DESCRIPTION:Title: Homogenization of Steklov problems with applications to sharp
isoperimetric bounds\, part I\nby Alexandre Girouard (Université Lav
al) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe question t
o find the best upper bound for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue of a
planar domain goes back to Weinstock\, who proved in 1954 that the first n
onzero perimeter-normalized Steklov eigenvalue of a simply-connected plana
r domain is 2*pi\, with equality iff the domain is a disk. In a recent joi
nt work with Mikhail Karpukhin and and Jean Lagacé\, we were able to let
go of the simple connectedness assumption. We constructed a family of doma
ins for which the perimeter-normalized first eigenvalue tends to 8π. In c
ombination with Kokarev's bound from 2014\, this solves the isoperimetric
problem completely for the first nonzero eigenvalue. The domains are obtai
ned by removing small geodesic balls that are asymptotically densely perio
dically distributed as their radius tends to zero. The goal of this talk w
ill be to survey recent work on homogenisation of the Steklov problem whic
h lead to the above result. On the way we will see that many spectral prob
lems can be approximated by Steklov eigenvalues of perforated domains. A s
urprising consequence is the existence of free boundary minimal surfaces i
mmersed in the unit ball by first Steklov eigenfunctions and with area str
ictly larger than 2*pi. This talk is based on joint work with Antoine Henr
ot (U. de Lorraine)\, Mikhail Karpukhin (UCI) and Jean Lagacé(UCL).\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Homogenization of Steklov problems with applications to sharp
isoperimetric bounds\, part II.\nby Jean Lagacé (University College
London) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nTraditiona
lly\, deterministic homogenisation theory uses the periodic structure of E
uclidean space to describe uniformly distributed perturbations of a PDE.
It has been known for years that it has many applications to shape optimis
ation. In this talk\, I will describe how the lack of periodic structure
can be overcome to saturate isoperimetric bounds for the Steklov problem o
n surfaces. The construction is intrinsic and does not depend on any auxi
liary periodic objects or quantities. Using these methods\, we obtain the
existence of free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball with large a
rea. I will also describe how the intuition we gain from the homogenisati
on construction allows us to actually construct some of them\, partially v
erifying a conjecture of Fraser and Li. This talk is based on joint work
with Alexandre Girouard (U. Laval)\, Antoine Henrot (U. de Lorraine) and
Mikhail Karpukhin (UCI).\n\nEn ligne-Web: Veuillez communiquer avec l'org

DESCRIPTION:Title: Holomorphic motions\, conformal welding and capacity\nby
Malik Younsi (University of Hawaii) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Semin
ar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe notion of a holomorphic motion was introduced by Man
e\, Sad and Sullivan in the 1980's\, motivated by the observation that Jul
ia sets of rational maps often move holomorphically with holomorphic varia
tions of the parameters. Even though the original motivation for their stu
dy came from complex dynamics\, holomorphic motions have found over the ye
ars to be of fundamental importance in other related areas of Complex Anal
ysis\, such as the theory of Kleinian groups and Teichmuller theory for in
stance. Holomorphic motions also played a central role in the seminal work
of Astala on distortion of dimension and area under quasiconformal mappin
gs. In this talk\, I will first review the basic notions and results relat
ed to holomorphic motions\, including quasiconformal mappings and the (ext
ended) lambda lemma. I will then present some recent results on the behavi
or of logarithmic capacity and analytic capacity under holomorphic motions
. As we will see\, conformal welding (of quasicircle Julia sets) plays a f
undamental role. This is joint work with Tom Ransford and Wen-Hui Ai.\n\nE

DESCRIPTION:Title: Viscosity limits for 0th order operators\nby Jeff Galkows
ki (University College London) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\
n\nAbstract\nIn recent work\, Colin de Verdiere--Saint-Raymond and Dyatlov
--Zworski showed that a class of zeroth order pseudodifferential operators
coming from experiments on forced waves in fluids satisfies a limiting ab
sorption principle. Thus\, these operators have absolutely continuous spe
ctrum with possibly finitely many embedded eigenvalues. In this talk\, we
discuss the effect of small viscosity on the spectra of these operators\,
showing that the spectrum of the operator with small viscosity converges
to the poles of a certain meromorphic continuation of the resolvent throug
h the continuous spectrum. In order to do this\, we introduce spaces base
d on an FBI transform which allows for the testing of microlocal analytici
ty properties. This talk is based on joint work with M. Zworski.\n\nEn l

