2026 Analysis on Metric Space Seminar: "On Mappings Generating Embedding Operators in Sobolev Classes on Metric Measure Spaces" by Prof.Alexander Menovschikov, HSE University
Let X =(X,ρ,µ) be a doubling metric measure space which supports the weak p-Poincar´e inequality. We consider bi-measurable homeomorphisms φ : Ω → Ω, of bounded domains Ω, Ω ⊂ X, which generate bounded composition operators on Newtonian–Sobolev spaces N1,p(Ω) → N1,q(Ω),1 < q ≤ p < ∞. We prove the Luzin N−1-property of such mappings with respect to capacities and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on bi-measurable homeomorphisms that generate bounded composition operators on Newtonian–Sobolev spaces. We prove this by using special test functions generated by distance functions. On the base of the composition operators we consider Sobolev type embedding theorems in weak (p,q)-quasiconformal α-regular domains

2026 Analysis on Metric Space Seminar"Base Modulus for Matroid Truncation, Strength, and Fractional Arboricity" by Huy Truong, Kansas State University
In previous work, we studied the -modulus of the family of all bases of a matroid and showed that it recovers several classical concepts in matroid theory, including strength, fractional arboricity, and principal partitions. These results generalize corresponding concepts for spanning trees in graphs. Due to computational constraints, one may impose a bound on the number of elements sampled from a base. For instance, when exploring a tree, we may stop at forests with edges. Such objects are captured by matroid truncations. In this paper, we study the modulus of matroid truncations and determine the universal density for every truncation of a given matroid. As a consequence, we show that the truncation modulus serves as an approximation of the original matroid modulus.

2026 Analysis on Metric Space Seminar: Nonlinear Neumann Eigenvalues in Outward Cuspidal Domains With Weighted Measure" by Professor Alexander Menovschikov, HSE University
We consider the nonlinear Neumann eigenvalue problem in outward cuspidal domains with a weighted measure. Using composition operators on Sobolev spaces, we establish embeddings of Sobolev spaces into weighted Lebesgue spaces. These embeddings give the solvability of the Neumann spectral problem in this setting and provide estimates for the corresponding weighted Neumann eigenvalues

This special exhibition to commemorate Okinawa Memorial Day presents a selection of wartime photographs from the Onna Village Museum Collection. The images provide a visual account of the events of the Battle of Okinawa.
Okinawa Memorial Day, observed on June 23, marks the end of the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 and honors the over 200,000 lives lost, including many civilians. We invite visitors to take a moment to learn more about this battle, and to reflect on the importance of remembrance.
This exhibition offers visitors and the OIST community a chance to delve into Okinawa's rich history and explore a pivotal event that forever transformed life on the island. To learn more about Okinawa Memorial Day (Irei no Hi) and about the Battle of Okinawa, please visit Uchinaa Culture 09 - Irei no Hi ~慰霊の日~
