Before the year 1590 nobody could have guessed that the remote fort and settlement of Edo on the Eastern Kanto plain would, a little over 100 years later, be the world´s largest city with 1.3 million inhabitants. Samurai lord Tokugawa Ieyasu chose Edo as his new capital, and 15 generations of Tokugawa ruled Japan as shogun from Edo Castle. Edo was populated by samurai and townspeople who developed a distinct culture of their own – kabuki, sushi and ukiyoe prints were all part of their lifestyle. Edo also was the first 100% sustainable city in early modern history – nothing was thrown away for good, everything found a place in recycling. Slowly much of what we experience as “typically Japanese” developed in this storied megacity.

We will discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plans for Okinawa, focusing on the partnership system that recognizes sexual minority couples as equivalent to married ones. In February 2024, Okinawa Prefecture announced that the issuance of certificates to publicly certify a couple's relationship, currently limited to residents of Naha and Urasoe cities, will soon be expanded to all areas of the prefecture. The public services provided based on the certificates will be left to the judgment of each municipality and private company. However, the details of the system, including the contact point for issuing the certificates, are still under consideration. The panelists will address the current issues being faced.

The Falling Walls Lab is an interdisciplinary format to showcase the next generation of top researchers developed and hosted annually by the Falling Walls Foundation in Berlin in November. In 3–minute talks, outstanding talents and innovative thinkers share their research projects, business models and social initiatives with an interdisciplinary audience and jury. Academic institutions worldwide are invited to host their own Falling Walls Lab and to send their winner/s to the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin.

Haarii Dragon Boat Race Introduction

Speaker: Professor Jana Björn , Linköping University and OIST TSVP Visiting Scholar Title: The Dirichlet Problem and Boundary Regularity for Nonlinear Parabolic Equations

Abstract: As shown by Serrin in 1964, the growth at an isolated singularity of solutions to the elliptic equation div A(x, ∇u) = 0 in Rn (including p-harmonic functions with p > 1) is exactly determined by the dimension n and the parameter p associated with the equation. In this talk, I will discuss growth and integrability properties for p-harmonic Green functions and their gradients on weighted Rn, with a p-admissible weight, as well as on complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a p-Poincar´e inequality. In these situations, the dimension n is replaced by the local growth of the underlying measure near the isolated singularity, and the obtained growth and integrability exponents are sharp.

QG group meeting. Speaker: Yasha Neiman. Title: "Unfolded formulation of self-dual higher-spin gravity".

Speaker: Professor Anders Björn, Linkoping University and OIST TSVP Visiting Scholar Title: The Dirichlet problem and boundary regularity for nonlinear parabolic equations

Abstract: The p-parabolic equation \[ \partial_t u = \Delta_p u := \dvg(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) \] is a nonlinear cousin of the classical heat equation. As such, it offers both difficulties and advantages compared with the heat equation. In the talk, we consider the Perron method for solving the Dirichlet problem for the p-parabolic equation in general bounded domains in $R^{n+1}$. Compared to space-time cylinders, such domains allow the space domain to change in time. Of particular interest will be boundary regularity for such domains, i.e. whether solutions attain their boundary data in a continuous way. Relations between regular boundary points and barriers will be discussed, as well as some peculiar examples and surprising phenomena related to boundary regularity. Towards the end I will discuss the same type of questions for two other nonlinear cousins of the heat equation, the porous medium equation \[ \partial_t u = \dvg(u^m) \] and the so-called normalized p-parabolic equation \[ \partial_t u = |\nabla u|^{2-p}\Delta_p u. \] The talk is based on collaborations with Jana Bj\"orn (Link\"oping), Ugo Gianazza (Pavia), Mikko Parviainen (Jyv\"askyl\"a) and Juhana Siljander (Jyv\"askyl\"a).
