Seminar
From data to cohomologies of digraphs, to representations of categories
October 13 (Tue) 10:30 - 12:00, 2026
Luigi Caputi (Research Fellow, Department of Mathematics, University of Bologna, Italy)
Motivated by applications to topological data analysis, in the last years we have been witnessing a growing interest in new (topological, homological, categorical) features associated to graphs. The aim of the talk is to describe a recently developed (co)homology theory of directed graphs, called multipath cohomology, whose definition is inspired by Khovanov homology of knots. We will show its relations with more established invariants, such as chromatic homology of graphs, Hochschild homology of algebras, and matching complexes. If time allows it, we will show that the ranks of multipath cohomology, when restricted to graphs with bounded genus, grow at most polynomially in the number of edges, and that the order of its torsion is bounded. This will depend upon structural properties of (the representation category of) graphs, such as its Noetherianity properties.

WorkshopMajorana Modes: Fundamentals, Status & Directions
October 13 (Tue) - 16 (Fri) 2026
Workshop Overview Majorana modes lie at the heart of contemporary condensed-matter physics, exhibiting non-Abelian exchange statistics; when protected by topology, they are robust against environmental perturbations. Here, “Majorana mode” is used broadly to include a localized zero-energy Majorana state (a Majorana zero mode) and chiral Majorana edge states with gapless dispersion crossing zero energy. This three-day in-person workshop returns to fundamentals and open questions. It opens with a tutorial session on the afternoon of October 13 for non-experts and adjacent fields, and emphasizes rigorous theory–experiment dialogue, robust methodology, and concrete benchmarks for realizing and testing Majorana modes. Participants Experimentalists and theorists working on Majorana modes Researchers in adjacent fields (quantum materials, superconductivity, mesoscopic physics) Graduate students and postdocs interested in entering the field Topics include (non-exhaustive) Majorana zero modes in a variety of nanostructures Chiral Majorana edge states in quantum spin liquids and other platforms Disorder, interactions, and realistic device modeling Experimental diagnostics and “smoking gun” signatures Topological Quantum Spin Systems

Seminar
Finding your rhythm in a complex acoustic environment
October 14 (Wed) 13:00 - 14:00, 2026
Kim Hoke (Professor, Department of Biology, Colorado State University, USA)
My lab integrates genetic, transcriptomic, morphological, and physiological mechanisms to understand the striking diversity of behavior. This talk will focus on recent work on frog acoustic communication. Although the basic acoustic features of frog calls differ reliably among species, individual males of the same species differ in some acoustic properties and female frogs use those male-male differences in mate choice. And for many species, this communication is occurring in very dense choruses which can reach hundreds of males! Our current work assesses which features of calls are characteristic of individuals and how males adjust their calling based on their social environments. We hope to trace how overall chorus dynamics emerge from individual call strategies playing out in time and space, and link those individual strategies to neurobiological mechanisms. We also address the complementary question of female preferences: how do females integrate over a series of signals in this cacophony to make mate choice decisions? Together these lines of research adopt a systems approach to understand how the robust genetic and developmental processes that produce species-specific behaviors have evolved to generate the striking diversity of communication strategies frogs employ.

SeminarData assimilation with the full covariance on a fault-tolerant quantum computer
October 21 (Wed) 15:00 - 16:30, 2026
Takemasa Miyoshi (Team Principal, Data Assimilation Research Team, RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS))
Data assimilation (DA) is the core of numerical weather prediction, estimating an accurate state of the weather model by combining forecast and observations. DA provides a general approach and is being applied to various problems beyond weather. The state estimation is a linear solve where the background error covariance B is essential. Since B is an N × N matrix with N ~ 10^8 to 10^9 for the weather model, the full B has never been used. For decades the community has approximated B by parameterized covariance models or by low-rank ensembles with localization and thereby discards genuine structures that we know exist from large-ensemble experiments. Fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) could remove this constraint, since quantum linear system solvers scale polylogarithmically in N. However, the DA equations cannot be applied naively: the observation-space form squares the block-encoding normalization factor for observations with wide footprints, and the state-space form contains B^{-1}, whose condition number ~10^8. This talk presents a combined state-observation formulation that avoids both difficulties: it contains no B^{-1}, and its condition number is governed by the observation error covariance R rather than by B. Numerical experiments with the Lorenz-96 model reproduce the exact solution with the full B and outperform localized ensemble Kalman filters. The formulation assumes that B and the observation operator are provided as block-encoded oracles, and how to construct such oracles without ever storing the matrices is the open problem. A first concrete target is an end-to-end demonstration with Lorenz-96 on a quantum simulator with only seven data qubits, which I would like to discuss with the iTHEMS community.

