Cosmology 101 - expanding universe and inflationary cosmology
難波 亮 (数理創造プログラム 上級研究員)
I am a new member of RIKEN iTHEMS and working on several aspects of theoretical cosmology. As a partial self-introduction and introduction to the field, I would like to discuss some basics of cosmology, making it accessible by the iTHEMS members in different areas of expertise. In this short coffee meeting talk, my main focus is the evolution of the universe and the physics during its earliest period.

Reducing complexity and pursuing reality in computational biophysics
杉田 有治 (数理創造プログラム 上級研究員 / 理化学研究所 開拓研究本部 (CPR) 杉田理論分子科学研究室 主任研究員)
The basic unit of all the living matters is a cell, where huge number of biomolecules exist and express their biological functions. When we aim to study biological systems in computational biophysics, we always encounter many problems originated from the complexity of the systems. Reducing complexity has been one of the most essential issues in computational biophysics, while too much simplifications may lose the reality of biological phenomena. I would like to discuss several key mathematical concepts that have been used in computational biophysics for reducing complexity and pursuing reality of biology in the cell.

Building something from nothing: a mathematical framework for aperiodic/amorphous sets
クリストファー・ボーン (数理創造プログラム 客員研究員 / 東北大学 材料科学高等研究所 (AIMR) 助教)

Density Functional Theory from Functional Renormalization Group
横田 猛 (数理創造プログラム 基礎科学特別研究員 / 東京大学 物性研究所 特別研究員)
In this talk, I will give a brief introduction of density functional theory. I will also talk about our recent attempt to improve density functional theory for electron systems by use of the functional renormalization group.

Spin transport in ultracold atomic superfluids
関野 裕太 (数理創造プログラム 訪問研究員)
I will briefly introduce transport phenomena of spin in ultracold atomic gases in a superfluid phase

Hunting the standard candles in their own nest
マリア・ジョヴァンナ・ダイノッティ (NAOJ/Space Science Institute)
I will introduce briefly the concept of Standard candles and how Gamma-Ray Bursts can be used as standardized candles through a new three-dimensional relation among important features of GRBs and how the kilonovae events associated with GRBs form a plane can naturally form a different plane with a much smaller dispersion around the plane.

Sensitivity and robustness of chemical reaction network systems
岡田 崇 (数理創造プログラム 上級研究員)
In living cellls, many reactions occur and form complex networks, such as metabolic networks. I will discuss how biological functions can emerge from the complex network dynamics, from network topology perspectives.

Kazuya Mameda (QHP)
I will briefly talk about transport phenomena induced by a background gravitational field.

information scrambling is growth of wormwhole
野﨑 雅弘 (数理創造プログラム 基礎科学特別研究員)
I will explain what is the information scrambling, why it is important, and how it is related to the growth of wormhole.

Active and Passive Phase Separation in a Lattice Model
足立 景亮 (数理創造プログラム 基礎科学特別研究員 / 理化学研究所 生命機能科学研究センター (BDR) 生体非平衡物理学理研白眉研究チーム 基礎科学特別研究員)
Phase separation is spontaneous segregation into high-density and low-density phases, observed in a variety of systems, e.g., alloy, polymer solution, and intracellular cytoplasm. In this talk, I will review the phase separation phenomena and introduce a model that connects the equilibrium phase separation to another class of separation driven by motility.

Toward the standard model of elementary particles -- a brief history in 15 min. --
初田 哲男 (数理創造プログラム プログラムディレクター)
I will make a very brief overview on the path toward the modern understanding on the law(s) of fundamental particles.

Mathematical analysis to smoldering combustion
小林 俊介 (数理創造プログラム 客員研究員 / 京都大学 大学院理学研究科 附属サイエンス連携探索センター (SACRA) 特定助教)
Recently, experimental and theoretical study on near-floor flame spreading along a thin solid have been reported. In this talk, I would like to introduce a mathematical model for flame/smoldering fronts, which is equivalent to the Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation in a scale.

Is a vacuum empty?
多田 司 (数理創造プログラム コーディネーター / 理化学研究所 仁科加速器科学研究センター (RNC) 量子ハドロン物理学研究室 副主任研究員)
Usually, a vacuum is a word associated with nothingness. The modern concept of the vacuum, however, exhibits rich and beautiful structure. I will explain the vacuum is the very foundation of our universe.

Revealing the Neutron Star Properties from Gravitional Wave
黄 永嘉 (数理創造プログラム 国際プログラム・アソシエイト / Ph.D. Student, University of Science and Technology of China, China)
The gravitational wave detection brings us new opportunities to measure the neutron stars' properties. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the process of binary neutron star merger and what we could know from gravitational wave.

Elucidation of Physics inside Neutron Stars from their Cooling Observations
土肥 明 (数理創造プログラム 大学院生リサーチ・アソシエイト / 九州大学 大学院理学府 物理学専攻 博士課程)
The densest stars in universe, neutron stars (NSs), cool down due to neutrino losses after their formation. Firstly, I will review about the NS cooling and the representative observations such as Cassiopeia A and possibly NS in supernova 1987A. NS cooling curves are affected by various uncertain physics which may work in NSs. One of the examples is nucleon superfluidty. I will introduce how the neutrons superfluidity can be specified by cooling observations. Another is modified-gravity or beyond-general-relativistic effect. If time is allowed, I also present the possibility to test the theory to describe gravity with use of cooling observations.

Quasi-steady problem and maximal regularity
古川 賢 (数理創造プログラム 特別研究員 / 理化学研究所 開拓研究本部 (CPR) 三好予測科学研究室 特別研究員)

Recent progress in understanding the diversity of eukaryotes based on large scale sequence data-analyses
矢﨑 裕規 (数理創造プログラム 特別研究員)
Understanding the phylogenetic relationships of eukaryotes is one of the major research issues in evolutionary biology, since this is the backbone of all eukaryotic evolutionary studies. This research has the history of more than 300 years, and recent statistical analyses using large-scale sequence data has revealed significant progress. I would like to give an overview of the researches for elucidating the phylogenetic relationship of eukaryotes.
