Abelian varieties, modular forms and moduli

The aim of the meeting is to discuss recent developments, techniques and open questions in the area of abelian varieties and their moduli spaces, modular forms, number theory and combinatorics, automo...

Period-index questions and the u-invariant

We will discuss the period index questions for 2-torsion Brauer elements of function field of a hyperelliptic curve over global field of char 0. As a consequence, we deduce finiteness of the u-invaria...

Real plane sextic curves without real singular points

We will start with a brief introduction to topology of real algebraic curves, and then will discuss in more details the case of curves of degree 6 in the real projective plane. The main purpose of the...

First person exploration of Thurston’s geometry

Thurston’s geometrization theorem, proved by Perelman, is a major accomplishment in geometry and topology as it solved the long standing Poincaré conjecture. This theorem states that any reasonable th...

Simulating cardiac dynamics: from high-fidelity to surrogate modelling

With the advent of modern numerical simulation tools, virtual human twins are becoming a widely used tool in biomedical research, making it possible to study complex physiological processes in a safe ...

The diluted Hofstadter Q sequence

We consider a variant of the Hofstadter Q sequence, that we call a "dilute Hofstadter Q sequence", where only one nested term is retained while the other one is replaced with a given sequence f(n). We...

Irrationality of conic bundles over the complex numbers, via their reduction in characteristic 2

A variety is called rational if it contains a Zariski open subset isomorphic to an open subset of projective space. Determining whether a given smooth projective variety is not rational is often a com...

Deferred Correction: arbitrary high order ODE solver

We introduce the abstract Deferred Correction framework and show how it can be used to design schemes of arbitrarily high order for ordinary differential equations....

Dalla percolazione ai modelli di particelle interagenti

La percolazione è uno dei modelli probabilistici più semplici ma allo stesso tempo fondamentale per studiare la formazione di strutture casuali su grafi o reticoli. In questo modello ogni vertice o ar...

A Matsushima theorem for Fano threefolds

I will give a gentle introduction with several examples to the following topic: Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture states that a polarised manifold $(X,L)$ admits a cscK metric in $c_1(L)$ if and only if $...

Blow-Up and Global Existence for Semilinear Parabolic Equations on Graphs

This talk is devoted to semilinear parabolic equations on infinite weighted combinatorial graphs. We will address finite-time blow-up phenomena, considering both arbitrary initial data and sufficientl...

Spectra of critical Erdős-Rényi graphs

We consider the Erdős-Rényi graph G in its critical regime when its expected degree d scales like the logarithm of its number of vertices. On this critical scale, G undergoes a connectivity transitio...
