During the past 10 years, most of acoustic metamaterial research has been done within a theoretical frame in which the medium is at rest. However, such acoustic metamaterials cannot preserve their unique properties or functions in the presence of ow. For example, the well-known acoustic cloak for a cylindrical object fails even at low subsonic flow. In a previous study, the wave operator couldn't take into account the effect of non-uniformity of the flow around the metamaterial as well as the density inhomogeneity due to the compressibility of fluid. Therefore, in this study, we propose a theoretical framework to consider the effect of non-uniform mean flow on acoustic metamaterials aiming at understanding the underlying physics and designing a new type of acoustic metamaterial.

Cellular adhesion is one of the most important interaction force between cells and other tissue components. In 2006, Armstrong, Painter and Sherratt introduced a non-local PDE model for cellular adhesion, which was able to describe known experimental results on cell sorting and cancer growth. While the numerical implementation leads to nice results, the analysis of this non-local model is challenging. In this talk I will present a random walk derivation of the Armstrong-Painter-Sherratt adhesion model, I will discuss local and global existence of solutions, and the underlying bifurcation structure of steady states. (joint work with A. Buttenschoen, K. Painter, A. Gerisch, M. Winkler).

Computational electromagnetics (CEM) that develops efficient algorithms for solving Maxwell's equations has been a popular subfield of applied mathematics since the invention of computers.  Computational nanophotonics applies the CEM techniques to studying nanophotonics, a field of optics that concerns the interaction of light with nanometer-scale objects.  However, nanophotonics poses new challenges to CEM, because physical conditions of interest in nanophotonics are very different from those in micro- and radio-wave engineering, which have been the main application areas of CEM.  In this talk, I will discuss three exemplary nanophotonic contexts whose unique physical conditions give rise to unexpected computational challenges: plasmonics, dynamic modulation, and nanophotonic laser design.  I will demonstrate that it is possible to overcome such challenges by developing new computational techniques.

The first example is plasmonics.  Plasmonics is a subfield of nanophotonics that studies the interaction of light with metals.  The unique physical condition faced in plasmonics is the significant reduction of wavelength inside metals, which makes Maxwell's equations spatially multiscale.  I will explain how such spatial multiscaling leads to ill-conditioned Maxwell's equations that deteriorates the convergence rate of Krylov subspace solvers.  Then, I will demonstrate that the conditioning of Maxwell's equations can be significantly improved by simply choosing the correct absorbing boundary condition.  Additionally, I will introduce a technique to engineer the eigenvalue spectrum of the Maxwell operator, which gives us insight into the relationship between the eigenvalue spectrum and the convergence rate of Krylov subspace solvers.

The second example is dynamic modulation.  In the context of nanophotonics, dynamic modulation refers to a technique to modulate the electric permittivity of media in time.  This technique is useful for realizing novel nanophotonic components such as optical isolators by breaking time-reversal symmetry.  The unique physical condition faced in dynamic modulation is the huge contrast in frequency between optical signals (~THz) and modulation (~GHz), which makes Maxwell's equations temporally multiscale.  I will explain how such temporal multiscaling makes it practically impossible to use the popular time-domain solvers of Maxwell's equations in modeling dynamic modulation.  Then, I will introduce a new frequency-domain solution technique that models dynamic modulation by incorporating multiple frequency components.

The third and last example is nanophotonic laser design.  In order to design and test nanometer-scale lasing devices computationally, it is necessary to solve the equation dictating the behavior of laser modes.  Such an equation is a nonlinear eigenvalue equation described by the steady-state ab initio laser theory (SALT).  The computational difficulty in solving the SALT equation is that the equation is nonholomorphic (i.e., nondifferentiable in the complex domain) and therefore the Newton–Raphson method, which is the method of choice for solving large-scale nonlinear eigenvalue equations, is inapplicable.  I will explain how to overcome this difficulty with my implicit Newton step calculation technique that allows us to apply the Newton–Raphson method even to nonholomorphic equations.

The techniques used to overcome computational obstacles in these three examples have been successfully applied to real-world engineering problems.  I will showcase several nanophotonic components designed with my computational techniques.

In this talk, I will explain how one can generalise the cosmetic surgery conjecture under the assumption of another well-known conjecture in number theory, so called the Zilber-Pink conjecture.

In this talk, we study a rumor spreading model. We employ a steady state analysis to obtain the

final size of the rumor. From the analysis, we can show the existence of a threshold on a momentum
type initial quantity related to rumor outbreak occurrence regardless of the total initial population. Moreover, we consider several cases of generalization of the rumor spreading model and rumor outbreak.

I will introduce the dual of the formal affine Demazure algebra, which is the algebraic replacement of T-equivariant oriented cohomology of complete flag variety. I will also mention the proof of the generalized Borel Isomorphism. In the second half of this talk, I will define the two Hecke actions on the dual of the formal affine Demazure algebra. Then I will define the push-pull operators of the oriented cohomology and define perfect pairings on the equivariant cohomology of complete and partial flag varieties.  I will also mention hyperbolic cohomology and its relation with Kazhdan-Lusztig basis.

