Abstract Abstract: We introduce the Mean Field Game (MFG) paradigm using a classical model for bird flocking. We then review the probabilistic approach based on Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDEs) which we illustrate with a model for crowd motion. Back to the Partial Differential Equation (PDE) approach, we derive Lions' Master Equation from a version of the chain rule (Ito's formula) for functions over flows of probability measures. Finally, we use a MFG model of jet lag quantifying the synchronization of circadian rhythms to illustrate numerically bifurcations / phase transitions in the qualitative properties of the equilibria and raise more challenging problems concerning the stability properties of the MFG equilibria.

Zurich Colloquium in Mathematics

Titel From Kleinian singularities to Khovanov homology

Ort KO2 F 150
Abstract In this talk we will try to make a little tour from the classical theory of singularities in the sense of Felix Klein to modern developments in representation theory. The main idea behind it is the concept of categorification. This idea will not be explained in detail, but illustrated by an example. The socalled Kleinian singularities arise from finite subgroups of SL(2,C) and have beautiful explicit descriptions. We will present a generalization of them (certain special examples of Springer fibres) and indicate their role in symplectic geometry and Fukaya categories. As an application we will present a construction of Khovanov homology, which is a knot invariant categorifying the Jones polynomial.
