Time-dependent driven quantum critical systems in (1+1) dimension
2021年1月18日(月) 10:00 - 11:15
Xueda Wen (Postdocs, Physics Department, Harvard University, USA)
10:00am ~ 11:15am on Jan. 18th, 2021 (JST) 8:00pm ~ 9:15pm on Jan. 17th, 2021 (EST) I will introduce an analytically solvable setup for time-dependent driven quantum critical systems in (1+1)D, whose low-energy physics are described by conformal field theories. In general, one may observe two different phases (heating and non-heating), where the correlation functions such as the entanglement entropy and energy-momentum density can be analytically solved. The dependence of phase diagrams on (i) the types of driving Hamiltonians and (ii) the types of driving sequences (such as periodic, quasi-periodic and random drivings) will be discussed.

What are genes and how can we find them?
2021年1月14日(木) 10:00 - 11:00
ジェフリ・フォーセット (数理創造プログラム 上級研究員)
Although 'gene' is a word that is used frequently in the society, most people probably do not know what genes actually are. In fact, its definition is not so straightforward. In this talk, I will first give a historical perspective and our current understanding of what genes are and what they look like. Then, I will talk about 'gene prediction'. Once we obtain the DNA (genome) sequence data of a given species, we must 'find' the genes within the genome. This involves computational prediction utilizing probabilistic models and various sources of external evidence. I will briefly explain how this is done.

Accelerated equilibration in classical stochastic systems
2021年1月13日(水) 13:00 - 14:00
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)
Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) [1] are processes that make a given quantum state evolve into a target state in a fast manner, which can be useful to avoid decoherence in quantum experiments. In this journal club, I will concisely review the concept of STA, and then focus on the recently proposed classical counterparts of STA, sometimes called engineered swift equilibration, in Brownian particle systems [2] and evolutionary systems [3].

From local resynchronization to global pattern recovery in the zebrafish segmentation clock
2021年1月7日(木) 10:00 - 11:00
瓜生 耕一郎 (金沢大学 生命理工学類 助教)
Tissue-scale developmental patterns are often generated by local cellular interactions and global tissue deformation. An example is gene expression rhythms in vertebrate, termed the segmentation clock. The oscillatory spatial pattern of the segmentation clock across a tissue determines the timing of body segment formation. In this seminar, we discuss pattern recovery in the zebrafish segmentation clock after perturbation in oscillator coupling. To predict pattern recovery in embryos, we develop a physical model that describes both cell mechanics and genetic oscillations. We show that the physical model explains experimentally observed intermingled segmental defects, and their axial distributions in different embryonic developmental stages. Our analysis suggests that pattern recovery in developing tissues occurs at two scales; local pattern formation and transport of these patterns through tissue morphogenesis.

Mathematical model-based quantitative data analysis for COVID-19
2020年12月22日(火) 10:00 - 11:00
岩見 真吾 (九州大学 大学院理学研究院 生物科学部門数理生物学研究室 准教授)
The recent spread of corona threatens the health of people around the world. We urgently need strategies to reduce COVID-19 spread and to enhance antiviral drug development for individual patients. Mathematics could contribute to control of COVID-19 pandemic by informing decisions about pandemic planning, resource allocation, and implementation of social distancing measures and other interventions. My group is conducting interdisciplinary research to elucidate "Quantitative Population Dynamics" with original mathematical theory and computational simulation, which are both our CORE approach. Our mathematical model-based approach has quantitatively improved a current gold-standard approach essentially relying on the statistical analysis of "snapshot data" during dynamic interaction processes in virus infection. In my talk, I would like to discuss how our approach improves our current understanding of COVID-19 research, and help an establishment of a "standard antiviral treatment" for COVID-19 as well.

Classical liquids and functional renormalization group
2020年12月17日(木) 13:00 - 14:30
横田 猛 (東京大学 物性研究所 特別研究員)
Development of methods for classical statistical mechanics is desired for accurate predictions of the structures and thermodynamic properties of liquids. A powerful framework to describe classical liquids is density functional theory (DFT). In the quantum case, there have been recent attempts to develop accurate methods with combining DFT and the functional renormalization group (FRG), which is another framework to deal with many-body systems utilizing evolution equations, and such approaches are expected to work also in the classical case. In this presentation, I will talk about a new approach for classical liquids aided by FRG. The formalism and some ideas to incorporate higher-order correlation functions to systematically improve the accuracy will be shown. I will also present a numerical demonstration in a one-dimensional exactly solvable system and discuss the results by comparing to other conventional methods such as the hypernetted chain.

