Resum: The half-line Dirac operators with $L^2$-potentials can be characterized by their spectral data. It is known that the spectral correspondence is a homeomorphism: close potentials give rise to close spectral data and vice versa. We prove the first explicit two-sided uniform estimate related to this continuity in the general $L^2$-case. The proof is based on an exact solution of the inverse spectral problem for Dirac operators with $\delta$-interactions on a half-lattice in terms of the Schur's algorithm for analytic functions. Joint work with Pavel Gubkin (St. Petersburg).

Resum: L'alçada d'un punt algebraic mesura la seva complexitat aritmètica és a dir, la complexitat de les seves coordenades. Les altures són una eina fonamental en la teoria dels nombres, i tenen un paper clau en resultats cèlebres com el teorema de Faltings, que va establir la conjectura de Mordell de 1922 que les corbes algebraiques de gènere almenys dos només tenen un nombre finit de punts racionals. Entre les seves moltes propietats, destaca l'equidistribució de punts petits. Aquest fenomen no és només bonic per si mateix, sinó que també té aplicacions a problemes sobre interseccions improbables com la conjectura de Bogomolov. En aquesta xerrada explicaré què significa l'equidistribució de punts petits (inclòs l'exemple clàssic d'arrels de la unitat sobre la circumferència unitat), esbossaré per què es compleix en diversos contextos i revisaré alguns resultats recents (i no tan recents).

Well-posedness of some dissipative semilinear SPDEs

Resum: I shall report on some recent results on existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to a class of semilinear stochastic evolution equations with additive noise. The linear part of the drift term is the generator of a compact semigroup of contractions, while the nonlinear part is only assumed to be the superposition operator associated to a decreasing function. Generalizations to the case where the semigroup of contractions is not compact will also be discussed.

Resum: In the first part of the talk we will recall a few classical results about length functions in Grothendieck categories, proved by Peter Vámos in the sixties. More concretely, we will show that there is a bijective correspondence between irreducible discrete length functions and the points of the so-called atom spectrum, recently introduced by Kanda, and we will use this to classify all length functions in categories with Gabriel dimension.
In the second part of the talk, we will apply these results to the functor category of a ring, reobtaining as a corollary several results due to Crawley-Boevey, Schofield, and Herzog.

Resum: The Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra A with stable rank one enjoys a key structural property due to Coward, Elliott and Ivanescu: the order relation in Cu(A) among countably generated Hilbert A-modules is simply the order of isometric embeddings: $[X] \leq [Y]$ if and only if $X$ is isomorphic to a submodule of $Y$, and $[X] = [Y]$ iff $X$ is isomorphic to $Y$.

In the talk I will present the algebraic analogue for the Cuntz semigroup of rings with stable rank one: for countably generated projective modules $P$ and $Q$, $[P] \leq [Q]$ if and only if $P$ is isomorphic to a pure submodule of $Q$, and $[P] = [Q]$ iff $P$ is isomorphic to $Q$. The proof follows the same broad strategy as the C*-algebraic one, but now set in a purely algebraic framework. A key tool in the proof is the study of K(P), a two-sided ideal of the ring of endomorphisms of a module P, which plays the role of “compact operators". We show that if R has stable rank one, then so does K(P). In the talk we will sketch the proof of the main result and see some applications.
