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...
Among many different ways to introduce derived algebraic geometry is an interplay between ordinary algebraic geometry and homotopy theory. The infinity-category theory, as a manifestation of homotopy theory, supplies better descent results ...
From 1980’s, the study of Kleinian groups has been carried out in the framework of the paradigm of “Thurston’s problems”. Now they are all solved, and we can tackle deeper problems; for instance to determine the topological types of the defo...
Creation of concepts for prediction models and quantitative trading
Modern mathematics with axiomatic systems has been developed to create a complete reasoning system. This was one of the most exciting mathematical experiments. However, even after the failure of the experiment, mathematical research is still...
It is a fascinating and challenging problem to count number fields with bounded discriminant. It has so many applications in number theory. We give two examples. First, we compute the average of the smallest primes belonging to a conjugacy ...
Convex and non-convex optimization methods in image processing
In this talk, we discuss some results of convex and non-convex optimization methods in image processing. Examples including image colorization, blind decovolution and impulse noise removal are presented to demonstrate these methods. Their a...

Contact topology of singularities and symplectic fillings
For an isolated singularity, the intersection with a small sphere forms a smooth manifold, called the link of a singularity. It admits a canonical contact structure, and this turns out to be a fine invariant of singularities and provides an...
In this talk, we discuss recent work with Albers, Cieliebak, Fish, Frauenfelder, Hofer and Paternain on several aspects of the three body problem. The ultimate goal of this project is to use modern, holomorphic curve techniques to investigat...
Contact instantons and entanglement of Legendrian links
We introduce a conformally invariant nonlinear sigma model on the bulk of contact manifolds with boundary condition on the Legendrian links in any odd dimension. We call any finite energy solution a contact instanton. We also explain its Ha...
A fundamental problem in differential geometry is to characterize intrinsic metrics on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold M2 which can be realized as isometric immersions into R3. This problem can be formulated as initial and/or boundary ...

I will talk on Cannes's Embedding Conjecture, which is considered as one of the most important open problems in the field of operator algebras. It asserts that every finite von Neumann algebra is approximable by matrix algebras in suitable s...
Connectedness of a zero-level set as a geometric estimate for parabolic PDEs
Studies on PDEs are mostly focused on ?nding properties of PDEs within a speci?c discipline and on developing a technique specialized to them. However, ?nding a common structure over di?erent disciplines and unifying theories from di?erent s...
We introduce the notion of congruences (modulo a prime number) between modular forms of different levels. One of the main questions is to show the existence of a certain newform of an expected level which is congruent to a given modular form...
Since Belavin, Polyakov, and Zamolodchikov introduced conformal field theory as an operator algebra formalism which relates some conformally invariant critical clusters in two-dimensional lattice models to the representation theory of Viraso...
In this talk I will talk about existence and regularity for solutions to the compressible viscous Navier-Stokes equations on nonsmooth domains, especially with corners. The solution is constructed by the decomposition of the corner singulari...
I will tell two interrelated stories illustrating fruitful interactions between combinatorics and Hodge theory. The first is that of Lorentzian polynomials, based on my joint work with Petter Brändén. They link continuous convex...
The main topic of the talk is a determinantal formula for high dimensional tree numbers of acyclic complexes via combinatorial Laplace operators . This result is a generalization of Temperley's tree number formula for graphs, motivated by a ...