Autoimmune diseases initiated by pathogen infection: mathematical modeling
2020年12月17日(木) 10:00 - 11:00
原 朱音 (九州大学 システム生命科学府 一貫制博士課程)
The pathogen with proteins similar to host’s proteins is likely to cause autoimmunity, which is called “molecular mimicry”. To understand the mechanism of autoimmunity development caused by pathogen infection, we considered the following scenario: the infection activates the immune system, which results in clearance of pathogens, and the enhanced immune responses to the host’s body may remain and attack the host’s cells after the pathogen clearance. We developed a mathematical model describing the dynamics of T helper (Th) cells, viruses, self-antigens, and memory T cells and identified the conditions necessary to realize the scenario. We considered the cross-immunity of three different modes of action: [1] virus elimination by Th cells reactive to the self-antigen, [2] activation of Th cells reactive to viruses by self-antigens and Th cells reactive to self-antigens by viruses, and [3] enhancement of immune responses to self-antigens by Th cells reactive to viruses after the infection. The cross-immunity of type [3] was found to be most important for autoimmunity development. In contrast, [1] and [2] suppressed autoimmunity by effectively decreasing the viral abundance.

Quantum Wasserstein distance of order 1
2020年12月16日(水) 13:00 - 14:30
濱崎 立資 (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) 濱崎非平衡量子統計力学理研白眉研究チーム 理研白眉研究チームリーダー)
The Wasserstein distance is an indicator for the closeness of two probability distributions and is applied to various fields ranging from information theory to neural networks [1]. It is particularly useful to treat the geometry of the underlying space, such as tensor-product structures. In this journal club, I talk about one of the recent proposals on quantum extension of the Wasserstein distance [2]. After reviewing basic properties of classical Wasserstein distance, e.g., its relation to concentration phenomena, I discuss how they might be generalized to quantum realm.

Statistical model for meaning representation of language
2020年12月16日(水) 10:30 - 12:00
吉野 幸一郎 (理化学研究所 科技ハブ産連本部 (RCSTI) ロボティクスプロジェクト チームリーダー)
One of the final goals of natural language processing is building a model to capture the semantic meaning of language elements. Language modeling is a recent research trend to build a statistical model to express the meaning of language. The language model is based on the distributional hypothesis. The distributional hypothesis indicates that the surrounding elements of the target element describe the meaning of the element. In other words, relative positions between sentence elements (morphologies, words, and sentences) are essential to know the element's meaning. Recent works on distributed representation mainly focus on relations between clear elements: characters, morphologies, words, and sentences. However, it is essential to use structural information of languages such as dependency and semantic roles for building a human-understandable statistical model of languages. In this talk, we describe the statistical language model's basis and then discuss our research direction to introduce the language structure.

Non-perturbative tests of duality cascades in three dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories
2020年12月14日(月) 16:00 - 18:10
久保 尚敬 (京都大学 基礎物理学研究所 特別研究員)
M2-brane is an interesting object in M-theory and string theory. A three-dimensional 𝒩=6 super conformal Chern Simons theory with gauge group U(𝑁1)×𝑈(𝑁2), called ABJ theory, describes the low energy behavior of M2-brane On the one hand, it has been considered that when |𝑁1−𝑁2| is larger than the absolute value of Chern Simons level, the supersymmetry is broken. On the other hand, it was predicted that an interesting phenomenon called duality cascade occurs, and supersymmetry is not broken in some cases. Motivated by this situation, we performed non-perturbative tests by focusing on the partitionfunction on 𝑆3. The result strongly suggests that the duality cascade indeed occurs. We also proposed that the duality cascade occurs in theories with more general gauge groups and we performed non-perturbative tests in the same way. I will review and explain our physical prediction in the first half of my talk. In the second half of my talk , I will explain the non-perturbative tests . This part is mathematical because the partition function reduces to a matrix model by using the supersymmetric localization technique.

Conserved charges in gravity and entropy
2020年12月10日(木) 13:00 - 14:30
青木 愼也 (京都大学 基礎物理学研究所 教授)
We propose a manifestly covariant definition of a conserved charge in gravity. We first define a charge density from the energy momentum tensor with a Killing vector, if exists in the system, and calculate the energy (and angular momentum) of the black hole by a volume integral. Our definition of energy leads to a correction of the known mass formula of a compact star, which includes the gravitational interaction energy and is shown to be 68\% of the leading term in some case. Secondly we propose a new method to define a conserved charge in the absence of Killing vectors, and argue that the conserved charge can be regarded as entropy, by showing the 1st law of thermodynamic for a special case. We apply this new definition to the expanding universe, gravitational plane waves and the black hole. We discuss future directions of our research.

