of an earthquake and the fault's normal. Moreover, the magnitude of an earthquake is proportionally related to the norm of moment tensor. The structure of the space of moment tensor will be explained, along with the elasticity tensor which is a critical component for the moment tensor's definition.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Data-driven learning of Lie groups
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: The main purpose of this talk is to propose a newly developed stochastic Monte Carlo (MC) linear solver for some large-scale modeling problems that require special linear solvers due to the specific characteristics of these types of problems. The newly developed MC method offers an alternative to costly deterministic linear solvers, presenting advantages in computational time and complexity, including superior features such as parallelization capability.
In this presentation, we propose employing the stochastic MC method for initial value problems with time-dependent coefficients, resulting in a hybrid numerical-stochastic approach that demonstrates superior efficiency compared to corresponding numerical methods. However, this method exhibits broad applicability to diverse classes of dynamic mathematical modeling problems, particularly at large scales. Additionally, we aim to explore integrating this method into the well-known Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), thereby reducing computational complexity in computing the pseudo-inverse matrix within the iterative least square estimator (LSE) sub-method of the main ANFIS algorithm. It is known that the ANFIS method offers a powerful tool for data science analysis across various domains and applications such as predictive modeling, control systems, data fusion decision-making, and so on. Indeed, this method is a versatile tool, but its specific application depends on the data and problem at hand. In this research, we applied three classes of the newly modified ANFIS method, incorporating enhancements to their respective generating function structures. These models were utilized to forecast the daily prices of target fuel products using datasets sourced from the Thomson Reuters Eikon Refinitiv database.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Data-driven learning of Lie groups
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Learning meaningful representations via deep neural networks has been an important challenge for computer vision tasks. Auto-encoders have been among the most popular approaches as they are shown to enable so-called disentangled representations. Unfortunately, most auto-encoder-based methods are built upon no or very little inductive biases and lack a theoretical foundation. This (ongoing) work aims to provide insights into how group theory could be beneficial for learning modular representations. Given object-centric datasets, we show how to learn latent matrix Lie groups that model underlying transformations the objects undergo within an auto-encoder framework. The resulting framework learns (almost perfectly) disentangled group actions on toy datasets.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Singular foliations and Lie \(\infty\)-algebroids
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: A singular (or Hermann) foliation on a smooth manifold M can be seen as a locally finitely generated subsheaf of the sheaf of vector fields on M closed under Lie bracket.
We show that if this singular foliation admits a resolution consisting of sections of a graded vector bundle of finite type, then one can lift the Lie bracket of vector fields to a Lie
\(\infty\)-algebroid structure on this resolution. The choices entering the construction of this Lie \(\infty\)-algebroid, including the chosen underlying resolution,
are unique up to homotopy and, moreover, every other Lie \(\infty\)-algebroid inducing the same foliation or any of its sub-foliations factorizes through it in an up-to-homotopy
unique manner. We thus call it the universal Lie \(\infty\)-algebroid of the singular foliation. For a real analytic or holomorphic singular foliation, it can be chosen, locally,
to be a Lie n-algebroid for some finite n. We will show that this universal structure encodes several aspects of the geometry of the leaves of a singular foliation, and that it
allows to extend to the singular context some notions (e.g. characteristic classes) until now only defined for regular foliations.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Singularities and Rearrangement of Knots Via (Co)amoebas
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Amoebas (resp. Coamoebas) are the image of analytic subsets of the complex algebraic torus under the logarithmic map (resp. argument map) coordinate-wise. In this talk, we open a way relating deformations of class of germs of complex algebraic plane curves diffeomorphisms to rearrangement of links. Indeed, we realize any torus link as the union of the one-dimensional connected components of the set of critical values of the argument map restricted to a complex algebraic plane curve. This gives the first relationship between knot theory and coamoebas theory. Moreover, it gives an explicit description of the topology and geometry of links corresponding to singularities.

Başlık/Titre/Title: From Fourier series to asymptotics of characters : a glimpse into Lie theory
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: In 1822, the French mathematician and physicist Joseph Fourier published his seminal treatise Théorie analytique de la chaleur in which he introduced expansions of periodic functions and solved the heat equation on R. Since then,
Fourier series and Fourier transforms have been used successfully and extensively in many areas of fundamental and applied sciences. Harmonic analysis aims to generalize Fourier analysis on topological spaces on which a group acts. Group actions lay at the confluences of Mathematics and Physics, their study is the purpose of representation theory of Lie groups. I will explain the ins and outs of Lie theory, and sketch a few of its many tremendous applications. In particular, I will describe how representation theory relates objects of different nature such as orbits, characters and Dirac operators. These recent results are based on joint work with Pavle Pandži´c, David Vogan and Roger Zierau.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Algebraic Curves, Computer Algebra and Integrable Systems
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Algebraic curves have significant applications in the study of the
Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy, which is a universal integrable system that describes shallow water waves. The corresponding finite-genus solutions are expressed in terms of the Riemann theta function. The theta function degenerates as the curve becomes more singular, leading to soliton and rational solutions. These solutions, in turn, characterize the curves in the moduli space of abelian varieties, thus providing a solution to the Schottky problem. To better understand the bilateral connection, we explore various perspectives in computational algebraic geometry, including transcendental and combinatorial approaches, while also utilizing mathematical software.
Our study yields new results and insights, along with future directions
for research in this field.

Başlık/Titre/Title: On the Casas–Alvero conjecture
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Let \(k\) be a field, \(d\) a strictly positive integer and
\(x\) an independent variable. Let \(f \in k[x]\)
be a monic polynomial of degree \(d\). For \(i \in \{1, \dots , d - 1 \}\),
let \(f^{(i)}\) denote the \(i\)-th derivative of \(f\)
(the \(i\)-th Hasse derivative in case char \(k > 0\)).
Assume that for all \(i \in \{1, \dots , d - 1 \}\) the polynomial \(f^{(i)}\)
has a non-trivial common factor with \(f\).
The Casas–Alvero conjecture asserts that, assuming char \(k = 0\), there exists \(a \in k\)
such that \(f(x) = (x - a)^d\).
If char\((k) = p > 0\), the conjecture is false in general. Let us write \(\text{CA}_{d,p}\)
for the statement "The Casas-Alvero conjecture holds for polynomials of degree \(d\) over fields of characteristic \(p\)".
The following equivalences are known for each \(d\):
\(\text{CA}_{d,0}\) holds \(\iff \text{CA}_{d,p}\)holds for some prime number
\(p \iff \text{CA}_{d,p}\) holds for all but finitely many primes \(p\).
A prime number \(p\) is said to be a bad prime for \(d\) if \(\text{CA}_{d,p}\) is false.
In this talk we will discuss an approach to the conjecture that consists in first proving it for some small degree \(d\),
compiling lists of bad and good primes for that \(d\) and then deducing the conjecture for all the degrees of the form \(dp^l\),
where \(l\) is a positive integer and \(d\) a good prime for \(d\).
At the end of the talk we will mention a recent result (joint with D. Schaub) that gives a long (but not exhaustive) list of good primes for each \(d\).

