Abstract:
Let X be a very general hypersurface of dimension 3 and degree d at least 6. Griffiths and Harris conjectured in 1985 that the degree of every curve on X is divisible by d. Substantial progress on this conjecture was made by Kollár in 1991 via degeneration arguments. However, the conjecture of Griffiths and Harris remained open in any degree d. In this talk, I will explain how to prove this conjecture (and its higher-dimensional analogues) for infinitely many degrees d.

Abstract:
A 2-graded group is a pair: a group G and its index two subgroup H (even elements). Its representation is a complex representation of H with an action of the other coset G\H (odd elements) in another way that needs to be chosen. Different choices lead to 4 different theories that I will review in the first half. A 2-graded 2-group is a 2-group GG such that the fundamental group π1(GG) is 2-graded. Now different choices of how GG could act on a 2-vector space lead to 8 different theories, that I will review in the second half.
The talk is based on my recent works with James Taylor (Oxford) and Matthew B. Young (Utah State).

Abstract: we prove the Kuznetsov components of a series of hypersurface in projective space reconstruct the hypersurfaces. Our method allow us to work for hypersurfaces in weighted projective space, and obtain the reconstruction theorem of veronese double cone, which is a long-time open case. I will show how to construct the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure from certain Kuznetsov components. Using classical generic Torelli theorem, this implies the Kuznetsov components reconstruct the algebraic variety generically. Joint with J. Rennemo and S.Z. Zhang.

Do you identify with a specific gender? Why though? On November 29, Solveïg (none or hen/hens pronouns) will give us an insight into non-binary perspectives on gender and sex in about 45 minutes. No prior knowledge is required, Solveïg will speak in German and summarize key points in English. Afterwards there will be the opportunity to discuss the topic in smaller groups and spend time with other interested people over tea and cookies. We start at 15 c.t. with the talk in the Lipschitzsaal. If you can‘t make it to the talk, don‘t worry about it and join us at 4 pm for discussion, tea and cookies.
See you then!

Abstract: We present a general shape optimization framework based on the method of mappings in the Lipschitz topology. We propose and numerically analyse steepest descent and Newton-like minimisation algorithms for the numerical solution of the respective shape optimization problems. Our work is built upon previous work of the authors in (Deckelnick, Herbert, and Hinze, ESAIM: COCV 28 (2022)), where a Lipschitz framework for star-shaped domains is proposed. To illustrate our approach we present a selection of PDE constrained shape optimization problems and compare our findings to results from so far classical Hilbert space methods and recent p-approximations. This is joint work with Klaus Deckelnick from Magdeburg and Philip Herbert from Sussex.

Abstract: A moldable job is a job that can be executed on an arbitrary number of processors, and its processing time depends on the number of processors allotted to it. A moldable job is monotone if its work doesn't decrease for an increasing number of allotted processors. This talk addresses the problem of scheduling monotone moldable jobs to minimize the makespan. For certain compact input encodings, a polynomial algorithm has a running time polynomial in n and log m, where n is the number of jobs and m is the number of machines. We explore how monotony can counteract the complexity arising from compact encodings and present tight bounds on the approximability of the problem with compact encoding: it is NP-hard to solve optimally, but admits a PTAS. The main focus is on efficient approximation algorithms, including a (3/2+ϵ)-approximate algorithm with a running time polynomial in log m and 1/ϵ, and linear in the number n of jobs. This is joint work with Kilian Grage, Felix Land, and Felix Ohnesorge.