SeminarObservability-based causal inference in linear stochastic systems with hidden inputs
October 22 (Thu) 13:00 - 14:00, 2026
Daiki Sekizawa (Special Postdoctoral Researcher, Laboratory for Neural Computation and Adaptation, RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS))
Causal inference from neural time series is confounded by correlations induced by hidden common inputs, a problem that is especially acute because the full set of variables shaping neural activity is rarely accessible. Prediction based measures such as Granger causality can therefore falsely attribute such dependencies to causal influence. Delay coordinate reconstruction, which is also closely connected to observability in control theory, provides a complementary route: in deterministic systems, downstream delays can reconstruct upstream causes, whereas the reverse does not generally hold. This asymmetry provides a signature of causal direction, as exploited by convergent cross mapping. In stochastic dynamics, however, dynamical and observation noise enter delay coordinates and prevent exact trajectory reconstruction. Here, we develop data driven criteria that extend this observability principle to partially observed stochastic systems. First, we show that observability can be tested by regression of time lagged covariance matrices, which removes direct noise contributions while preserving the observability relation. Second, we show that causal direction can be tested through inclusion of stochastic Koopman eigenvalues estimated from upstream and downstream delay coordinates, because downstream observations generically contain the dynamical components observable upstream. Numerical examples show that the proposed criteria recover causal direction and reject spurious dependencies induced by unobserved common inputs, including cases in which Granger causality and convergent cross mapping fail to distinguish common input from causal influence. Although motivated by neural recordings, the framework applies broadly to partially observed stochastic dynamical systems beyond neuroscience.

SeminarBorn-Oppenheimer EFT: an unified description of ordinary and exotic quarkonia
October 27 (Tue) 13:30 - 15:00, 2026
Nora Brambilla (Professor, TUM School of Natural Sciences, Technical University of Munich, Germany)
We show how the Born--Oppenheimer effective field theory (BOEFT) provides a unified description of ordinary and exotic quarkonia grounded on the non-relativistic expansions of QCD and supplemented with lattice QCD inputs. We show applications of the BOEFT to tetraquarks, pentaquarks, quarkonium hybrids and on threshold effects in the quarkonium spectrum. We present the insights that BOEFT delivers us on the mature of these XYZ exotics states.

Seminar
Maximal Enhancements in Eight-Dimensional Non-Supersymmetric Heterotic Strings
October 30 (Fri) 10:30 - 12:00, 2026
Yuefeng Liu (Academic Researcher, Institute for Advanced Study,, Kyushu University)
We classify maximally enhanced, rank-preserving non-supersymmetric heterotic strings in eight dimensions by studying orbifolds of supersymmetric heterotic strings on T^2.We first review the construction in nine dimensions, where it reproduces the 95 maximally semisimple enhancement points obtained from previous extended-Dynkin analyses. We then start from the maximally enhanced supersymmetric Narain points in eight dimensions and use Kac's theorem to enumerate candidate order-two inner actions, retaining only those that lift to consistent Narain-lattice shifts. This gives 1210 maximal enhancement points, of which 71 are tachyon-free, and 25 have neither tachyons nor shifted-sector massless scalars. For each entry we determine the gauge algebra and the low-lying scalar and fermion spectra, and for the tachyon-free cases we evaluate the one-loop cosmological constant. For the 25 subcases without shifted-sector massless scalars, we further compute the Hessian of the one-loop potential and test the refined de Sitter swampland conjecture.

Seminar
Quantum Creation of the Universe: Reassessing the No-Boundary and Tunneling Proposals
October 30 (Fri) 14:00 - 15:00, 2026
Hiroki Matsui (Researcher, Osaka Central Advanced Mathematical Institute, Osaka Metropolitan University)
How was our Universe created? This is one of the most fundamental questions in cosmology. Quantum cosmology attempts to answer it by using a "wave function of the Universe," and for four decades the discussion has been dominated by two proposals: the no-boundary proposal of Hartle and Hawking, and the tunneling proposal of Vilenkin. The two predict very different initial states for our Universe, yet for a long time there was no common framework in which they could be exactly analyzed and compared. In this talk I will begin with a pedagogical introduction to the wave function of the Universe and to the Lorentzian path integral formulation based on Picard-Lefschetz theory, which makes the gravitational path integral well defined without the ambiguities of the traditional Euclidean approach and allows both proposals to be treated on the same footing. I will then present our recent results. Using Lefschetz-thimble analysis together with resurgence theory, we resolve the Stokes-line ambiguity that had obscured earlier analyses and show that the path integral uniquely yields the tunneling wave function rather than the no-boundary one. The no-boundary saddles nevertheless leave a trace: their contributions exactly cancel the Borel ambiguity of the perturbative quantum-gravity corrections around the tunneling saddle, demonstrating that resurgence is at work in quantum cosmology. I will also discuss what changes beyond general relativity, using Hořava-Lifshitz gravity as a concrete UV-complete example.