Başlık/Titre/Title: A theoretical and computational framework for upscaling epithelial subcellular dynamics to tissue mechanics
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Recent observations across various species have revealed a rich phenomenology of epithelial mechanics arising
from the active-viscoelasticity and turnover of the actomyosin cortex. However, a link between the subcellular cortical dynamics and
the tissue scale response has been lacking in theoretical models of epithelia. For instance, in classical vertex models,
a phenomenologically motivated work function governing the vertex dynamics (Alt et al, Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond., B, Biol. Sci., 2017)
often lacks a direct connection to the microscopic subcellular physics. In this talk, I will present a new formalism,
coined active-gel tissue model (AGTM), which bridges the active-gel models of the actomyosin cortex taking into account
the active contractility of the cortex, the viscoelastic relaxation due network remodelling and the turnover of its constituents,
with vertex-like models at a tissue scale. By solving the active gel on each of the curved faces of a 3D tissue,
we show that this unified framework systematically links subcellular cortical dynamics with tissue mechanics,
and ties to a common subcellular origin a number of seemingly disconnected dynamical tissue behaviours such as stress relaxation
following step-strain manoeuvres (Casares et al., Nat. Mat. 2015, Khalilgharibi et al, Nat. Phys., 2019), buckling and transient
buckling upon compression (Wyatt et al, Nat. Mat., 2020), pulsatile contractions during Drosophila dorsal closure (Solon et al, Cell, 2009),
spontaneous curling (Fouchard et al, PNAS, 2020) and active superelasticity (Latorre et al, Nature, 2018). This framework is compatible with
more elaborate dynamical models of the cytoskeleton, of adhesion complexes and their interaction, and thus serves as a general background for
combining more complex multi-species models accounting for regulatory networks and junctional rearrangements, potentially providing a mechanistic
understanding of active non-linear response of tissues with cell level resolution.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Indices of vector fields for mixed singularities
Özet/Résumé/Abstract: A mixed function is a real analytic function \(f\colon\mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{C}\)
in the complex variables \(z_1,\dots,z_n\) and their conjugates \(\bar{z}_1,\dots,\bar{z}_n\). In this talk
we define an integer valued index for vector fields \(v\) with isolated singularity at \(\mathbf{0}\) on real
analytic varieties \(V_f:=f^{-1}(0)\) defined by mixed functions \(f\) with isolated critical point at \(\mathbf{0}\).
We call this index the mixed GSV-index and it generalizes the classical GSV-index defined by Gomez-Mont, Seade and Verjovsky, i.e.,
if the function \(f\) is holomorphic, then the mixed GSV-index coincides with the GSV-index. Furthermore,
the mixed GSV-index is a lifting to \(\mathbb{Z}\) of the \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-valued real GSV-index defined by Aguilar,
Seade and Verjovsky. As applications we prove that the mixed GSV-index is equal to the Poincar\'e-Hopf index of \(v\) on a Milnor fiber.
If \(f\) also satisfies the strong Milnor condition, i.~e., for every \(\epsilon>0\) (small enough) the map
\(\frac{f}{\|f\|}\colon \mathbb{S}_\epsilon \setminus L_f \to \mathbb{S}^1\) is a fiber bundle, we prove that
the mixed GSV-index is equal to the curvatura integra of \(f\) defined by Cisneros-Molina, Grulha and Seade based on the curvatura integra defined by Kervaire.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Polynomial Real Root Certification using Hermite Matrices over Q
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Polynomial systems can be solved reliably using numerical homotopy
methods. These methods return numerical approximations to solutions, and all the implementations
validate the solutions heuristically. Therefore, the output, the approximate solutions of
polynomial systems are not certified. Even though the approximate solutions work well in
practice, they cannot be used in critical applications, especially in pure mathematics or when
high precision is needed (e.g. Surgical Robot arm applications).
Let I be a zero dimensional and radical ideal generated by m polynomials with exact rational
coefficients. Assume that we are given approximations for the common exact roots.
In this talk, we show how to construct and certify the rational entries of Hermite matrices for
I from the approximate roots. Furthermore, we represent a method to certify the real roots of
the given polynomial system using the signature of Hermite matrices.

Başlık/Titre/Title: On a special family cyclic codes and their applications
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Coding theory is a field that allows us to construct methods to transfer
and store data in a way that can detect
and correct corruptions that may occur during the transmission process. Algebraic coding theory
uses algebraic structures to construct
these methods. Cyclic codes, which are very useful due to their algebraic properties, have a
central importance in algebraic coding theory.
m-adic residue codes are a type of codes that generates cyclic codes with the help of residue
classes. After briefly talking about
algebraic coding theory, I will describe cyclic codes and m-adic residue codes. Then, after
briefly summarizing the DNA codes, I will
explain the relationship between m-adic residue codes and these codes. Finally, I will talk
about quantum codes and explain their
relationship with m-adic residue codes.

Derivative.
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: In this study, nonlocal vibration analyzes of 3-D plates modeled are
performed with the help of
fractional mechanics. The Riesz-Caputo fractional derivative is used to define nonlocality
without using kernel functions. The frequency spectrum and mode shapes of the plates are
investigated for different fractional derivative orders ($\alpha$) and different length scale
parameters (l). The main contributions
of these studies are that the nonlocal approach considering fractional analysis give results
closer to the experimental
results than the classical theory.

products of symmetric groups of order two. In our

restriction on representations of this
tower of groups, which embed into each other. Even though we didn't get a full description of
the relevant category, we have partial

Başlık/Titre/Title: Isolated points on Modular Curves
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: One of the oldest areas of mathematics is the study of integer or
rational solutions to polynomial equations with integer coefficients and it remains active till
today.
The most natural question we can ask about such an equation is whether its set of rational
solutions is finite or infinite. This can be determined by the genus of the
curve defined by such equations. In particular, if the genus is greater than one, there are
finitely many rational points on a curve.
What happens when one allows for solutions involving square-roots of integers or cubic
roots? Perhaps in general all complex numbers that are
roots of a degree d polynomial? We call such solutions of degree 2,3 or d in general.
In this talk, we will discuss when a curve has infinitely many degree d points focusing
particularly on points on modular curves

Başlık/Titre/Title: Characterizing Abelian differentials and pseudo-Anosov maps as permutations
of integers (You can find the slides of the talk
here)
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Thurston's theory of homeomorphisms from a compact surface of genus
greater than one to itself, classifies such maps (and their mapping
classes) into three types: periodic, pseudo-Anosov, or reducible - where the surface decomposes
into pieces on which the restrictions of the map are
either periodic or pseudo-Anosov. The pseudo-Anosov case is thus of great interest in studying
these maps. In this case, an integrable quadratic
holomorphic differential exists on the surface w.r.t. a Riemann surface structure. When the
foliations of the quadratic differential are orientable, namely
when there is an Abelian differential preserved by the map, we will characterize the structure
of the surface and the pseudo-Anosov map in terms of a
permutation of integers.

Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: We prove a conjecture of Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko that says that rank
polynomials of the distributive lattices of lower ideals of fence
posets are unimodal. We do this by introducing a related class of circular fence posets and
proving a stronger version of the conjecture due to
McConville, Sagan and Smyth. We show that the rank polynomials of circular fence posets are
symmetric and conjecture that unimodality holds
except in some particular cases. We also apply the recent work of Elizalde, Plante, Roby and
Sagan on rowmotion on fences and show many of their
homomesy results hold for the circular case as well (joint work with Mohan Ravichandran).

Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: We all know about computer algebra packages like Maple or Matlab, which
can be used to do calculations. But there are
other computer programs called things like Coq or Lean or Isabelle/HOL, which can be used to
check or generate mathematical
proofs. Such systems have existed for decades but it is only recently that the research
mathematical community have begun to take
them seriously. I will give an overview of what has been happening over the last few years, and
also why I think it might begin to
matter to our community. I don't think that computers will be automatically proving the Riemann
Hypothesis any time soon, but I do
think that maybe they will soon be able to help us with our research, in areas where Maple and
Matlab are no use. I will assume the
audience has a basic mathematical background but I will not assume any knowledge of computers or
computer proof systems.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Solving Fermat Type Equations Via Modular Approach
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: The asymptotic Fermat conjecture(AFC) states that for a
number field K and for sufficiently large primes, the equation x^p+y^p+z^p=0 has only trivial
solutions.
The strategy which is referred as the "modular method" to solve the Fermat equation, used by
Wiles in his famous
proof, can be adapted to attack AFC and its several different generalizations. Similar results
are quite rare for
other Fermat type equations such as x^p+y^q=z^r although the solutions of this equation have
been studied over
rationals. In this talk, I will mention some recent asymptotic results for the classical Fermat
equation
as well as some other Fermat type equations over number fields.

Özet/Résumé/ Abstract: Conze-Lesigne systems are abelian measure-preserving dynamical systems
which are
isomorphic to their second Host-Kra-Ziegler factors. These factors (and their versions of higher
order) are
relevant ​in multiple recurrence and related topics in additive combinatorics
(e.g. Szemeredi's theorem).
In this talk, we present a structure theorem for Conze-Lesigne systems for actions of an
arbitrary countable discrete abelian group, describing such systems as an inverse limit of
translational systems G/L, where G is a locally compact nilpotent group of nilpotency class 2
and L is a lattice in G. Such structure theorems were previously known in the important special
cases of finitely generated abelian groups by work of Conze and Lesigne and direct sums of
finite fields by work of Bergelson, Tao, and Ziegler. We will review some of this literature by
way of illustrating examples. If time permits, we present an application of our structure
theorem to give a qualitative proof of the inverse theorem for the Gowers U^3-uniformity norm of
an arbitrary finite abelian group via a correspondence principle. This talk is based on work
jointly with Shalom and Tao. I will introduce and motivate the topic to a general mathematical
audience in the first half of my talk.

Başlık/Titre/Title: The Principles of Topofold: designed modular biomolecular folds
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
Biopolymers are able to form many complex nanostructures. Nature
uses folded proteins as carriers of functional properties or interactions
with other biopolymers. Bacause of complex interplay of interactions it
is very hard to predict the tertiary structure from the primary structure.
Designing completely new protein fold is even more challenging. In this
talk, we overview a self-assembly strategy for single-chain polypeptide
tetrahedron assembled from coiled-coil segments.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Complex Symplectomorphisms, Kahler Geodesics and Representation Theory.
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
The geodesics for the Mabuchi metric on the space H of Kahler metrics on a compact
symplectic manifold M correspond to solutions of a homogeneous complex Monge-Ampere (HCMA)
equation. The space H is an infinite dimensional analogue of the symmetric spaces of
noncompact type G_C/G for compact Lie groups G. In H the role of G is being played by the
group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms.
I will describe a method for reducing the relevant Cauchy problem for the HCMA eq with
analytic initial data to finding a related Hamiltonian flow followed by a
"complexification".
For Hamiltonian G-spaces, with G-invariant Kahler structure, the geodesic corresponding to
the norm square of the moment map or its Hamiltonian flow in imaginary time (= gradient flow
for the changing metric following the geodesic) leads to the convergence of the holomorphic
sections to sections supported on Bohr-Sommerfeld leaves.
For M=T*G, starting from the vertical or Schrodinger polarization, one obtains the
Segal-Bargman-Hall coherent state transform.

Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
Les presques anneaux trouvent leur origine dans
les travaux de Faltings sur la théorie p-adique
de Hodge, où ils fournissent un outil clé pour
le preuve de son théorème de presque pureté, qui
à son tour est une profonde généralisation d'une
observation remontant à l'rticle fondateur de
Tate sur les groupes p-divisibles.
Plus recemment, les presques anneaux sont devenus
le socle sur lequel Scholze a bati sa théorie
des anneaux et espaces perfectoides, l'une des
plus spectaculaires trouvailles de la géométrie
arithmétique des dernières années.
Dans mon exposé j'introduirai les presques anneaux