DESCRIPTION:Title: A quantification of the Besicovitch projection theorem and it
s generalizations\nby Blair Davey (The City College of New York) as pa
rt of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Besicovitch project
ion theorem asserts that if a subset E of the plane has finite length in t
he sense of Hausdorff and is purely unrectifiable (so its intersection wit
h any Lipschitz graph has zero length)\, then almost every linear projecti
on of E to a line will have zero measure. As a consequence\, the probabil
ity that a line dropped randomly onto the plane intersects such a set E is
equal to zero. Thus\, the Besicovitch projection theorem is connected to
the classical Buffon needle problem. Motivated by the so-called Buffon c
ircle problem\, we explore what happens when lines are replaced by more ge
neral curves. We discuss generalized Besicovitch theorems and\, as Tao di
d for the classical theorem (Proc. London Math. Soc.\, 2009)\, we use mu
lti-scale analysis to quantify these results. This work is joint with Lau
ra Cladek and Krystal Taylor.\n\nEn ligne-Web: Veuillez communiquer avec l

DESCRIPTION:Title: Singularity formation in Black Hole interiors\nby Spyros
Alexakis (University of Toronto) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\
n\n\nAbstract\nThe prediction that solutions of the Einstein equations in
the interior of black holes must always terminate at a singularity was ori
ginally conceived by Penrose in 1969\, under the name of "strong cosmic ce
nsorship hypothesis". The nature of this break-down (i.e. the asymptotic
properties of the space-time metric as one approaches the terminal singul
arity) is not predicted\, and remains a hotly debated question to this day
. One key question is the causal nature of the singularity (space-like\,
vs null for example). Another is the rate of blow-up of natural physical/
geometric quantities at the singularity. Mutually contradicting predictio
ns abound in this topic. Much work has been done under the assumption of
spherical symmetry (for various matter models). We present a stability re
sult for the Schwarzschild singularity under polarized axi-symmetric pertu
rbations of the initial data\, joint with G. Fournodavlos). One key inno
vation of our approach is a certain new way to treat the Einstein equation
s in axial symmetry\, which should have broader applicability.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Scattering theory for difScattering theory for differential f
orms and its relation to cohomologyferential forms and its relation to coh
omology\nby Alexander Strohmaier (University of Leeds) as part of CRM-
Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nI will consider spectral theory o
f the Laplace operator on a manifold that is Euclidean outside a compact s
et. An example of such a setting is obstacle scattering where several com
pact pieces are removed from $\\R^d$. The spectrum of the operator on fun
ctions is absolutely continuous. In the case of general $p$-forms eigenva
lues at zero may exist\, the eigenspace consisting of L^2-harmonic forms.
The dimension of this space is computable by cohomological methods. I wi
ll present some new results concerning the detailed expansions of generali
sed eigenfunctions\, the scattering matrix\, and the resolvent near zero.
These expansions contain the L^2-harmonic forms so there is no clear sepa
ration between the continuous and the discrete spectrum. This can be used
to obtain more detailed information about the L^2-cohomology as well as t
he spectrum. If I have time I will explain an application of this to phys
ics. (joint work with Alden Waters)\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The spectral a random hyperbolic surface\nby Michael Mag
ee (Durham University) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstr
act\nOn a compact hyperbolic surface\, the Laplacian has a spectral gap be
tween 0 and the next smallest eigenvalue if and only if the surface is con
nected. The size of the spectral gap measures both how highly connected th
e surface is\, and the rate of exponential mixing of the geodesic flow on
the surface. There is an analogous concept of spectral gap for graphs\, wi
th analogous connections to connectivity and dynamics. Motivated by theore
ms about the spectral gap of random regular graphs\, we proved that for an
y $\\epsilon > 0$\, a random cover of a fixed compact connected hyperbolic
surface has no new eigenvalues below 3/16 - $\\epsilon$\, with probabilit
y tending to 1 as the covering degree tends to infinity. The number 3/16 i
s\, mysteriously\, the same spectral gap that Selberg obtained for congrue
nce modular curves. The talk is intended to be accessible to graduate stud
ents and is based on joint works with Frédéric Naud and Doron Puder.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Restriction of eigenfunctions to sparse sets on manifolds\nby Malabika Pramanik (University of British Columbia) as part of CRM-Mo

