This talk deals with (global-in-time) Strichartz estimates for Schrödinger equations with potentialsdecaying at infinity. The case when the potential decays sufficientlyfast has been extensively studied in the last three decades. However,it has remained mostly unknown for slowly decaying potentials in whichcase the standard perturbation argument does not work. We insteademploy several techniques from long-range scattering theory andmicrolocal/semiclassical analysis, and prove Strichartz estimates for aclass of positive potentials decaying arbitrarily slowly. A typicalexample is the positive Coulomb potential in three space dimensions. Asan application, we also obtain a modified scattering type result forthe final state problem of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations withlong-range nonlinearity and potential.

We will show that, when the rank of the vector bundle is small compared to the dimension of the manifold, ergodicity can be completely characterized in geometric terms -- a certain connection admits no holonomy reduction. The proof combines classical hyperbolic dynamics, harmonic analysis, and, more surprisingly, real algebraic geometry (classification of polynomial maps between sphere).

Let also G be a reductive group scheme over X. Semistability for G-torsors can be defined by several ways that depend on assumptions on k and G. These approaches are both well defined and equivalent when k is of characteristic zero. In this talk I will explain in which generalities it is possible to extend some of these approaches to the positive characteristic framework and compare them. This requires to investigate whether some well known results in representation theory in characteristic zero still hold true in characteristic p > 0. More specifically, an analogous statement of a theorem of Morozov (which classifies, in characteristic 0, parabolic subalgebras of the Lie algebra of a reductive group by means of their nilradical) is a cornerstone of all this unification attempt.In the first part of the talk, I will provide an overview of the geometric content and emphasizethe role of parabolic subgroups in all this theory of semistability. The second part of the talkwill be dedicated to the extension of Morozov’s theorem to positive characteristics, and the way it allows one to get a more uniform vision of the different historical definitions of semistability of G-torsors.</div><div class="event_time">14:15 &bull; EPF Lausanne, Salle MA A3 30</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Wednesday, June 7      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_ba"><a class="external" href="https://unibas.ch">Universität Basel</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://dmi.unibas.ch/de/forschung/mathematik/analysis/analysis-seminar">Analysis Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Luis Martinez Zoroa (ICMAT Madrid)</div><div class="event_title">Instantaneous loss of regularity for SQG with fractional diffusion <span class="abstract-button do_not_print">abstract</span></div><div class="abstract-text" style="display: none"><strong>Abstract:</strong><br />The Surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation is an important active scalar model, both due to its shared properties with 3D Euler as well as for its applications to model certain atmospherical phenomena.

Soundararajan has proved non-vanishing for a positive proportion of quadratic characters. Over function fields Li has discovered that Chowla\'s conjecture fails for infinitely many distinct quadratic characters. However, on the basis of the Katz--Sarnak heuristics, it is still widely believed that one should have non-vanishing for 100% of the characters in natural families (such as the family of quadratic characters). Works of Bui--Florea, David--Florea--Lalin, Ellenberg--Li--Shusterman, among others, provided evidence giving a positive proportion of non-vanishing in several such families. I will present an upcoming joint work with Peter Koymans and Mark Shusterman, where we prove that for each fixed q congruent to 3 modulo 4 one has 100% non-vanishing in the family of imaginary quadratic function fields. </div><div class="event_time">17:00 &bull; Universität Basel, online Seminar</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, June 9      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_la"><a class="external" href="https://www.epfl.ch">EPF Lausanne</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external_nolink">Talks in Mathematical Finance </a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Anna Cieslak (Duke\'s Fukua School of Business)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">10:30 &bull; EPF Lausanne, UniL campus, Extranef 126</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_la"><a class="external" href="https://www.epfl.ch">EPF Lausanne</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://www.epfl.ch/schools/sb/research/math/statistics-seminars/">Statistics Seminar </a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Nati Srebro (TTI Chicago)</div><div class="event_title">Minimum Description Length Interpolation Learning <span class="abstract-button do_not_print">abstract</span></div><div class="abstract-text" style="display: none"><strong>Abstract:</strong><br />We consider learning by using the shortest program that perfectly fits the training data, even in situations where labels are noisy and there is no way of exactly predicting the labels on the population. Classical theory tells us that in such situations we should balance program length with training error, in which case we can compete with any (unknown) program with sample complexity proportional to the length of the program. But in the spirit of recent work on benign overfitting, we ignore this wisdom and insist on zero training error even in noisy situations. We study the generalization property of the shortest program interpolator, and ask how it performs compared to the balanced approach, and how much we suffer, if at all, due to such overfitting.</div><div class="event_time">11:15 &bull; EPF Lausanne, Salle CM 1 4 </div>        </div>      </div>    </div>  </div>  <div id="sms_footer">    address: Alessandra Naldi Windler, Departement Mathematik, HG G 51.4, ETH Zurich, Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zurich<br />    email: <a href="mailto:bulletin@math.ch">bulletin@math.ch</a> | phone: +41 44 632 3684 | url: <a href="https://math.ch">https://math.ch</a>    <br /><br /><img src="//www2.math.ethz.ch/smsjs/sms_logo.gif" width="150" alt="SMS/SMG Logo" title="SMS/SMG Logo" />  </div></div>';