Başlık/Titre/Title: Structure de l'arbre à l'infini d'un polynôme à deux variables. (travail
commun avec Daniel Daigle, Université de Ottawa)
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
Il s'agit de classifier les polynômes à l'aide de la structure de leur arbre à l'infini.
Après avoir rappelé la notion d'arbre àl'infini d'un polynôme àdeux variables, nous
introduisons des structures simples dans cet arbre, que nous appelons des peignes. Le
résultat principal que nous énonçons est le fait que le nombre de peignes est inférieur ou
égal à 1+2g, où g est le genre de la courbe générique. Dans le cas des polynômes rationnels,
à l'origine de cette étude, on obtient un arbre qui consiste en un seul peigne. A la fin de
l'exposé, nous étudions le cas où il existe des dicritiques de degré 1 et nous retrouvons
les arbres des polynômes rationnels simples.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Convolutional, Recurrent and Deep Neural Networks
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
Deep Neural Networks are artificial neural networks with a specific topology belonging to a
family of such topologies. Use of many layers with gradually decreasing number of neurons,
and use of some specialized prediction and training methods are characteristic of DNNs.
Prominent differences between regular ANNs and DNNs consist of highly increased use of
layers in specific arrangements, use of specific nonlinear (i.e. ReLU), convolutional or
lossy maps to link these layers, and use of specific algorithms (i.e. regularization) to
prevent otherwise unexpected problems (i.e. vanishing/exploding gradients) during training.
For feature extraction and transformation, each layer uses the output from the previous
layer as input in order to learn multiple levels of representations that correspond to
different levels of abstraction which forms a hierarchy of concepts. Each layer learns to
transform its input data into a slightly more abstract and composite representation; deep
learning helps to disentangle these abstractions and pick out which features improve
performance. Deep learning architectures are often constructed with a greedy layer-by-layer
method.
Deep learning models are vaguely inspired by information processing and communication
patterns in biological nervous systems, but they have too many structural and functional
differences from biological brains, which make them incompatible with neuroscience
evidences. (latter is a separate field called biologically plausible Spiking Neural
Networks)
The "deep" in "deep learning" refers to the number of layers through which the data is
transformed. Deep learning systems have a substantial credit assignment path (CAP) depth.
The CAP is the chain of transformations from input to output; hence it describes potential
causal connections between input and output. For feedforward NNs, the depth of the CAP is
that of the network; for recurrent NNs a signal may propagate through a layer multiple
times, thus CAP depth is potentially unlimited.
DNNs are interpreted in terms of the universal approximation theorem and probabilistic
inference:
For DNNs the universal approximation theorem concerns with information holding the capacity
of bounded width, unbounded depth networks. It's been proven that a DNN satisfying some
lower bound constraint on layer width can approximate any Lebesgue integrable function. (Lu,
Z. et al., 2017 The Expressive Power of Neural Networks)
The probabilistic interpretation features inference and optimization concepts; it considers
the activation nonlinearity as a cumulative distribution function. This interpretation led
to the introduction of dropout as regularizer in NNs.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Toric embedded resolutions of simple singularities via jet schemes.
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
(Joint work with H. Mourtada)
Abstract: One of the aim of Nash’ paper on the arcs spaces (1968) was to understand res-
olutions of singularities via the arcs living on the singular variety; in particular he
wanted to give a one to one correspondence between families of arcs and es- sential
exceptionnal divisors. J.Fernandez de Bobadilla and M.Pe Pereira (2011) have shown that such
a bijective correspondence for abstract resolutions of singular surfaces. But the proof does
not give a constructive way to get the resolution from the arcs space. With H.Mourtada, we
construct an embedded toric resolution of simple singularities from their jets schemes. It
is the result I will discuss in the talk.

Başlık/Titre/Title: How long can a curve capture a sequence?
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
In this talk we consider a number-theoretic question that interrelates two group
structures. An arithmetic progression sequence on rational numbers carries a pattern
that can be imitated in the universe of algebraic planar curves. We start with introducing
algebraic curves, with due attention to elliptic curves, then we discuss some of the aspects
of the arithmetic on these curves. We dene what we mean by an arithmetic progression
sequence within the globe of algebraic planar curves. We then display some of the old
and recent developments in the theory. Specically, we discuss the possibilities for the
length of these progression sequences. Finally, we present some open questions that
currently intrigue researchers.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Almost-commuting varieties with a flag,
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
In the construction of Hamiltonian reductions in symplectic geometry, interesting and rich
connections to Hilbert schemes, Calogero-Moser spaces, and rational spherical Cherednik
algebras have emerged over the last two decades. A Borel analogue of the classical general
linear group construction (realized after a reduction from the cotangent bundle of enhanced
Grothendieck-Springer resolutions) potentially opens doors for its connections to
isospectral Hilbert schemes, flag Hilbert schemes, and other algebraic varieties, that are
important to geometric representation theory, algebraic combinatorics, and quantum topology.
Our construction can also be realized by certain quiver flag varieties, appearing in the
geometric interplay in quiver Hecke algebras that categorify quantum groups.
I will discuss a Borel analogue of the cotangent bundle of the extended general linear Lie
algebra, discussing the complete intersection of the zero fiber of a moment map (as
conjectured by Thomas Nevins), an enumeration of the irreducible components, and a Borel
analog of an almost-commuting scheme appearing in the study of Calogero-Moser systems. No
background is necessary and I will give plenty of examples throughout my talk.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Regarding a weak inverse Galois problem
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
In the works of E. Fried and J. Kollár in 1978 and of M. Fried in 1980, it has been shown
that any finite group is the automorphisms group of a finite extension of the field of the
rational numbers. This is a positive answer to a weak form of the traditional Inverse Galois
Problem of Galois theory, which ask if, whether or not, every finite group G appears as the
Galois group of a Galois extension of Q. Since the work of Fried- Kollár/Fried, several
advances have been made on this weak form. The most recent is from 2017 and is due to E.
Paran and F. Legrand who show that this weak form is actually true on any Hilbertian field.
In a recent work with François Legrand, we explain how to provide examples on non-Hilbertian
fields. In particular, we show that for any finite group G there exists a field k on which
the weak form of the Inverse Galois Problem is true but such that G is not Galois over k.
This result thus shows the gap that exists between the Inverse Galois Problem and its weak
form.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Realizability of vector bundles by normal bundles of manifolds
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
Given a Poincaré complex $X$, we say a bundle $\xi$ over $X$ is realized by the
normal bundle of a manifold $M$, if $\xi$ is pulled back from the normal bundle of $M$ along
a
homotopy equivalence $X\rightarrow M$. The problem of determining such bundles over an
arbitrary Poincaré complex is a difficult problem and is related to classical problems of
surgery theory. In this talk, we will discuss some methods of approaching to this problem
and talk about solutions for certain cases of $X$. In particular, we will discuss conditions
on bundles over $X$ that guarantee they are realized by normal bundles of manifolds, for $X$
belonging to a certain class of homology spheres.

Başlık/Titre/Title: Categorification and Heisenberg algebras
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
Categorification is a recent philosophy that aims to enrich current set-based theories by
introducing a new layer of morphisms, hence obtaining a category based theory. A classical
example is homology theories that recover Euler characteristic through their dimensions, but
offer more since one can talk about morphisms between homology groups now. After an
introduction to categorification, we will see how this idea was applied to a Heisenberg
algebra, through its connection to representation theory of the symmetric group .

Başlık/Titre/Title: A Queer Crystal Structure on Shifted Tableaux
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
Crystal bases were introduced by Kashiwara in his study of the representation
theory of quantized universal enveloping algebras. A crystal graph is a directed, colored
graph with vertex set given by the crystal basis and directed edges given by deformations of
the Chevalley generators and that encodes information about the corresponding
representations and their tensor product. In this joint project with Assaf, we define
explicit
operators on semistandard shifted tableaux and use Stembridge's characterizationto show that
these operators have a crystal structure, giving a new proof that Schur P-polynomials are
Schur positive. We then add queer crystal operators (odd Kashiwara operators) that give the
semistandard shifted tableaux of a given shape the structure of a connected queer crystal.
We
also give axioms for queer regular graphs parallel to Stembridge axioms for type A crystals
that give a partial local characterization of queer crystals.

Başlık/Titre/Title: On an algebraic definition of the Boy surface
Özet/Résumé/ Abstract
In 1984, I was able to obtain a parametrization of the Boy surface by eliminating the
Whitney umbrellas of the Steiner surface using the so-called hyperbolic confluence of pairs
of singularities. As a result, the Boy surface appears to be a real algebraic surface of
degree six. However, the construction was a mix of geometry, differential topology and
singularity theory. In this talk I want to investigate the question in the complex algebraic
geometry field. We intend to characterize the Boy surface as an complex algebraic surface
subjected to natural conditions.

