ICMS Seminar

Time: February 6, 2024, 2:00 pm Place: Room 403, IMI - BAS Speaker: Vladimir Mitankin, IMI - BAS Title: A categorical view of singularity theory I Further information: https://icms.bg/a-categorical-view-of-singularity-theory-i-and-ii-talks-by-paul-horja/ Abstract. The mirror symmetry phenomenon was discovered by string theorists more than thirty years ago as an equivalence of two physical theories associated with very different geometries. The categorical point of view on this remarkable conjecture was famously introduced by M. Kontsevich in his 1994 ICM talk. As it became clear over time, homological mirror symmetry provides new approaches to many topics in symplectic and algebraic geometry. In these two talks, I will present a brief overview of the conjecture as well as some results inspired by mirror symmetry and obtained in joint work with [...]

ICMS Seminar

Time: October 17, 2023, 2:00 pm Place: Room 403, IMI - BAS Speaker: Mikhail Shkolnikov, IMI-BAS Title: Tropical structures in sandpile model Abstract: The sandpile model is a cellular automaton that can be defined on any graph. Though it has appeared independently in a variety of contexts, it attracted tremendous attention from the wide scientific community when its instance on a large domain of the square lattice was put forward as the simplest rigorous example of self-organized criticality. Such phenomena, real-life examples of which are earthquakes, solar flares, or neuronal avalanches, could be vaguely described as being between order and chaos, demonstrating power laws without being finely tuned, and transcending the scale. Tropical geometry, on the other hand, is a field of pure mathematics [...]

ICMS Seminar

The first meeting of the ICMS Seminar for 2023/2024 will be held on October 10, 2023, at 2:00 pm in Room 403 of IMI - BAS. A talk on: About a generalisation of Sylvester’s law of inertia will be delivered by Stéphanie Cupit-Foutou (Ruhr Universitat, Bohum). https://icms.bg/about-a-generalisation-of-sylvesters-law-of-inertia-talk-by-stephanie-cupit-foutou/ Abstract. Sylvester’s law of inertia can be formulated in terms of group actions when considering real linear groups acting on real quadratic forms by base change. After reviewing this celebrated result from this perspective, I will give a generalisation of it in the setting of so-called spherical varieties (a class of complex varieties including flag varieties, toric varieties, symmetric spaces, etc.). This is a joint work with D. Timashev

ICMS: Lectures by Prof. Michael R. Douglas, Harvard University

ICMS-Sofia and IMSA-Miami present Consortium Distinguished Lecture Series June 30, 2023, 15:30 (EEST, Sofia time), “Prof. Marin Drinov” Hall, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences 1, “15th November” Str., Sofia and via Zoom Michael R. Douglas, Harvard University, CMSA 3:30 pm (UTC+3) Lecture 1: Tameness and quantum field theory Abstract: I will discuss the notion of a space of quantum field theories, and explain various approaches to its definition and some of its expected properties. I will then cover joint work with Thomas Grimm and Lorenz Schlechter on tameness of quantum field theories.  This is based on the mathematical concept of o-minimal structures, which has been very powerful for proving finiteness results. Given a QFT or a space of QFTs, we define a corresponding structure, and conjecture [...]

Joint seminar of the ICMS and the MFI Department

A joint seminar of the International Center for Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Mathematical Foundations of Informatics will be held on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, at 3:00 pm. Speaker: Maryam Bajalan Title: Linear and Cyclic Codes over Rings Abstract: The study of codes over the rings (ring-linear codes) attracted great interest after the work of Calderbank, Hammons, Kumar, Sloane, and Sole in the early 1990s. In this seminar, the basic theory of linear codes over finite commutative rings will be presented including the importance of codes over rings, various kinds of rings for ring-linear coding theory, the weight functions on finite rings, MacWilliams equivalence theorem and the connection between these codes and codes over fields via the Gray maps. Moreover, the cyclic codes over finite [...]
