 Dipartimento/1/">Lyapunov exponents</a>\nby Marcelo VIANA (IMPA - Rio de J
 aneiro) as part of Colloquium del dipartimento di Matematica - Roma "Tor V
 ergata"\n\n\nAbstract\nThe concept of Lyapunov exponent goes back to Lyapu
 nov's 1892 thesis on the stability of differential equations\, and has num
 erous applications in various branches of mathematics and science.\n\nStar
 ting from the 1960s\, it found its proper mathematical framework in ergodi
 c theory\, where it has had a prominent role ever since. In this colloquiu
 m lecture I will review a few recent developments\, especially about the w
 ay Lyapunov exponents depend on the underlying dynamical system.\n

 e sciences</a>\nby Michael Ghil (ENS and PSL University\, Paris\, and UCLA
 \, Los Angeles) as part of Colloquium del dipartimento di Matematica - Rom
 a "Tor Vergata"\n\n\nAbstract\nH. Poincaré already raised doubts about th
 e predictability of weather due to the divergence of orbits of dynamical s
 ystems associated more recently with chaos. Progress in the theory of nonl
 inear\, deterministic dynamical systems (DDS theory)\, on the one hand\, a
 nd the highly ingenious work of E.N. Lorenz\, on the other\, justified Poi
 ncaré’s early doubts. The theory of autonomous DDSs\, with time-indepen
 dent forcing and coefficients\, provided a solid mathematical basis for mu
 ch of the work on weather predictability over several decades.\nMore recen
 tly\, an interesting and highly stimulating convergence occurred between s
 tudies of climate predictability\, on the one hand\, and the development o
 f the theory of nonautonomous and random dynamical systems (NDS and RDS)\,
  on the other. The diurnal and the seasonal cycle of insolation played a s
 omewhat limited role in weather predictability for 10–15 days\, but it b
 ecame impossible to ignore the role of the seasonal cycle and of anthropog
 enic effects in climate predictability for years to decades.\nAt the same 
 time\, the theory of purely deterministic\, skew product flows\, as well a
 s that of RDSs\, incorporated time-dependent forcing and coefficients and 
 took huge mathematical strides\, including the rigorous formulation and ap
 plication of pullback attractors. A parallel development in the physical l
 iterature formulated and applied in a more intuitive fashion the closely r
 elated concept of snapshot attractors.\nThese mathematical and physical ad
 vances were seized upon by several groups of researchers interested in cli
 mate modeling and predictability. In this talk\, I will try to present som
 e of the mathematical background\, as well as some of the applications to 
 the climate sciences. These will include\, as time permits: (i) the use of
  pullback and snapshot attractors for the proper understanding of the effe
 cts of time-dependent forcing\, both deterministic and stochastic\, natura
 l as well as anthropogenic\, upon intrinsic climate variability\; (ii) the
  use of Wasserstein distance between time-dependent invariant measures to 
 estimate these effects\; (iii) the topological aspects of nonautonomous ef
 fects upon the intrinsic variability\; and (iv) a “grand unification” 
 between the nonlinear\, deterministic and autonomous point of view espouse
 d by E.N. Lorenz and the linear\, stochastically driven one of K. Hasselma
 nn.\nThis talk reflects joint work with G. Charó\, M.D. Chekroun\, R. Dur
 and\, A. DiGarbo\, Y. Feliks\, S. Galatolo\, F.-F. Jin\, D. Kondrashov\, V