Titre/Başlık: Fields with Virtually Free Group Action
Abstract/ Özet:
This is joint work with Piotr Kowalski. A G-field is a field, together with an action of a
group G by field automorphisms.
Our purpose is to give an axiomatization of the theory of "generic", i.e. existentially
closed G-fields. If such axiomatization for
the class of existentially closed G-fields exists, we call the resulting theory G-TCF. If G
is the trivial group then G-TCF is the theory
of algebraically closed fields, ACF. If G is the group of integers, then G-TCF exists and
its theory is very well studied ACFA, the theory
of algebraically closed fields with a generic automorphism. It is also known that G-TCF
exist if G is finite, and G is a finitely generated free group.
A natural generalization of finite groups and free groups is the class of virtually free
groups. Our main theorem says that, when G is a finitely generated
virtually free group, then G-TCF exists. We also give field theoretic propertied of
G-fields.

suggested that the Garden of Eden theorem could be extended to a suitable
class of hyperbolic dynamical systems. In this talk, I will discuss the classical Garden of
Eden theorem as well as some recent results in the direction indicated by Gromov.

Titre/Başlık: Stable equivalence of Morita type and Scott modules
Abstract/ Özet:
Let G be a finite group, p a prime number and k an algebraically closed field of
characteristic p. Modular representation theory of
finite groups aims to understand the blocks of kG which are the indecomposable two-sided
ideals of the group algebra kG. To achieve this
aim many categorical equivalences between module categories of the block algebras are
introduced.Among these, we are concerned with the
stable equivalence of Morita type. In this talk after a brief introduction to the subject,
the role of Scott modules in this picture will be discussed.
Then a recent result with a joint work with S. Koshitani among these lines will be
presented.

Titre/Başlık: Finite free probability
Abstract/ Özet:
Free probability, introduced by Voiculescu in the early 1980's is a general method to study
asymptotic statistics of random matrices.
It also provides a parallel theory of probability with the notion of independence replaced
by so called 'freeness'. Research over the the last
three decades has shown the existence of 'free' analogues of results ranging from central
limit theorems to the existence of Brownian motion to De Finetti type
theorems in free probability. Freeness however does not exist in finite dimensions and as
such free probability is inherently qualitative in the results it yields
for random matrices.In 2015, Adam Marcus proposed a theory called 'finite free probability'
that seems capable of providing non-asymptotic results.
There are several questions that are wide open in this new setting and I will mention some
current work of mine that seems to clarify at least one of them.

the geometric mechanics will be presented.
Accordingly, some basic notions of the theory namely, Lie groups, Lie algebras, Poisson
manifolds, and Hamiltonian systems will be summarized.
Several examples will be provided.
In the second part, we shall address the problem of determining the matched equations of
motion of two interacting systems (whose configuration spaces are Lie groups)
governing the coupled system starting with the individual equations of motions in
Hamiltonian form. The configuration spaces of the systems being Lie groups is imperative
here
in order to define the mutual actions. We shall present the theory of matched dynamics and
particularly write the matched Lie-Poisson equations.
It will be shown that the theory of matched dynamics is a generalization of the

Titre/ Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry on a Leavitt Path Algebra of Polynomial Growth
Abstract/ Özet:
Algebraic Geometry classically studies the geometry of sets given as the solutions to
polynomial equations via the commutative algebra of "regular" functions on this set.
According to the Gelfand-Grothendieck philosophy a commutative ring should be thought of as
a ring of functions: Complex valued continuous functions for (locally) compact
Hausdorff topological spaces (Gelfand-Naimark duality) where the points of the space
correspond to maximal ideals; polynomial functions for affine varieties where we need all
prime ideals (with the Zariski topology) to keep functoriality.
In Connes's noncommutative geometry noncommutative rings are also regarded as rings of
functions.
Now there are several candidates for the "points": maximal ideals, primitive ideals and
simple modules (these are equivalent when the ring is commutative).
The general consensus is that there are never enough points (for instance to recover the
original ring).
Leavitt Path Algebras are constructed from the geometric data of a di(rected )graph G. A
theorem of Alahmadi, Alsulami, Jain and Zelmanov says that they have polynomial growth if
and only if the cycles of G are mutually disjoint.
In this case there seem to be enough points (at least for algebraic quantum spheres) after
some tweaking of the spectrum (= space of points).
While this is a sequel to the seminar by Ayten Koc, familiarity with that talk is not a
prerequisite. Relevant concepts will be (re)defined and graduate students are the target
audience.

Titre/ Simple Modules of Leavitt Path Algebras of
Polynomial Growth
Abstract/ Özet:
The first half of this talk will be an introduction to LPAs (Leavitt Path
Algebras), in particular their representations.
In the second half of the talk I'll
try to indicate the recent classification of the simple modules when the LPA
has polynomial growth (joint work with Murad Özaydin). The interesting class of
Leavitt path algebras of polynomial
growth (i.e. finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension) include the algebraic Toeplitz/Jacobson
algebra and algebraic quantum
spheres of every dimension.
All the relevant terminology will be dened and explained, the talk is aimed
at graduate students.

Titre/ Some Density Ramsey type results
Abstract/ Özet:
The aim of this talk is to present the density versions of the Hales–Jewett
Theorem and the Carlson–Simpson Theorem.
The Hales–Jewett Theorem is one of
the most representing results in Ramsey theory.
Its density version was first proved
by H. Furstenberg and Y. Katznelson in 1991 using Ergodic Theory.
However,
since then, combinatorial proofs have been discovered. The Density Hales–Jewett
Theorem has as a consequence
Szem ́eredi’s Theorem on arithmetic progressions as
well as its multidimensional version.
The Density Carlson–Simpson Theorem is an
extension of the Density Hales–Jewett Theorem and concerns the space of the left
variable words.

Abstract/ Özet:
Contrary to popular belief, linear dynamical systems can be chaotic.
However, in order to find a chaotic linear map, one needs to work on
infinite-dimensional metric spaces.
We will make an introduction to Linear Dynamics,
which is a new and active branch of Functional Analysis.
We will also talk about a recent result of Rebecca Sanders and myself
about dense manifolds of disjoint hypercyclic operators.

Titre/ Başlık:Polyhedral Omega: A new linear Diophantine system solver
Abstract/ Özet: Polyhedral Omega is a new algorithm for solving linear
Diophantine systems (LDS), i.e., for computing a multivariate rational function
representation of the set of all non-negative integer solutions to a system of
linear equations and inequalities. Polyhedral Omega combines methods from partition
analysis with methods from polyhedral geometry. In particular, we combine MacMahon's
iterative approach based on the Omega operator and explicit formulas for its evaluation
with geometric tools such as Brion decomposition and Barvinok's short rational function
representations. In this way, we connect two branches of research that have so far
remained separate, unified by the concept of symbolic cones which we introduce.
The resulting LDS solver Polyhedral Omega is significantly faster than previous
solvers based on partition analysis and it is competitive with state-of-the-art
LDS solvers based on geometric methods. Most importantly, this synthesis of
ideas makes Polyhedral Omega by far the simplest algorithm for solving linear
Diophantine systems available to date. This is joint work with Felix Breuer.