$(M\, g)$ without boundary\, we consider the restriction of Laplace-Beltr
ami eigenfunctions to certain subsets $\\Gamma$ of the manifold. How do t
he Lebesgue $L^p$ norms of these restricted eigenfunctions grow? Burq\, Ge
rard\, Szvetkov and independently Hu studied this question when $\\Gamma$
is a submanifold. In ongoing joint work with Suresh Eswarathasan\, we ext
end earlier results to the setting where $\\Gamma$ is an arbitrary Borel s
ubset of $M$. Here differential geometric methods no longer apply. Using
methods from geometric measure theory\, we obtain sharp growth estimates
for the restricted eigenfunctions that rely only on the size of $\\Gamma$.
Our results are sharp for large $p$\, and are realized for large familie
s of sets $\\Gamma$ that are random and Cantor-like.\n

uniformly elliptic operators (operators whose coefficients have controlle

the $L^p$-Dirichlet problem with some finite $p$ is equivalent to the qua

e classical pointwise ergodic theorem for a probability measure preserving
(pmp) transformation $T$\, one takes averages of a given integrable funct
ion over the intervals $\\{x\, T(x)\, T^2(x)\, \\hdots\, T^n(x)\\}$ in fro

able-to-one pmp $T$\, where the averages are taken over subtrees of the gr
aph of T that are rooted at $x$ and lie behind $x$ (in the direction of $T
^{-1}$). Surprisingly\, this theorem yields forward ergodic theorems for c
ountable groups\, in particular\, one for pmp actions of free groups of fi
nite rank\, where the averages are taken along subtrees of the standard Ca
yley graph rooted at the identity. This strengthens Bufetov’s theorem fr

DESCRIPTION:Title: Spectral invariants and Birkhoff Billiards\nby Amir Vig
(CRM\, McGill) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nCon
sider a smooth\, bounded\, strictly convex domain in the plane. There are
two games one can play. The classical one is billiards\, in which a billia
rd ball orbits around the domain and reflects elastically at the boundary.
The “quantum” analogue involves the study of wave propagation in the
domain and understanding the frequencies at which such waves oscillate. In
this talk\, we discuss recent progress on the inverse spectral problem of
determining a billiard table from its Laplace spectrum. In particular\, w
e introduce a new class of spectral invariants for a generic class of bill
iard tables obtained from an explicit Hadamard-Riesz type parametrix for t
he wave propagator\, microlocally near geodesic loops of small rotation nu
mber. These same techniques also allow us to prove (infinitesimal) Robin s
pectral rigidity of the ellipse\, when both the boundary and boundary cond
itions are allowed to deform simultaneously. Finally\, we mention ongoing
work together with Vadim Kaloshin to cancel singularities in the wave trac
e for special types of domains.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: A Funk perspective on convex geometry\nby Dmitry Faifman
(Tel Aviv University) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstr
act\nThe Funk metric in the interior of a convex set is a lesser-known cou
sin of the Hilbert metric. The latter generalizes the Beltrami-Klein model
of hyperbolic geometry\, and both have straight segments as geodesics\, t
hus constituting solutions of Hilbert's 4th problem alongside normed space
s. Unlike the Hilbert metric\, the Funk metric is not projectively invaria
nt. I will explain how\, nevertheless\, the Funk metric gives rise to many
projective invariants\, which moreover enjoy a duality extending results
of Holmes-Thompson and Alvarez Paiva on spheres of normed spaces and Gutki
n-Tabachnikov on Minkowski billiards. I will also discuss how the maximal
volume problem in Funk geometry yields an extension of the Blaschke-Santal
o inequality.\n

ntreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk I present\, in the sem
iclassical regime\, an explicit formula for the integrated density of stat
es of the periodic Airy-Schrodinger operator on the real line. The potent
ial of this Schrödinger operator is periodic\, continuous and piecewise l
inear. For this purpose\, the spectrum of the Schrödinger operator whose
potential is the restriction of the periodic Airy-Schrödinger potential
to a finite number of periods is studied. We prove that all the eigenvalu
es of the operator corresponding to the restricted potential are in the sp
ectral bands of the periodic Airy-Schrodinger operator and none of them ar
e in its spectral gaps. In the semiclassical regime\, we count the number
of these eigenvalues in each of the spectral bands. Note that in these r