Mathematical Application Research Team Meeting #20
October 30 (Fri) 15:30 - 16:45, 2026
Yuya Kodama (Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Kagoshima University)
Mathematical Application Research Team is delighted to welcome Prof. Kodama Yuya from Kagoshima University for an upcoming team meeting. We warmly invite everyone to join us to hear his talk. Title: Thompson's groups and knot theory Abstract: Thompson’s groups were introduced by Richard Thompson in the 1960s. They first appeared in mathematical logic, but they have since been studied in many other areas of mathematics. For example, they were rediscovered in homotopy theory, and some researchers have tried to use them in cryptography. In 2014, Vaughan Jones found an interesting connection between Thompson’s groups and knot theory. In this talk, I will first introduce Thompson’s groups and some of their connections with other areas. I will then explain the basic idea of Jones’s theory. If time permits, I will also mention my joint work with Takano of Osaka University.

Scaling regimes of the 1D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
November 5 (Thu) 17:00 - 18:30, 2026
Liubov Gosteva (Ph.D. Student, LPMMC, Université Grenoble Alpes, France)
The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation describes various phenomena exhibiting chaos and instabilities, including flames, reaction-diffusion processes, and thin liquid film flows. It resembles the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation, with the key difference being the negative "viscosity" in the KS equation. The KS equation is known to belong to the KPZ universality class: at large scales, its statistical properties are governed by the KPZ fixed point, characterized by the dynamical exponent $z=3/2$ and a known PDF of fluctuations. In this talk, I will analyze the stochastic KS equation using the functional renormalization group (FRG). In this framework, attractive fixed points of the FRG equation determine large-scale universal behavior, while unstable fixed points govern small-scale universal behavior. I will show that the two-point correlation function exhibits, besides the KPZ scaling at large scale, another universal scaling regime at small scale, with $z=1$. This scaling is very robust as it is intrinsic to the KS dynamics. It arises from the vanishing of the effective viscosity when evolving from its microscopic negative KS value, to its macroscopic effective positive KPZ value. I will also present results from direct numerical simulations, which confirm these findings.

Pawel Caputa (Professor, Stockholm University, Sweden)In the past 20 years, there has been significant progress in our understanding of quantum gravity based on AdS/CFT. Recently, study of quantum gravity beyond AdS/CFT attracts a lot of attention, where there is no longer an asymptotically AdS boundary on which we can perform measurements with infinite accuracy. Thus it is important to understand observables in gravitational spacetimes with no asymptotic AdS boundaries, what an observer experiences and measures in such a spacetime, and what is the microscopic theory that describes them. This workshop aims to gather researchers in the this subject to exchange cutting edge ideas, aiming to establish new research directions and collaborations.

Meeting
iTHEMS NOW & NEXT 2027
July 13 (Tue) - 15 (Thu) 2027
We will hold our annual gathering, **“iTHEMS NOW & NEXT 2027,” from July 13 to 15, 2027**. iTHEMS NOW & NEXT has traditionally been a two-day in-house event, providing an important opportunity for all iTHEMS members, including visiting researchers and new members, to gain a comprehensive overview of current activities across iTHEMS, to learn about research beyond their own fields, and to discuss where iTHEMS should go next. In 2027, we will **expand NOW & NEXT from two to three days** and, for the first time, invite leading researchers from outside iTHEMS across a broad range of research fields. While the first two days will retain the main character of our traditional in-house gathering, the extended three-day format is intended to create a broader opportunity for scientific exchange and, in particular, to enable leading researchers from outside iTHEMS to become better acquainted with our research activities and with the researchers who make up the iTHEMS community. As in previous years, the program will present activities across iTHEMS, including those of its divisions, research teams, working groups, and study groups, together with research presentations and poster sessions by iTHEMS members. Particular emphasis will be placed on communication across disciplinary and organizational boundaries and on identifying emerging research directions and opportunities for new collaborations. The additional third day will build on the presentations and discussions of the preceding two days and provide an opportunity for invited researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the breadth and strengths of research at iTHEMS and to interact directly with our members. We hope that these exchanges will not only introduce iTHEMS and its researchers more widely to leading scientists in different fields, but also bring new perspectives to our community and open possibilities for future scientific interactions and collaborations. Through this expanded three-day NOW & NEXT 2027, we hope to share where iTHEMS is now and where it is heading next, both within our own community and with leading researchers from outside iTHEMS, and to explore together new possibilities for the future development of iTHEMS.
