The notion of transfer is a way to relate representation theory of different real forms of a complex semisimple Lie group. In this talk, I will explicitly describe the transfer of \theta(1) of Sp(2n,R) in the case of non-stable range via the study of K-types. As a corollary, we get certain compatibility of local theta correspondence and the transfer functor, and every unitary irreducible constituent of degenerate principal series of maximal Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is a derived functor module, which coincide with the results of Matumoto-Trapa for the case of Sp(p,q), SO*(2n), and U(m,n).

This talk focuses on the development of time-dependent regularized 13-moment equations for general elastic collision models within the linear regime. The detailed derivation demonstrates that these proposed equations exhibit super-Burnett order for small Knudsen numbers and feature a symmetric structure. A novel modification to stable boundary conditions is introduced to remove boundary layers. The effectiveness of the model is validated through numerical simulations of channel flows.

In this talk we will first present an elementary treatment of the Brunn-Minkowski inequalities in dimension 2, which include the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality, the $L^p$ and the log Brunn-Minkowski inequalities due to Lutwak and his collaborators, then we discuss a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality for the functional associated with the dual $L^p$−Minkowski problem. If time permits, a similar inequality for higher dimensional PDEs will be proposed.

We build bridges between moduli theory of sheaf stable pairs on one hand and birational geometry on the other hand. We will in particular treat moduli of sheaf stable pairs on smooth projective curves in detail and present some calculations in low degrees.

This is based on a joint work with Caucher Birkar and Artan Sheshmani.

Let f be a holomorphic endomorphism of P^k (C) of algebraic degree d. The Julia set J of f is the support of the unique measure mu of maximal entropy k log d. De Thélin and Dinh proved that every measure whose entropy is larger than (k-1)(log d) is also supported on J. Their proof crucially relies on the existence of the Green current. In particular, it follows from a delicate induction which makes use of the successive self-intersections T^j of the Green current T. It is then unclear how to generalize this result to more general non-algebraic settings, where a dynamical Green current does not exist.

I will present a new proof of this theorem which does not rely on the existence of a Green current, but instead on a quantified speed of convergence of preimages of points towards mu, which was established by Dinh and Sibony. In particular, the result can be extended to the more general setting of polynomial-like maps of large topological degree.

This is a joint work with Sardor Bazarbaev and Karim Rakhimov.

A quasi-kernel of a digraph is an independent set Q such that every vertex can reach Q in at most two steps. The 48-year-old small QK conjecture says that every sink-free digraph contains a quasi-kernel of size at most n/2. Spiro posed the large QK conjecture, which states that every digraph contains a quasi-kernel Q such that |N^-[Q]| ≥ n/2, and showed that it follows from the small QK conjecture. We show that the converse is true with a weaker constant. We also show that every sink-free digraph contains a quasi-kernel of size at most (1−1/k)n, where k is the digraph’s kernel-perfect number, generalizing a result by Kostochka, Luo and Shan. Joint work with Ai and Liu.

Let $\alpha$ be an admissible ordinal. A set $A\subset \alpha$ is of minimal $\alpha$-degree if it is non -recursive and every set of lower $\alpha$-degree is recursive. In 1956 Spector introduced the technique of forcing with perfect sets to prove the existence of a minimal $\omega$-degree. Sacks posed the problem of the existence of a minimal $\alpha$-degree for all admissible $\alpha$. This problem, poised in the early 1970’s, remains unsolved today. The best result to-date is that of Shore (1972) in which he showed that there is a positive solution if $\alpha$ is $\Sigma_2$-admissible. There has been no progress made on this problem since. In this talk we present a recent result on the minimal $\alpha$-degree problem for singular cardinals of uncountable cofinality which are not $\Sigma_2$-admissible.

Consider a smooth manifold with a Riemannian metric satisfying some sort of geometric constraint like, for example, positive scalar curvature, non-negative Ricci or negative sectional curvature, being Einstein, Kähler, Sasakian, of special holonomy, etc. A natural question to ponder is then what the space of all such metrics does look like. Moreover, one can also study this question for the corresponding moduli spaces of metrics,i.e., quotients of the former by the diffeomorphism group of the manifold, acting by pulling back metrics. These spaces are customarily equipped with the topology of smooth convergence on compact subsets and the quotient topology, respectively, and their topological properties then provide the right means to measure ‘how many’ different metrics and geometries the given manifold actually does exhibit.

The history of the subject as a whole indeed goes back more than a century, and since H. Weyl’s early result on the connectedness of the space of positive Gaussian curvature metrics on the two-sphere and the foundings of Teichmüller, infinite- dimensional manifold and Lie group theory, uniformization and geometrization, the study of spaces of metrics and their corresponding moduli has been a topic of interest for differential geometers, global and geometric analysts and topologists alike.

In my talk, I will provide a gentle introduction to the subject with a focus on lower curvature bounds and present recent results and open questions about the global topological properties of moduli spaces of nonnegatively curved Riemannian metrics on manifolds, and as well, if time permits, also corresponding facts and questions for the moduli of nonnegative curvature metrics on RCD spaces.

The deviation of the Birkhoff integral for area-preserving flow on compact surfaces was first studied by Forni. He proved that the deviation spectrum was determined by the Lyapunov exponents of a renormalization cocycle so-called Kontsevitch-Zorich cocycle. This deviation result was later proved again by Bufetov and Frączek-Ulcigrai for translation flows and locally Hamiltonian flows for non-degenerate types. In this talk, we study the spectrum for deviations of Birkhoff integrals for locally Hamiltonian flows beyond the case of Forni where the observable vanishes at the singularities. Our new developments include a better understanding of the asymptotics at singularities (degenerate type) and the appearance of a new deviation spectrum. This is a joint work with Krzysztof Frączek.
