Title: Stabilization of fluid flows using reduced order model based on spectral projections
Abstract: We will present results concerning the stabilization of fluid flows, or systems coupling fluid flow equations with convection-diffusion equations. We are interested in the local stabilization around unstable stationary solutions. We build feedback laws (in the case of total information) for reduced models defined by spectral projection. We prove, in some of the studied cases, that the feedback law defined from the reduced model also stabilizes the initial system with an exponential decay rate a priori fixed. We also establish convergence rates of feedback laws for models approximated by a Finite Element Method towards the feedback law of the original model. This approach can be used by other type of approximation. This work is in collaboration with M. Badra (IMT).
This numerical approach has been used in a series of papers with many collaborators (even if, as mentioned above, all the assumptions, ensuring convergence rates of approximate feedback laws, have not yet been proved in all these cases).

Building connections between time series data, outbreak investigation, and phylogenetics to create predictive disease transmission models

Title: Building connections between time series data, outbreak investigation, and phylogenetics to create predictive disease transmission models
Abstract:
In this talk, I describe a biologically motivated signal processing approach for building a compartmental, stochastic process model of disease transmission, where the process's mean and variance have distinct dynamics. I apply the approach to COVID-19 time series data from Washington state from January 2020 to March 2021, and I find that the model's hidden states, like population prevalence, agree with survey and other estimates. Then, in the talk's second part, I demonstrate that the same model can be reframed as a branching process with a dynamic degree distribution. This perspective leads to a sampling approach to generate collections of approximate transmission trees, a transmission forest, which I use to estimate some higher order statistics, like the clustering of cases as outbreaks. I find that these predictions are consistent with related observations from outbreak investigations and phylogenetics, suggesting deeper connections between time series volatility and more individualistic measures of disease transmission. Finally, to conclude, I apply similar principles to data on measles transmission in Nigeria, to illustrate the generality of the ideas and to build in this case a more structured model capable of forecasting risk, and I describe how these models are currently being used to inform vaccination strategy.

Title: The Theory of F-rational Signature
Abstract: The celebrated results of Smith, Hara, and Mehta-Srinivas connect rational singularities in characteristic zero after reduction to characteristic p > 0 with F-rational singularities. In recent years, a number of invariants defined via Frobenius in positive characteristics have been introduced as quantitative measures of F-rationality. These include the F-rational signature (Hochster-Yao), relative F-rational signature (Smirnov-Tucker), and dual F-signature (Sannai). In this talk, I will discuss new results in joint work with Smirnov relating each of these invariants. In particular, we show that the relative F-rational signature and dual F-signature coincide, while also verifying that the dual F-signature limit converges.

Speaker: M. S. Raghunathan, CEBS, MumbaiTitle: Compact Lie groups and their representations
Abstract: In this course I will first talk about the structure theory of compact Lie groups, beginning with the fact that a compact connected Lie group is an almost direct product of the identity connected component of its centre and its commutator subgroup (which is closed subgroup) conjugacy of maximal tori and the fact that every element is contained in a maximal torus. In the course of proving these results, some results on the topology of compact Lie groups which will also be proved. I will then establish Weyl's theorem which asserts that if G is a compact connected Lie group and [G, G]=G, π_1(G,e) is finite (and hence the universal covering of a compact group whose abelianisation is trivial is compact.
Then I will introduce roots and weights and the Dynkin diagram of the compact group and sketch a proof of the fact that the Dynkin diagram determines the group locally. The remaining lectures will be devoted to representation theory. I will establish the bijective correspondence between 'Dominant Weights' and irreducible representations. The course will end with the Weyl Character Formula for the character of an irreducible representation corresponding to a 'dominant' weight. The entire theory is essentially the same as the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. I will off and on indicate how the two are related.
I will be assuming some familiarity with basic theory of Lie groups such as the correspondence between Lie sub-algebras of the Lie group and Lie subgroups of the Lie groups, also with some basic results from algebraic topology.

Title: Possible Hazards of Some Popular Hazard Rate Models
Abstract: The Cox proportional hazard (PH) model is widely used to determine the effects of risk factors and treatments on survival time of subjects that might be right censored. The selection of covariates depends crucially on the specific form of the conditional hazard model, which is often assumed to be PH, accelerated failure time (AFT), or proportional odds (PO). However, it is shown that none of these semiparametric models allow for the crossing of the survival functions and hence such assumptions, although popular, may adversely affect the selection of risk factors. Moreover, the most commonly used PH assumption may also be violated when there is a delayed effect of the risk factors. A sequence of Bernstein polynomials based model is instead presented which provides (i) a smooth estimator of the conditional hazard and can be shown to be a unique solution of a strictly convex optimization problem; making it computationally attractive, (ii) a model that encompasses PH structure, and (iii) large sample properties including consistency and convergence rates can be established under a set of mild regularity conditions. Empirical results based on several simulated data scenarios indicate the superior performances of the model, and thereby shown to avoid possible hazards of some of the commonly used hazard rate models. The presentation is based on some ongoing work and the following published articles: (i) Osman and Ghosh (2012) and (ii) Sheng and Ghosh (2019).

In this talk I will consider semi-algebraic subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ which are defined by symmetric polynomials and are thus stable under the standard action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. The homology groups (with rational coefficients) of such sets thus acquire extra structure as $\mathfrak{S}_n$-modules leading to possible refinements on the classical bounds. I will also mention some connections with a homological stability conjecture. Joint work (separately) with Daniel Perrucci and Cordian Riener.

Title: Online lecture series on extreme value theory
Abstract: In Part I of this lecture series, I will try first to provide an overview of the modelling aspects, avoiding mathematical details as much as possible. A basic understanding of probability is a must. Basic real analysis is also a must (convergence of a sequence and sequence of functions are essential). It will involve some knowledge of the convergence concepts in probability. I will try to explain this whenever needed and feel free to ask any questions in case of any confusion. However, a good understanding of the convergence concepts in probability and functions will make the lectures more accessible and appealing.

Title: Perturbations of ideals in local rings
Abstract: Let I be an ideal of a Noetherian local ring R. We study how properties of the ideal change under small perturbations, that is, when I is replaced by an ideal J which is the same as I modulo a large power of the maximal ideal. In particular, assuming that R/J has the same Hilbert function as R/I, we show that the Betti numbers of R/J coincide with those of R/I. We also compare the local cohomology modules of R/J with those of R/I.
