This allows us to prove symplectic analogues of the first two theorems, yielding new symplectic rigidity results.Necessary preliminaries will be explained.This talk is based on work joint with Yaniv Ganor, Leonid Polterovich, and Frol Zapolsky.</div><div class="event_time">14:30 &bull; Université de Neuchâtel, Rue Emile-Argand 11, Room B217</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/analysis-seminar">Analysis Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Prof. Dr. Kelei Wang (School of Mathematics and Statistics Wuhan University)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">15:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://uzh.ch">Universit&auml;t Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://www.math.uzh.ch/mat075.1">Zurich Graduate Colloquium</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Salammbo Connolly (Université d\'Orsay)</div><div class="event_title">What is... the Morse fundamental group?</div><div class="event_time">16:30 &bull; UZH Zentrum, Building KO2, Room F 150</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Wednesday, October 29      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Aitor Iribar López (ETH Zürich)</div><div class="event_title">Cohomology of the Satake compactification II</div><div class="event_time">13:30 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</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/labs/stoan/probability-stochastic-analysis-seminar/">Probability (and Stochastic Analysis) Seminar </a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Joris von Winden (TU Delft)</div><div class="event_title">Synchronization by noise for traveling pulses <span class="abstract-button do_not_print">abstract</span></div><div class="abstract-text" style="display: none"><strong>Abstract:</strong><br />We show synchronization by noise for stochastic partial differential equations which support traveling pulse solutions, such as the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation.

The noise is assumed to be Gaussian, white in time, colored and periodic in space, and non-degenerate only in the lowest Fourier mode.

This talk will discuss recent progress on groups that are (are not) profinitely rigid, and in particular describe a construction (Grothendieck Pairs) that produce a finitely presented group that is rigid amongst finitely presented groups, but not amongst finitely generated ones.

In the classical setting of Boltzmann’s kinetic theory, this corresponds to the derivation of the Boltzmann equation from particle systems governed by Newtonian dynamics; in the theory of wave turbulence, this corresponds to the derivation of the wave kinetic equation from nonlinear dispersive equations. In this talk we present recent joint works with Zaher Hani and Xiao Ma, where we consider the hard sphere model in the particle setting, and the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the wave setting. In both cases we derive the corresponding kinetic equation up to arbitrarily long times, as long as the solution to this kinetic equation exists. This is a key step towards the resolution of the Hilbert sixth problem.Joris van Winden (TU Delft) Synchronization by noise for traveling pulses</div><div class="event_time">16:00 &bull; EPF Lausanne, Bernoulli Center</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/seminar-on-stochastic-processes">Seminar on Stochastic Processes</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Prof. Dr. Gaultier Lambert (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">17:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Thursday, October 30      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/fim/activities/nachdiplom-lectures">Nachdiplomvorlesung</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Bo\'az Klartag (The Weizmann Institute of Science)</div><div class="event_title">Isoperimetric inequalities in high-dimensional convex sets</div><div class="event_time">10:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>        <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/kolloquium">Perlen-Kolloquium</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Ramon Locher</div><div class="event_title"><a class="external" href="https://dmi.unibas.ch/de/news-events/detail/doktoratskolloquium-mathematik-ramon-locher/">Critical and near-critical level-set percolation of the Gaussian free field on regular trees</a></div><div class="event_time">16:15 &bull; Universität Basel, Departement Mathematik und Informatik, Spiegelgasse 5, Basel, 5.

The talk considers the weak equilibrium approach. While solving these problems interesting novel type of strategies appear that are not present in the time consistent version. In particular for time-inconsistent stopping problems, a class of mixed (i.e., randomized) stopping times based on a local time construction of the stopping intensity appears. The counterpart for singular time-inconsistent control problems is given by a control which results in an absolutely continuous rate that creates an inaccessible boundary. Additionally, can be shown that the classical solution approach to these problems used in the time-consistent version  (pure stopping times with no mixing and reflection for the SSC) does not always result in an equilibrium making these type of novel strategies necessary. This creates further insight into the strategy space that should be considered in order to prove general existence of equilibria, which is an open problem for most time-inconsistent problems.</div><div class="event_time">17:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, October 31      </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" href="https://www.epfl.ch/labs/anmath/seminars/">Seminar of Analysis </a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Matei Coiculescu (University of Princeton)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">14:15 &bull; EPF Lausanne</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/number-theory-seminar">Number Theory Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_title">Title tba: Peter Jossen</div><div class="event_time">14:15 &bull; Location T.B.A.</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"> Victor-Emmanuel Brunel (ENSAE / CREST)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">15:15 &bull; EPF Lausanne, CM 1 517</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Dr. Weite Pi (MPI Bonn)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">16:00 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</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>';
