Ingrid Irmer (Southern University of Science and Technology)
The Thurston spine and the Systole function of Teichmüller space (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The systole function $f_{sys}$ on Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}_{g}$ of a closed genus $g$ surface is a piecewise-smooth map $\mathcal{T}_{g}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ whose value at any point is the length of the shortest geodesic on the corresponding hyperbolic surface. It is known that $f_{sys}$ gives a mapping class group-equivariant handle decomposition of $\mathcal{T}_{g}$ via an analogue of Morse Theory. This talk explains the relationship between this handle decomposition and the Thurston spine of $\mathcal{T}_{g}$.

The pro-modularity in the residually reducible case (English)
[ Abstract ]
For a continuous odd two dimensional Galois representation over a finite field of characteristic p, it is conjectured that its universal deformation ring is isomorphic to some p-adic big Hecke algebra, called the big R=T theorem. Recently, Deo explored the residually reducible case and proved a big R=T theorem for Q under the assumption of the cyclicity of some cohomology group. However, his method is unavailable for totally real fields since the assumption does not hold any longer. In this talk, we follow the strategy of the work from Skinner-Wiles and Pan on the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture and give a pro-modularity result for some totally real fields, which is an analogue to the big R=T theorem.

The Energy of Heavy Atoms: Density Functionals (English)
[ Abstract ]
Since computing the energy of a system with $N$ particles requires solving a $4^N$ dimensional system of (pseudo-)differential equations in $3N$ independent variables, an analytic solution is practically impossible. Therefore density functionals, i.e., functionals that depend on the particle density (3 variables) only and yield the energy upon minimization, are of great interest.
This concept has been applied successfully in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. However, in relativistic quantum mechanics even the simple analogue of the Thomas-Fermi functional is not bounded from below for Coulomb potential. This problem was addressed eventually by Engel and Dreizler who derived a functional from QED. I will review some known mathematical properties of this functional and show that it yields basic features of physics, such as asymptotic correct energy, stability of matter, and boundedness of the excess charge.

Well-posedness for Semilinear Heat Equations in Orlicz Spaces (English)
[ Abstract ]
We consider the local well-posedness of semilinear heat equations in Orlicz spaces, the latter prescribed via a Young function $\Phi$. Many existence-uniqueness results exist in the literature for power-like or exponential-like nonlinearities $f$, where the natural setting is an Orlicz space of corresponding type; i.e. if $f$ is power-like then $\Phi$ is power-like (Lebesgue space), if $f$ is exponential-like then $\Phi$ is exponential-like. However, the general problem of prescribing a suitable $\Phi$ for a given, otherwise arbitrary $f$ is open. Our goal is to provide a suitable framework to resolve this problem and I will present some recent results in this direction. The key is a new (to the best of our knowledge) smoothing estimate for the heat semigroup between two arbitrary Orlicz spaces. Existence then follows familiar lines via monotonicity or contraction mapping arguments. Global solutions are also presented under additional assumptions. This work is part of a collaborative project with Prof Kazuhiro Ishige, Dr Yohei Fujishima and Dr Kotaro Hisa.

Exotic 4-manifolds with signature zero (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We will talk about our novel examples of symplectic 4-manifolds, which are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to the standard simply-connected closed 4-manifolds with signature zero. In particular, they provide such examples with the smallest Euler characteristics known to date. Our method employs the time-honored approach of reverse-engineering, while the key new ingredients are the model manifolds that we build from scratch as Lefschetz fibrations. Notably, our method greatly simplifies pi_1 calculations, typically the most intricate aspect in existing literature.
This is joint work with Inanc Baykur (University of Massachusetts Amherst).

Equidimensionality of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in mixed characteristic (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
Shimura varieties are of central interest in arithmetic geometry and affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties are closely related to their special fibers. These varieties are group-theoretical objects and can be defined even for non-miniscule local Shimura data. In this talk, I will explain the proof of the equidimensionality of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in mixed characteristic.
The main ingredient is a local foliation of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in mixed characteristic. In equal characteristic, this local structure was previously introduced by Hartl and Viehmann.

Kähler metrics in the Siegel domain (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The Siegel domain is endowed with an intrinsic Kähler structure, making it an exemplary model for the complex hyperbolic plane. Its boundary, characterized as the one-point compactification of the Heisenberg group, plays an important role in studying the geometry of the Siegel domain. In this talk, using the CR structure of the Heisenberg group we introduce a variety of Kähler structures within the Siegel domain. We conclude by demonstrating that all these metrics are PCR-Kähler equivalent, that is, essentially the same when confined to the CR structure. This talk is based on a joint work with Ioannis Platis and Joonhyung Kim.

Yuichi Ike (Institute of Mathematics for Industry, Kyushu University)
γ-supports and sheaves (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The space of smooth compact exact Lagrangians of a cotangent bundle carries the spectral metric γ, and we consider its completion. With an element of the completion, Viterbo associated a closed subset called γ-support. In this talk, I will explain how we can use sheaf-theoretic methods to explore the completion and γ-supports. I will show that we can associate a sheaf with an element of the completion, and its (reduced) microsupport is equal to the γ-support through the correspondence. With this equality, I will also show several properties of γ-supports. This is joint work with Tomohiro Asano (RIMS), Stéphane Guillermou (Nantes Université), Vincent Humilière (Sorbonne Université), and Claude Viterbo (Université Paris-Saclay).
