Post-edited  Which geodesic flows are left-handed? Dehornoy, Pierre (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Left-handed flows are 3-dimensional flows which have a particular topological property, namely that every pair of periodic orbits is negatively linked. This property (introduced by Ghys in 2007) implies the existence of as many Bikrhoff sections as possible, and therefore allows to reduce the flow to a suspension in many different ways. It then becomes natural to look for examples. A construction of Birkhoff (1917) suggests that geodesic flows are good candidates. In this conference we determine on which hyperbolic orbifolds is the geodesic flow left-handed: the answer is that yes if the surface is a sphere with three cone points, and no otherwise.

Post-edited  A hitchhiker's guide to Khovanov homology - Part I Turner, Paul (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

There are already too many introductory articles on Khovanov homology and certainly another is not needed. On the other hand by now - 15 years after the invention of subject - it is quite easy to get lost after having taken those first few steps. What could be useful is a rough guide to some of the developments over that time and the summer school Quantum Topology at the CIRM in Luminy has provided the ideal opportunity for thinking about what such a guide should look like.
It is quite a risky undertaking because it is all too easy to offend by omission, misrepresentation or other. I have not attempted a complete literature survey and inevitably these notes reflects my personal view, jaundiced as it may often be. My apologies for any offence caused.
I would like to express my warm thanks to Lukas Lewark, Alex Shumakovitch, Liam Watson and Ben Webster.

Post-edited  A non exchangeable coalescent arising in phylogenetics Lambert, Amaury (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

A popular line of research in evolutionary biology is to use time-calibrated phylogenies in order to infer the underlying diversification process. This involves the use of stochastic models of ultrametric trees, i.e., trees whose tips lie at the same distance from the root. We recast some well-known models of ultrametric trees (infinite regular trees, exchangeable coalescents, coalescent point processes) in the framework of so-called comb metric spaces and give some applications of coalescent point processes to the phylogeny of bird species.

However, these models of diversification assume that species are exchangeable particles, and this always leads to the same (Yule) tree shape in distribution. Here, we propose a non-exchangeable, individual-based, point mutation model of diversification, where interspecific pairwise competition is only felt from the part of individuals belonging to younger species. As the initial (meta)population size grows to infinity, the properly rescaled dynamics of species lineages converge to a one-parameter family of coalescent trees interpolating between the caterpillar tree and the Kingman coalescent.

Keywords: ultrametric tree, inference, phylogenetic tree, phylogeny, birth-death process, population dynamics, evolution

Post-edited  Endomorphisms, train track maps, and fully irreducible monodromies Kapovich, Ilya (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

An endomorphism of a finitely generated free group naturally descends to an injective endomorphism on the stable quotient. We establish a geometric incarnation of this fact : an expanding irreducible train track map inducing an endomorphism of the fundamental group determines an expanding irreducible train track representative of the injective endomorphism of the stable quotient. As an application, we prove that the property of having fully irreducible monodromy for a splitting of a hyperbolic free-by-cyclic group G depends only on the component of the BNS invariant $\sum \left ( G \right )$ containing the associated homomorphism to the integers. In particular, it follows that if G is the mapping torus of an atoroidal fully irreducible automorphism of a free group and if the union of $\sum \left ( G \right )$ and $\sum \left ( G \right )$ is connected then for every splitting of $G$ as a (f.g. free)-by-(infinite cyclic) group the monodromy is fully irreducible.
This talk is based on joint work with Spencer Dowdall and Christopher Leininger.

Post-edited  The $\mathbb{L}^ \bullet$-Homology fundamental class for singular spaces and the stratified Novikov conjecture Banagl, Markus (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

An oriented manifold possesses an L-homology fundamental class which is an integral refinement of its Hirzebruch L-class and assembles to the symmetric signature. In joint work with Gerd Laures and James McClure, we give a construction of such an L-homology fundamental class for those oriented singular spaces, which are integral intersection homology Poincaré spaces. Our approach constructs a morphism of ad theories from intersection Poincaré bordism to L-theory. We shall indicate an application to the stratified Novikov conjecture. The latter has been treated analytically by Albin, Leichtnam, Mazzeo and Piazza.

Multi angle  Pseudo-Anosov braids are generic Wiest, Bert (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

We prove that generic elements of braid groups are pseudo-Anosov, in the following sense: in the Cayley graph of the braid group with $n\geq 3$ strands, with respect to Garside's generating set, we prove that the proportion of pseudo-Anosov braids in the ball of radius $l$ tends to $1$ exponentially quickly as $l$ tends to infinity. Moreover, with a similar notion of genericity, we prove that for generic pairs of elements of the braid group, the conjugacy search problem can be solved in quadratic time. The idea behind both results is that generic braids can be conjugated ''easily'' into a rigid braid.

