A what?!

We will give a gentle introduction to gerbes and other assorted "higher structures" from topology and mathematical physics. Gerbes are a generalization of line bundles. For a line bundle, the space of sections forms a vector space, and a little extra geometric structure can make it into a Hilbert space, beloved by quantum physicists everywhere. After introducing gerbes, we will ponder the analogous construction: how do we define a "Hilbert space of sections" for a gerbe?

This expository talk is based on the work of Bunk and Szabo.

Análise, Geometria e Sistemas Dinâmicos

Sala P3.10, Pavilhão de Matemática, Instituto Superior TécnicoInstituto Superior Técnico


, IME, Universidade de São Paulo.

Resumo

This short course is an introduction to the nascent field of Fourier analysis on polytopes and cones. There is a rapidly growing number of applications of these methods, so it is appropriate to invite students, as well as professionals, to the field.

Of the many applications of these techniques, we will focus on the following, as time permits:

  1. The Fourier transform of a polytope, given its vertex description
  2. Minkowski and Siegel's theorems in the geometry of numbers
  3. Tilings and multi-tilings of Euclidean space by translations of a polytope
  4. Discrete volumes of polytopes (Ehrhart theory)
  5. The Fourier transform of a polytope, given its hyperplane description. Here we iterate the divergence theorem.

We assume familiarity with linear algebra, calculus and infinite series. Throughout, we introduce the topics gently, by giving examples and exercises.

Probabilidades em Física-Matemática

Sala P3.10, Pavilhão de Matemática, Instituto Superior TécnicoInstituto Superior Técnico


Seiichiro Kusuoka, Kyoto University.

Resumo

In this talk we consider the polymer measure with selfinteractions, which is called the Edward model. The two-dimensional case had been studied around 2000, and the polymer measure and the associated Dirichlet form were constructed. Here, we consider the three-dimensional case, which requires harder calculation than the two-dimensional case. It is known that, to construct the measure we need the renormalization, because of the singularity of the interactions. Moreover, the renormalization constant coincides with that of the $\Phi ^4$-quantum field measure. In this talk, I will explain the strategies to construct the measure and the Dirichlet form.

This talk is based on jointworks with Sergio Albeverio, Makoto Nakashima and Song Liang.

Lisbon WADE — Webinar em Análise e Equações Diferenciais

Sala 6.2.33, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa


, CEMS.UL / CMAFcIO.

Resumo

In this talk, we investigate the regularity properties of solutions to a class of fully nonlinear nonlocal equations, both elliptic and degenerate. For the elliptic case, we establish optimal regularity results for equations with a right-hand side in $L^p$, where the regularity space depends on the value of $p$. In the degenerate case, we prove the existence of at least one viscosity solution belonging to the class $C_{loc}^{1, \alpha}$ for some constant $\alpha \in (0,1)$. Additionally, when the order of the operator is sufficiently close to 2, we derive regularity estimates in Hölder spaces for the gradient of any viscosity solution.

Resumo

A lack of coordinates makes dierentiating vector elds on manifolds depending on a choice of connection. We discuss how most connection introduce curvature and experience it rst hand. We discuss how curvature leads to holonomy. For Riemannian manifolds we introduce the classication of holonomy groups due to Berger and deRham. If time permits we conclude with submersion results in the case of non-vanishing skew-torsion.

Resumo

A fundamental question in mathematical analysis, with consequences to fields such as partial differential equations, mathematical physics, signal processing and many others, is that of simultaneous time-frequency concentration of signals. More specifically: given a set $\Omega = I \times J \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, how much information can be inferred about $f$ from its measurements on $I$, and measurements of its Fourier transform on $J$?

As classically known, the Uncertainty Principle prevents sharp localization, but one may hope to obtain suitably `almost-localized' signals if the underlying sets $\Omega$ considered are large enough. The topic of how much of such a localization is achievable has been extensively studied by several authors, such as I. Daubechies, Y. Meyer, D. Donoho, C. Fefferman and many others, leading to the development of the theory of Wavelets and that of the Short-time Fourier transform.

In this talk, we shall highlight recent developments on concentration results for time-frequency representations, with emphasis on the cases of the Short-time Fourier and Wavelet transforms. Our main goal will be to understand the Nicola-Tilli theorem on sharp concentration for the Gabor transform, its recent stability version, and other generalizations thereof, with a focus on open problems and possible future directions.

Viviana del Barco, Universidade Estadual de Campinas.

Resumo

In this talk we will discuss recent advancements on $G_2$-instantons on 7-dimensional 2-step nilpotent Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant coclosed $G_2$-structures. I will present necessary and sufficient conditions for the characteristic connection of the $G_2$-structure to be an instanton, in terms of the torsion of the $G_2$-structure, the torsion of the connection and the Lie group structure. These conditions allow to show that the metrics corresponding to the $G_2$-instantons define a naturally reductive structure on the simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group with left-invariant Riemannian metric. This is a joint work with Andrew Clarke and Andrés Moreno.

Resumo

The classical non-abelian Hodge Correspondence is a gauge-theoretic construction that has allowed for the use of complex geometric methods in the study of representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface. The conformal limit was introduced by Gaiotto as a parameterized variation of this classical correspondence. In this talk, we will explore how, in the case of representations into $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$, this limit is related to complex projective structures. We will also use this relation to further our geometric understanding of the limiting process. This is joint work with Peter B. Gothen.

Resumo

In the present talk I will introduce a new class of almost contact metric manifolds, called anti-quasi-Sasakian (aqS for short). They are non-normal almost contact metric manifolds $(M, φ, ξ, η, g)$, locally fibering along the 1-dimensional foliation generated by $ξ$ onto Kähler manifolds endowed with a closed 2-form of type $(2,0)$. Various examples of anti-quasi-Sasakian manifolds will be provided, including compact nilmanifolds, $\mathbb{S}^1$-bundles and manifolds admitting a $\operatorname{Sp}(n) × {1}$-reduction of the structural group of the frame bundle. Then, I will discuss some geometric obstructions to the existence of aqS structures, mainly related to curvature and topological properties. In particular, I will focus on compact manifolds endowed with aqS structures of maximal rank, showing that they cannot be homogeneous and they must satisfy some restrictions on the Betti numbers. This is based on joint works with Giulia Dileo (Bari) and Ivan Yudin (Coimbra).

Henrik Winther, Artic University of Norway.

Resumo

We consider and resolve the gap problem for global automorphisms of complex or real parabolic geometries. Concretely, the automorphism group of a parabolic geometry of type $(G, P)$ is largest for the flat model $G/P$. The symmetry dimension is maximal in this case and is equal to $\operatorname{dim} G$. We prove that the next realizable, so-called submaximal dimension of the automorphism group of a $(G, P)$ type geometry is the dimension of a (specific) maximal parabolic subgroup in G. We also discuss maximal and submaximal dimensions of the automorphism group of compact models and provide several examples. Joint work with B. Kruglikov.
