---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: s.schleimer(a)warwick.ac.uk <s.schleimer(a)warwick.ac.uk> Date: Sab 7 Giu 2025, 21:42 Subject: [gdrtresses] IHP programme: Illustration as a mathematical research technique To: gdrtresses(a)listes.math.cnrs.fr <gdrtresses(a)listes.math.cnrs.fr> Dear colleagues, From January 5 to April 3, 2026 the Institut Henri Poincareì (Paris, France) will host a research trimester entitled 'Illustration as a mathematical research technique'. This includes an introductory graduate school at CIRM (separate registration required), a mathematical art exhibition (submissions now open), and three workshop weeks focussing on number theory, on geometry/ topology, and on rigorous illustration. There will also be a student apprenticeship program (more info soon). Below is a fuller description of the program. Registration for the program and the conferences is still open: https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/13123/ Registration is free but mandatory, and financial support is available. Some funding is earmarked for graduate students and early-career researchers. The deadline to apply for financial support is June 15, 2025. The organizing committee David Bachman (Pitzer College) Reìmi Coulon (CNRS / Universiteì de Bourgogne) Gabriel Dorfsman-Hopkins (St. Lawrence University) Edmund Harriss (University of Arkansas) Martin Skrodzki (TU Delft) Katherine E. Stange (University of Colorado Boulder) Glen Whitney (Studio infinity) ---- Mathematical understanding is built in many ways. Among these, illustration has been a companion and tool to research for as long as research has taken place. We use the term illustration to encompass any of the many ways one might bring a mathematical idea into physical form or experience, including computer visualization, 3D printing, and virtual reality, among others. With modern tools, illustration can even make mathematics an experimental science, so that computational results can drive the cycle of problem, conjecture, and proof. Today, modern technology for the first time places the production of far more complicated 3D models within the reach of many individual mathematicians. Moreover, the very process of illustration itself challenges our understanding of a mathematical topic and forces us to answer questions we may not have posed otherwise. This trimester program will bring together mathematicians using illustration as a research tool with mathematicians newly learning these tools. The group will be comprised of members from various areas of mathematics. The mains goals of the trimester are: - advancing research through the use of mathematical illustration; - disseminating the skills for the creation of mathematical illustration and its use in research; - furthering the theory of illustration as a tool. Program highlights include: - January 5 to 9, 2026: Opening Graduate school at the CIRM (a separate registration is needed at https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/3491.html) - January 19 to 23, 2026: Workshop 'Rigorous Illustrations - Their creation and evaluation for mathematical research' - February 16 to 20, 2026: Conference 'Bridging visualization and understanding in Geometry and Topology' - March 23 to 27, 2026: Conference 'Integrating Research and Illustration in Number Theory' - April 9 to July 25, 2026: Group exhibition 'Mathematics and Art in Creation'. Projects can be submitted here https://sondages.ihp.fr/index.php/559142?lang=en Review of applications will begin July 1st, 2025 and will then continue on a rolling-basis.

Seminario di Geometria Martedì 29 Aprile 2025 - Jacopo Guoyi Chen
by Filippo Sarti 28 Apr '25

28 Apr '25

Buongiorno, Vi ricordo che il prossimo seminario di Geometria e Topologia sarà tenuto da Jacopo Guoyi Chen e si terrà Martedì 29 Aprile alle ore 14:30 presso l'aula Riunioni. Per gli interessati ad andare a pranzo con lo speaker, l'appuntamento è in atrio alle 12:45. Allego titolo e abstract Titolo: Non-cobordant hyperbolic manifolds Abstract: In all dimensions n ≥ 4 not of the form 4m+3, we show that there exists a closed hyperbolic n-manifold which is not the boundary of a compact (n+1)-manifold. The proof relies on the relationship between the cobordism class and the fixed point set of an involution on the manifold, together with a geodesic embedding of Kolpakov, Reid and Slavich. We also outline a possible approach to cover the dimensions 4m+3 ≠ 2^k−1. A presto, Carlo e Filippo

