Heavy-tailed large deviations and deep learning's generalization mystery
Abstract: While the typical behaviors of stochastic systems are often deceptively oblivious to the tail distributions of the underlying uncertainties, the ways rare events arise are vastly different depending on whether the underlying tail ...
Green’s function for initial-boundary value problem
In this talk, we will present an approach to construct the Green’s function for an initial boundary value problem with precise pointwise structure in the space-time domain. This approach is given in terms of transform variable and physical v...

It has been more than thirty years since white noise analysis was launched systematically. It is now a good time to have an overview of the theory and to reflect on its advantages in order to anticipate further developments of this theory. O...
Categorical representation theory, Categorification and Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras
Representation theory is to study the actions of groups or algebras on vector spaces. Recently, its categorical version, categorical representation theory, attracts researchers in representation theory. In this theory we replace "vector spac...
In the early 90's, physicists Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa conjectured that the analytic torsion was the counterpart in complex geometry of the counting problem of elliptic curves in Calabi-Yau threefolds. It seems that this conjecture is ...
A function from a group G to integers Z is called a quasi-morphism if there is a constant C such that for all g and h in G, |f(gh)-f(g)-f(h)| < C. Surprisingly, this idea has been useful. I will overview the theory of quasi-morphisms includi...
Chern-Simons invariant and eta invariant for Schottky hyperbolic manifolds
In this talk, I will explain a relationship of the Chern-Simons invariant and the eta invariant for Schottky hyperbolic manifolds. The relating formula involves a defect term given by the Bergman tau function over the conformal boundary Riem...
We rely on intuition every day, and we use mathematics every day. Intuition is fast, powerful and omniapplicable, but sometimes wrong. Mathematics is efficient, powerful and correct, when applicable. Whenever there is an uncertainty, a proof...
The Mathematics of the Bose Gas and its Condensation
Since Bose and Einstein discovered the condensation of Bose gas, which we now call Bose-Einstein condensation, its mathematical properties have been of great importance for mathematical physics. Recently, many rigorous results have been obta...
We consider the problem of identifying the material properties from boundary measurements. For the conductivity case, this is known as Calderon problem: “Is it possible to determine the electrical conductivity inside a domain from the bounda...
