Some remarks on definable complex analysis
Alex Wilkie
(Oxford University)
Abstract
Peterzil and Starchenko began this by developing the basics of complex
analysis (Cauchy’s theorem, Taylor series, residues…) within an arbitrary
o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. I look at more advanced topics
from such a definable viewpoint (eg the Riemann Mapping Theorem) although to
make any progress I have to restrict myself to (o-minimal) expansions of the
real field itself. I am, of course, motivated by Zilber’s quasiminimality
conjecture.
Partial differential equations (PDEs), often regarded as the language of physics and engineering, encode how quantities such as velocity, temperature, pressure, or concentration evolve in space and time. PDEs provide the mathematical framework through which we model the real world. Yet, even when the governing equations are known, predicting their behaviour can be challenging. Konstantin Riedl investigates.

Introduction to holographic renormalization
Alice Luscher
Abstract
Holographic renormalization provides a framework that makes the AdS/CFT correspondence computationally precise. It systematically resolves the divergences and ambiguities that arise when relating bulk gravitational actions to boundary correlation functions. In this seminar, I will review how correlation functions of a conformal field theory can be extracted from gravitational dynamics in asymptotically AdS spacetimes using this method. I will explain how divergences of the on-shell bulk action near the AdS boundary reflect ultraviolet divergences in the dual field theory, and how these are removed by introducing covariant boundary counterterms. The resulting renormalized action generates well-defined one- and two-point functions, while bulk interactions are encoded in Witten diagrams that compute higher-point correlators.