How to obtain the large amount of sequence data from the eukaryote
2020年12月10日(木) 10:00 - 11:00
矢﨑 裕規 (数理創造プログラム 特別研究員)
Most of the modern biology is supported by genetic sequence data. Recent advances in sequencing technology have made it possible to obtain comprehensive and large numbers of sequence data from a small amount of samples, which are deposited in public databases and are easily available. In this talk, I want to give an overview of how these large scale sequence data are obtained from samples and how they become available for us to use in our biological studies, through my eukaryotic sequence studies.

田中 章詞 (数理創造プログラム 上級研究員)
The practical updating process of deep neural networks based on stochastic gradient descent is quite similar to stochastic dynamics described by Langevin equation. Under the Langevin system, we can "derive" 2nd law of thermodynamics, i.e. increasing the total entropy of the system. This fact suggests "2nd law of thermodynamics in deep learning." In this talk, I would like to explain this idea roughly, and there will be no concrete new result, but it may provide us new perspectives to study neural networks, I hope.

Scattering theory for half-line Schrödinger operators: analytic and topological results
2020年12月7日(月) 16:00 - 18:10
井上 秀樹 (名古屋大学)
Levinson’s theorem is a surprising result in quantum scattering theory, which relates the number of bound states and the scattering part of the underlying quantum system. For the last about ten years, it has been proved for several models that once recast in an operator algebraic framework this relation can be understood as an index theorem for the Møller wave operators. Resulting index theorems are called topological version of Levinson’s theorem or shortly topological Levinson’s theorem. In this talk, we first review the background and the framework of our investigation. New analytical and topological results are provided for Schrödinger operators on the half-line. This talk is based on my Ph.D thesis.

KPZ equation, attractive bosons, and the Efimov effect
2020年12月3日(木) 13:00 - 14:30
西田 祐介 (東京工業大学 理学院 物理学系 准教授)
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation for surface growth has been a paradigmatic model in nonequilibrium statistical physics. In particular, it in dimensions higher than two undergoes a roughening transition from smooth to rough phases with increasing the nonlinearity. It is also known that the KPZ equation can be mapped onto quantum mechanics of attractive bosons with a contact interaction, where the roughening transition corresponds to a binding transition of two bosons with increasing the attraction. Such critical bosons in three dimensions actually exhibit the Efimov effect, where a three-boson coupling turns out to be relevant under the renormalization group so as to break the scale invariance down to discrete one. On the basis of these facts linking the two distinct subjects in physics, we predict that the KPZ roughening transition in three dimensions shows either the discrete scale invariance or no intrinsic scale invariance.

Directional dark matter search and the technologies
2020年12月3日(木) 10:00 - 11:00
中 竜大 (東邦大学 理学部物理学科 講師 / 名古屋大学 素粒子宇宙起源研究所 (KMI) 特任助教)
For identification of the dark matter, various methodologies are required. Especially, the direct detection is one of the most important goals to directly understand itself. Now, there are various technologies for direct detection, but almost all detectors have no direction sensitivity. We can obtain essential information such as dependence of motion between the earth and the dark matter, velocity distribution and background from direction information, therefore that becomes a very important methodology to identify the dark matter for future as long as we consider "particle dark matter". In this seminar, I report about the potential of direction sensitive dark matter search and current experimental effort.

Flat and spherical surface approximations
2020年11月30日(月) 16:00 - 17:30
スクロツキ マーティン (数理創造プログラム 客員研究員 / Fellow, German Academic Scholarship Foundation, Germany)
State-of-the-art acquisition devices produce surface representations of increasingly high resolution. While these detailed representations are important for production, they are problematic e.g. when exchanging drafts via the internet or when a quick rendering for comparison is necessary. In the first part of the talk, I will present results and further research questions from a paper I recently co-authored on 'Variational Shape Approximation'. This approach aims at linearizing the input surface and representing it via a set of localized planar segments. In the second part of the talk, I will present some ongoing research on surface representations via balls. This work started with constructions from spherical neodym magnets and provided a set of mathematical questions. These investigations are joint work with FU Berlin and OIST.

Rotifer can be a good model organism for theoretical biology
2020年11月27日(金) 10:00 - 11:00
小南 友里 (東京大学 大学院農学生命科学研究科 特任助教)
Rotifers are cylindrical zooplankton which constitute the phylum Rotifera. They have organs and tissues including ganglia, muscles, digestive organs, ovaries, and sensory organs in their <1mm body. Rotifers are suitable for the study on the population dynamics and longevity due to their short generation time. Furthermore the most attractive characteristic of the rotifers is asexual propagation, makes it easy to obtain clonal cultures. The genomic and transcriptomic database are developed and molecular biological techniques such as RNAi for using rotifers have been established. In this seminar, other attractive characteristics of rotifer as a model organism for theoretical biology and great studies using rotifers will be introduced. Our recent results of investigating the effects of calorie condition on longevity will be discussed.
