Javier Fresán - Infinitely Many Non-hypergeometric Local Systems @IhesFr

The Bombieri-Dwork conjecture predicts that an irreducible differential operator with a G-function solution comes from geometry, that is, encodes how periods vary in a pencil of algebraic varieties. This conjecture is completely open for operators of order at least 2. At the beginning of the 90s, Dwork proposed a strategy to establish the conjecture for G-operators of order 2, which would consist in proving that they are all pullbacks by a correspondence of some Gauss's hypergeometric differential operator. Sporadic counterexamples to this expectation were found by Kraamer (1996) and Bouw-Möller (2010). I will present a joint work with Josh Lam and Yichen Qin where we prove that most G-operators of order 2 coming from geometry are not pullbacks of hypergeometric differential operators. A key ingredient to construct infinitely many counterexamples will be a theme dear to Emmanuel: the André-Pink-Zannier conjecture for Shimura varieties, in the cases recently established by Richard and Yafaev.

$Pierre Schapira - Sheaves for spacetimes A causal manifold $(M,lambda)$ is a real manifold $M$ endowed with a closed convex proper cone $lambda$ in its cotangent bundle $T^*M$. On such a manifold, one defines the $lambda$-topology and the past or the future of any subset. A time function is a smooth surjective causal map $q: Mtomathbb R$ proper on the past or future of any compact subset of $M$. Using a time function, we show that if the micro-support of a sheaf $F$ does not intersect $lambdacup-lambda$ outside of the zero-section, then for any Cauchy hypersurface $N_t=q^{-1}(t)$, the restriction morphism $mathrm{R}Gamma(M;F)tomathrm{R}Gamma(N_t;Fvert_{N_t})$ is an isomorphism. As an application, we get that the Cauchy problem is globally well-posed for hyperfunction solutions of hyperbolic systems.

$Hong Wang - Furstenberg Sets Estimates with Application to Restriction Theory A Kakeya set is a compact subset of $mathbb{R}^n$ containing a unit line segment in every direction. More generally, for $0 lt s leq 1$, an $s$-Furstenberg set is a subset $E subset mathbb{R}^n$ such that for every direction there is a unit line segment whose intersection with $E$ has Hausdorff dimension at least $s$. Furstenberg set problems ask for lower bounds on ${rm dim}_H(E)$ in terms of $s$ and $n$. In this talk I will discuss how such dimension estimates arise naturally in Fourier restriction theory via wave packet decompositions. From this perspective it is natural to consider s-dimensional subsets of line segments, rather than whole segments, because waves may concentrate on sparser subsets of tubes. This is based on joint work with Shukun Wu and joint work in progress with Dima Zakharov.
