Résumé : In our talk, we will present an extension of arithmetic intersection theory of adelic divisors on quasi-projective varieties introduced by Yuan–Zhang to the case where these divisors are not necessarily arithmetically nef. The key tool to realize this extension is the concept of relative finite energy established by T. Darvas et al.. In particular, our theory will allow to compute heights on mixed Shimura varieties, e. g., the arithmetic self-intersection number of the line bundle of Siegel–Jacobi forms on the universal abelian variety. This is joint work with José Burgos Gil.

Résumé : The aim of this talk is to explore several historical optimization problems together, namely Dido’s problem and the brachistochrone problem, by adopting an optimal control perspective. We start by introducing optimal control theory. This mathematical discipline consists in determining the best way to influence a dynamical system through a control or input so as to steer it toward a target state [control], while minimizing or maximizing a given cost functional [optimal]. Optimal control theory is used in a wide range of fields, including aerospace engineering (rocket trajectory optimization), finance (optimal portfolio management), and biology (population management). We focus on the case where a dynamical system is described by ordinary differential equations and we present Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle. An outline of the proof, aimed at providing insight into this principle, will also be given. Finally, we apply this framework to the historical problems mentioned above.

Résumé : Résumé : I will give a leisurely, elementary introduction to these two subjects, and then describe some recent progress on the so-called enumerative P=W conjecture, which provides a surprising link between the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles and integrable systems.
