In a wide class of random constraint satisfaction problems, ideas from statistical physics predict that there is a rich set of phase transitions governed by one-step replica symmetry breaking (1RSB). In particular, it is conjectured that for models in the 1RSB universality class, the solution space condenses into large clusters, just below the satisfiability threshold. We establish this phenomenon for the first time for random regular NAE-SAT in the condensation regime. That is, most of the solutions lie in a bounded number of clusters and the overlap of two independent solutions concentrates on two points. Central to the proof is to calculate the moments of the number of clusters whose size is in an O(1) window. This is joint work with Danny Nam and Allan Sly.

Abstract: In combinatorics, Hopf algebras appear naturally when studying various classes of combinatorial objects, such as graphs, matroids, posets or symmetric functions. Given such a class of combinatorial objects, basic information on these objects regarding assembly and disassembly operations are encoded in the algebraic structure of a Hopf algebra. One then hopes to use algebraic identities of a Hopf algebra to return to combinatorial identities of combinatorial objects of interest. In this talk, I introduce a general class of combinatorial objects, which we call multi-complexes, which simultaneously generalizes graphs, hypergraphs and simplicial and delta complexes. I also introduce a combinatorial Hopf algebra obtained from multi-complexes. Then, I describe the structure of the Hopf algebra of multi-complexes by finding an explicit basis of the space of primitives, which is of combinatorial relevance. If time permits, I will illustrate some potential applications. This is joint work with Miodrag Iovanov.

The exponential random graph model (ERGM) is a version of the Erdos-Renyi graphs, obtained by tilting according to the subgraph counting Hamiltonian. Despite its importance in the theory of random graphs, lots of fundamental questions have remained unanswered owing to the lack of exact solvability. In this talk, I will introduce a series of new concentration of measure results for the ERGM in the entire sub-critical phase, including a Poincare inequality, Gaussian concentration, and a central limit theorem. Joint work with Shirshendu Ganguly.

In the theory of turbulence, a famous conjecture of Onsager asserts that the threshold Hölder regularity for the total kinetic energy conservation of (spatially periodic) Euler flows is 1/3. In particular, there are Hölder continuous Euler flows with Hölder exponent less than 1/3 exhibiting strict energy dissipation, as proved recently by Isett. In light of these developments, I'll discuss Hölder continuous Euler flows which not only have energy dissipation but also satisfy a local energy inequality.

A graph $H$ is \emph{common} if the number of monochromatic copies of $H$ in a 2-edge-colouring of the complete graph $K_n$ is minimised by the random colouring. Burr and Rosta, extending a famous conjecture by Erd\H{o}s, conjectured that every graph is common. The conjectures by Erd\H{o}s and by Burr and Rosta were disproved by Thomason and by Sidorenko, respectively, in the late 1980s. Despite its importance, the full classification of common graphs is still a wide open problem and has not seen much progress since the early 1990s. In this lecture, I will present some old and new techniques to prove whether a graph is common or not.

Abstract: Ramsey's theorem states that, for a fixed graph $H$, every 2-edge-colouring of $K_n$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$ whenever $n$ is large enough. Perhaps one of the most natural questions after Ramsey's theorem is then how many copies of monochromatic $H$ can be guaranteed to exist. To formalise this question, let the \emph{Ramsey multiplicity} $M(H;n)$ be the minimum number of labelled copies of monochromatic $H$ over all 2-edge-colouring of $K_n$. We define the \emph{Ramsey multiplicity constant} $C(H)$ is defined by $C(H):=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{M(H,n)}{n(n-1)\cdots(n-v+1)}$. I will discuss various bounds for C(H) that are known so far.

In this introductory talk, we will discuss how to describe and study various hydrodynamic models in Lagrangian variables, following the framework introduced by Constantin. In a unified framework and with less regularity, local well-posedness theory can be established for a range of models, including the incompressible Euler equation, the surface quasi-geostrophic equation, the Boussinesq system, the Oldroyd-B system, and more.

For a very ample line bundle L on a projective scheme X, we say that (X,L) satisfies property QR(k) if the homogeneous ideal of the linearly normal embedding can be generated by quadrics of rank <= k. Many classical varieties such as Segre-Veronese embeddings, rational normal scrolls and curves of high degree satisfy the property QR(4). In this talk, we will briefly show that the second and higher Veronese embeddings satisfies the property QR(3). And we will discuss about the asymptotic behavior of property QR(3) for any projective scheme.

In this talk, I will give some existence results on nontrivial solutions of Kirchhoff type problem by the variational methods. In this first parts, the bound state solutions of this problem with a critical exponent have been obtained by deformation results after a local compactness result has been recovered. We found a different and interesting results when this problem is considered in a high dimension N larger than 4. In the second parts, I will give some results on semi-classical solutions

In this talk, we are concerned with dynamically stability of uniformly rotating binary stars and galaxies, which are represented as stationary solutions to Euler-Poisson equations and VlasovPoisson equations respectively. These solutions were constructed as minimizers of suitable variational problems by McCann in which some kind of structural stability on them is discussed. This talk focuses on the nonlinear dynamical stability of them, based on Cazenave-Lions type arguments exploiting variational characterization of stationary solutions. We will see that the uniqueness of a minimizer, which is one of the main results of our work, plays an indispensable role in analysis. This talk is based on a joint work with Prof. Juhi Jang at USC.

