Title: How do quantum systems see each other?

Abstract: I will discuss what happens when you use quantum systems as frames of reference and how this might help us understand more about the structure of spacetime in a theory that encompasses both quantum and relativity theory.

Professor Galia Dafni , Concordia University Title: Boundedness and continuity of rearrangements in BMO and VMO Abstract:

Joint work with Almut Burchard (Toronto) and Ryan Gibara (Cincinnati). Let \(f\) be a function of bounded mean oscillation (BMO) on cubes in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(n > 1\). If \(f\) is rearrangeable, we show that its symmetric decreasing rearrangement\(Sf\) belongs to \(\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^n)\). We also improve the bounds for the decreasing rearrangement \(f^*\) by Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley, \(\|f^*\|_{ \mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}_+)} \leq C_n\|f\| _{\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^n)}\), by eliminating the exponential dependence of \(C_n\) on the dimension \(n\). The key is to switch from cubes to a comparable family of shapes. Using a family of rectangles that is preserved under bisections, one can prove a dimension-free Calder\'on-Zygmund decomposition, and the boundedness of the decreasing rearrangement with the same constant. Restricting to the subspace of functions of vanishing mean oscillation (VMO), we show that these rearrangements take VMO functions to VMO functions. Furthermore, while the map from \(f\) to \(f^*\) is not continuous in the BMO seminorm, we prove continuity when the limit is in VMO.

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.
