[Title] Isotropy Irreducible Varieties and Complex Contact Geometry

[Discipline] Geometry

[Abstract]Isotropy irreducible spaces are first introduced by Riemannian geometers, as homogeneous real manifolds carrying a canonical invariant metric. Such spaces are classified by Manturov (1960s), Wolf (1968) and Krämer (1975), and their classification provides a number of interesting new examples, for example satisfying the Einstein condition. In this talk, I will introduce a complexified version of isotropy irreducible space, which is called isotropy irreducible variety. In the first half, I will explain geometric properties of isotropy irreducible varieties, and give several non-classical examples belonging to algebraic geometry. Next, I will present a connection between isotropy irreducible varieties and complex contact geometry, which has not been observed in the real setting.

[Title] Right-angled Artin groups and their automorphism groups

[Discipline] Group Theory

[Abstract]Right-angled Artin groups are fascinating objects in geometric topology and geometric group theory. They play a central role in Ian Agol’s proof of Thurston’s virtual fibering and virtual Haken conjectures, providing numerous examples in the field of geometric group theory. In this talk, we will focus on their automorphism groups and outer automorphism groups. I will introduce these groups from a group-theoretic perspective, covering aspects such as finite generation and the standard representation. If time permits, we will also explore the relationship between Gromov-hyperbolicity and the outer automorphism groups.

[Title] Personalized Digital Medicine for Mood & Sleep disorders using mathematical models

[Discipline] Mathematical Biology

[Abstract]
Mood and sleep disorders are common in today’s society, often linked to irregular sleep patterns and disrupted circadian rhythms. However, it is difficult to measure circadian rhythms directly, making the relationship between these factors unclear. In this talk, we show how mathematical models, applied to data from wearable devices, can help predict changes in circadian rhythms and clarify the connection between sleep patterns and mood. We also discuss the potential for using these models to develop personalized digital treatments for mood and sleep disorders.[Language] Korean but English if it is requested

[Title] Colorful intersecting patterns of convex sets
[Discipline] Combinatorics
[Abstract]
In d-dimensional Euclidean space R^d, any set of d+1 points is linearly dependent, meaning they can be partitioned into two parts, say A and B, such that the subspace spanned by A and B intersect nontrivially. Similarly, d+2 points in R^d have affine dependency, and Radon’s theorem asserts that this dependency gives a partition that their convex hull intersect. In this talk, we will see fundamental results in combinatorial geometry including Tverberg’s, Caratheodory’s, and Helly’s theorem in a linear algebraic point of view. We will also discuss various generalizations of these theorems, including colorful and fractional versions.

[Title] Uniqueness and Stability of Riemann shocks to compressible Euler system in a class of inviscid limits
[Discipline] Analysis (of PDEs)
[Abstract]
In this talk, we will discuss the uniqueness and stability of a Riemann shock solution to the compressible Euler system, which is a self-similar entropy solution connecting two different constant states, in a physical vanishing viscosity limits. We focus on the one dimensional compressible full Euler system and consider the Brenner-Navier-Stokes-Fourier system, which is an amendment of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system, to describe the physical perturbation class. (This is a joint work with Moon-Jin Kang (KAIST) and Saehoon Eo (Stanford University).

[Title] Analytic shape recovery of an elastic inclusion from elastic moment tensors
[Discipline] Inverse problem (Applied mathematics)
[Abstract]
In this presentation, I will present an analytic non-iterative approach for recovering a planar isotropic elastic inclusion embedded in an unbounded medium from the elastic moment tensors (EMTs), which are coefficients for the multipole expansion of field perturbation caused by the inclusion. EMTs contain information about the inclusion’s material and geometric properties and, as is well known, the inclusion can be approximated by a disk from leading-order EMTs. We define the complex contracted EMTs as the linear combinations of EMTs where the expansion coefficients are given from complex-valued background polynomial solutions. By using the layer potential technique for the Lamé system and the theory of conformal mapping, we derive explicit asymptotic formulas in terms of the complex contracted EMTs for the shape of the inclusion, treating the inclusion as a perturbed disk. These formulas lead us to an analytic non-iterative algorithm for elastic inclusion reconstruction using EMTs. We perform numerical experiments to demonstrate the validity and limitations of our proposed method.

[Title] Deformations of Coxeter orbifolds
[Discipline] Geometric Topology
[Abstract]
Given a smooth manifold or orbifold M and a Lie group G acting transitively on a space X, we consider the space of all (G, X)-structures on M up to an appropriate equivalence relation. This space, known as the deformation space of (G, X)-structures on M, encodes information about how one can “deform” the (G, X)-manifold M. In this talk, I will provide a general definition of deformation spaces and character varieties, which capture the local structure of the deformation space. Additionally, I will introduce a class of orbifolds called the Coxeter orbifolds, for which deformation spaces can be computed using an approach due to the foundational work of E. Vinberg.

[Title] The Hardy type inequality on the bounded domain with mean zero condition
[Discipline] Analysis, PDE
[Abstract]
This talk aims to consider the attainability of the Hardy-type inequality in the bounded smooth domain with average-zero type constraint. Since the criteria of the attainability depends to the concentration-compactness type arguments, we will briefly introduce the results for some classical Hardy-type inequalities and the concentration-compactness arguments. Subsequently, we propose new function spaces that well define the new inequalities. Finally, we will discuss the attainability of the optimal constant of the inequality in the general smooth domain.

[Title] Long-time behavior of viscous-dispersive shock for the Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations
[Discipline] Analysis
[Abstract]
We consider the Naiver-Stokes-Korteweg(NSK) equations for the dynamics of compressible barotropic viscous fluids with internal capillarity. We handle the time-asymptotic stability in 1D of the viscous-dispersive shock wave that is a traveling wave solution to NSK as a viscous-dispersive counterpart of a Riemann shock. More precisely, we prove that when the prescribed far-field states of NSK are connected by a single Hugoniot curve, then solutions of NSK tend to the viscous-dispersive shock wave as time goes to infinity. To obtain the convergence, we extend the theory of a-contraction with shifts, used for the Navier-Stokes equations, to the NSK system. The main difficulty in analysis for NSK is due to the third-order derivative terms of the specific volume in the momentum equation. To resolve the problem, we introduce an auxiliary variable that is equivalent to the derivative of the specific volume.
