Resolvent method in complex analysis and geometric function theory

Historically, complex dynamics and geometrical function theory have been intensively developed from the beginning of the twentieth century. They provide the foundations for broad areas of mathematics. In the last fifty years the theory of holomorphic mappings on complex spaces has been studied by many mathematicians with many applications to nonlinear analysis, functional analysis, differential equations, classical and quantum mechanics. The laws of dynamics are usually presented as equations of motion which are written in the abstract form of a dynamical system: ((dx)/(dt))+f(x)=0, where x is a variable describing the state of the system under study, and f is a vector-function of x. The study of such systems when f is a monotone or an accretive (generally nonlinear) operator on the underlying space has been recently the subject of much research by analysts working on quite a variety of interesting topics, including boundary value problems, integral equations and evolution problems. There is a long history associated with the problem on iterating holomorphic mappings and their fixed points, the work of G. Julia, J. Wolff and C. Carathéodory being among the most important. In this talk we give a brief description of the classical statements which combine celebrated Julia's Theorem in 1920 , Carathéodory's contribution in 1929 and Wolff's boundary version of the Schwarz Lemma in 1926 and their modern interpretations. Also we present some applications of complex dynamical systems to geometry of domains in complex spaces and operator theory.

Metric ultraproducts of groups: simplicity and amenability

My talk will be about groups equipped with bi-invariant metrics/norms. I will explain, in elementary terms, both uniform metric amenability and uniform metric simplicity of groups; including examples and potential applications. These generalize, respectively, the previously studied notions of uniform amenability and uniform simplicity.

Analysis and probability on finite quantum groups and dual groups

Logo NAWA

In this talk, we will first present a result from Diaconis, Shahshahani and Evans. Let M be a random matrix chosen from the unitary group $U(n)$ and distributed according to the Haar measure. Then, for $j\in \mathbb N$, ${\rm Tr}(M^j)$ are independent and distributed as some complex Gaussian random variables when $n\to \infty$. We will look at this type of result in the framework of finite quantum groups and then in the unitary dual group.

The talk is a part of the Polonium programme, co-financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA).

Multiscale conservation laws driven by Levy stable and Linnik diffusions: asymptotics, explicit representations, shock creation, preservation and dissolution

We will discuss the interplay between the nonlinear and nonlocal components of the evolution equations. In the particular case of supercritical multifractal conservation laws (CL) the asymptotic behavior, as $t \neq 1$, is dictated by the linearized case. For $\alpha < 1 $, the equations driven by infinitesimal generators of Levy -stable diffusions the solution exhibit shocks (for bounded, odd, and convex on $\mathbb R^+$, initial data) which disappear over a nite time. For Levy -Linnik diffusions, $0 < \alpha < 2$ , the local behavior is strikingly different. The relevant CLs display shocks that do not dissipate over time.

Fock representations of multicomponent commutation relations

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space and $T$ be a self-adjoint bounded linear operator on $H^{\otimes 2}$ with norm $\le1$, satisfying the Yang-Baxter equation. Bożejko and Speicher (1994) proved that the operator $T$ determines a $T$-deformed Fock space $\mathcal F(H)=\bigoplus_{n=0}^\infty\mathcal F_n(H)$. We start with reviewing and extending the known results about the structure of the $n$-particle spaces $\mathcal F_n(H)$ and the commutation relations satisfied by the corresponding creation and annihilation operators acting on $\mathcal F(H)$. We then choose $H=L^2(X\to V)$, the $L^2$-space of $V$-valued functions on $X$. Here $X:=\mathbb R^d$ and $V:=\mathbb C^m$ with $m\ge2$. Furthermore, we assume that the operator $T$ acting on $H^{\otimes 2}=L^2(X^2\to V^{\otimes 2})$ is given by $(Tf^{(2)})(x,y)=C_{x,y}f^{(2)}(y,x)$. Here, for a.a. $(x,y)\in X^2$, $C_{x,y}$ is a linear operator on $V^{\otimes 2}$ with norm $\le1$ that satisfies $C_{x,y}^*=C_{y,x}$ and the spectral quantum Yang-Baxter equation. The corresponding creation and annihilation operators describe a multicomponent quantum system. A special choice of the operator-valued function $C_{xy}$ in the case $d=2$ is associated with plektons. For a multicomponent system, we describe its $T$-deformed Fock space and the available commutation relations satisfied by the corresponding creation and annihilation operators. Finally, we consider several examples of multicomponent quantum systems. This is joint work with A. Daletskii, A. Kalyuzhny and D. Proskurin.

