               Poincare constant on manifolds with ends
 
Abstract. It is a well-known fact that the Poincare inequality does not hold on a connected sum Rn#Rn for n>2. In this talk, we discuss the estimates of the Poincare constant on manifolds with ends, where the Poincare constant is given by the supremum of variance over the Dirichlet energy form of functions on balls. This talk is based on a joint work with A. Grigor'yan and L. Saloff-Coste.

                Removable sets and uniqueness of operator extensions on manifolds and metric measure spaces
 
Abstract. We study removable sets (in the sense of Mazja) and Lp-uniqueness problems on manifolds and metric measure spaces. The Laplacian, considered on suitable spaces of test functions vanishing in a neighborhood of a 'removed' null set, has a unique extension if and only if this set has vanishing second order capacity. If the semigroup is strong Feller and satisfies a specific gradient inequality then two types of capacities are comparable and the critical size of the removed set can be expressed in terms of Hausdorff measures. As an application we show that from the point of view of essential self-adjointness the Laplacian on certain Gromov-Hausdorff limits of non-collapsing spaces 'ignores' the singular part of the limit space. This is joint work with Jun Masamune (Sapporo) and Kohei Suzuki (Pisa).

                Evans' and Choquet's theorem for polar sets
 
Abstract. By classical results of G.C.Evans and G.Choquet on ''good kernels G in potential theory'', for every polar Fs-set P, there exists finite measure μ on P such that Gμ= on P, and a set P admits a finite measure μ on P such that 
{Gμ=}=P if and only if P is a polar Gd-set. A known application of Evans' theorem yields the solutions of the generalized Dirichlet problem for open sets by the Perron-Wiener-Brelot method using only harmonic  upper and lower functions.

In this talk it is shown that, by elementary ''metric'' considerations and without using any potential theory, such results can be obtained for general kernels 
G satisfying a local triangle property. The particular case, G(x,y)=|xy|a−d on Rd  where  2<a<da<d,  solves an open problem from the book of N.S.Landkoff on ''Foundations of Modern Potential Theory''.

                 A bridge between elliptic and parabolic Harnack inequalities 
 
Abstract. The notion of conformal walk dimension serves as a bridge between elliptic and parabolic Harnack inequalities. The importance of this notion is due to the fact that the finiteness of the conformal walk dimension characterizes the elliptic Harnack inequality. Roughly speaking, the conformal walk dimension is the infimum of all possible values of the walk dimension that can be attained by a time-change of the process and by a quasisymmetric change of the metric. Two natural questions arise 
(a) What are the possible values of the conformal walk dimension? 
(b) When is the infimum attained? 
In this talk, I will explain the answer to (a), and mention partial progress towards (b). 
This talk is based on joint work with Naotaka Kajino.

                 Heat kernels on generalized diamond fractals
 
Abstract. In this talk we introduce (in some sense natural) diffusion processes on a parametric family of fractals called generalized diamond fractals. These spaces arise as scaling limits of diamond hierarchical lattices, which are studied in the physics literature in relation to random polymers, Ising and Potts models among others. In the case of constant parameters, diamond fractals are self-similar sets. This property was exploited in earlier investigations by Hambly and Kumagai to study the properties of the corresponding diffusion process and its associated heat kernel. These questions are of interest in particular because in this setting some usual assumptions like volume doubling are not satisfied. Alternatively, a diamond fractal can also be regarded as an inverse limit of metric measure graphs. Through a procedure proposed by Barlow and Evans, one can construct a canonical diffusion process for more general parameters, also in the absence of self-similarity. It turns out that it is possible to give a rather explicit expression of the associated heat kernel, which is in particular uniformly continuous and admits an analytic continuation.

                 Global existence for the Zakharov system
 
Abstract.The Zakharov system is a system of coupled Schrödinger-wave equations which was originally derived as a model in plasma physics. We show that in dimensions d>3 for large wave data, and small Schrödinger data, solutions to the Zakharov system exist globally in time and scatter. Moreover, we extend the regularity region for well-posedness to the sharp region. The key step is to prove a Strichartz estimate for the Schrödinger equation with a potentially large free wave potential. In contrast to previous work on the Zakharov system, we avoid the use of normal forms, and instead work with spaces which are carefully adapted to control bilinear interactions between solutions to the Schrödinger and wave equations. Avoiding the use of normal forms allows us to consider data with regularity in the extended full region of local well-posedness. This is joint work with Sebastian Herr and Kenji Nakanishi.

                 Stability of heat kernel estimates and parabolic Harnack inequalities for symmetric Dirichlet forms
 
Abstract. We consider symmetric Dirichlet forms that consist of strongly local (diffusion) part and non-local (jump) part on a metric measure space. Under general volume doubling condition and some mild assumptions on scaling functions, we establish stability of two-sided heat kernel estimates in terms of Poincare inequalities, jumping kernels and generalized capacity inequalities. We also discuss characterizations of the associated parabolic Harnack inequalities. Our results apply to symmetric diffusions with jumps even when the underlying spaces have walk dimensions larger than 2. This is a joint work with Z.Q. Chen (Seattle) and J. Wang (Fuzhou).

                 Moments of scores
 
Abstract. If a random variable X has an absolutely continuous density f(x), its score is defined to be the random variable 
\rho(X) = f'(X)/f(X), where f'(x) is the derivative of f. We will discuss upper bounds on the moments of the scores, especially in the case when X represents the sum of independent random variables.