Titre/ Başlık: On the topology of real analytic maps
Abstract/ Özet: In this talk we describe a fibration theorem for real analytic
maps $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^p$
with arbitrary singularities. Now suppose that $f$ satisfies Thom's property with respect
to a Whitney stratification and let $g:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^k$ be another real
analytic map with isolated singularity at the origin in the stratified sense.
We give a Le-Greuel type formula which
relates the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of the fibres of $f$ and $(f,g)$.
When $f$ and $(f,g)$ are isolated complete intersections we construct an integer valued
invariant called the curvatura integra which gives the Euler characteristic of the fibres.

and S =< a1, . . . , a4 > be the numerical semigroup generated by a1, . . . , a4.

to appear in every system of binomial generators of the toric ideal; these special

Titre/ başlık: Some Problems and A Possible Conjecture On Half-Integral Weight Modular Forms
Résumé/Özet: By the celebrated work of G. Shimura, our knowledge on modular forms of
half-integral weight has started to grow. Like in the case of integral weight, they also have
arithmetic significance, so both have attracted attention for many years. Recently, one of the
breakthrough and very significant results in pure mathematics is the proof of the Sato-Tate
conjecture for non-CM modular eigenforms of integral weight (even for Hilbert eigenforms) by
Taylor, Barnet-Lamb, Geraghty and Harris. A special case of the Sato-Tate theorem states that
signs of coefficients of integral weight Hecke eigenforms are equidistributed. That such should
also be the case for half-integral weight forms was conjectured by Kohnen and Bruinier. In this
talk, we will discuss the motivation behind this question and explain how the Shimura lift and
the Sato-Tate theorem can be exploited to obtain sign equidistribution for certain subsets of
the coefficients of half-integral weight eigenforms. Finally, we are interested in the following
question: Is it possible state a conjecture like Sato-Tate in the case of half-integral weight
modular forms where the question is much more complicated. We will conclude with reporting
recent developments on this problem.

Titre/ başlık: Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems with Specified Eigenvalues
Résumé/Özet: Nonlinear eigenvalue problems have drawn substantial interest
in the last two decades in numerical analysis. An important
concept regarding them is the backward error, that is how much
one has to perturb them so that a specified scalar
becomes an eigenvalue. Here we consider the following more
general question: given an analytic matrix-valued function,
where is a nearest one possessing a set of prescribed eigenvalues
located? We derive a singular value optimization characterization
for such nearest matrix-valued functions with respect to the
operator norm induced by the l2 norm. Our derivation benefits from the root
canonical form for a nonlinear eigenvalue problem (generalization of the
Jordan canonical from), generalized Sylvester operators, as well as
tools from complex analysis.

Titre/ başlık: Geometry of oscillating integrals and Dubrovin conjecture
Résumé/Özet: We consider the oscillating integral defined by the polynomial phase function f(x)
with non-degenerate singular points. So called « Lefschetz thimble» can be constructed for each
singular point of f(x). This integral can be regarded as Laplace transform of the fibre integral
associated to the non-singular variety f^{-1}(c). It turns out (F .Pham) that the intersection
indices of vanishing cycles of the variety f^{-1}(c) coincide with those of Lefschetz thimbles
(regarded as one dimension higher cycles in a relative homology). We show that the elements of
the Stokes matrix defined for the oscillating integral calculates exactly the intersection
indices mentioned above.
As an application we shall discuss the question on the Stokes matrix S for the quantum
cohomology of weighted projective space pour P. Namely we shall present a positive answer to the
hypothesis proposed by Boris Dubrovin who predicted that the Stokes matrix S coïncide coincides
with the Gram matrix of the exceptional collection of coherent sheaves on P. This is a
collaboration with Kazushi Ueda.

Titre/ başlık: Stable processes and bounded L^p operators
Résumé/Özet: There is a strong connection between Analysis and Probability Theory. The classical
results of Analysis can be obtained by using tools of Martingale Theory, and Brownian motion as
the underlying process. Brownian motion is a very specific L\'evy process which embraces many
``nice" properties where these properties allows one to reproduce probabilistic alternatives of
classical tools. On the other hand, it is possible to study more general L\'evy processes with
some cost.\\
In this talk, we will discuss the question that to what extent we can generalise this process
provided that the connection with Analysis is not lost. We will consider some results on bounded
linear operators on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ when the underlying process is taken to be the symmetric
stable process which shares some fundamental properties of Brownian motion. We will argue the
tools obtained by means of this more general process, and define a new class of harmonic
functions to work with. We will also provide a Harnack's Inequality for this new class of
harmonic functions.

Because a degree parameter that could be taken ''sufficiently large'' in prior constructions

effective. After reviewing this setup, I will outline a new method, joint with David Swinarski,
for analysing stability in fixed degree for very special varieties, and conclude by explaining

Abstract/Özet: In various applications of automorphic forms it becomes crucial to know the

There are amazingly open questions concerning these representations. But recently there has been
some progress. In particular, we determined all linear characters of SL(2,O) and we applied the

generate interesting family of representations of SL(2,O) which possibly contain all finite

Abstract/Özet: The Mordell-Lang Conjecture (MLC) concerns finitely generated subgroups of
abelian varieties, however, there are analogous statements in the "non-compact" case: namely the
case of the (cartesian powers of) multiplicative group, G_m. (Sometimes, MLC is formulated for
semi-abelian varieties to include this case.)
In very heuristic terms, in the multiplicative group case, MLC says "the addition doesn't give
new information about finitely generated multiplicative groups of fields." (This will be made
clear in this talk.)
We isolate the conlusion of MLC as an abstract property for subgroups of G_m. It turns out that
many groups other than finitely generated ones have this property. Moreover, some of them
satisfy a uniform version of it. Vaguely, this corresponds to the function field field case of
MLC.
In this talk, after making everything above more accurate, we prove that certain finitely
generated groups have this "uniform" Mordell-Lang Property.

Abstract/Özet: The conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) is one of the Clay Millennium
problems that links the arithmetic invariants of an elliptic curve to its analytic invariants.
Most of this talk will be devoted to explaining the contents of this conjecture and stating its
asymptotic variant. As time permits, I will sketch a proof of the asymptotic BSD for CM elliptic
curves, which relies on the Iwasawa theoretic study of the Kato-Beilinson elements and the
reciprocity law that relates them to relevant L-functions.