Sheffer homeomorphisms of spaces of entire functions in infinite dimensional analysis

For certain Sheffer sequences $(s_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ on $\mathbb C$, Grabiner (1988) proved that, for each $\alpha\in[0,1]$, the corresponding Sheffer operator $z^n\mapsto s_n(z)$ extends to a linear self-homeomorphism of $\mathcal E^{\alpha}_{\mathrm{min}}(\mathbb C)$, the Fr\'echet topological space of entire functions of exponential order $\alpha$ and minimal type. In particular, every function $f\in \mathcal E^{\alpha}_{\mathrm{min}}(\mathbb C)$ admits a unique decomposition $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n s_n(z)$, and the series converges in the topology of $\mathcal E^{\alpha}_{\mathrm{min}}(\mathbb C)$. Within the context of a complex nuclear space $\Phi$ and its dual space $\Phi'$, in this work we generalize Grabiner's result to the case of Sheffer operators corresponding to Sheffer sequences on $\Phi'$. In particular, for $\Phi=\Phi'=\mathbb C^n$ with $n\ge2$, we obtain the multivariate extension of Grabiner's theorem. Furthermore, for an Appell sequence on a general co-nuclear space $\Phi'$, we find a sufficient condition for the corresponding Sheffer operator to extend to a linear self-homeomorphism of $\mathcal E^{\alpha}_{\mathrm{min}}(\Phi')$ when $\alpha>1$. The latter result is new even in the one-dimensional case.

On quantum increasing sequences (again)

Quantum increasing sequences were introduced by S. Curran to characterize free amalgamated independence of an infinite sequence of random variables (over the tail algebra) by means of the so-called quantum spreadability. This is a de Finetti type theorem that in the classical case was first established by C. Ryll-Nardzewski, but the assumptions are formally weaker. The plan of the talk is to discuss the connection of this structure to quantum permutation groups and describe in full generality the quantum subgroups generated by them. This is done by establishing a certain inductive-type framework for generation in quantum groups, a combinatorial description of quantum permutation groups by means of Temperley-Lieb diagrams and recent resolution of Banica's conjecture: there is no intermediate quantum group satisfying $S_5\subset\mathbb{G}\subset S_5^+$.

In the second half, we will consider CQG algebras and we will show that any translation invariant Markov semigroup on a CQG algebra can be stochastically dilated using Hudson-Parthasarahty calculus.

Zbieżność miar empirycznych dla rozwiązań stochastycznych macierzowych równań różniczkowych

Będziemy rozważać procesy miar empirycznych związanych z wartościami własnymi rozwiązań bardzo ogólnych macierzowych równań różniczkowych. Zbadamy ich zachowanie asymptotyczne w przypadku, gdy rozmiar macierzy rośnie do nieskończoności. Pokażemy ciasność rozważanych rodzin miar przy bardzo ogólnych założeniach na współczynniki odpowiadających im stochastycznych równań różniczkowych. Scharakteryzujemy rozkłady graniczne słabo zbieżnych podciągów jako rozwiązania równań całkowych. Wyniki te posłużą do wyznaczenia klas uniwersalności dla macierzowych procesów stochastycznych. Pokażemy także pewne nowe zjawiska tj. istnienie uogólnionych rozkładów Marchenko-Pastura o nośniku na całej prostej. Wskażemy związek otrzymanych wyników z wolną probabilistyką dowodząc zbieżności badanych obiektów do wolnych dyfuzji. Wyniki pochodzą ze wspólnej pracy z José Luisem Pérezem (CIMAT, Meksyk).