                 Random walks on groups and the absolute
Abstract. An important problem in the theory of random processes and random fields (Dynkin, Dobrushin etc.) is to describe the probability measures with given co-transition distributions, e.g. to find all Markov processes with the same co-transition distributions as a given Markov process. The set of all such measures is referred to as the Absolute. This problem is solved on certain groups, including commutative groups, nilpotent groups, trees. Connections with the theory of harmonic functions, Poisson-Furstenberg boundaries and others will be explained.

Abstract. The Duckman's function and distribution are well-known in physical and applied probabilistic literature. They are practically unknown among "pure probabilists". My talk will contain the introduction to the subject and several extensions of the theory. The applications include the member theory ( the works of Dickman and de Bruijn), cell-growth models, limit theorems on solvable Lie groups, differential-functional equations etc.

                BV and Besov spaces on fractals with Dirichlet forms
Abstract. We introduce heat semigroup-based Besov classes in the general framework of Dirichlet spaces. General properties of those classes are studied and quantitative regularization estimates for the heat semigroup in this scale of spaces are obtained. As a highlight of the work, we obtain a far reaching $L^p$-analogue, $p \ge 1$, of the Sobolev inequality that was proved for $p=2$ by N. Varopoulos under the assumption of ultracontractivity for the heat semigroup. The case $p=1$ is of special interest because it may yield isoperimetric type inequalities and Bounded Variation (BV) function spaces. This is a joint work with Patricia Alonso-Ruiz, Fabrice Baudoin, Li Chen, Luke Rogers, Nageswari Shanmugalingam.

               Stability of the elliptic Harnack Inequality
 
Abstract:  Following the work of Moser, as well as de Giorgi and Nash, Harnack inequalities have proved to be a powerful tool in PDE as well as in the study of the geometry of spaces. In the early 1990s Grigor'yan and Saloff-Coste gave a characterisation of the parabolic Harnack inequality (PHI). This characterisation implies that the PHI is stable under bounded perturbation of weights, as well as rough isometries. In this talk we prove the stability of the EHI. This is joint work with Mathav Murugan (UBC).

Abstract: Motivated by the literature we consider several peculiar conditions on the heat kernel and the characteristic exponent of a Levy process in Rd and we show that they are equivalent. Next, we discuss (local) lower bounds for the heat kernel under those conditions. Assuming comparability with an isotropic unimodal Levy process on the level of Levy measures we complement the lower bound and also prove upper bound. The talk is based on a joint work with Tomasz Grzywny.

               Asymptotics of heat kernels of unimodal convolution semigroups 
 
Abstract:  In this talk we investigate  behaviour of densities for isotropic unimodal Lévy processes.
The main result is a description of the asymptotics under an assumption that the Lévy-Khinchine
exponent varies regularly of index between 0 and 2. Moreover, we show that for unimodal Lévy processes, the regular variation of  the characteristic exponent  is equivalent to the  asymptotic behaviour for the transition density.

               Densely defined non-closable curl on topologically one-dimensional fractals 
 
Abstract:  The talk deals with the exterior derivative operator defined on 1-forms on topologically one dimensional spaces with a strongly local regular Dirichlet form. It is proved that exterior derivative operator taking 1-forms into 2-forms is not closable if the martingale dimension is larger than one. Although  the main results are applicable to general diffusions, some of the most interesting examples  include the  non self-similar Sierpinski carpets recently introduced by Mackay, Tyson and Wildrick. For these carpets we prove that not only the curl operator is not closable, but that its adjoint operator has a trivial domain.

               Cloaking via change of variables in quasilinear elliptic equations
 
Abstract:  After the pioneer works on cloaking (electromagnetic invisibility) simultaneously publisched by Leonahrdt (Science 312, 2006, 1777-1780) and Pendry, Shurig and Smith (Science 312, 2006, 1780-1782), several papers gave a general definition of cloaking in closely related setting of electric impedance tomography and for the Helmoltz Equation. Among others R.V.Kohn et al (Inverse Problems 2007 and Comm.  Pure and Appl. Math. Vol LX III, 2010) gave the following definition: a region of space is cloaked for a particular class of measurements if its contents and even the existence of the cloak are invisible  using such measurements.  In a joint project with Michael Roeckner we will present a preliminary version for the cloaking related to a quasilinear elliptic differential equation.

               Exit time and survival probability for unimodal Levy processes
 
Abstract:  The basic object of interest in this talk is the expected exit time from a bounded smooth domain for arbitrary starting point of an isotropic unimodal Levy process. We derive sharp estimates up to the boundary of the set by giving barriers for the ball of arbitrary radius and subharmonic functions in the complement of the ball. Next we discus applications of those  for instance estimates of the survival probability in bounded smooth domains or exteriors sets.

               A random walk through sub-Riemannian geometry
 
Abstract: A sub-Riemannian manifold M is a connected smooth manifold such that the only smooth curves in M which are admissible are those whose tangent vectors at any point are restricted to a particular subset of all possible tangent vectors. Such spaces have several applications in physics and engineering, as well as in the study of hypo-elliptic operators. In this talk, we will construct a family of geometrically natural sub-elliptic Laplacian operators and discuss the trouble with defining one which is canonical. We will also construct a random walk on M which converges weakly to a process whose infinitesimal generator is one of our sub-elliptic Laplacian operators. This is joint work with Tom Laetsch.

Abstract:  In this talk, I will present some recent results on the well posedness of KP II problems. In these results, we find that  the Galilean invariant are very important. By decomposing the nonlinear 
part of the problems into some Galilean invariant terms, we could obtain some more interesting bilinear estimates which we thought be very nature in the context of KP.