egime. This is joint work with Olivier Lafitte (USPN - CRM Montreal).\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Free boundary minimal surfaces and large Steklov eigenvalues
\nby Alexandre Girouard (Université Laval) as part of CRM-Montreal an
alysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nA free boundary minimal surface (FBMS) in th
e unit ball is a minimal surface Ω ⊂ B ⊂ R 3 which satisfies one of
the two following equivalent conditions: • Ω meets the boundary ∂B o
rthogonally\, • The coordinate functions xi : Ω → R are Steklov eige
nfunctions with eigenvalue σ = 1. The study of FBMS is witnessing a rena
issance thanks to the fundamental work of Fraser and Schoen\, who discover
ed that isoperimetric optimizers for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue
σ1(Ω) of surfaces lead to the existence of FBMS with prescribed topolog
y. For surfaces of genus 0\, they proved existence of maximizers for the
perimeter-normalized σ1(Ω) and thereby obtained several new FBMS. In t
his talk I will show how this link can be used to obtain a sequence of FBM
S Ωn ⊂ B such that area(Ωn ) n→∞ −−−→ 4π. This is base
d on a construction of domains in the sphere S 2 with perimeter-normalized
σ1(Ω) converging to 8π. These domains are obtained by removing small
disks from the sphere\, in the spirit of homogenization theory. I will a
lso dicuss a conjecture by Fraser and Li\, stating that σ1(Ω) = 1 for e
ach FBMS Ω ⊂ B. More precisely\, I will show that the conjecture is t
rue for some FBMS which are invariant under the action of the symmetry gro
up of some platonic solids. This talk is based on joint work with Jean La
gac´e (UCL).\n

worski (Berkeley) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\n
The connection between the formation of internal waves in fluids\, spectra
l theory and the dynamics of homeomorphisms of the circle was investigated
by oceanographers in the 90s and resulted in novel experimental observati
ons (Maas et al\, 1997). The specific homeomorphism is given by a chess b
illiard and has been considered by many authors (John 1941\, Arnold 1957\,
Ralston 1973\, ... \, Lenci et al 2021). The relation between the nonli
near dynamics of this homeomorphism and linearized internal waves provides
a striking example of classical/quantum correspondence (in a classical an
d surprising setting of fluids!). Using a model of tori and of zeroth ord
er pseudodifferential operators\, it has been a subject of recent research
\, first by Colin de Verdi`ere-Saint Raymond 2020 and then by Dyatlov\, Ga
lkowski\, Wang and the speaker. In this talk I will review those results

prove that a triangle is not determined by its first\, second and fourth
(Dirichlet) eigenvalues\, solving a conjecture by Antunes and Freitas. In
the second part I will construct a planar domain with 6 holes for which t

this domain does not satisfy Payne’s nodal line conjecture. This gives
a partial answer on a question posed by Hoffmann-Ostenhof\, Hoffmann-Osten

ll first present a recent result on a new proof of Weyl’s law for the bu
ckling eigenvalues requiring minimal assumptions on the domain. The proof
relies on asymptotically sharp lower and upper bounds that we develop for
Riesz means. Moreover\, we compute the second term in Weyl’s law in th
e case of balls and bounded intervals. This\, together with some formal co
nsiderations\, leads us to state a conjecture for the second term in gener
al domains. The talk is based on a joint work with Davide Buoso (UPO)\, L
uigi Provenzano (Sapienza Universit`a di Roma)\, and Joachim Stubbe (EPFL)

ictor Ivrii (University of Toronto) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Semin
ar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe establish semiclassical asymptotics or estimates for
the Schwartz kernel eh(x\, y\; τ ) of spectral projector for a second ord
er elliptic operator on a manifold with a boundary. While such asymptotic
s for its restriction to the diagonal eh(x\, x\, τ ) and\, especially\, f
or its trace Nh(τ ) = R eh(x\, x\, τ ) dx are well-known\, the out-of-di
agonal asymptotics are much less explored. Our main tools: improved succe
ssive approximations and geometric optics. Our results would also lead to
classical asymptotics of eh(x\, y\, τ ) for fixed h (say\, h = 1) and τ
→ ∞.\n