Algebraic fibre spaces are relative versions of algebraic varieties. For an algebraic fibre space f:X->Y, the varieties X,Y and the general fibre F are deeply related by various formulas and conjectures on the invariants of varieties. For example, the Iitaka conjecture is still an open problem which predicts that the Kodaira dimension of X is at least the sum of kodaira dimensions of F and Y. We explain how the geometry of algebraic fibre spaces can be studied by convex bodies called Okounkov bodies.

The existence of Kaehler-Einstein metric and Kaehler-Einstein edge metric on n-dimensional complex varieties is related to the existence of Sasaki-Einstein metric on links over the varieties which is (2n+1)-dimensional real manifolds. We discuss results about existence problem of the both metrics on weighted log del Pezzo surfaces and links over the surfaces that are 5-dimensional Smale manifolds.

The mean curvature flow is an evolution of hypersurfaces satisfying a geometric heat equation. The flow changes its topology through singularities, and there are infinitely many singularity models. However, the flow is a gradient flow of an entropy functional, and there are only a few linearly stable singularities. Hence, one can conjecture that some perturbations of initial hypersurfaces would make the perturbed flows avoid linearly unstable singularities. In this talk, we will discuss how to use ancient flows for the avoidance of unstable singularities, and its application to the knot theory.

The idea of using homogeneous dynamics to Diophantine approximation has grown to an active subfield of mathematics, with numerous results on Hausdorff dimension of sets of vectors with certain Diophantine properties. In this talk, we will start from scratch, from the Gauss map of the usual continued fraction expansion for real numbers and give a "dynamical interpretation" of Diophantine properties of continued fractions in terms of the orbits of the geodesic flow on the hyperbolic plane. We will then present a series of results of the speaker with coauthors on inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation and give ideas of proofs, especially the idea related to the partial proof of Littlewood conjecture of Einsiedler-Katok-Lindenstrauss. (The latter part of the talk is based on joint works with U. Shapira-N. de Saxce, Y. Bugeaud-Donghan Kim-M. Rams, and Wooyeon Kim-Taehyung Kim.)

The Lamb dipole is a traveling wave solution to the two-dimensional Euler equations introduced by S. A. Chaplygin (1903) and H. Lamb (1906) at the early 20th century. We prove orbital stability of this solution based on a vorticity method initiated by V. I. Arnold. Our method is a minimization of a penalized energy with multiple constraints that deduces existence and orbital stability for a family of traveling waves. As a typical case, orbital stability of the Lamb dipole is deduced by characterizing a set of minimizers as an orbit of the dipole by a uniqueness theorem in the variational setting. This is a joint work with K. Abe (Osaka City Univ).

In this talk, I will present a recent work in collaboration with physicists on the analysis of real time Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images to understand molecular transition from crystal solid state to liquid state. Molecules are deposited on graphene with multilayer structures, which are projected and overlaid in noisy 2d TEM images. The problem is to find all the molecular centers in the extremely noisy 2d images where projected molecules are overlaid and to track the centers across the image frames. Before discussing the method that we considered, I will give a brief history in the development of image segmentation techniques with some theoretical and numerical details of old fashioned methods. Then, our method of image segmentation for molecular center identification follows.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rational number field $\mathbb{Q}$. Selmer Groups and Ideal Class Groups are important and widely-studied objects in number theory. Brumer and Kramer studied relations between these two objects in their paper in 1977. They actually found an upper bound for the $2$-Selmer rank of $E$ in terms of the ideal class group of a certain cubic field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. As an application, they determined the Mordell-Weil ranks of (most) elliptic curves of prime conductor assuming the BSD conjecture. In this talk, we will talk about a generalization of Brumer-Kramer's work to the case of elliptic curves over an arbitary number field. We will give both upper and lower bounds for the $2$-Selmer rank in terms of a (modified) ideal class group, and the bounds turn out to be sharp in many cases. This is joint work with Hwajong Yoo.

Swimming bacteria with helical flagella are self-propelled micro-swimmers in nature, and the swimming strategies of such bacteria vary depending on the number and the position of flagella on the cell body. In this talk, I will introduce some microorganisms such as E. coli, Vibrio A and P putida. The Kirchhoff rod theory is used to model the elastic helical flagella and the cell body is represented by a hollow ellipsoid that can translate and rotate as a neutrally buoyant rigid body interacting with a surrounding fluid. The hydrodynamic interaction between the fluid and the bacteria is described by the regularized version of Stokes flow. I will focus on how bacteria can swim and reorient swimming course for survival and how Mathematics can help to understand the swimming mechanism of such bacteria.
