On the stability conjecture from Mane's viewpont for geodesic flows in
manifolds without conjugate points (without closing lemma)
The stabililty conjecture for geodesic flows states that the geodesic flow of a compact
Riemannian manifold is Anosov if and only if it is C1 structurally stable, namely,
there exists an open C1 neighbourhood of the flow where every geodesic flow is conjugate to it.
The general version of the C1 stability conjecture for diffeomorphisms was proven by
Mane in the 1980's and relies in an essential way on Pugh's closing lemma and Franks Lemma.
The closing lemma for geodesic flows is still a very difficult open problem, while the Franks
lemma was obtained by Contreras-Paternain in the 1990's and more recently by Lazrag-Rifford-Ruggiero
for Mane type perturbations of the metric (applying geometric control theory).
Without the closing lemma at hand, we show the C2 stability conjecture from Mane's
viewpoint for compact surfaces without conjugate points and for three dimensional, quasi-convex
manifolds without conjugate points.
In the study of the three dimensional case Thurston's uniformization theory plays an important
role. We have some generalizations to higher dimensions to the so-called generalised rank one
manifolds.

Adaptive Filtered Schemes for first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations
The accurate numerical solution of Hamilton-Jacobi equations is a challenging topic of growing
importance in many fields of application but due to the lack of regularity of viscosity
solutions the construction of high-order methods can be rather difficult.
We will consider a class of “filtered” schemes for first order evolutive Hamilton-Jacobi
equations. These schemes, already proposed in the literature, are based on a mixture of a
high-order (possibly unstable) scheme and a monotone scheme, according to a filter function F
and a coupling parameter epsilon. This construction allows to have a scheme which is high-order
accurate where the solution is smooth and is monotone otherwise. This feature is crucial to
prove that the scheme converges to the unique viscosity solutions.
In this talk we will present an improvement of the classical filtered scheme, introducing an
adaptive and automatic choice of the parameter epsilon at every iteration. To this end, we use
a smoothness indicator in order to select the regions where we can compute the regularity
threshold epsilon. Our smoothness indicator is based on some ideas developed for the construction
of the WENO schemes, but other indicators with similar properties can be used. We present a
convergence result and error estimates for the new scheme, the proofs are based on the properties
of the scheme and on the properties of the indicators. We will illustrate also a number of
numerical tests confirming that the adaptive filtered scheme is very efficient in many situations
and improves previous results in the literature. Joint work with Maurizio Falcone and Silvia Tozza.

Families of rational maps and dynamics
Given integers d≥2 and 2≤k≤2d-2, the family of rational maps of degree
d having k distinct critical points is a smooth quasiprojective variety. We shall
present results and open questions regarding subvarieties where some of the critical
points are periodic. Are those subvarieties smooth, do they intersect transverally,
how many connected components do they have, how do they distribute as the period
tend to infinity?

Crystal graphs and semicanonical functions for symmetrizable Cartan matrices
This is a report on a joint project with B. Leclerc and J. Schroer. Associated to a symmetrizable
Cartan matrix, a symmetrizrer and an orientation we define certain quivers with relations such that
the so-called locally free modules resemble the behavior of a species resp. of its preprojective
algebra associated to the same data. The set of components of maximal dimension for the E-filtered
representations of our preprojective algebra have a natural structure of the crystal B(∞)
associated to the Cartan matrix. In an appropriate convolution algebra of constructible functions
we find elements which are generically 1 on a given component of this set, and 0 on all other
components. Unfortunately, the generators of our algebra do not fulfill the Serre
relations. However, we conjecture that the support of the functions which belong to the Serre
ideal does not have maximal dimension.

From non-formal, non-C* deformation quantization in arbitrary dimensions
to abstract O*-algebras
Starting with any hilbertisable locally convex space V (i.e. locally convex space whose topology can
be described by inner products), one can construct its usual deformations by means of exponential
star products (like Moyal and Wick star product) on the commutative *algebra of polynomial functions
over V, and finds that there is a unique coarsest topology on the deformed *algebras making all
deformed products, all evaluating functionals and the *involution continuous. While this resulting
deformed *algebra has some more nice properties, e.g. it allows to incorporate elements Q,P having
canonical commutation relations [Q,P] = i and to exponentiate these elements in the completion of
the algebra, its topology is far from being C*, yet not even submultiplicative. So the
question arises, which of the properties that make C*-algebras attractive as candidates
for observable algebras in physics carry over to our construction (or to similar ones that have
been examined recently on the hyperbolic disc or for the Gutt star product). The notion of an
abstract O*-algebra might provide a suitable framework to examine these problems:
The idea is to focus more on the properties of the ordering on a *algebra coming from a suitable
set of positive linear functionals, which e.g. allows to study properties of pure states in detail,
and could eventually lead to a spectral theorem for *algebras of unbounded operators by applying
the Freudenthal spectral theorem for lattice ordered vector spaces.

T-duality in rational homothopy theory
Sullivan models from rational homotopy theory can be used to describe a duality in string theory.
Namely, what in string theory is known as topological T-duality between K0-cocycles in type IIA
string theory and K1-cocycles in type IIB string theory, or as Hori's formula, can be recognized
as a Fourier-Mukai transform between twisted cohomologies when looked through the lenses of rational
homotopy theory. This is an example of topological T-duality in rational homotopy theory, which can
be completely formulated in terms of morphisms of L-infinity algebras. Based on joint work with
Hisham Sati and Urs Schreiber (arXiv:1712.00758).

The adapted hyper-Kaehler structure on the tangent bundle of a Hermitian symmetric space II
The cotangent bundle of a compact Hermitian symmetric space X=G/K (a tubular neighbourhood of the zero
section, in the non-compact case) carries a unique G-invariant hyper-Kaehler structure
compatible with the Kaehler structure of X and the canonical complex symplectic form of T*X.
The tangent bundle TX, which is isomorphic to T*X, carries a canonical complex structure J,
the so called 'adapted complex structure', and admits a unique G-invariant hyper-Kaehler structure
compatible with the Kaehler structure of X and the adapted complex structure J. The two hyper-Kaehler
structures are related by a G-equivariant fiber preserving diffeomorphism of TX, as already noticed
by Dancer and Szoeke.
The fact that the domain of existence of J in TX is biholomorphic to a G-invariant domain in the
complex homogeneous space GC/KC allows us to use Lie theoretical tools and moment
map techniques to explicitly compute the various quantities of the 'adapetd hyper-Kaehler structure'.
This is part of a joint project with Andrea Iannuzzi, and this talk concludes his presentation of February 9.

Numeri primi e somme di due quadrati
Proporrò argomenti che riguardano l'aritmetica e che partono da concetti
elementari. L'obiettivo è di proporre un piano di lavoro che arrivi alla
dimostrazione di un famoso teorema di Fermat che caratterizza i numeri che sono
somma di due quadrati. A tale proposito è possibile un excursus sul teorema
di Pitagora, sull'equazione x2+y2=z2 e sulle sue soluzioni,
nonché sull'ultimo teorema di Fermat. Nel corso della 'passeggiata' sarà necessario
discutere dell'infinità dei numeri primi (e delle sue varie dimostrazioni),
delle congruenze modo un primo, ecc.
