Modular forms continue to attract attention for decades with many different application areas. To study statistical properties of modular forms, including for instance Sato-Tate like problems, it is essential to be able to compute a large number of Fourier coefficients. In this talk, firstly, we will show that this can be achieved in level 4 for a large range of half-integral weights by making use of one of three explicit bases, the elements of which can be calculated via fast power series operations. After having "many" Fourier coefficients, it is time to ask the following question: Can the dis- tribution of normalised Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight level 4 Hecke eigenforms with bounded indices be approximated by a distribution? We will suggest that they follow the generalised Gaussian distribution and give some numerical evidence for that. Finally, we will see that the appar- ent symmetry around zero of the data lends strong evidence to the Bruinier- Kohnen Conjecture on the equidistribution of signs and even suggests the strengthening that signs and absolute values are distributed independently. This is joint work with Gabor Wiese (Luxembourg), Zeynep Demirkol Ozkaya (Van) and Elif Tercan (Bilecik).

Diophantine equations involving specific number sequences have attracted considerable attention. For instance, studying when a Tribonacci number can be expressed as the product of two Fibonacci numbers is an interesting problem. In this case, the corresponding Diophantine equation has only two nontrivial integer solutions. While finding these solutions is relatively straightforward, proving that no further solutions exist requires a rigorous argument-this is where Baker’s method plays a crucial role. After conducting a comprehensive literature review on the topic, we present our recent results on Diophantine equations involving Fibonacci, Tribonacci, Jacobsthal, and Perrin numbers. Furthermore, as an application of Baker’s method, we will briefly demonstrate how linear forms in logarithms can be effectively applied to Diophantine equations involving Fibonacci-like sequences. This is joint work with Zeynep Demirkol Ozkaya (Van), Zekiye Pinar Cihan (Bilecik) and Meltem Senadim (Bilecik).

De novo mutations provide a powerful source of information for identifying risk genes associated with phenotypes under selection, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), congenital heart disease, and schizophrenia (SCZ). However, identifying de novo variants is costly, as it requires trio-based sequencing to obtain parental genotypes. To address this limitation, we propose a method to infer inheritance class using only offspring genetic data. In our new integrated model, we evaluate variation in case and control samples, attempt to distinguish de novo mutations from inherited variation, and incorporate this information into a gene-based association framework. We validate our method through ASD gene identification, demonstrating that it provides a robust and powerful approach for identifying risk genes.

Abstract: In this talk, we discuss the global-in-time existence of strong solutions to the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes system. Classical results establish only local-in-time existence under the assumption that the initial data are smooth and the initial density remains uniformly positive. These results can be extended to global-in-time existence using the relative entropy and Bresch-Desjardins entropy under the same hypotheses. This approach allows for possibly different end states and degenerate viscosity. Reference: A. Mellet and A.

Abstract : When a plane shock hits a wedge head on, it experiences a reflection diffraction process and then a self-similar reflected shock moves outward as the original shock moves forward in time. In particular, the C^{1,1}-regularity is optimal for the solution across the pseudo-sonic circle and at the point where the pseudo-sonic circle meets the reflected shock where the wedge has large-angle. Also, one can obtain the C^{2,\alpha} regularity of the solution up to the pseudo-sonic circle in the pseudo-subsonic region. Reference : Myoungjean Bae, Gui-Qiang Chen, and Mikhail Feldman.
