Regularized Quantum Motion in a Bounded Set: Hilbertian Aspects, talk by Jean-Pierre Gazeau
In this talk, we demonstrate that essential self-adjointness can be restored by symmetrically weighting the momentum operator with a positive bounded function that approximates the indicator function of the given interval. This weighted momentum operator arises naturally from a similarly weighted classical momentum through the Weyl-Heisenberg covariant integral quantization of functions or distributions.
International Educational Workshop on the Theory of Atoms: Foundations, Advances, and Future Directions
From December 16 to 19, 2024, we hosted an educational workshop on the Theory of Atoms. The goal of this workshop was to explain the foundations of the new theory of atoms, introduced recently by L. Katzarkov, M. Kontsevich, T. Pantev and T. Yu. The workshop attracted over 40 researchers from around the world, including Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Mexico, South Korea, Switzerland, and the USA, underscoring its global significance. The event marked the launch of a new 5-year program on the Theory of Atoms, supported by a grant from the Simons Foundation and funding from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria.
Celebrating Women in Mathematics
The Fifth International Conference "Women in Mathematics in South-Eastern Europe" was officially opened, bringing together prominent mathematicians from a variety of fields. The event serves as a platform for fostering collaboration and highlighting the achievements of women in mathematics. The opening ceremony was graced by the presence of the President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Evelina Slavcheva. In her opening remarks, Prof. Slavcheva emphasized the essential role of women in advancing science, particularly in the field of mathematics.
International Conference UP24 Illuminates Novel Insights in Energy Minimization and Polarization
The International Conference on Unexpected Phenomena in Energy Minimization and Polarization (UP24) concluded its highly anticipated sessions this week, drawing mathematicians from ten countries across the globe to share groundbreaking research and emerging trends in this important domain. Hosted at the prestigious Hyatt Regency Sofia Hotel, the conference spanned five days, from December 9th to 13th.
New Program of the ICMS – Quantum Groups and Cluster Algebras
The International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia (ICMS-Sofia) is happy to announce that based on a strong selection process done by the Recruitment committee, the Advisory Board of ICMS-Sofia approved Prof. Milen Yakimov as a Chair of a new program Quantum Groups and Cluster Algebras
Tropical compactifications of moduli spaces – part 2, a talk by Lionel Lang
The Geometry Seminar of the ICMS presents a talk by Lionel Lang (University of Gävle). On 04.12.2024, 16:00, Sofia time he will describe various tropical compactifications of the moduli spaces of curves. He will discuss some motivations and applications coming from tropical geometry (joint with M. Melo, J. Rau and F. Viviani).