Bootstrap percolation is a simple process which is used as a model of propagation phenomena in real world networks including, for example, the spread of a rumour in a social network, the dynamics of ferromagnetism and information processing in neural networks. Given a graph G and an integer r, the r-neighbour bootstrap process begins with a set of “infected” vertices and, in each step, a “healthy” vertex becomes infected if it has at least r infected neighbours. A central problem in the area is to determine the size of the smallest initial infection which will spread to every vertex of the graph. In this talk, I will present a trick for obtaining lower bounds on this quantity by transforming the problem into an infection problem on the edges of the graph and applying some basic facts from linear algebra. In particular, I will outline a proof of a conjecture of Balogh and Bollobás (2006) on the smallest infection which spreads to every vertex of a high-dimensional square lattice and mention some potential applications to analysing the behaviour of a random infection in this setting. This talk is based on joint work with Natasha Morrison.

본 강연에서는 산업계에서 실제 적용되고 있는 산업수학의 예제들을 소개하고 계산 유체역학 분야의 특허와 관련하여 제안할 수 있는 아이디어를 논하고자 한다. 주된 논의점은 어떻게 산업수학이 산업계가 대면하고 있는 실질적인 문제들에 의미있는 해법을 제시할 수 있는지에 있다. 이를 위해서, 첫 번째로 수치 편미방 분야의 예제를 설명한다. 수치 편미분 방정식에서 가장 기본적으로 사용되는 방법론을 설명하고 계산 유체 역학의 실무적 관점에서 이해될 수 있는 근본적 문제들을 토론해본다. 더불어 현실적인 측면을 반영한 알고리즘을 생각해 보고, 산업수학자에게 의미있는 문제들을 제시하고자 한다. 두 번째 예제에서는 최적화 기법을 이용해서 간단한 2차원 스케치로부터 3차원 모델을 구성하는 모형을 논의한다. 실제로 만화 제작에 쓰이는 이 알고리즘으로부터 응용될 수 있는 문제들도 다룰 예정이다. 셋째, 영상처리분야에서의 Euler’s elastica를 효율적으로 계산하는 방법론을 간단히 설명하고, 이를 바탕으로 실무에 적용 가능한 연구 방향을 논의해 본다.

Hyperbolic dynamical systems are nowadays fairly well understood from the topological and ergodic point of view. In this talk, we discuss some recent and ongoing works on the dynamics beyond hyperbolicity. In the ﬁrst part, we will provide a characterization of robustly shadowable chain transitive sets for C1-vector ﬁelds on compact smooth manifolds. In the second part, we extend the concepts of topological stability and pseudo-orbit tracing property from homeomorphisms to Borel measures, and prove that every expansive measure with the pseudo-orbit tracing property is topologically stable. This represents a measurable version of the stability theorem by Peter Walters. The ﬁrst part is joint work with M. Reza, and the second part is joint work with C.A. Morales.

The geometry of the moduli space of sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^2$ has been studied in various viewpoints, for instance curve counting, the strange duality conjecture, and birational geometry via Bridgeland stability. For small degree cases, it was possible to classify all rational contractions and compute the cohomology ring of the moduli space.

In this talk, we consider the next simplest case of a quadric surface. We construct a flip between the moduli space of sheaves and a projective bundle, and show that their common blown-up space is the moduli space of stable pairs. In principle, this enable us to compute the cohomology ring of the moduli space from that of the projective bundle.

In the absence of the entropy condition, we construct an $L^\infty$ solution to the Cauchy problem of a scalar conservation law in one space dimension that exhibits microscopic oscillation in the interior of its support when the initial function is non-constant, continuous and compactly supported. As a result, such a solution is nowhere continuous in the interior of the support. Our method of proof is to convert the main equation into a suitable partial differential inclusion and to rely on the convex integration method of M\"uller and \v{S}ver\'ak. In doing so, we find an appropriate subsolution by solving certain ordinary differential equations and make use of it to tailor an in-approximation scheme that reflects persistence of oscillations.

In a constantly changing world, animals must account for fluctuations and changes in their environment when making decisions. They must make use of recent information, and appropriately discount older, irrelevant information. But to do so they need to learn the rate at which the environment changes. Recent experimental studies show that humans and other animals can indeed do so.  However it it is unclear what underlying computations they use to achieve this. Developing normative models of evidence accumulation is a first step in quantifying such decision-making processes. While optimal, these algorithms are computationally intensive. To address this problem we developed an approximation of the normative inference process, and show how this approximate computation can be implemented in neural circuits. In the second part of the talk I will discuss evidence accumulation on networks where private information can be shared between neighboring nodes.
