How to freeze elliptic spin Ruijsenaars models
Abstract. The connection between integrable quantum many body systems and spin chains is formed by `freezing', an idea that goes back to Polychronakos. I will discuss a reformulation of freezing in the language of deformation quantisation, that builds on recent work by Mikhailov and Vanhaecke. I will show that there exists an SL(2,Z) famiy of equilibria on which one can freeze, yielding an infinite family of integrable spin chains. Based on work with Jules Lamers.

BerLean
Abstract. tLean is an interactive theorem prover and programming language. It allows its users to write definitions and proofs from mathematics or computer science in a formal language, so that they may be verified. We'll introduce formalization in Lean with a simple study of linked lists. Then, we'll proceed with a discussion of what it means to verify algorithms in Lean, and how it differs from algorithms that produce proofs. Finally, we'll implement a variant of subgradient descent in Lean and prove a convergence theorem for it.

Lorentzian polynomials and the incidence geometry of tropical linear spaces
Abstract. Tropical linear spaces are complicated. Even the most elementary questions about their incidence geometry can be hard. I will give some answers to three types of such questions that are especially important to other recent advancements. The central object is the moduli space of all codimension-1 tropical linear subspaces of a given tropical linear space. The structure of this moduli space is closely related to the structure of spaces of Lorentzian polynomials. I will show how convexity results about tropical linear spaces can be derived and can be used to derive convexity results about Lorentzian polynomials.

Porous medium is the message: variational analysis of toy transformers
Abstract. We study an aggregation PDE with competing attractive and repulsive forces on a high-dimensional sphere. In particular, we consider the limit of localized repulsion with a constant attraction term. We prove convergence of solutions of such a system to solutions of the aggregation-diffusion equation with the porous-medium-type diffusion. The proof combines variational techniques with the elements of harmonic analysis on a sphere. Specifically, we characterize the square root of the convolution operator in terms of the spherical harmonics, which allows us to overcome difficulties arising due to the convolution on a sphere being non-commutative. The system under study naturally arises as an extension of the toy model of transformers introduced by Geshkovski et al. (2024) and provides some insights on the driving mechanisms behind the modern language models. This is a joint work with Mark Peletier.
