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...

The Wolf and the Cello: Modelling and Design of Multiple Resonance Suppressors in Large String Instruments

The wolf note is an acoustic instability that occurs in large bowed string instruments when a strong body resonance interacts with the vibrating string, producing amplitude modulation and loss of tona...

Constrained curvature flows in space forms (and beyond)

Extrinsic curvature flows provide powerful analytic tools to deform hypersurfaces toward canonical shapes. Among them, mean curvature flow evolves a hypersurface in the direction of its mean curvature...

Normalisations and Fourier-Mukai transforms applied to mirror symmetry

We will discuss how the Fourier-Mukai transform acts on sheaves supported on the closed stratum of the singular locus of the compactified Jacobian of an irreducible nodal curve, by relating it to the ...

Effective characterization of semiabelian varieties

We give an effective characterization of semiabelian varieties among quasi-projective varieties of maximal Albanese dimension. This is joint work with J. Baudin....

On the (hidden) integrability structure of the deformed rule-54 reversible cellular automaton

I will discuss the integrability property of a stochastic and quantum deformation of the Rule 54 cellular automaton: the simplest microscopic (deterministic) reversible model in 1+1 discrete space and...

Sharp macroscopic blow-up behavior for the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system in dimensions n ≥3

We study the space-time concentration asymptotics of radially decreasing solutions of the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system of chemotaxis, in a ball or in the whole space. We show that, in dimens...

Multi-Agent Derivative-Free Optimization via Consensus Dynamics

This seminar presents a general overview of multi-agent, derivative-free metaheuristic methods for global nonconvex optimization, with a focus on stochastic interacting particle systems. We briefly re...

Studiare in Palestina Oggi

Conferenza sulla situazione della Scuola e dell'Università palestinese nel drammatico contesto attuale. L'iniziativa si svolge nell'ambito del progetto NoKalak in collaborazione tra Sapienza Universit...

On log Calabi-Yau manifolds

I will report on joint work with Tristan Collins where we look at pairs (X,D) where X is a complex projective manifold and D is a divisor with simple normal crossings such that K_X+D is trivial. I wil...

Strutture algebriche e omotopia

Nel mondo della topologia la relazione di uguaglianza è spesso sostituita da relazioni più deboli. Un esempio è l'equivalenza omotopica, che permette di sviluppare una teoria notevole. Nel seminario c...

K-stability of weighted hypersurfaces

In this talk I will discuss K-stability of weighted Fano hypersurfaces of dimension $n\geq 3$. The $3$-fold case has been established by [Kim-Okada-Won], [Sano-Tasin], [Campo-Okada]. In a joint work w...
