It is well known that a rough path is uniquely determined by its signature (the collection of global iterated path integrals) up to tree-like pieces. However, the proof the uniqueness theorem is non-constructive and does not give us information about how quantitative properties of the path can be explicitly recovered from its signature. In this talk, we examine the quantitative relationship between the local p-variation of a rough path and the tail asymptotics of its signature for the simplest type of rough paths ("line segments"). What lies at the core of the work a novel technique based on the representation theory of complex semisimple Lie algebras.

We discuss some results on integration of ``rough differential forms'', which are generalizations of classical (smooth) differential forms to similar objects involving Hölder continuous functions that may be nowhere differentiable. Motivations arise mainly from geometric problems related to irregular surfaces, and the techniques are naturally related to those of Rough Paths theory. We show in particular that such a geometric integration can be constructed substituting appropriately differentials with more general asymptotic expansions (of Stratonovich or Ito type) and by summing over a refining sequence of partitions, leading to a two-dimensional extension of the classical Young integral, that coincides with the integral introduced recently by R. Züst. We further show that Stratonovich sums gives an advantage allowing to weaken the requirements on Hölder exponents, and discuss some work in progress in the stochastic case. Based on joint works with E. Stepanov, G. Alberti and I. Ballieul.

Gibbs measures of nonlinear Schrödinger equations are a fundamental object used to study low-regularity solutions with random initial data. In the dispersive PDE community, this point of view was pioneered by Bourgain in the 1990s. We study the problem of the derivation of Gibbs measures as high-temperature limits of thermal states in many-body quantum mechanics.

In our work, we apply a perturbative expansion in the interaction. This expansion is then analysed by means of Borel resummation techniques. In two and three dimensions, we need to apply a Wick-ordering renormalisation procedure. Moreover, in one dimension, our methods allow us to obtain a microscopic derivation of the time-dependent correlation functions for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This is based partly on joint work with Jürg Fröhlich, Antti Knowles, and Benjamin Schlein.

Using ideas from paracontrolled calculus, we prove local well-posedness of a renormalized version of the three-dimensional stochastic nonlinear wave equation with quadratic nonlinearity forced by an additive space-time white noise on a periodic domain. There are two new ingredients as compared to the parabolic setting. (i) In constructing stochastic objects, we have to carefully exploit dispersion at a multilinear level. (ii) We introduce novel random operators and leverage their regularity to overcome the lack of smoothing of usual paradifferential commutators

In this talk I will discuss some recent results that allow to approximate a real singularity given by polynomial equations of degree d (e.g. the zero set of a polynomial, or the number of its critical points of a given Morse index) with a singularity which is diffeomorphic to the original one, but it is given by polynomials of degree O(d^(1/2)log d).
The approximation procedure is constructive (in the sense that one can read the approximating polynomial from a linear projection of the given one) and quantitative (in the sense that the approximating procedure will hold for a subset of the space of polynomials with measure increasing very quickly to full measure as the degree goes toinfinity).

We will start by presenting two basic probabilistic effects for questions concerning the regularity of functions and nonlinear operations on functions. We will then overview well-posedenss results for the nonlinear wave equation, the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation and the nonlinear heat equation, in the presence of singular randomness.

We observe a noisy version of a large rank-one matrix. Depending on the strength of the noise, can we recover non-trivial information on the matrix? This problem, interesting on its own, will be motivated by its link with a "spin glass" model, which is a model of statistical mechanics where a large number of variables interact with one another, with random interactions that can be positive or negative. The resolution of the initial question will involve a Hamilton-Jacobi equation

I will discuss new results for the gradient field models with uniformly convex potential (also known as the Ginzburg-Landau field). A connection between the scaling limits of the field and elliptic homogenization was introduced by Naddaf and Spencer in 1997. We quantify the existing central limit theorems in light of recent advances in quantitative homogenization; and positively settle a conjecture of Funaki and Spohn about the surface tension. Joint work with Scott Armstrong. 

In this talk I will describe how to make sense of the function $(1+t)^x$ over the integers. I will explain how different rings of analytic functions can be defined over the integers, and how this leads to global analytic geometry and global Hodge theory. If time permits I will also describe an analytic version of lambda-rings and how this can be used to define a cohomology theory for schemes over Z. This is joint work with Federico Bambozzi and Adam Topaz.