Abstract/Özet: In this talk, we study the local well-posedness of a periodic nonlinear equation

is based on semigroup theory for quasi-linear equations. We also show that singularities for the

Titre/ başlık: Logarithmic structures in algebraic and differential geometry
Abstract/Özet: Logarithmic structures were introduced into algebraic geometry by Kato, Fontaine,
and Illusie as a generalization of the toric embeddings studied earlier by Mumford and others.
Roughly speaking, the theory furnishes a category where the nicest object is a smooth variety
equipped with a normal crossings divisor. We will survey some applications of this machinery in
the construction and study of various moduli spaces and in the context of degeneration formulas
in Gromov-Witten and Donaldson-Thomas theory. We will also discuss a version of this theory in
differential geometry---where manifolds with corners are the nicest objects---and explain how
this is related to the algebro-geometric side of the theory.

importante dans le domaine constitue à établir si une théorie donnée est
o-minimale ou non) et présente une souplesse qui lui permet d'établir le
bon comportement de nombreux objets géométriques naturels.

Titre/ başlık: Black Box Groups
Abstract/Özet: Black box groups are introduced as an idealised setting for randomised al-
gorithms for solving permutation and matrix group problems in computational
group theory. A black box group G is a finite group whose elements are encoded
as 0-1 strings of uniform length and the group operations are performed by an
oracle ('black box'). Given strings representing g, h in G, the black box can
compute the strings representing gh, g^{-1} and decide whether g = h. In this
context, a natural task is to find a probabilistic algorithm which determines
the isomorphism type of a group within given (arbitrarily small) probability of
error. More desirable algorithms, called constructive recognition algorithms, are
the ones producing an isomorphism between a black box copy of a finite group
and its natural copy.
A simple observation on the recognition algorithms in black box group theory
is that procedures are based on checking whether some first order formulae
satisfied by the given black box group. I will focus on this observation and
discuss constructive recognition of black box groups of Lie type. Along the way,
I will explain how we define a standard Frobenius automorphism in a black
box group isomorphic to (P)SL(2, q) and construct (or interpret) of a black
box field in black box groups using only black box group operations. If time
permits, I will talk about the interpretation of inverse transpose map and graph
automorphisms, and the corresponding constructions in the black box groups of
Lie type.

Title/ başlık: Comovement between stock and bond return in Turkey.
We try to determine the relation between stock returns and changes in interest rates and
attribute this relation to one of two competing hypotheses: similarity in valuation
methods implying a negative relation and need for a portfolio reallocation implying a
positive correlation. We find a negative correlation (-0.33), hence support the first
hypothesis. However, this correlation has weakened in the period after the subprime
crisis of 2007 (-0.37 vs. -0.28). Interestingly, sharp decreases in interest rates are
associated with high positive correlations while sharp increases are associated with
high negative correlations. This reveals an asymmetry in the relation between stock and
bond returns. We also find that some sectorial indices have different sensitivities to
interest rate changes.

Resumé/özet: To a valued field one can canonically associate its residue field and value
group. It is natural to ask the following question: if two valued fields have "similar"
valued groups and "similar" residue fields how much are they similar as valued fields?
For example, (Q_p,v_p) and (F_p((t)), v_t) have the same residue field (F_p) same and
the value group (Z) and Ax-Kochen and Ershov theorem establish a "tight" similarity
between this two fields that answers a conjecture of Artin. I will discuss the analogous
situation where the valued fields in question are respectively equipped by distinguished
automorphisms.

Titre/Başlık: An extension of Schubert polynomials for connected K-theory using
algebraic cobordism.
Abstract/Özet: Given a suitably generic morphism of vector bundles over a smooth scheme
X, the Chow ring fundamental classes of the degeneracy loci can be expressed by means of
the double Schubert polynomials. This result has an exact analogue in K^0(X), the
Grothendieck ring of algebraic vector bundles over X, provided one replaces the double
Schubert polynomials with the double Grothendieck polynomials. In this talk I will
illustrate the common framework existing behind this two results and how it can be
transported to algebraic cobordism, the universal oriented cohomology theory. I will
also explain how this approach allows, in the universal case of a full flag bundle, to
extend the result to connected K-theory, a cohomology theory that dominates both CH and
K^0, leading to the definition of a family of polynomials generalizing both Schubert and
Grothendieck polynomials.

Abstract: It is well known that any permutation w in the symmetric group Sn can be
represented as the product of some finite adjacent transpositions
si = (i; i + 1) where the index i runs from 1 to n - 1.
Among all such representations the ones which uses the minimum number of generators are
called reduced representations for w. The notion of reduced words has been catching high
attention, because of their appearances in many areas that algebraic combinatorics
interferes.
In this talk, we introduce a new combinatorial object ”tower tableaux" together with the
”sliding algorithm" which appears as an important tool for studying reduced words in
many aspects.

Abstract/özet : The integrable discretizations of the problems in rigid body dynamics
are a vast undeveloped area of study. Certainly, the most famous ones are the three
integrable cases of the rotation of a heavy rigid body around a fixed point in a
homogeneous gravity field, named after Euler, Lagrange and Kowalevski. Recent studies
for the integrable discrete systems show us the conspicuous relationships in unrelated
areas of research such as numerical algorithms, discrete geometry, cellular automaton,
quantum integrable systems and algebraic geometry tools. One of these studies, Bobenko
and Suris, use Poisson construction of discretizations which gives implicit equations of
motion. In this talk, we give a very different discretization method, called Hirota type
discretization, using the bilinear transformation method and obtain explicit equations
of motion. We give Hirota discretization of the motion of a rigid body with a fixed
center of mass named Euler Top.

Title/Başlık: Cohomology of Bianchi Groups
Abstract/Özet: Bianchi groups are groups of the form SL(2,R) where R
is the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field. They arise naturally in the
study of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and of certain generalizations of the classical modular
forms (called Bianchi modular forms) for which they assume the role of the classical
modular group SL(2,Z).
In this latter sense, the study of Bianchi groups is fundamental for developing
Langlands' programme for GL(2) beyond totally real fields.
The overall goal of this talk is to give the audience an overview of some of the
fundamental problems in the arithmetic aspects of the theory of Bianchi groups. After
giving the necessary background, I will start with a discussion of the problem of
understanding the behavior of the dimensions of the cohomology of Bianchi groups and
their congruence subgroups.
Next, I will focus on the amount of the torsion that one encounters in the cohomology .
Finally, I will discuss the arithmetic significance of these torsion
classes.

sciences, etc.

important results obtained in this field. We will also use a few real-world examples to
illustrate what these results practically mean and show their scope. Finally, we will

Başlık/Title: Free Divisors and Painlevé Equations after M. Kato
Özet/Abstract: First of all, I will explain the definition of free divisors and that of
systems of uniformization equations with singularities along such hypersurfaces which
are examples of holonomic systems. These two notions are formulated by K. Saito around
1970's.
Then I restrict my attention to the case of hypersurfaces of an affine three dimensional
space.
I will show some examples of free divisors in this case and uniformization equations.
It turns out that the systems of uniformization equations are closely related with
Painlevé equation and its algebraic solutions.
Typical examples of free divisors are hypersurface defined by
the discriminant of real and complex reflection groups.
Recently M. Kato (Univ. of Ryukyus) clarified the relationship
between systems of uniformization equations with singularities along the discriminant
sets of reflection groups of rank three and algebraic solutions of Painlevé equation.
In my talk I will take a survey of free divisors, uniformization equations,
and discuss topics related with the results of M. Kato.

