[Seminar] "Two Mysteries of the Bacterial Flagellum" by Shinichi Aizawa, in L5D23

Shinichi Aizawa is Professor Emeritus at the Prefectural University of Hiroshima currently visiting OIST through the Visiting Program (TSVP). He is considered one of the world’s foremost experts in the structure and function of bacterial flagella. His contributions to solving flagellar polymorphism are very highly regarded, and his book “The Flagellar World” has become a standard textbook in the field.

[Seminar] "Resurgence and Exact results in Supersymmetric gauge theories" by Masazumi Honda

Discussion seminar, 2pm in L5EF06 (part of TSVP Thematic Program "Exact Asymptotics: From Fluid Dynamics to Quantum Geometry")

In the past decades, there appeared many exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories thanks to localization method. These exact results are useful to study properties of perturbative series in quantum field theory (QFT) especially in the following two senses. First we can systematically analyze perturbative series around (non-)trivial saddle points in QFT...

[Seminar] "Borel Summability of WKB Solutions for Higher-Order Equations" by Nikita Nikolaev

Discussion seminar, 2pm in L5EF06 (part of TSVP Thematic Program "Exact Asymptotics: From Fluid Dynamics to Quantum Geometry")

Abstract: I will explain in some detail my recent proof of Borel summability of WKB solutions of singularly perturbed higher-order linear ODEs. The proof consists of reducing the problem to a matrix Riccati differential equation in a standard form. Applying the Borel transform, we get a nonlinear PDE which we solve using the method of successive approximations. The biggest challenge is to show that this solution can be analytically continued along a ray in the Borel plane, and this involves keeping track of an interesting Stokes phenomenon.