nThe spectral theory of the Laplace operator on graphs offers many analogi

University (3/3)) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\
n(1/3) On the index of the critical Moebius band in the 4-ball \n\nIn thi
s talk I will show that the Morse index of the critical Moebius band in th
e 4-dimensional Euclidean ball equals 5. This result makes use of the qua
rtic Hopf differential technique and a comparison theorem between the inde
x of a free boundary minimal surface in the Euclidean ball and its spectra
l index. The latter also enables us to reprove a well-known result that t
he index of the critical catenoid in the 3-ball equals 4. These results a
re obtained in my paper in progress. \n\n(2/3) A comparison between Neu
mann and Steklov eigenvalues \n\nIn this talk we present a comparison bet
ween the normalized first (non-trivial) Neumann eigenvalue |Ω|µ1(Ω) f
or a Lipschitz open set Ω in the plane\, and the normalized first (non-t
rivial) Steklov eigenvalue P(Ω)σ1(Ω). More precisely\, we study the
ratio F(Ω) := |Ω|µ1(Ω)/P(Ω)σ1(Ω). We prove that this ratio ca
n take arbitrarily small or large values if we do not put any restriction
on the class of sets Ω. Then we restrict ourselves to the class of plan
e convex domains for which we get explicit bounds. We also study the case
of thin convex domains for which we give more precise bounds. In the las
t part of the talk we present the corresponding Blaschke-Santal´o diagram
s (x\, y) = (|Ω|µ1(Ω)\, P(Ω)σ1(Ω)) and we state some open proble
ms. This talk is based on a joint work with Antoine Henrot. \n\n(3/3) Sp
ectral gaps for random hyperbolic surfaces with cusps \n\nWe shall study t
he discrete spectrum of the Laplacian on random non-compact finite-area hy
perbolic surfaces\, focusing on the size of the first non-zero eigenvalue
i.e. the spectral gap. We shall introduce a model for random surfaces\,
arising from the Weil-Petersson metric on moduli space. Then we shall dis
cuss some recent results in this model for compact surfaces and their exte
nsion to the non-compact case. In particular\, we prove the existence of
a positive uniform spectral gap of explicit size for random large genus no
n-compact surfaces.\n

nar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe theory of harmonic maps with free boundary is an ol
d topic in geometric analysis. I will report on recent results on their G
inzburg-Landau approximation\, regularity theory\, and their heat flow. I
will also describe several models in the theory of liquid crystals where
the heat flow of those maps appears\, emphasizing on some well-posedness i
ssues and some hints on the construction of blow-up solutions. Several im
portant results in geometric analysis such as extremal metrics for the Ste
klov eigenvalues for instance make a crucial use of such maps. I’ll giv
e some open problems and will try to explain how to attack few open questi
ons in the field using tools recently developed.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: On measure theoretic projection bodies\nby Michael Roysd
on (Tel Aviv) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe
inequalities of Petty and Zhang are affine isoperimetric-type inequalities
providing sharp bounds for voln−1 n (K)voln(Π◦K)\, where ΠK is a pr
ojection body of a convex body K is the convex body with support function
given by hΠK(θ) = voln−1(K|θ ⊥)\, θ ∈ S n−1 \, where θ ⊥ de
notes the hyperplane orthogonal to the direction θ. The upper bound\, du
e to Petty\, and referred to as Petty’s projection inequality attains eq
uality only when K is an ellipsoid\, and the lower bound is due to Zhang a
nd equality occurs only when K is a simplex. In this talk\, we present a
number of generalizations of Zhang’s inequality to the setting of measur
es. In addition\, we introduce extensions of the projection body operator
Π to the setting of arbitrary measures\, that is\, given a measure µ on
R n with continuous density ϕ\, ΠµK is the convex bodies whose support
function is given by hΠµK(θ) = 1 2 Z ∂K |hθ\, nK(y)i|φ(y)dy\, wher
e ∂K denotes the boundary of K and nK(y) denotes the outer unit normal o
f ∂K at y. We remark that the support function hπµK has been deeply s
tudied in the literature\, and is an example of a generalized zoniod when
ϕ is taken to be even. Authors: Dylan Langharst\; Kent State University

DESCRIPTION:Title: The extremal length systole of the Bolza surface\nby Max
ime Fortier Bourque (Universite de Montreal) as part of CRM-Montreal analy
sis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe extremal length of a curve on a Riemann sur
face is a conformal invariant that has a nice geometric description but is
not so simple to compute in practice. The extremal length systole is def
ined as the infimum of the extremal lengths of all non-contractible closed
curves. I will discuss joint work with Didac Martinez-Granado and Franco
Vargas Pallete in which we compute the extremal length systole of the Bol
za surface\, the most symmetric surface of genus two. The calculation inv
olves certain identities for elliptic integrals called the Landen transfor
mations. We also prove that the Bolza surface is a local maximizer for th
e extremal length systole and conjecture that it is the unique global maxi
mizer.\n