17 Mar '25

Buongiorno, Vi ricordo che il prossimo seminario di Geometria e Topologia sarà tenuto da Alessia Cattabriga e si terrà Martedì 18 Marzo alle ore 14:30 presso l'aula Riunioni. Per gli interessati ad andare a pranzo con la speaker, l'appuntamento è in atrio alle 12:45. Allego titolo e abstract Titolo: Rappresentazioni "plat-like" di link in 3-varietà orientabili Abstract: Dopo una breve panoramica delle diverse tecniche di rappresentazione di link in 3-varietà orientabili, mi focalizzerò su rappresentazioni che utilizzano gruppi treccia e chiusura "plat-like". In particolare, presenterò: - risultati consolidati ottenuti in collaborazione con Paolo Cavicchioli per link in varietà di Dunwoody e Takahashi presentate attraverso decomposizioni di Heegaard - risultati iniziali relativi ad un lavoro che, oltre a Paolo Cavicchioli, coinvolge Mishra Rama e Visakh Narayanan, riguardanti varietà che ammettono decomposizioni one-sided (cioè contengono una superfice non-orientabile il cui complementare è un corpo di manici). A presto, Carlo e Filippo

Seminario di Geometria Giovedì 6 Marzo - Ilaria Castellano
by Filippo Sarti 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Buongiorno, Vi ricordo che il prossimo seminario di Geometria e Topologia sarà tenuto da Ilaria Castellano e si terrà Giovedì 6 Marzo alle ore 14:30 presso l'aula Riunioni. Per gli interessati ad andare a pranzo con la speaker, l'appuntamento è in atrio alle 12:45. Allego titolo e abstract Titolo: Totally disconnected locally compact groups, accessibility and Euler-Poincaré characteristic Abstract: In the first part of the talk I will illustrate how the classical notion of accessibility for finitely generated groups carries over to the realm of compactly generated totally disconnected locally compact (= t.d.l.c.) groups. Then, by means of a new notion of Euler-Poincaré characteristic, I will discuss an accessibility result in the t.d.l.c. framework, under the assumption of rational discrete cohomological dimension = 1. A presto, Carlo e Filippo

Seminari di Geometria Mercoledì 26 e Giovedì 27 Febbraio
by Carlo Collari 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Buongiorno, Vi ricordo che questa settimana ci sarà un doppio appuntamento del seminario di Geometria e Topologia. Oltre al seminario di Giovedì 27 Febbraio, che sarà tenuto da Daniele Angella alle ore 14:30 presso l'aula Riunioni, avremo un ulteriore appuntamento Domani Mercoledì 26 Febbraio, questo seminario sarà tenuto da Fabrizio Bianchi alle ore 16:00 presso l'aula Seminari. Per gli interessati ad andare a pranzo con la speaker, l'appuntamento è in atrio alle 13:00. Allego titoli e abstract A presto, Carlo e Filippo Seminario del 26 Febbraio Relatore: Fabrizio Bianchi Titolo: On entropy of holomorphic maps Abstract: A celebrated theorem by Gromov (70s, published in Enseign. Math. 2003) states that the topological entropy of a holomorphic self-map of a Kahler manifold is bounded above by the logarithm of the maximum of the dynamical degrees. The proof relies on a geometric interpretation of the entropy and on a volume estimate for complex analytic sets. I will provide some context for this result and present the main ideas of this proof in the case of rational maps of the Riemann Sphere (where the upper bound reduces to the logarithm of the degree). Seminario del 27 Febbraio Relatore: Daniele Angella Titolo: The Hermitian geometry of Chern connections Abstract: We consider some analytic problems concerning the geometry of the Chern connection of Hermitian manifolds, e.g. the existence of metrics with constant Chern-scalar curvature; the generalizations of the Kähler-Einstein condition to the non-Kähler setting; the convergence of the normalized Chern-Ricci flow on compact complex surfaces. The talk is based on joint collaborations with Simone Calamai, Mauricio Correa, Francesco Pediconi, Cristiano Spotti, Valentino Tosatti and others.

Corso 4-varietà + Teorema di Gromov
by Bruno Martelli 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Cari, Segnalo un paio di eventi che ci saranno fra pochi giorni in dipartimento che secondo me sono particolarmente utili per chi fa geometria e topologia. Mercoledì alle 16 in Aula seminari Fabrizio Bianchi ci illustrerà un teorema di Gromov sull'entropia di mappe olomorfe. Si tratta di un argomento molto bello e fortemente collegato alle mappe pseudo-Anosov su superfici e al seminario di Elia che c'è stato qualche settimana fa (l'idea di chiedere a Fabrizio di illustrarci il teorema è venuta dopo il seminario di Elia). Lunedì prossimo alle 16 su google meet ci sarà la riunione preliminare del corso di dottorato "4- manifolds", tenuto da Marco Marengon. Il link è https://meet.google.com/pvo-musz-gfz A presto, Bruno
