Number Theory over Function Fields (5/6)

Atttention : La première Leçon aura lieu à l’Institut Mathématique d’Orsay, Amphi Yoccoz, le 15 mai à 14hRetrouvez toutes ces informations sur le site de la Fondation Mathématique Jacques Hadamard :https://fondation-hadamard.fr/en/articles/2023/01/20/hadamard-lectures-2023/Abstract:Since Weil, mathematicians have understood that there is a deep analogy between the ordinary integers and polynomials in one variable over a finite field, as well as between number fields and the fields of functions on algebraic curves over finite fields. Using this, we can take classical problems in number theory and consider their analogues involving polynomials over finite fields, to which new geometric techniques can be applied that aren’t available in the classical setting. In this course, I will survey recent progress on such problems.Specifically, I will try to highlight how the geometric perspective produces connections to other areas of mathematics, including how the circle method for counting solutions to Diophantine equations can be used to study the topology of moduli spaces of curves in varieties, how geometric approaches to the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics and their generalizations motivate new results of a purely probabilistic nature, and how the analytic theory of automorphic forms over function fields is connected to geometric Langlands theory.

Exponential Mixing of Frame Flows for Geometrically Finite Hyperbolic Manifolds

Let M be a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold, that is, a hyperbolic manifold with a fundamental domain consisting of a finitely-sided polyhedron. There exists a unique measure on the unit tangent bundle invariant under the geodesic flow with maximal entropy, and we consider its lift to the frame bundle. In joint work with Pratyush Sarkar and Wenyu Pan, we prove that the frame flow is exponentially mixing with respect to this measure. To establish exponential mixing, we base ourselves on the countable coding of the flow and a version of Dolgopyat’s method, à la Sarkar-Winter and Tsujii-Zhang. To overcome the difficulty of the fractal structure in applying Dolgopyat’s method, we prove a large deviation property for symbolic recurrence to the large subsets.

On the Inverse Problem for Isometry Groups of Norms

We study the problem of determining when a compact group can be realized as the group of isometries of a norm on a finite-dimensional real vector space. This problem turns out to be difficult to solve in full generality, but we manage to understand the connected groups that arise as connected components of isometry groups. The classification we obtain is related to transitive actions on spheres (Borel, Montgomery-Samelson) on the one hand and to prehomogeneous spaces (Vinberg, Sato-Kimura) on the other. Joint work with Martin Liebeck, Assaf Naor and Aluna Rizzoli.

Resurgence in Integrable Field Theories

We review recent progress in understanding the resurgent properties of integrable field theories in two dimensions. After a brief recap on elementary notions about Borel resummations, we start with a quick historical detour on the study of the large order behaviour of perturbation theory in quantum field theory (QFT) before the advent of resurgence. We then introduce basic notions of resurgence and apply it on three well-known integrable field theories which are UV-free, develop a mass gap in the IR, admit a 1/N expansion, and present the so called renormalon singularities. The interplay between resurgent properties and the 1/N expansion is discussed. The observable of interest is the free energy in the presence of a chemical potential coupled to a conserved charge, which can be computed exactly with thermodynamic Bethe ansatz techniques and/or large N QFT methods. Results at finite N will also be reviewed.

A Mass Identity for the 2D XY Model

Probability and analysis informal seminarThe 2D XY model has attracted attention of physicists and mathematicians for several decades. One way to understand this model is through its dual height function. Recent developments make it possible to show that the phase transitions of the two models coincide. At the core of the proof is a new perspective on the Symanzik/Brydges–Fröhlich–Spencer random walk. The talk is based on arXiv:2301.06905 (Bijecting the BKT transition) and arXiv:2211.14365 (A dichotomy theory for height functions).  ========Pour être informé des prochains séminaires vous pouvez vous abonner à la liste de diffusion en écrivant un mail à sympa@listes.math.cnrs.fr avec comme sujet: « subscribe seminaire_mathematique PRENOM NOM »(indiquez vos propres prénom et nom) et laissez le corps du message vide.

Upper Tail Large Deviations for Chemical Distance in Supercritical Percolation

Probability and analysis informal seminarWe consider supercritical bond percolation on $Z^d$ and study the chemical distance, i.e., the graph distance on the infinite cluster. It is well-known that there exists a deterministic constant μ(x) such that the chemical distance D(0,nx) between two connected points 0 and nx grows like nμ(x). We prove the existence of the rate function for the upper tail large deviation event {D(0,nx)>nμ(x)(1+ϵ),0↔nx} for d>=3.  Joint work with Shuta Nakajima.  ========Pour être informé des prochains séminaires vous pouvez vous abonner à la liste de diffusion en écrivant un mail à sympa@listes.math.cnrs.fr avec comme sujet: « subscribe seminaire_mathematique PRENOM NOM »(indiquez vos propres prénom et nom) et laissez le corps du message vide.

Advances in Nonlinear Analysis and Nonlinear Waves, a conference in honor of Frank Merle

Advances in Nonlinear Analysis and Nonlinear WavesFrank Merle, a mathematician, and holder of the Université de Cergy-Pontoise – IHES Chair in Analysis has made many important and seminal contributions to the qualitative study of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations coming from Physics. Merle’s work has been pioneering in the sharp analysis of blowup solutions, and the collision of solitons, as well as in the soliton resolution conjecture. His groundbreaking works have been very influential in the field and beyond.Throughout his career, Frank Merle received many distinctions, including:ICM Invited Speaker (1998)Bôcher Memorial Prize – American Mathematical Society (2005)Silver Medal – Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (2005)ERC Advanced Grant « Blow-up, Dispersion and Solitons » (2011)ICM Plenary Speaker (2014)Grand prix Ampère de l’électricité de France – French Academy of Sciences (2018)Member of the Academia Europaea (2020)The scientific objective of the conference is twofold. First, several experts in the field of dispersive and wave equations will present their recent advances. A second objective is to propose some conferences in analysis beyond the field of dispersive PDEs. The Scientific Committee hopes that all talks will be accessible to a general audience in analysis.Scientific Committee: M. Dafermos, A.-L. Dalibard, H. Duminil-Copin, T. Duyckaerts, E. Hebey, Y.