Multi angle  Functional convergence for dependent heavy-tailed models Jakubowski, Adam (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

The Skorokhod space is natural for modeling trajectories of most time series with heavy tails. We give a systematic account of topologies on the Skorokhod space. The applicability of each topology is illustrated by examples of suitable dependent stationary sequences, for which the corresponding functional limit theorem holds.

Multi angle  Invariants of disordered topological insulators Schulz-Baldes, Hermann (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

According to a widely accepted terminology, a topological insulator is a (independent) Fermion system which has surface modes that are not exposed to Anderson localization. This stability results from topological constraints given by non-trivial invariants like non-commutative Chern numbers and higher winding numbers, but sometimes also more subtle Z2 invariants associated to adequate Fredholm operators with symmetries. Prime examples are quantum Hall systems, but the talk also considers chiral and BdG systems as well as time-reversal symmetric systems with Z2 invariants.

Multi angle  Discrete systolic geometry and decompositions of triangulated surfaces De Mesmay, Arnaud (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

How much cutting is needed to simplify the topology of a surface? We provide bounds for several instances of this question, for the minimum length of topologically non-trivial closed curves, pants decompositions, and cut graphs with a given combinatorial map in triangulated combinatorial surfaces (or their dual cross-metric counterpart).
Our work builds upon Riemannian systolic inequalities, which bound the minimum length of non-trivial closed curves in terms of the genus and the area of the surface. We first describe a systematic way to translate Riemannian systolic inequalities to a discrete setting, and vice-versa. This implies a conjecture by Przytycka and Przytycki from 1993, a number of new systolic inequalities in the discrete setting, and the fact that a theorem of Hutchinson on the edge-width of triangulated surfaces and Gromov's systolic inequality for surfaces are essentially equivalent. We also discuss how these proofs generalize to higher dimensions.
Then we focus on topological decompositions of surfaces. Relying on ideas of Buser, we prove the existence of pants decompositions of length $O(g^{3/2}n^{1/2})$ for any triangulated combinatorial surface of genus g with n triangles, and describe an $O(gn)$-time algorithm to compute such a decomposition.
Finally, we consider the problem of embedding a cut graph (or more generally a cellular graph) with a given combinatorial map on a given surface. Using random triangulations, we prove (essentially) that, for any choice of a combinatorial map, there are some surfaces on which any cellular embedding with that combinatorial map has length superlinear in the number of triangles of the triangulated combinatorial surface. There is also a similar result for graphs embedded on polyhedral triangulations.

Multi angle  Deformation quantization of Leibniz algebras Wagemann, Friedrich (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Let $\mathfrak{h}$ be a finite dimensional real Leibniz algebra. Exactly as the linear dual space of a Lie algebra is a Poisson manifold with respect to the Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau (KKS) bracket, $\mathfrak{h}^*$ can be viewed as a generalized Poisson manifold. The corresponding bracket is roughly speaking the evaluation of the KKS bracket at $0$ in one variable. This (perhaps strange looking) bracket comes up naturally when quantizing $\mathfrak{h}^*$ in an analoguous way as one quantizes the dual of a Lie algebra. Namely, the product $X \vartriangleleft Y = exp(ad_X)(Y)$ can be lifted to cotangent level and gives than a symplectic micromorphism which can be quantized by Fourier integral operators. This is joint work with Benoit Dherin (2013). More recently, we developed with Charles Alexandre, Martin Bordemann and Salim Rivire a purely algebraic framework which gives the same star-product.

Multi angle  Existence of Liouville structures on cobordisms Murphy, Emmy (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Given a smooth cobordism with an almost complex structure, one can ask whether it is realized as a Liouville cobordism, that is, an exact symplectic manifold whose primitive induces a contact structure on the boundary. We show that this is always the case, as long as the positive and negative boundaries are both nonempty. The contact structure on the negative boundary will always be overtwisted in this construction, but for dimensions larger than 4 we show that the positive boundary can be chosen to have any given contact structure. In dimension 4 we show that this cannot always be the case, due to obstructions from gauge theory.

Multi angle  Nearby Lagrangians are simply homotopic Abouzaid, Mohammed (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

I will describe joint work with Thomas Kragh proving that closed exact Lagrangians in cotangent bundles are simply homotopy equivalent to the base. The main two ideas are (i) a Floer theoretic model for the Whitehead torsion of the projection from the Lagrangian to the base, and (ii) a large scale deformation of the Lagrangian which allows a computation of this torsion.