A complete combinatorial description of the equivariant cohomology of rationally smooth
embeddings (a subclass that includes smooth and certain singular varieties), has been

polynomial
generators for the various cohomology rings thus obtained. In this introductory talk, I

a survey of these topics and show how Newton's divided difference operators (and
Schubert calculus) could be effectively used to solve the above-mentioned problem. This

equivalence. By J. Mather's results, finite determinacy can be
characterised geometrically. An important tool for studying the
geometry of maps is the notion of multiple point spaces. The k-th
multiple point space of a finite map between topological spaces is the closure of the
set of k-tuple points having the same image under the map and distinct
components. In this talk, I shall discuss how to get algebraic criteria for finite
determinacy of map-germs of any corank from 3-space to 4-space using
multiple point spaces and demonstrate it with examples.

Başlık /Title - Asymptotics on codes and on curves over finite fields.
Özet/Abstract- The famous bound of Hasse-Weil for the number of rational points on
curves over finite fields (equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis in this context) was
shown by Ihara to be weaker as the genus of the curve grows. For a finite field with q
elements, Ihara then introduced the quantity A(q) that controls the asymptotic behaviour
of the number of rational points as the genus goes to infinity.To deal with A(q) one is
led to consider infinite towers of algebraic curves and to study their limits for the
ratios of (number of rational points) / (genus). We are going to motivate this
interesting mathematical subject by its connection to the asymptotics in Coding Theory,
which is a result due to Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink based on a construction of Goppa of linear
codes from algebraic curves over finite fields.

in the essential processes of life. On the contrary, consideration of quantum
circuits/protocols and organic molecules as software and hardware of living systems that
are co-optimized during evolution, may be useful to pass over the dfficulties raised by
biochemical complexity and to understand the physics of life.
In this talk, I will describe a quantum mechanical model of DNA replication with a
reliable qubit representation of the nucleotides. In the model: 1) molecular recognition
of a nucleotide is assumed to trigger an intrabase entanglement corresponding to a
superposition of different tautomer forms and 2) pairing of complementary nucleotides is
described by swapping intrabase entanglements with interbase entanglements. I will give
some examples of quantum circuits/protocols to be used to obtain intrabase and interbase
entanglements. Lastly, possible computational and experimental verification methods of
the model will be discussed.

Başlık/Title : Polygonal decompositions of the sphere and ball quotients
Özet/Abstract: After a short introduction to the subject, we will give classification of
sphere quadrangulations satisfying a condition of non-negative curvature, following
Thurston’s classification of sphere triangulations under the same condition. If time
permits, we will discuss some arithmetic applications of the classification, and its
relations to Picard-Terada-Deligne-Mostow theory. (joint with M.Uludag.)

Galois Theory from Galois' Perspective.
Abstract. These lectures will cover the main theorem of the Galois theory of fields
following closely the original approach of Galois. We will see how Galois theory proves
the nonexistence of a general algebraic formula for the roots of rational-coefficient
polynomials of degree 5 or more. We shall also illustrate the general theory in the
special case of cyclotomic fields and of finite fields.

A Schwarz map of Appell's F_2 whose monodoromy group is related to the reflection group
of type D_4.
Abstract. The system of differential equations for Appell's hypergeometric function
F_2(a,b,b',c,c';x,y) has four fundamental solutions. Let u_1,u_2,u_3,u_4 be such
solutions. If the monodromy group of the system is finite, the closure of the image of
the Schwarz map U(x,y)=(u_1(x,y),u_2(x,y),u_3(x,y),u_4(x,y)) is a hypersurface S of the
3-dimensional projective space {\bf P}$. Then S is defined by P(u_1,u_2,u_3,u_4)=0 for a
polynomial P(t_1,t_2,t_3,t_4). It is M. Kato (Univ. Ryukyus) who determined the
parameter a,b,b',c,c' such that the monodromy group of the system for
F_2(a,b,b',c,c';x,y) is finite. It follows from his result that such a group is the
semidirect product of an irreducible finite reflection group G of rank four by an
abelian group. In this talk, we treat the system for F_2(a,b,b',c,c';x,y) with
(a,b,b',c,c')=(1/2,1/6,-1/6,1/3,2/3. In this case, the monodromy group is the semidirect
group of G by Z/3Z, where G is the reflection group of type D_4. The polynomial
P(t_1,t_2,t_3,t_4) in this case is of degree four. There are 16 ordinary singular points
in the hypersurface S. In the rest of my talk, I explain the background of the
study.

Lipschitz stability in an inverse problem for non autonomous magnetic Schrödinger
equations.
Abstract. We consider the inverse problem of determining the time dependent magnetic
field of the Schrödinger equation in a bounded open subset of R^n, n>=1, from a
finite number of Neumann data, when the boundary measurement is taken on an appropriate
open subset of the boundary. We prove the Lispchitz stability of the magnetic potential
in the Coulomb gauge class by n times changing initial value suitably.

How similar can non-isomorphic algebraic structures be?
Abstract. In this talk (oriented to a general mathematical audience not necessarily
familiar with model theory) I will discuss the notion of elementary equivalence, one of
the basic notions of model theory, illustrating it with various algebraic examples, both
classical and more recent. In particular, some author's results on model-theoretic
properties of unitriangular groups will be discussed.

Quelques mots de théorie des modèles.
Abstract. Le but de l'exposé est de faire voir un peu de théorie des modèles. J'ai
choisi de présenter un théorème de Macintyre (de 1971) disant qu'un corps omega-stable
est soit fini, soit algébriquement clos. Après avoir dit ce qu'est une théorie, ou un
modèle, et énoncé quelques questions typiques que se posent habituellement les
logiciens, je rappelerai deux invariants des espaces topologiques compacts dénombrables
qui permettent de les classifier à homéomorphisme près, avant de donner une preuve du
théorème de Macintyre, allégée grâce à des arguments de Poizat. L'exposé devrait être
accessible à tous.

Invariants of hypergeometric groups for Calabi--Yau complete intersections in weighted
projective spaces
Abstract. Let Y be a smooth Calabi--Yau complete intersection in a weighted projective
space. We show that the space of quadratic invariants of the hypergeometric group
associated with the mirror manifold of Y in the sense of Batyrev and Borisov is
one-dimensional and spanned by the Gram matrix of a classical generator of the derived
category of coherent sheaves on Y with respect to the Euler form. This is a confirmation
of an expected consequence of the homological mirror symmetry conjecture by
Kontsevitch.

Pseudoholomorphic curves and applications
Abstract. Pseudoholomorphic curves are important objects by their role in different
subjects such as symplectic or contact geometry. I will present recent results on the
study of almost complex manifolds, concerning the (non)existence of pseudoholomorphic
curves and more generally of pseudoholomorphic maps.
