Despite of the fact that 4-dimensional manifolds together with 3-dimensional manifolds are the most fundamental and important objects in geometry and topology and topologists had great achievements in 1960's, there has been little known on 4...
In 1980s, Donaldson discovered his famous invariant of 4-manifolds which was subsequently proved to be an integral on the moduli space of semistable sheaves when the 4-manifold is an algebraic surface. In 1994, the Seiberg-Witten invariant w...
Random conformal geometry of Coulomb gas formalism
Several cluster interfaces in 2D critical lattice models have been proven to have conformally invariant scaling limits, which are described by SLE(Schramm-Loewner evolution) process, a family of random fractal curves. As the remarkable achie...
A W-algebra is introduced as a symmetry algebra in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Mathematical realization of a W-algebra was introduced by the theory of vertex algebras. Especially, W-algebras related to Lie superalgebras have been s...
<학부생을 위한 ɛ 강연> Geometry and algebra of computational complexity
학부생을 위한 이 강연에서는 고전적 튜링 기계의 기본적 정의로부터 시작하여 • 튜링기계를 비롯한 다양한 컴퓨터 모델의 복잡도 개념; • 계산(불)가능성 – 특히 디오판틴 방정식의 알고리즘적 해결법 (힐버트의 10번째 문제); • Non-deterministic 튜링 기계...
Ill-posedness for incompressible Euler equations at critical regularit
We obtain a quantitative and robust proof that incompressible fluid models are strongly ill-posed in critical Sobolev spaces, in the sense that norm inflation and even nonexistence occur for critical initial data. We then show how to use th...
WGAN with an Infinitely wide generator has no spurious stationary points
Generative adversarial networks (GAN) are a widely used class of deep generative models, but their minimax training dynamics are not understood very well. In this work, we show that GANs with a 2-layer infinite-width generator and a 2-layer...
<학부생을 위한 ɛ 강연> Symplectic geometry and the three-body problem
We describe some of the history of the three-body problem and how it lead to symplectic geometry. We start by sketching Poincare’s prize-winning work, and discuss how it lead to the birth of the fields of dynamical systems and symplec...
<정년퇴임 기념강연> Hardy, Beurling, and invariant subspaces
The invariant subspace problem is one of the longstanding open problem in the field of functional analysis and operator theory. It is due to J. von Neumann (in 1932) and is stated as: Does every operator have a nontrivial invariant subspace...
Diophantine equations and moduli spaces with nonlinear symmetry
A fundamental result in number theory is that, under certain linear actions of arithmetic groups on homogeneous varieties, the integral points of the varieties decompose into finitely many orbits. For a classical example, the set of integra...
Sufficient conditions for the Jensen polynomials of the derivatives of a real entire function to be hyperbolic are obtained. The conditions are given in terms of the growth rate and zero distribution of the function. As a consequence some r...
초록: Let X be a homogeneous space for a Lie group G. A (G,X)-structure on a manifold M is an atlas of coordinate charts valued in X, such that the changes of coordinates locally lie in G. It is a fundamental question to ask how many ways o...
Geometric Langlands theory: A bridge between number theory and physics
※ 강연 앞 부분이 잘렸습니다. (강연자료 다운: Geometric Langlands Theory [A Bridge between Number Theory and Physics] (2022.04.28).pdf ) 초록: The Langlands program consists of a tantalizing collection of surprising results and conjectures w...
<2020년도 젊은 과학자상 수상 기념강연> Metastability of stochastic systems
Metastability란 random process가 여러 개의 안정된 상태를 가질 때 반드시 나타나는 현상으로, 수리물리학이나 화학의 여러 모형들은 물론 딥러닝의 알고리즘 등 다양한 곳에서 공통적으로 나타나는 현상이다. 본 강연에서는 이 Metastability를 수학적으로...
