Mathematical Application Research Team Meeting #13

2026年3月6日(金) 14:00 - 15:00

地引 知栄 (東京科学大学 理学院 数学科 博士課程)

The Mathematical Application Research Team is pleased to welcome Chiyaha Jibiki, who will join the team as an SPDR in April. He will give a talk at this meeting prior to his official start date. Everyone is welcome to join the meeting. Title: Left-Orders and Dynamics: Applications to Hyperbolic Geometry and Low-Dimensional Topology Abstract: A left-order on a group is a total order that is invariant under left-multiplication. The concept dates back to the early 20th century, when Dedekind and Hölder characterized the natural order on the real line purely in terms of group actions. In the 21st century, this theory has evolved significantly through connections with discrete dynamical systems. Currently, there is active research linking geometric structures to left-orders on geometrically significant groups, such as fundamental groups and mapping class groups. In this talk, I will introduce the framework of left-order theory, starting from the simple perspective of binary operations on infinite sets. I will then provide an overview of the field by presenting, as much as possible, the diverse applications arising from its high versatility. In particular, I will discuss the speaker's recent results concerning the structure of the space of left-orders (comparisons between left-orders) and methods for constructing specific left-orders. This talk includes joint work with Shuhei Maruyama (Kanazawa University).

Mathematical Application Research Team Meeting #12

2026年2月6日(金) 14:00 - 15:30

リッカルド・ムオロ (理化学研究所 数理創造研究センター (iTHEMS) 数理基礎部門 基礎科学特別研究員)

Mathematical Application Research Team invites Riccardo Muolo fom Division of Fundamental Mathematical Science to this meeting. You are welcome to join the meeting. Title: Dynamics beyond nodes: a topological framework for oscillatory dynamics on higher-order networks Abstract: In recent years, increasing attention has been given to dynamical processes taking place on higher-order networks, where interactions are not limited to links, but may involve also higher-dimensional simplices [1]. While classical network models assume that state variables live on nodes and interact through links, many real systems — including brain, climate, and transportation systems — cannot be fully described within this node-centric perspective [2]. In this seminar, I will introduce the framework of higher-order networks and the concept of topological signals, namely, dynamical variables defined on simplices of higher dimensions. I will briefly present the basic tools required for this setting, including elementary notions of discrete calculus, discrete topology and geometric algebra, which serve as the mathematical foundation for modeling dynamical processes beyond the node-based paradigm. Next, I will discuss models of oscillatory dynamics extended to this framework. First, I will present the topological Kuramoto model [3], in which phases are not restricted to nodes but may also be associated with links, and where the coupling arises from the combinatorial structure of the simplicial complex. Then, I will introduce the discrete Hodge Laplacian and the Dirac-Bianconi operator [4], the former generalizing diffusive interactions to the higher-order setting, while the latter provides cross-talk between signals defined on simplices of different dimensions. Finally, I will introduce the notion of Dirac-Bianconi driven oscillators, where the dynamics of node- and link-signals coexist, interact and may give rise to collective oscillatory behaviors [5].

Mathematical Application Research Team Meeting #11

松浦 壮 (慶応義塾大学 日吉物理学教室 教授)

Mathematical Application Research Team invites Prof. So Matsuura from Keio University for this meeting. You are welcome to join the meeting. Title: Phases and Duality in Fundamental Kazakov-Migdal Model on the Graph Abstract: In this talk, we will explore the fundamental Kazakov-Migdal (FKM) model on a generic graph, where the partition function is represented by the Ihara zeta function weighted by unitary matrices. The effective action of the FKM model is described by a summation of all Wilson loops on the graph, which can be regarded as an extension of the usual Wilson action in lattice gauge theory. We show that the FKM model on regular graphs exhibits an exact strong/weak coupling duality, reflecting the functional equation of the Ihara zeta function. We also discuss the relation between the stability of the FKM model and the pole distribution of the Ihara zeta function. Interestingly, the FKM model universally exhibits the so-called Gross-Witten-Wadia (GWW) phase transitions. We estimate the phase structure of the FKM model in both small and large coupling regions, which is validated through numerical simulations. If time permits, we will examine the phase transition of the FKM model from the Young diagram perspective and discuss its relation with the GWW phase transition indicated by the eigenvalue distribution.

The title and the abstract of her talk are: Title: Mixed state topological order: operator algebraic approach Abstract: We consider anyons in mixed states of two-dimensional quantum spin systems within the operator-algebraic framework of quantum statistical mechanics. To each state satisfying a mixed-state version of approximate Haag duality, we associate a braided C*-tensor category, which we interpret as describing the anyonic excitations of the state. We then investigate how these anyonic structures behave under interactions with the environment.

New horizons in immersive visualization at iTHEMS

2024年3月14日(木) 14:00 - 16:00

ジル・フェラン (Adjunct Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manitoba, Canada)

Visualization is an essential part of research, both to explore one’s data and to communicate one’s findings with others. Data that are 3-dimensional can be explored in a more natural way using virtual reality devices. iTHEMS recently purchased new VR headsets with advanced capabilities (Meta Quest Pro). The meeting will start with a general introduction to the current state of the VR space. Then, participants may individually experience a demonstration with the new headsets (showing research done at the ABBL on supernovae and their remnants). There will be ample time for questions and discussions. Come and discover how such tools can be used to enhance our research.
