Title: Kähler-Einstein metric, K-stability and moduli of Fano varieties II. Abstract: Algebraic varieties are given by solutions of a system of polynomial equations. Constructing parameter space for them has roots in many different fields, e.g. number theory, complex analysis, mathematical physics etc. It is often related to stability notions. The first framework to construct moduli […]

Title: First eigenvalue estimates on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds and their submanifolds.  Abstract: I will report on joint work with Samuel Pérez-Ayala. We derive a sharp upper bound for the first eigenvalue $lambda_{1,p}$ of the $p$-Laplacian on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds for $1<p<infty$. We then prove that a particular class of conformally compact submanifolds within asymptotically hyperbolic […]

Title: The simply typed 2λ-calculus Abstract: 2λ-calculus is a language with three levels: types, terms, and rewrites. I will explore their properties and give categorical description of the equational theory on the rewrites of the 2λ-calculus

From Stochastic to Deterministic: SGD dynamics of non-convex models in high dimensionsStochastic gradient descent (SGD) stands as a cornerstone of optimization and modern machine learning. However, understanding why SGD performs so well remains a major challenge. In this talk, I will present a theory for SGD in high dimensions when the number of samples and […]

Title: Discrete Series and Infinitesimal Characters Abstract: The infinitesimal character is an important invariant of an irreducible representation of a real group.  We expect particularly nice representations of the group will have particularly nice infinitesimal character.  We'll first introduce the definition of the infinitesimal character. Then, we discuss a recent application found by Krotz, Kuit, […]

Title: Recovery of time-dependent coefficients in hyperbolic equations on Riemannian manifolds from partial data.Abstract: In this talk we discuss inverse problems of determining time-dependent coefficients appearing in the wave equation in a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension three or higher. More specifically, we are concerned with the case of conformally transversally anisotropic manifolds, or in […]