mpekos (Stony Brook) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstrac
t\nA circle domain $\\Omega$ in the Riemann sphere is a domain each of who
se boundary components is either a circle or a point. A circle domain $\\
Omega$ is called conformally rigid if every conformal map from $\\Omega$ o
nto another circle domain is the restriction of a Mobius transformation.
In this talk I will present some new rigidity theorems for circle domains
satisfying a certain quasihyperbolic condition. As a corollary\, John and
Holder circle domains are rigid. This provides new evidence for a conjec
ture of He and Schramm\, relating rigidity and conformal removability. Th
is talk is based on joint work with Malik Younsi.\n

c measure on a planar domain\, I will discuss "true trees"\, i.e.\, trees
drawn in the plane so that every edge has equal harmonic measure and so th
at these measures are symmetric on each edge. True trees on the 2-sphere
are a special case in Grothendieck's theory of dessins d'enfant\, where a
graph on a topological surface induces a conformal structure on that surfa
ce. I will recall the connection between dessins\, equilateral triangulat
ions and branched coverings (Belyi's theorem). I will also describe some
recent applications of these ideas to holomorphic dynamics: approximating
sets by polynomial Julia sets\, finding meromorphic functions with prescri
bed postcritical orbits\, constructing finite type dynamical systems on hy
perbolic Riemann surfaces\, building wandering domains for entire function
s\, and estimating the fractal dimensions of transcendental Julia sets. T
here will be many pictures and few proofs.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Slope Gap Distributions of Veech Translation Surfaces
\nby Jane Wang (Indiana University) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Semin
ar\n\n\nAbstract\nTranslation surfaces are surfaces that are locally Eucli
dean except at finitely many points called cone points\, an example being
the regular octagon with opposite sides identified (the vertices are ident
ified and become a single cone point). A saddle connection is then a stra
ight trajectory that begins and ends at a cone point. It is known that on
almost every translation surface\, the set of angles of saddle connection
s on the surface is equidistributed in the circle. A finer notion of how
random the saddle connection directions are is given by something called t
he gap distribution of the surface. In this talk\, we will explain wha
t the slope gap distribution of a translation surface is and survey so
me known results about slope gap distributions\, including how one can
use properties of the horocycle flow to compute the slope gap distribut
ions of special translation surfaces called Veech surfaces. We'll then d
iscuss recent results showing that the slope gap distributions of Veec
h surfaces have to satisfy some nice analytic properties. This project is
joint work with Luis Kumanduri and Anthony Sanchez.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Conformal surface embeddings and extremal length\nby Kev
in Pilgrim (Indiana University) as part of CRM-Montreal analysis Seminar\n
\n\nAbstract\nGiven two Riemann surfaces with boundary and a homotopy clas
s of topological embeddings between them\, we show there is a conformal em
bedding in the homotopy class if and only if the extremal length of every
simple multi-curve is decreased under the embedding. For applications to d
ynamical systems\, we need an additional fact: if the ratio is bounded abo
ve away from one\, then it remains so under passing to any finite cover. I
will also briefly mention how under natural conditions the technique of q
uasiconformal surgery promotes so-called rational-like maps f:f^{-1}(S)→
S\, where f^{−1}(S)⊂S are planar Riemann surfaces\, to rational maps.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Nodal sets of monochromatic waves from a deterministic and r
andom point of view\nby Álvaro Romaniega (ICMAT) as part of CRM-Montr
eal analysis Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk we present recent results
on the nodal set (i.e.\, the zero level set) of monochromatic waves (i.e.
\, solutions of the Helmholtz equation) on the Euclidean space. Following
the breakthrough work of F. Nazarov and M. Sodin\, a growing literature gi
ves us powerful probabilistic results for the number of connected componen
ts of the nodal set of random monochromatic waves. The aim of this talk is
to explore the properties of these standard random monochromatic waves an
d\, consequently\, define a more general class of random monochromatic wav
es depending on a parameter \, which includes the standard definition as a
particular case. This parameter controls some regularity (of the Fourier
transform) and decay properties of these waves. Given that\, we study the
structure of the nodal set depending on that parameter from a deterministi
c and from a random point of view. Finally\, we show how to construct dete
rministic realizations or examples of monochromatic waves satisfying the p
robabilistic Nazarov-Sodin volumetric growth for the number of connected c
omponents of the nodal set and similarly for the volume of the nodal set.
