Un après-midi de théorie des groupes – Xenia Flamm, Vlerë Mehmeti, Anna Ben-Hamou

Salle W

14.00 - 14.45 : Xenia Flamm (MPI Leipzig - IHES)  Title: Positive representations and non-Archimedean ordered fields Summary: Positive representations were introduced by Olivier Guichard and Anna Wienhard in their foundational work on higher Teichmüller theory. In this talk, we propose a notion of positive representation from the fundamental group of a (possibly non-closed) hyperbolic surface into the k-points of a reductive algebraic group, where k is an ordered field. Our approach provides a common framework that simultaneously extends the classical theory for closed surfaces and real Lie groups. We focus on the non-Archimedean case, […]

Automath! Assia Mahboubi: Computer-assisted mathematics

ENS Salle Dussane

For more than half a century, computers have become essential research tools in many areas of fundamental mathematics. They have dramatically expanded the scope of experimentation and visualization, thereby becoming valuable assistants in the formulation of conjectures. They also play an increasing role in the discovery and verification of proofs. This phenomenon largely predates the rise of AI, although recent advances in artificial intelligence considerably amplify its impact. This talk will discuss the role of computer tools in contemporary mathematics, with a particular focus on the potential impact of the […]

Computer-Assisted Proofs of 3D Euler Singularity and Nonuniqueness of Leray–Hopf Solutions for the Unforced 3D Navier–Stokes Equations

Salle W - ENS PSL 45 rue d'Ulm, Paris, France

Speaker: Thomas Hou (Caltech) Whether the 3D incompressible Euler equations can develop a finite-time singularity from smooth initial data remains one of the central open problems in nonlinear PDEs. In this talk, I will present recent joint work with Dr. Jiajie Chen, in which we rigorously prove finite-time blowup for the 2D Boussinesq equations and the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations with smooth initial data and smooth boundary. Our approach uses a dynamically rescaled formulation that reduces singularity formation to the long-time stability of an approximate self-similar blowup profile. A key […]
