The original Riemann-Hilbert problem is to construct a liner ordinary differential equation with regular singularities whose solutions have a given monodromy. Nowadays, it is formulated as a categorical equivalence of the category of regular...

Normal form method is a classical ODE technique begun by H. Poincare. Via a suitable transformation one reduce a differential equation to a simpler form, where most of nonresonant terms are cancelled. In this talk, I begin to explain the not...

Several cluster interfaces in 2D critical lattice models have been proven to have conformally invariant scaling limits, which are described by SLE(Schramm-Loewner evolution) process, a family of random fractal curves. As the remarkable achie...

In 1980s, Donaldson discovered his famous invariant of 4-manifolds which was subsequently proved to be an integral on the moduli space of semistable sheaves when the 4-manifold is an algebraic surface. In 1994, the Seiberg-Witten invariant w...

Many aspects of the differential geometry of embedded Riemannian manifolds, including curvature, can be formulated in terms of multi-linear algebraic structures on the space of smooth functions. For matrix analogues of embedded surfaces, one...

Creating information and knowledge from large and complex data sets is one the fundamental intellectual challenges currently being faced by the mathematical sciences. One approach to this problem comes from the mathematical subdiscipline cal...

One of the important problems in understanding large and complex data sets is how to provide useful representations of a data set. We will discuss some existing methods, as well as topological mapping methods which use simplicial complexes ...

Persistent homology produces invariants which take the form of barcodes, or nite collections of intervals. There are various structures one can imposed on them to yield a useful organization of the space of all barcodes. In addition, there...

Homology is a method for assigning signatures to geometric objects which reects the presence of various kinds of features, such as connected components, loops, spheres, surfaces, etc. within the object. Persistent homology is a methodology...

After a review of various types of tilings and aperiodic materials, the notion of tiling space (or Hull) will be defined. The action of the translation group makes it a dynamical system. Various local properties, such as the notion of "Finit...

The mapping class group of a surface S is the component group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms on S. We survey geometric and algebraic aspects of this group, and introduce a technique of using right-angled Artin groups to find geomet...

It is very interesting to study what problems can be computed in irreducible plane curve singularities in algebraicgeometry? Then, the aim of this talk is to compute the explicit algorithm for finding the correspondence between the family of...

In the early 90's, physicists Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa conjectured that the analytic torsion was the counterpart in complex geometry of the counting problem of elliptic curves in Calabi-Yau threefolds. It seems that this conjecture is ...

Motivated by the analysis of the singularity of the Bergman kernel of a strictly pseudoconvex domain, Charlie Fefferman launched in the late 70s the program of determining all local biholomorphic invariants of strictly pseudoconvex domain. T...

Despite of the fact that 4-dimensional manifolds together with 3-dimensional manifolds are the most fundamental and important objects in geometry and topology and topologists had great achievements in 1960's, there has been little known on 4...

Volume conjecture를 설명하고 현재까지의 연구결과 그리고 앞으로의 연구계획을 소개한다.

The Lie superalgebra q(n) is the second super-analogue of the general Lie algebra gl(n). Due to its complicated structure, q(n) is usually called “the queer superalgebra”. In this talk we will discuss certain old and new results related to t...

There are some phenomena called "regularization by noise" in nonlinear evolution equations. This means that if you add a noise to the system, the system would have a better property than without noise. As one of examples, I will explain this...

Let be a cyclic group with generator . The discrete logarithm problem with auxiliary inputs (DLPwAI) is asked to find with auxiliary inputs , ,…, . In Eurocrypt 2006, an algorithm is proposed to solve DLPwAI in when . In this paper, we reduc...
