Long range dispersion vs. Allee effect
In this talk, we study the balance between long range dispersal kernels and the Allee effect in population dynamics models. To do so, we first investigate the so called Fujita blow up phenomena in presence nonlocal diffusion. We prove that the Fujita exponent dramatically depends on the behaviour of the Fourier transform of the diffusion kernel near the origin, which is linked to the tails of J. Then, as an application of the result in population dynamics models, we discuss the so called hair trigger effect. Last, if time permits, we consider the spreading properties (acceleration or not?) of equations with nonlocal diffusion and Allee effect.

Optimal Upper Bound for the Correlation Energy of the Mean-Field Fermi Gas
While Hartree-Fock theory is well established as a fundamental approximation for interacting fermions, it has been unclear how to describe corrections due to many-body correlations. I explain how correlations can be described by an effective quadratic Hamiltonian obtained by bosonizing collective pair excitations. We then use an approximate Bogoliubov theory to construct a trial state with Gell-Mann-Brueckner-type energy. Our result justifies the random phase approximation in the mean-field scaling regime, for repulsive, regular interaction potentials.

A staggered discretization for solving the Euler equations
The mathematical modeling of particulate flows naturally lead to systems of conservation laws involving constraints on velocity fields. The numerical treatment of the constrained systems of PDEs might lead to difficulties: it is not clear that different formulations of the equations remain equivalent at the discrete level, and a careless approach might give rise to spurious instabilities, or to unsatisfactory mass and energy balances. This is reminiscent to the difficulties that appear in the simulation of Euler equations in low Mach regimes, when using standard Riemann solvers. We introduce a new class of schemes for the Euler equations that work on staggered grids, numerical densities and velocities being stored in different locations. Moreover, the design of the numerical fluxes is inspired from the principles of the kinetic schemes. Stability conditions ensuring the positivity of the discrete density and energy can be identified, for both first and second order version of the scheme. The method can be incorporated into a suitable splitting strategy to handle low Mach simulations.

p-adic variations of automorphic sheaves
Elliptic modular forms are sections of powers of the Hodge bundle. Starting with the works of J.P. Serre and N. Katz more than 30 years ago, it was discovered that, given a prime number p, modular forms live in p-adic families. This phenomenon is the geometric counterpart of the theory fo p-adic deformations of Galois representations and has become a basic tool in modern Number Theory. I will present joint work with A. Iovita and V. Pilloni where we construct p-adic families of modular forms as sections of p-adic powers of the Hodge bundle.

Weak forms of the Krull Schmidt Theorem
According to the classical Krull-Schmidt Theorem for modules, any module of finite composition length decomposes as a direct sum of indecomposable modules in an essentially unique way, that is, unique up to isomorphism of the indecomposable summands and a permutation of the summands. In 1975, Warfield proved that every finitely presented module over a serial ring is a finite direct sum of uniserial modules and posed a problem, essentially asking whether the Krull-Schmidt Theorem holds for finite direct sums of uniserial modules. The negative answer to this question was given by A. Facchini in 1996. He showed that even though the Krull-Schmidt Theorem does not hold for serial modules, it is possible to prove a weak version of it. This phenomenon can be found not only for serial modules, but also for other classes of modules like cyclically presented modules over a local ring, kernels of morphisms between indecomposable injective modules, couniformly presented modules, and more generally, for a number of classes of modules whose endomorphism ring has at most two maximal right ideals. In all these example, direct-sum decompositions are described by two invariants (depending on the specific case). After a brief discussion about the theme of finite direct-sum decompositions of modules, we consider weak forms of the Krull-Schmidt Theorem in additive categories. We provide several examples of additive categories in which weak forms of the Krull-Schmidt Theorem hold, showing that the number of invariants needed to describe finite direct-sum decompositions can be arbitrarily large. Finally, we explain how to find a general pattern that allow to treat all our examples at the same time. This talk is based on a joint work with Alberto Facchini

Moduli spaces of semistable sheaves; an alternative construction method
When X is a projective manifold and \omega is a rational ample class, modular compactifications of the moduli space of stable vector bundles on X have been constructed in Algebraic Geometry by putting appropriate classes of semistable sheaves at the boundary. These compactifications appear as global quotients. No similar constructions are known over a general compact Kaehler manifold (X,\omega). In this talk we present an alternative construction method using "local quotients" which covers the case when \omega is an arbitrary Kaehler class on a projective manifold X. This is the subject of joint recent work with Daniel Greb. Essential use is made of the notion introduced by Jarod Alper of a good moduli space of an algebraic stack. Besides solving a wall-crossing issue appearing in the context of projective manifolds, this alternative construction method is likely to extend to the general case of Kaehler manifolds.

Almost periodicity and discrete spectrum for topological dynamical systems
We study dynamical systems (X,G,m) with a compact metric space X, a locally compact, s -compact, abelian group G and an invariant probability measure m. We show that such a system has discrete spectrum if and only if a certain space average over the metric is a Bohr almost periodic function. In this way, this average over the metric plays for general dynamical systems a similar role as the autocorrelation measure plays in the study of aperiodic order for special dynamical systems based on point sets.

Critical Points, Multiple Testing and Point Source Detection for Cosmological Data
Over the last two decades, Cosmology has experienced a sort of revolution, where a flood of data of unprecedented accuracy has become available by means of a number of different ground-based and satellite experiments. A particularly striking example is given by the analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB); loosely speaking, CMB can be viewed as a snapshot of the Universe taken at the age of recombination, i.e. "soon after" the Big Bang: very detailed maps have been produced by the NASA satellite WMAP (2003-2009) and by the ESA satellite Planck (2013-2018). The analysis of these maps entails a number of extremely interesting mathematical questions, mostly related to the geometry of spherical random fields. In this talk, we shall be concerned in particular with issues related to detection of point sources (Galaxies) in CMB Data; we shall discuss in particular the connection with spherical wavelets, distribution of critical points for spherical random fields, and multiple testing procedures.
