Дата: 02.11.2023 г., 14:00 ч. Място: Зала 403, ИМИ - БАН Докладчик: Петър Далаков, ИМИ - БАН Курс: Introduction to Projective Structures and Opers Резюме: A complex projective structure on a Riemann surface is determined by an atlas, whose transition functions are Moebius (fractional-linear) transformations. There are multiple   descriptions of these structures: as certain flat PGL_2-bundles, as Sturm-Liouville operators, as holomorphic connections on the (first) jet bundle of the dual of a theta-characteristic, etc. This mini-course is an introduction to the fundamentals of projective structures, accessible to students and non-specialists. We will also explore links to some classical geometric objects (such as quadratic differentials and Schwarzian derivatives), as well as some generalisations (G-opers) introduced by Beilinson and Drinfeld. https://icms.bg/introduction-to-projective-structures-and-opers/

Място: Зала 403, ИМИ - БАН Докладчик: Михаил Школников, ИМИ - БАН Доклад: Tropical structures in sandpile model Резюме: 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 [...]

На 10.10.2023 г. (вторник) от 14:00 часа в зала 403 на ИМИ ще се състои първата сбирка на семинара на МЦМН за 2023/2024 г. Доклад на тема: About a generalisation of Sylvester’s law of inertia ще изнесе Stéphanie Cupit-Foutou (Ruhr Universitat, Bohum). https://icms.bg/about-a-generalisation-of-sylvesters-law-of-inertia-talk-by-stephanie-cupit-foutou/ Резюме. 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.