 Dipartimento/3/">Nodal surfaces\, Coding theory\, and cubic discriminants<
 /a>\nby Fabrizio Catanese (University of Bayreuth) as part of Colloquium d
 el dipartimento di Matematica - Roma "Tor Vergata"\n\n\nAbstract\nNodal su
 rfaces in 3-space are those surfaces whose singularities have nondegenerat
 e Hessian. \nBasic numerical invariants are the degree d of a polynomial d
 efining such a surface Y\, and  the number \\nu of singular points. \nIf y
 ou fix those integers (d\,\\nu) these surfaces  are parametrized by the so
 -called Nodal Severi varieties F(d\, \\nu).  \n\nThe first basic questions
  are: \n\n1) for which pairs is F(d\, \\nu) nonempty ? \n2) When is it irr
 educible ?\n\nThe answer to 1) is known for d <= 6\, also the maximal numb
 er of nodes \\mu (d)  that a nodal surface in 3-space of degree d can have
  is known\nonly  for d <= 6.\n\nMaximizing nodal surfaces (those with \\mu
 (d) nodes) are: the Cayley cubic\, the Kummer surfaces\, the Togliatti qui
 ntics\, the Barth sextic.\n\nAn important chapter in Coding theory is the 
 theory of binary linear codes\, vector subspaces of a vector space  (Z/2)^
 n.\n\nI will recall basic notions and methods of coding theory (e.g. the M
 cWilliams identities) and describe some  codes related to quadratic forms.
  \n\nNodal surfaces are related to coding theory via the first homology of
  their smooth part: it  is a binary code K\, which was used  by Beauville\
 nto show that\, for d=5 \, \\mu(d) = 31. Coding theory was crucial in orde
 r to prove that \\mu(6) < = 65. \n\nOur main results concern the cases d =
  4\,5\,6 (d=2\,3 being elementary). \n\nTHM 1. For d=4 the components of  
 F(4\, \\nu) and their incidence correspondence are determined by their ext
 ended codes K’\,\nthese are all the shortenings of the first Reed Muller
  code.\n\nWe extend this result to nodal K3 surfaces of all degrees\, this
  sheds light on the case  d=5.\n\nTHM 2. For d=5  F(5\, \\nu) is irreducib
 le for \\nu = 31\, and the codes K occurring are classified\, up to a poss
 ible exception.\nFor \\nu = 29\,30\,31 these surfaces are discriminants of
   of the projection of a cubic hypersurface in 5-space. \n\nTHM 3. For d=6
  and \\nu = 65  the codes K\, K’ are  uniquely determined\, and can be d
 escribed explicitly via\n the  Hall graph\, attached to the group \\SigmaL
 (2\, 25)\, and the gometry of the Barth sextic.\nEvery 65 nodal sextic occ
 urs as  discriminant of the projection of a cubic hypersurface in  6-space
   with <=34  nodes.\n\n\nIrreducibility for d=6\, and 65 nodes\, is relate
 d to  the geometry of nodal cubic hypersurfaces in n-space\, and of the li
 near subspaces contained in them.\n\nOne may ask whether\, in the case of 
 even dimension n\, the cubic hypersurface with maximal number of singulari
 ties is\nprojectively equivalent to the Segre cubic s_1=s_3=0.\n\nFor theo
 rem 2  I benefited of the  cooperation of Sandro Verra\, for theorem 3 of 
 Yonghwa Cho\, Michael Kiermaier\,  Sascha Kurz\nand the Linux Cluster of t
 he Universitaet Bayreuth\,  while \nDavide Frapporti and Stephen Coughlan 
 cooperated for the geometry of nodal cubic hypersurfaces.\n

 ia University) as part of Colloquium del dipartimento di Matematica - Roma
  "Tor Vergata"\n\n\nAbstract\nLie theory\, which deals with smooth groups 
 of transformations\, is one of the cornerstones of mathematics and has gre
 at importance for both theory and applications. It is also visibly limited
 \, as the globe of Lie groups has been explored and inhabited. However\, i
 n recent years\, some new geometric and algebraic structures have been rec
 ognized as being as good as Lie groups in every respect\, including e.g. t
 heir contribution to the supply of special functions. My goal in this talk
  will be to explain where these new avenues of Lie theory lead.\n\nNote: T

 Dipartimento/5/">A foundation of group-theoretic analysis on manifolds</a>
 \nby Toshiyuki Kobayashi (The University of Tokyo) as part of Colloquium d
 el dipartimento di Matematica - Roma "Tor Vergata"\n\n\nAbstract\nSymmetry
  of geometry is inherited by symmetry of function spaces\, called the reg
 ular representation. From this viewpoint\, the classical theory of expans
 ions such as Fourier series or spherical harmonics may be interpreted as
  "analysis and synthesis" of the regular representation.\n\n\nIn this tal
 k\, we address the following fundamental questions about the regular repr
 esentation on manifolds X acted algebraically by reductive Lie groups G s
 uch as GL(n\,R).\n\nA.  Does the group G "control well"  the space of fu
 nction on X?\nB.  What can we say about "spectrum" for $L^2(X)$? \n\nWe 
 highlight "multiplicity" for A and "temperdness" for B\, and explain some
  geometric ideas of the solution.\n\n<b>N.B.</b>:  <i>this talk is part o

 s and Structure Preserving Methods</a>\nby Thomas J.R. Hughes (The Univers
 ity of Texas at Austin) as part of Colloquium del dipartimento di Matemati
 ca - Roma "Tor Vergata"\n\n\nAbstract\nThe vision of Isogeometric Analysis
  (IGA) was first presented in a paper published October 1\, 2005 [1].  Sin
 ce then it has become a focus of research within both the fields of Finite
  Element Analysis (FEA) and Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) and has
  become a mainstream analysis methodology and provided a new paradigm for 
 geometric design [2-4].  The key concept utilized in the technical approac
 h is the development of a new foundation for FEA\, based on rich geometric
  descriptions originating in CAGD\, more tightly integrating design and an
 alysis.  Industrial applications and commercial software developments have
  expanded recently.  In this presentation\, I will describe the origins of
  IGA\, its status\, recent progress\, areas of current activity\, and the 
 development of isogeometric structure preserving methods.\n\n\n<b>Key Word

 by Nicola Gigli (SISSA Trieste) as part of Colloquium del dipartimento di 
 Matematica - Roma "Tor Vergata"\n\n\nAbstract\nWe all know what the differ
 ential of a smooth map from R to R is. By looking at coordinates and then
  at charts\, we also know what it is the differential of a smooth map betw
 een differentiable manifolds. With a little bit of work\, we can also def
 ine a (weak) differential for Sobolev/BV maps in this setting (but the cas
 e of manifold-valued maps presents challenges already at this level). In 
 this talk I will discuss how it is possible to differentiate maps between 
 spaces that have no underlying differentiable structure at all. The concep
 ts of Sobolev/BV maps in this setting will also be discussed. <br><br>\n