Entropy for general quantum systems

We revisit the notion of relative entropy for both classical and quantum systems, and provide some new descriptions of this notion, respectively based on the theories of the Connes cocycle derivative, and noncommutative $L^p$-spaces. We then introduce the notion of entropy for a single state of a general quantum system, and show that this notion agrees with von Neumann entropy in the case of semifinite von Neumann algebras. In closing we investigate the relationship between this notion of entropy and relative entropy, and identify an Orlicz space which forms the home for all states with ``good'' entropy. This is a joint work with Adam Majewski.

Solutions to smoothing equations - existence of density.

We study the stochastic equation $$Y=_{law}\sum _{j=1}^N T_jY_j, \quad \quad \qquad (1) $$ where $=_{law}$ denotes equality in law, $(T_1,T_2,....)$ is a given sequence of complex variables i.e. random variables with values in $\mathbb{C}$ and $Y_1,Y_2,...$ are independent copies of the complex random variable $Y$ and independent of $(T_1,T_2,....)$. Let $N$ be the (possibly random) number of $T_j$ that are non zero. As long as $\mathbb{E}N>1$, the law of $\sum _{j= 1}^N T_jY_j$ behaves much better with respect to local regularity than the law of $Y$ which justifies the name ``smoothing''. For the real valued case and $T_j\geq 0$ the first result about absolute continuity of $Y$ was obtained by Liu. Recently, under suitable assumptions on $(T_1,T_2,....)$, a complete description of the set of solutions to (1) has been provided by Meiners and Mentemeier (2017). Using that we (Damek and Mentemeier) have proved absolute continuity of $Y $ in the complex case. Limit theorems for a broad class of random recursive structures and algorithms are derived by a ``so called'' contraction method. It was introduced by R\"osler in 1991 for the distributional analysis of complexity of Quicksort and later on has been extended to a variety of random recursive structures like recursive algorithms, data structures, Polya urn models and random tree models. Limit distributions derived by the contraction method are given implicitly as solutions to (1). Often there is no explicit formula for the distribution of $Y$ but still many properties of these limits may be derived from the equation. One of them is the absolute continuity, possibly differentiability which is important for the sake of possible applications.

Invariant Markov semigroups on the quantum homogeneous spaces

Logo NAWA

We obtained some one-to-one correspondences of invariant quantum Markov semigroups acting on expected coideal *-subalgebras and certain convolution semigroups of states on the underlying compact quantum group. This gives an approach to classifying invariant quantum Markov semigroups on these quantum homogeneous spaces. The classical sphere $S^{N-1}$, the free sphere $S^{N-1}_+$, and the half-liberated sphere $S^{N-1}_*$ are considered as examples. On these spheres, we classifying the generators of the invariant quantum Markov semigroups by calculating their eigenvalues and eigenvector spaces. The generators obtained in this way can naturally be viewed as Laplace operators on these spaces.

On counting multifurcating trees and metric ultraproducts of groups

In the first part I will present work in progress with A. Żywot on counting rooted phylogenetic multifurcating trees. We study recurrence $T_{n,m}=(n+m-2)T_{n-1,m-1} + m T_{n-1,m}$, $n>m>1$, due to J. Felsenstein, where $T_{n,m}$ is the number of all such trees trees with $n$ leaves and $m$ internal leaves. After certain transformation this recurrence gives apparently new family of polynomials of binomial type. Generating functions and cumulants of it is closely related to Maclaurin expansion of $\frac{x^2}{\exp(x)-x-1}$, and maybe also to some generalized Bernoulli numbers. In the second part I will speak about groups with conjugacy-invariant norms and metric ultraproducts, focusing on stronger (uniform) versions of simplicity and amenability of metric ultraproducts of groups, for example uniform metric amenability, which is strictly weaker that uniform amenability and strictly stronger than amenability. I will also present a Foelner condition for amenability of topological groups (due to Thom and Schneider) in this context. This part is a joint work with M. Ziegler.

