---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Barbara Nelli <barbara.nelli(a)univaq.it> Date: Sun, Nov 12, 2023 at 11:18 AM Subject: European School of Differential Geometry: Granada June 24th to Jully 5th , 2024. To: Barbara Nelli <barbara.nelli(a)univaq.it> Dear Colleague, as a board member, I am pleased to inform you about the European School of Differential Geometry http://imag.ugr.es/esdg/ that will be held in Granada (Spain) from June 24th to Jully 5th , 2024. The ESDG has been approved as a Satellite Event of the ECM2024-Sevilla. The realization of this type of event is essential to maintain the vitality of Differential Geometry in Europe. The ESDG target audience is focused on young researchers, as well as Master and Doctoral students involved in the area of Differential Geometry. The ESDG will encourage the cohesion of the different research groups in Europe, having significant effects on the development of Mathematics on the continent. The idea is to create a solid and resilient event, with a clear projection in the future. The ESDG will take place every two years, each occasion in a European country. Students attending the school will have the opportunity to apply for scholarships. All the information will be available in the school webpage. Please do not hesitate to ask for additional information. I would be grateful if you could actively promote the school to attract as many participants as possible. Sincerely, Barbara Nelli

Carə tuttə, Giovedì 9 Novembre alle 14.30 in Aula Seminari si terrà il seminario di Hironobu Naoe (Chuo University) dal titolo "Shadow-complexity and trisection genus". Di seguito l'abstract. A shadow of a closed 4-manifold is a 2-complex suitably embedded in the 4-manifold, which can be treated as a combinatorial description of 4-manifolds. An invariant, called the shadow-complexity, of 4-manifolds is defined by counting certain vertices in shadows. On the other hand, a trisection is a decomposition of a 4-manifold into three handlebodies, and the intersection of the three handlebodies forms an orientable surface called the trisection surface. The trisection genus of a 4-manifold is defined as the minimum genus of all trisection surfaces. In this talk, we introduce a refined version of the shadow-complexity and give an inequality between the complexity and the trisection genus. Furthermore, we determine the complexity we introduced for some 4-manifolds. This is joint work with Masaki Ogawa. Ci troveremo alle 13 in atrio per andare a pranzo con Hironobu. Le informazioni sui prossimi seminari si trovano sul sito<https://www.dm.unipi.it/categoria-evento/geometry-seminar/>. Vi aspettiamo! Buona giornata, Filippo, Giovanni e Giuseppe

Carə tuttə, Giovedì 2 Novembre alle 14.30 in Aula Seminari si terrà il seminario di Francesco Costantino (Université Toulouse III) dal titolo "Costruzione di TQFT di dimensione 3 e 4". Di seguito l'abstract. Comincerò questo seminario ricordando la definizione delle TQFT in dimensione n e alcuni fatti generali (e.g. la definizione degli invarianti « quantistici » associati). Utilizzando poi una presentazione di Juhasz della categoria dei cobordismi darò un’idea della costruzione recente di nuove famiglie di TQFT in dimensione 2+1 e 3+1, basata su categorie di un tipo molto generale e che in dimensione 3 include per esempio le costruzioni di Turaev-Viro o più in generale di Barrett e Westbury, ma nel caso di categorie non semi-semplici. Terminerò parlando della costruzione in dimensione 4 e degli invarianti associati indicando alcune delle ostruzioni attualmente note per ottenere invarianti che siano capaci di distinguere varietà omeomorfe ma non diffeomorfe. (In collaborazione con : N. Geer, B. Patureau, B. Haioun e A. Virelizier) Ci troveremo alle 13 in atrio per andare a pranzo con Francesco. Le informazioni sui prossimi seminari si trovano sul sito<https://www.dm.unipi.it/categoria-evento/geometry-seminar/>. Vi aspettiamo! Buona giornata, Filippo, Giovanni e Giuseppe

Seminario di geometria e topologia 19/10 e pretalk 18/10
by Filippo Bianchi 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Carə tuttə, Giovedì 19 Ottobre alle 14.30 in Aula Seminari si terrà il seminario di Vera Vértesi (Universität Wien) dal titolo "The Giroux correspondence via convex surfaces". Di seguito l'abstract. The “hard direction” of the Giroux correspondence states that any two open books representing the same contact structure are related by a sequence of positive stabilisations and destabilisations. We give a proof of this statement for tight contact structures using convex surface theory. This is a joint work with Joan Licata. Mercoledì 18 Ottobre alle 16.30 in Aula Seminari terrò un pretalk su strutture di contatto e libri aperti, indirizzato particolarmente a studenti magistrali interessati al seminario. Le informazioni sui prossimi seminari si trovano sul sito<https://www.dm.unipi.it/categoria-evento/geometry-seminar/>. Vi aspettiamo! Buona giornata, Filippo, Giovanni e Giuseppe

[Indico] George H. Seelinger, A raising operator formula for Macdonald polynomials, 12/10/2023, 14:30 Europe/Rome
by francesco.sala＠unipi.it 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Title: A raising operator formula for Macdonald polynomials, Speaker(s): George H. Seelinger, University of Michigan, Date and time: 12 Oct 2023, 14:30 (Europe/Rome), Lecture series: Seminar on Combinatorics, Lie Theory, and Topology, Venue: Department of Mathematics (Aula Riunioni). You can access the full event here: https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/211 Abstract -------- Macdonald polynomials are a basis of symmetric functions with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}(q,t)$ exhibiting deep connections to representation theory and algebraic geometry. In particular, specific specializations of the $q,t$ parameters recover various widely studied bases of symmetric functions, such as Hall-Littlewood polynomials, Jack polynomials, q-Whittaker functions, and Schur functions. Central to this study is the fact that the Schur function basis expansion of the Macdonald polynomials have coefficients which are polynomials in $q,t$ with nonnegative integer coefficients, which can be realized via a representation-theoretic model. A more combinatorial approach to this result lies in first expanding Macdonald polynomials into LLT polynomials via the work of Haglund-Haiman-Loehr. LLT polynomials were first introduced by Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibbon as a q-deformation of a product of Schur polynomials and have subsequently appeared in the study of Macdonald polynomials and related families. In this talk, I will explain this background and provide a new explicit "raising operator" formula for Macdonald polynomials that follows from a realization of LLT polynomials in the elliptic Hall algebra of Burban and Schiffmann, which we describe via an isomorphism between the shuffle algebra studied by Feigin and Tsymbaliuk and part of the elliptic Hall algebra. This work is joint with Jonah Blasiak, Mark Haiman, Jennifer Morse, and Anna Pun. -- Indico :: Email Notifier https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/211
