Linking Complex Analytic to Nonstandard Algebraic Geometry

The value of nonstandard mathematics is in serving as a "guiding star" and often offering a conceptually simple and elegant interpretation and generalization of classical theory and sometimes leads to new concrete standard results. Not so much is known about nonstandard complex analysis, unlike nonstandard real analysis, topology and metric spaces theory. Only some very specific applications of model theory are used to be known as for instance the Lefschetz principle, the theorem of Tarski-Seidenberg or some simple proofs of Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz. Recently, in collaboration with S. Kosarew, we started a program to develop a theory of analytic geometry using nonstandard methods. One of our fundamental constructions is that of a category of certain ringed spaces, called bounded schemes, which contains the category of algebraic C-schemes and which admits an essentially surjective functor, called the standard part functor, to the category of complex spaces. The advantage of this new more algebraic category is that it allows us to apply many constructions of standard algebraic geometry which are not evident in the analytic context. We obtain analytic results just by taking the standard part functor.

Keywords: Nonstandard analysis; Bounded schemes; internal polynomials; convex subrings; Colombeau’s algebras

Fast Exponentially Convergent Solution of Electromagnetic Scattering From Multilayer Concentric Magnetodielectric Cylinders by the Spectral Integral Method

The multilayer surface integral equations (SIEs) for electromagnetic scattering by infinitely long magnetodielectric cylinders with an arbitrary number of layers are derived and solved by the spectral integral method (SIM). Singularity subtraction for the 2-D Green’s function is used to enhance the computation accuracy and achieve exponential convergence. The final matrix equation after discretization is formed in the Fourier spectral domain rather than the spatial domain, which greatly expedites the SIM solution by accelerating the convolution via the fast fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. A recursive method is proposed to solve the spectral integral equations instead of using an iterative method to lower the computation complexity. Numerical examples for ordinary multilayer cylinders and invisibility cloak cylinders are presented to validate the SIM results by comparing the total fields, scattered fields, and radar cross section (RCS) to analytical solutions or finite-element simulations. They verify that the recursive solution has a complexity of O(MN log N) for an M-layer cylinder with N discrete points on each interface. Meanwhile, the SIM outperforms the analytical method because only the 0th-order and 1st-order special functions (Bessel functions and Hankel functions) are used in the SIM but higher-order functions are necessary for the analytical method to maintain the accuracy.

Quiver moduli from neural networks

Certain aspects of neural networks can be modelled using so called
double-framed representations of quivers. We define moduli spaces parametrizing such objects and describe their geometric properties, using Geometric Invariant Theory. We then derive explicit linear algebra descriptions of these moduli spaces using classical invariant theory and representation theory.
This is joint work in progress with Marco Armenta, Thomas Bruestle and Souheila Hassoun.

Optimization, Complexity and Invariant Theory

Invariant and representation theory studies symmetries by means of group actions and is a well established source of unifying principles in mathematics and physics. Recent research suggests its relevance for complexity and optimization through quantitative and algorithmic questions. The goal of the talk is to give an introduction to new algorithmic and analysis techniques that extend convex optimization from the classical Euclidean setting to a general geodesic setting. We also point out surprising connections to a diverse set of problems in different areas of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and physics.

The talk is mainly based on this joint article with Cole Franks, Ankit Garg, Rafael Oliveira, Michael Walter and Avi Wigderson: http://arxiv.org/abs/1910.12375

Computing E-Polynomials for certain character varieties

We report on arithmetic techniques introduced by Hausel and Rodriguez-Villegas for computing the E-polynomial of certain families of algebraic varieties, called character varieties of surface groups. The construction of such varieties follows from Geometric Invariant Theory. We will discuss these arithmetic techniques based on a fundamental theorem of Katz, that reduces the computation of E-polynomials to point counting over finite fields. Then we give an idea on how to apply them to more general character varieties.

Parahoric groups, Bruhat-Tits group schemes and representations of Fuchsian groups

The talk will introduce parahoric groups and Bruhat-Tits group schemes and torsors and relate them to representations of Fuchsian groups. The talk will be reasonably self-contained and will contain basic examples.

The moduli stack of elliptic curves

By a moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus
g, we mean the set of isomorphism classes of complex analytic structures on a closed oriented surface of genus g, fixed once and for all. It is not clear a priori why this definition makes sense, nor whether this set has an extra structure, turning it into a "space". In order to explicitly view the space-like properties of this set, we shall fix g=1 and we also fix some extra data: a base point on the curve. The moduli space we obtain by doing this is called the moduli space of elliptic curves and the goal of the talk is to show that this space is a complex analytic space in a coarse sense, and to introduce the notions of a stack in order to have a finer representation of the classification problem.

Two-dimensional cohomological Hall algebras

The goal of the present talk is the introduction of two-dimensional cohomological Hall algebras of quivers, curves, and surfaces, and discuss their categorification. In the first part of the talk, I will also provide some motivation to the theory of cohomological Hall algebras arising from the study of Hilbert schemes of points and moduli spaces of stable sheaves on smooth surfaces. In the last part of the talk, I will discuss in detail an ongoing joint work with Diaconescu, Schiffmann, and Vasserot, in which we consider the cohomological Hall algebra of a Kleinian surface singularity.
