Abstracts
Arithmetic of real-analytic modular forms
Modular form is a classical mathematical object dating back to the 19th century. Because of its connections to and appearances in many different areas of math and physics, it remains a popular subject today. Since the work of Hans Maass in 1949, real-analytic modular form has found important applications in arithmetic geometry and number theory. In this talk, I will discuss the amazing works in this area over the past 20 years, and give a glimpse of its fascinating future directions.

Theoretical methods for data-driven complex systems: from mathematical machine learning to simplicial complexes
In this talk I will discuss some aspects at the intersection of mathematics, machine learning, and networks to introduce interdisciplinary methods with wide application.
First, I will discuss some recent advances in mathematical machine learning for prediction on graphs. Machine learning is often a black box. Here I will present some exact theoretical results on the dynamics of weights while training graph neural networks using graphons - a graph limit or a graph with infinitely many nodes. I will use these ideas to present a new method for predictive and personalized medicine applications with remarkable success in prediction of Parkinson's subtype five years in advance.
Then, I will discuss some work on higher-order models of graphs: simplicial complexes - that can capture simultaneous many-body interactions. I will present some recent results on spectral theory of simplicial complexes, as well as introduce a mathematical framework for studying the topology and dynamics of multilayer simplicial complexes using Hodge theory, and discuss applications of such interdisciplinary methods to studying bias in society, opinion dynamics, and hate speech in social media.