Radial Schur multipliers

A Schur multiplier on a set $X$ is a function $\varphi:X\times X\to\mathbb{C}$ defining a map $M_\varphi$ on the algebra of bounded operators on $\ell_2(X)$ by $\langle M_\varphi(T)\delta_y,\delta_x\rangle=\varphi(x,y)\langle T\delta_y,\delta_x\rangle$, for all $T\in\mathcal{B}(\ell_2(X))$. In this talk, I will focus on the particular case when $X$ is (the set of vertices of) a graph and the function $\varphi$ depends only on the distance between each pair of vertices. Such functions are said to be radial. For homogeneous trees, radial Schur multipliers were characterised by Haagerup, Steenstrup and Szwarc by the fact that a certain Hankel matrix belongs to the trace class. I will present some extensions of this result to larger classes of graphs: products of trees, CAT(0) cube complexes and products of hyperbolic graphs. The study of such graphs is motivated by some results on weak amenability for groups acting on them.

Quantum symmetries of finite graphs

The symmetry of a graph is captured by its automorphism group. This talk will concern a generalization of this concept in the framework of Woronowicz's compact matrix quantum groups, the so-called quantum automorphism group. A natural question is: When does a graph have no quantum symmetry, i.e. when does the quantum automorphism group coincide with the classical automorphism group? We will see that the Petersen graph has no quantum symmetry. Furthermore, we show that if the automorphism group of a graph contains a certain pair of automorphisms, this graph has quantum symmetry.

Admissibility conjecture for quantum group representations

A long-standing open problem in the representation theory of quantum groups is to decide whether the following statement is true or false: Every finite dimensional, unitary representation of (locally) compact quantum group ''factors'' in a suitable sense, through a representation of some matrix quantum group. This conjecture came up first in a work of P. Sołtan, and later on it kept featuring in many subsequent works on representation theory of (locally) compact quantum groups. We will give a partial solution to this conjecture, through proving that for a large class of (locally) compact quantum groups, this is true. Based on a joint work with P. Salmi and M. Daws.

Silne metody dają twierdzenia o dylatacjach. Gdy $Q_1, \ldots ,Q_k$ muszą należeć do algebry von Neumanna $\mathcal{M}$, decydującą rolę odgrywa istnienie śladu skończonego $\tau$ na $\mathcal{M}$.

Quantum symmetry of the toric noncommutative manifolds

In his framework, Rieffel showed that compact Lie groups of rank at least 2 admit nontrivial $\theta$-deformations as compact quantum groups. In my recent work, I showed that an action of such a Lie group $G$ on a manifold $M$ with a toric action can be extended to an action in the deformed setting. Of course, an action cannot be extended to an action of the deformed algebras for arbitrary $\theta$-parameters. First, I will explain what these deformations mean and I will explain exactly when an action in the classical setting extends to the noncommutative setting. I will also explain how the noncommutative 7-sphere S^7_Θ can be viewed as a quantum homogeneous space.

V-monotone independence

We investigate the combinatorics of mixed moments of V-monotone random variables and prove the central limit theorem.

On the spectrum of the hierarchical Schrödinger operator: the case of fast decreasing potential

This is the spectral analysis of the Schrödinger operator $H=L-V$ , the perturbation of the Taibleson-Vladimirov multiplier $L=D^{\alpha}$ by a potential $V$. Assuming that $V$ belonges to a class of fast decreasing potentials we show that the discrete part of the spectrum of $H$ may contain negative energies, it also appears in the spectral gaps of $L$. We will split the spectrum of $H$ in two parts: high energy part containing eigenvalues which correspond to the eigenfunctions located on the support of the potential $V$, and low energy part which lies in the spectrum of certain bounded Schrödinger operator acting on the Dyson hierarchical lattice. The spectral asymptotics strictly depend on the transience versus recurrence properties of the underlying hierarchical random walk. In the transient case we will prove results in spirit of CLR theory, for the recurrent case we will provide Bargmann's type asymptotics.
