Complete monotonicity of the Mittag-Leffler functions and Opial type inequalities for fractional differential and integral operators involving Mittag-Leffler functions
Completely monotonic functions have applications in different areas of mathematics, for instance, in potential theory, probability theory, numerical and asymptotic analysis and combinatorics, modeling by anomalous diffusion, etc. In this talk we'll present some recent new results on complete monotonicity of three parameter Mittag-Leffler functions, defined by Prabhakar. In 1960, Opial established an integral inequality, which is a fundamental result in the theory of differential or difference equations and other areas of mathematics. Opial-type integral inequalities were considered for different kinds of fractional derivatives and fractional integral operators for example Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, Canavati, etc. We'll presents a class of very general weighted Opial type integral inequalities using integral and differential operators with kernels in fractional calculus involving generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. Namely, ineteresting Opial type inequalities will be given for Hilfer, Prabhakar, Hilfer-Prabhakar, Caputo-Prabhakar and other differential and integral operators in fractional calculus.

Indirect Coulomb Energy with Gradient Correction
We prove a Lieb-Oxford-type inequality on the indirect part of the Coulomb energy (also known as the exchange-correlation energy) of a general many-particle quantum state, with a lower constant than the original statement but involving an additional gradient correction. The result is similar to an inequality of Benguria, Bley and Loss, except that our correction term is purely local, which is more usual for density functional theory. No previous knowledge of the subject will be assumed; a short tutorial on the subject and its importance to quantum chemistry will be presented.

Lattice Boltzmann simulations across scales of fluid motion: classical, quantum and relativistic
For more than two decades, the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method has gained increasing interest as an efficient computational scheme for the numerical simulation of complex fluid problems across a broad range of scales, from fully-developed turbulence in complex geometries, to multiphase microflows, all the way down to biopolymer translocation in nanopores and lately even quantum-relativistic flows in quark-gluon plasmas and graphene. After a brief introduction to the main ideas behind the LB method, in this talk we shall illustrate a few selected applications, along with prospects for future multiscale application.

Combinatorial formulas for type A orbit closures
This talk is based on joint work with Allen Knutson and Jenna Rajchgot. Orbit closures of quivers come up in several of areas of mathematics, for example: representations of finite-dimensional algebras, Lusztig's construction of the canonical basis, generalizations of determinantal varieties, and degeneracy loci for maps of vector bundles. This talk is most related to the last one, where 'formulas' for orbit closures means their equivariant K-classes and cohomology classes. Previous work of many people (e.g. Buch, Fulton, Feher, Rimanyi, Knutson, Miller, Shimozono) produced such formulas in the case where all arrows of the quiver point the same direction, often having positive structure constants in some particular basis. We generalize some of these formulas to Type A quivers of arbitrary orientation. The main ingredient is the bipartite Zelevinsky map constructed in previous work of Rajchgot and mine, which identifies orbit closures with intersections of Schubert varieties and opposite Schubert cells in a partial flag variety.

Non-gravitational hints of dark matter in the gamma-ray sky
The presence of dark matter in the Universe has been firmly established from the observations of its gravitational effects on ordinary matter. On the other hand, the identification of its fundamental nature remains one of the deepest mysteries of modern physics. Fortunately, dark matter is expected to exhibit non-gravitational interactions, in which case it would be not totally dark, being able to induce electromagnetic radiation associated to cosmic structures. This radiation has long been targeted to unveil the elusive dark matter nature. However, the intensity of the electromagnetic emission produced by dark matter is rather weak compared to that of other, more conventional sources. In our work, we aimed at efficiently extract the dark matter signal by cross-correlating tracers of the dark matter gravitational potential (using various galaxy catalogues) with the gamma-ray sky (observed by the Fermi-LAT telescope). For the first time we have measured a significant correlation signal and showed that, intriguingly, it can be well explained by postulating a dark matter component composed of weakly interacting particles. Future data collection and dedicated analyses will help in distinguishing this possibility from other astrophysical interpretations of the signal.

Affine supergroups and super Harish-Chandra pairs
Together with any supergroup, one can naturally associate the pair made of its classical (i.e. non super) underlying group and its tangent Lie superalgebra, two objects which obey some obvious mutual compatibility constraints; any similar pair is called 'super Harish-Chandra pair' (=sHCp). This construction leading from supergroups to sHCp's is functorial, and actually an equivalence, as an explicit quasi-inverse functor is known. In this talk I present a new, totally different recipe for such a quasi-inverse: indeed, it extends to a much larger setup, with a more geometrical method. I shall mainly adopt the point of view of algebraic (super)geometry, but the bunch of ideas and results we shall be dealing with actually applies to the real differential, the real analytic and the complex analytic case as well.

How does the heat equation explore geometric and functional inequalities?
Heat flow monotonicity is a powerful tool towards families of functional inequalities, from the classical Hölder inequality and its multilinear Brascamp-Lieb extensions to entropic and isoperimetric inequalities. The talk will feature some of these examples, as well as recent developments on noise stability in Boolean analysis and their application to the 'Majority is Stablest' theorem.
