### The functional Breuer-Major theorem

Ivan Nourdin
(University of Luxembourg)
Abstract

Let ?={??}?∈ℤ be zero-mean stationary Gaussian sequence of random variables with covariance function ρ satisfying ρ(0)=1. Let φ:R→R be a function such that ?[?(?_0)2]<∞ and assume that φ has Hermite rank d≥1. The celebrated Breuer–Major theorem asserts that, if ∑|?(?)|^?<∞ then
the finite dimensional distributions of the normalized sum of ?(??) converge to those of ?? where W is
a standard Brownian motion and σ is some (explicit) constant. Surprisingly, and despite the fact this theorem has become over the years a prominent tool in a bunch of different areas, a necessary and sufficient condition implying the weak convergence in the
space ?([0,1]) of càdlàg functions endowed with the Skorohod topology is still missing. Our main goal in this paper is to fill this gap. More precisely, by using suitable boundedness properties satisfied by the generator of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup,
we show that tightness holds under the sufficient (and almost necessary) natural condition that E[|φ(X0)|p]<∞ for some p>2.

### Fourier-Mukai transforms for deformation quantization modules (joint work with David Gepner)

Francois Petit
(University of Luxembourg)
Abstract

Deformation quantization modules or DQ-modules where introduced by M. Kontsevich to study the deformation quantization of complex Poisson varieties. It has been advocated that categories of DQ-modules should provide invariants of complex symplectic varieties and in particular a sort of complex analog of the Fukaya category. Hence, it is natural to aim at describing the functors between such categories and relate them with categories appearing naturally in algebraic geometry. Relying, on methods of homotopical algebra, we obtain an analog of Orlov representation theorem for functors between categories of DQ-modules and relate these categories to deformations of the category of quasi-coherent sheaves.

### THE STRUCTURE OF J_0(N)[m] AT AN EISENSTEIN PRIME m

Hwajong Yoo
(University of Luxembourg)
Abstract

In this talk, we will discuss the dimension of $J_0(N)[m]$ at an Eisenstein prime m for
square-free level N. We will also study the structure of $J_0(N)[m]$ as a Galois module.
This work generalizes Mazur’s work on Eisenstein ideals of prime level to the case of
arbitrary square-free level up to small exceptional cases.

### Brownian measures on Jordan curves

Anton Thalmaier
(University of Luxembourg)
Abstract

We describe a construction of the Brownian measure on Jordan curves with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric. The step from Brownian motion on the diffeomorphism group of the circle to Brownian motion on Jordan curves in the complex plane requires probabilistic arguments well beyond the classical theory of conformal welding, due to the lacking quasi-symmetry of canonical Brownian motion on Diff(S1). A new key step in our construction is the systematic use of a Kählerian diffusion on the space of Jordan curves for which the welding functional gives rise to conformal martingales.
