The lace expansion in the past, present and future

강연자 : Akira Sakai | 소속 : Hokkaido University
The lace expansion is one of the few methods to rigorously prove critical behavior for various models in high dimensions. It was initiated by David Brydges and Thomas Spencer in 1985 to show degeneracy of the critical behavior for weakly self-avoiding walk in d > 4 dimensions to that for random walk. This is one of the reasons Brydges was awarded the Poincaré Prize at ICMP this summer. Self-avoiding walk is a standard model for linear polymers in a good solvent. Other models to which the lace expansion has been successfully applied are percolation, lattice trees/animals, the contact process, the Ising and phi^4 models. In the colloquium talk, I will explain the lace expansion for self-avoiding walk (past) and how it has been extended to other models listed above (present). If time permits, I will also explain the current status of my ongoing work on the lace expansion for self-avoiding walk on random conductors (future).

<학부생을 위한 ɛ 강연> 색과 그래프: 그래프 색칠 문제의 매력과 도전

강연자 : 박보람 | 소속 : 아주대학교
그래프 색칠 문제는 그래프 이론에서 중요한 주제로, 인접한 두 정점이 같은 색을 가지지 않도록 그래프를 색칠하는 방법을 연구합니다. 이는 단순한 퍼즐처럼 보일 수 있지만, 수학적 깊이와 다양한 응용 가능성을 지니고 있습니다. 이번 강연에서는 그래프 색칠 문제의 역사적 배경과 기본 개념을 소개하고, 4색 정리와 같은 유명한 정리와 다양한 연구 방향, 매력적인 추측들을 소개합니다.

Regularity theory for nonlocal equations

강연자 : 김민현 | 소속 : 한양대학교
Nonlocal equations, often modeled using the fractional Laplacian, have received significant attention in recent years. In this talk, we will briefly overview how the classical regularity theory for second-order (elliptic) PDEs (in divergence form) has been extended to fractional-order nonlocal equations. We will explore the Schauder, De Giorgi–Nash–Moser, Morrey–Campanato, and Calderón–Zygmund theories, and present some open problems in these fields.

Homogeneous dynamics and its application to number theory

강연자 : 임선희 | 소속 : 서울대학교
Homogeneous dynamics, the theory of flows on homogeneous spaces, has been proved useful for certain problems in Number theory.
In this talk, we will explain what kind of geometry and dynamics we need to solve certain number theoretic questions such as counting matrices of integer entries, or some problems in Diophantine approximation. The appropriate manifold can often be seen as a space of lattices, and its asymptotic geometry is governed by the smallest length of a non-zero vector in a given lattice, which is also the backbone of post-quantum cryptography.
We will then explain how (partial) solutions of Oppenheim conjecture and Littlewood conjecture were obtained using homogeneous dynamics. We will also survey some recent results and remaining challenges.

On classification of long-term dynamics for some critical PDEs

강연자 : 김기현 | 소속 : 서울대학교
This talk concerns the problem of classifying long-term dynamics for critical evolutionary PDEs. I will first discuss what the critical PDEs are and soliton resolution for these equations. Building upon soliton resolution, I will further introduce the classification problem. Finally, I will also touch on a potential instability mechanism of finite-time singularities for some critical PDEs, suggesting the global existence of generic solutions.

Structural stability of meandering-hyperbolic group actions

강연자 : 김성운 | 소속 : 제주대학교
Sullivan sketched a proof of his structural stability theorem for differentiabl group actions satisfying certain expansion-hyperbolicity axioms. We relax Sullivan’s axioms and introduce a notion of meandering hyperbolicity for group actions on geodesic metric spaces. This generalization is substantial enough to encompass actions of certain nonhyperbolic groups, such as actions of uniform lattices in semisimple Lie groups on flag manifolds. At the same time, our notion is sufficiently robust, and we prove that meandering-hyperbolic actions are still structurally stable. We also prove some basic results on meandering-hyperbolic actions and give other examples of such actions. This is a joint work with Michael Kapovich and Jaejeong Lee.

Regularity for non-uniformly elliptic problems

강연자 : 오제한 | 소속 : 경북대학교
In this talk, we investigate some regularity results for non-uniformly elliptic problems. We first present uniformly elliptic problems and the definition of non-uniform ellipticity. We then introduce a double phase problem which is characterized by the fact that its ellipticity rate and growth radically change with the position. We show gradient Hölder continuity and Calderón-Zygmund type estimates for distributional solutions to double phase problems in divergence form. We next introduce a general class of degenerate/singular fully nonlinear elliptic equations which covers the problems of double phase type. We provide C^1 regularity under minimal assumptions on associated operators whose ellipticity may degenerate or blow up along a region where the gradient of a viscosity solution vanishes.
