Coulomb Gases are point processes consisting of particles whose pair interaction is governed by the Coulomb potential. There is also an external potential which confines the particles to a region. Wigner introduced this toy model for the Gi...
Symplectic geometry has one of its origins in Hamiltonian dynamics. In the late 60s Arnold made a fundamental conjecture about the minimal number of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian vector fields. This is a far-reaching generalization of Poinc...
Homology is a method for assigning signatures to geometric objects which reects the presence of various kinds of features, such as connected components, loops, spheres, surfaces, etc. within the object. Persistent homology is a methodology...

In this talk, I will talk about the definition Q-curvature and some of its properties. Then I will talk about the problem of prescribing Q-curvature, especially I will explain the ideas of studying the problem using flow approach.
Quantitative residual non-vanishing of special values of various L-functions
Non-vanishing modulo a prime of special values of various $L$-functions are of great importance in studying structures of relevant arithmetic objects such as class groups of number fields and Selmer groups of elliptic curves. While there hav...
Quantum Dynamics in the Mean-Field and Semiclassical Regime
The talk will review a new approach to the limits of the quantum N-body dynamics leading to the Hartree equation (in the large N limit) and to the Liouville equation (in the small Planck constant limit). This new strategy for studying both l...
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...
The Lie superalgebra q(n) is the second super-analogue of the general Lie algebra gl(n). Due to its complicated structure, q(n) is usually called “the queer superalgebra”. In this talk we will discuss certain old and new results related to t...

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...
Free probability is a young mathematical theory that started in the theory of operator algebras. One of the main features of free probability theory is its connection with random matrices. Indeed, free probability provides operator algebrai...
Given a group of isometries of a metric space, one can draw a random sequence of group elements, and look at its action on the space. What are the asymptotic properties of such a random walk? The answer depends on the geometry of the space...
Ergodic theory of horocycle flow and nilflow has been proved to be useful for analyzing the randomness of Mobius function, a function which reveals the mystery of prime numbers. In this survey talk, we will introduce Mobius function and seve...
Recent progress on the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and applications
In his survey paper in the Bulletin of the AMS from 2002, R. J. Gardner discussed the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, stating that it deserves to be better known and painted a beautiful picture of its relationship with other inequalities in anal...

Recommendation system and matrix completion: SVD and its applications (학부생을 위한 강연)
이 강연에서는 최근 음악, 영화 추천 등 다양한 Recommendation System의 기본 아이디어인 Matrix Completion 문제와, 이를 해결하기 위해 Singular Value Decomposition을 통한 차원 축소 및 내재 공간 학습이 어떤 원리로 이루어 지는지 설명합니다. 그리고 ...
In this talk, we investigate some regularity results for non-uniformly elliptic problems. We first present uniformly elliptic problems and the definition of non-uniform ellipticity. We then introduce a double phase problem which is characte...
Regularization by noise in nonlinear evolution equations
There are some phenomena called "regularization by noise" in nonlinear evolution equations. This means that if you add a noise to the system, the system would have a better property than without noise. As one of examples, I will explain this...
We will talk about the Fourier restriction theorems for non-degenerate and degenerate curves in Euclidean space Rd. This problem was first studied by E. M. Stein and C. Fefferman for the circle and sphere, and it still remains an unsolved pr...
