The process of mathematical modelling for complex and stochastic biological systems
The revolution of molecular biology in the early 1980s has revealed complex network of non-linear and stochastic biochemical interactions underlying biological systems. To understand this complex system, mathematical models have been widely ...
On function field and smooth specialization of a hypersurface in the projective space
In this talk, we will discuss two interesting problems on hypersurfaces in the projective space. The first one is the absolute Galois theory on the function field of a very general hypersurface in the projective space. The other one is the c...
Towards Trustworthy Scientific Machine Learning: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications
Machine learning (ML) has achieved unprecedented empirical success in diverse applications. It now has been applied to solve scientific problems, which has become an emerging field, Scientific Machine Learning (SciML). Many ML techniques, h...
Equations defining algebraic curves and their tangent and secant varieties
It is a fundamental problem in algebraic geometry to study equations defining algebraic curves. In 1984, Mark Green formulated a famous conjecture on equations defining canonical curves and their syzygies. In early 2000's, Claire Voisin...
A feature of log-correlation naturally appears in diverse objects such as random matrices, random discrete geometries and Riemann zeta function. In this talk, I will give an overview on the theory of log-correlated fields and talk about rec...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
