In this talk, we briefly introduce how a combinatorial object, Integer partition, is related with number theoretic subjects : q-series and modular forms. In particular, we will focus on (1) combinatorial proof for q-series identities (2) ari...
Root multiplicities of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras and Fourier coefficients of modular forms
In this talk, we will consider the hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra associated to a certain rank 3 Cartan matrix and generalized Kac-Moody algebras that contain the hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra. The denominator funtions of the generalized Kac-Mo...
A new view of Fokker-Planck equations in finite and Infinite dimensional spaces
Fokker-Planck and Kolmogorov (backward) equations can be interpreted as linearisations of the underlying stochastic differential equations (SDE). It turns out that, in particular, on infinite dimensional spaces (i.e. for example if the SDE i...
The spaces admitting a rational parameterization are called rational. In particular plane conics, including circles, are rational. We will explain a few interesting applications of the rational parameterization of a circle. Also several exam...
Noncommutative Geometry. Quantum Space-Time and Diffeomorphism Invariant Geometry
A general goal of noncommutative geometry (in the sense of A. Connes) is to translate the main tools of differential geometry into the Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics by taking advantage of the familiar duality between spaces an...
The Mathematics of the Bose Gas and its Condensation
Since Bose and Einstein discovered the condensation of Bose gas, which we now call Bose-Einstein condensation, its mathematical properties have been of great importance for mathematical physics. Recently, many rigorous results have been obta...
We proved the codimension three conjecture that says the micro-local perverse sheaves extend if it is defined outside odimension three (counting from Lagrangian subvarity). It is a joint work with Kari Vilonen.
We start with the famous Heisenberg uncertainty principle to give the idea of the probability in quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states by precise inequalities that the product of uncertainties of two physical quantit...
The theory of L-functions and zeta functions have been the key subject of mathematical research during the centuries since the Riemann zeta function was introduced and its important connection to the arithmetic of the integer was recognized....
학부생을 위한 강연: Choi's orthogonal Latin Squares is at least 61 years earlier than Euler's
조선시대 영의정을 지낸 최석정(1646-1715)은 그의 저서 구수략에 여러 크기의 직교라틴방진을 남겼는데 이는 combinatorial mathematics의 효시로 알려진 Leonhard Euler(1707?1783) 의 직교라틴방진보다도 적어도 61년이 앞서는 기록이다. 놀랍게도 최석정이...
젊은과학자상 수상기념강연: From particle to kinetic and hydrodynamic descriptions to flocking and synchronization
In this talk, I will report a recent progress for the modeling of collective behaviors of complex systems, in particular ocking and synchronization. Flocking and synchro-nization are ubiquitous in our daily life, for example, ocking of birds...
