Join the staff of the Technology Development & Innovation Center for free coffee and snacks and ask them how OIST can help support innovative ideas, prototyping, starting a business, and more. Come any time between 2 pm-4 pm and bring your coffee cup, mask, and boundless curiosity.

Tuesday 9th November 2021, 16:00–17:00 JST (UTC+9), online on Zoom Professor Denis Serre , The UMPA Title: Compensated integrability: classical and singular Divergence-BV symmetric tensors Abstract:

Compensated Integrability is a recent tool of Functional Analysis, which extends both the Gagliardo Inequality and the Isoperimetric Inequality. It concerns the determinant of positive symmetric tensors whose row-wise Divergence is controlled in the space of bounded measures. It is somehow dual to Brenier's Theorem of Optimal Transport. Its applications cover several domains in Mathematical Physics and in Differential Geometry.

沖縄県立芸術大学大学院造形芸術研究科によるアート展がトンネルギャラリーで行われます。この展示会は、2013年に始まったOISTと県立芸大の共同主催イベントで今年で5回目を迎えます。10周年記念事業の一環でもあります。

Prof. Dr. Julijana Gjorgjieva

Assistant Professor in Computational Neuroscience, Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Technical University of Munich

The emergence of organization and computation in neural circuits

How neural circuits become organized during early postnatal development based on patterns of spontaneous activity and different plasticity mechanisms. Prof. Julijana will show the emergence of organization at the sub-cellular and cellular level and discuss implications for computations implemented by these networks. These theoretical models and simulations are supported by experimental data and make numerous predictions for future experiments.

PhD Public Presentation

The colloquium will be held once a month. It will be held online for the time being. Each event consists of a one-hour talk on mathematics followed by a one-hour diversity panel discussion session.

In the mathematics part, we will hear an exciting overview talk for a general audience. October speaker is Megumi Harada, Professor of McMaster University. In the discussion session, we will hear about the speaker's personal journey as a mathematician. You can take inspiration from them and exchange ideas with other participants in a small group. After the sessions are over, there will be a tea time where participants can chat freely.

You can join Part I only or both parts of the colloquium. Please register before Oct 18th, 5 pm. Click here to register!

Analysis on Metric Spaces Fall Seminar

Title: Quasiconformal and Sobolev mappings in metric measure spaces

Speaker: Panu Lahti, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Abstract: Starting from Gehring, the equivalence between the metric, geometric, and analytic def- initions of quasiconformality has been investigated by various authors. There are many results stating that if a mapping is metrically quasiconformal, perhaps only in a relaxed sense, then it is analytically quasiconformal, or at least a Sobolev mapping. In recent joint work with Xiaodan Zhou, we have shown an improved version of such a result, which seems to detect more Sobolev mappings than previous results in the literature. I will discuss these results as well as the general strategy of the proofs.

Speaker: Paul Wedrich , University of Hamburg Title: Knots and quivers, HOMFLYPT and DT

Professor Alex Iosevich, University of Rochester Title: Finite point configurations and the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension Abstract:

The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension was invented in 1970 to study learning models. This notion has since become one of the cornerstones of modern data science. This beautiful idea has also found applications in other areas of mathematics. In this talk we are going to describe how the study of the VC-dimension in the context of families of indicator functions of spheres centered at points in sets of a given Hausdorff dimension (or in sets of a given size inside vector spaces over finite fields) gives rise to interesting, and in some sense extremal, point configurations.
