Multivariate P- and Q-polynomial association schemes, talk by Eiichi Bannai
The talk aims to review the progress in the study of higher rank P-and Q-polynomial association schemes, starting with the foundational concepts and recent advancements as outlined in the referenced papers. It will provide explicit examples of multivariate P-and Q-polynomial association schemes and explore the implications of these developments. The discussion will draw from multiple sources, including recent significant contributions by Bernard et al. and Crampé et al., and will conclude with speculations on future directions for research in this area.
This talk is based on the two joint papers with Hirotake Kurihara (Yamaguchi University), Da Zhao (East China University of Science and Technology) and Yan Zhu (Shanghai University for Science and Technology).

Ellipsoid superpotentials: obstructing symplectic embeddings by singular algebraic curves, a talk by Grigory Mikhalkin
How singular can be a local branch of a plane algebraic curve of a given degree d? A remarkable series of real algebraic curves was constructed by Stepan Orevkov. It is based on even-indexed numbers in the Fibonacci series: a degree 5 curve with a 13/2 cusp, a degree 13 curve with a 34/5-cusp, and so on. We discuss this and other series of algebraic curves in the context of the problem of symplectic packing of an ellipsoid into a ball...
