Viviane Baladi (Copenhagen University) Natural boundaries for dynamically defined power series
Ruelle transfer operators are linear operators associated to dynamical systems. For systems with enough smoothness and hyperbolicity, they have "nice spectrum" (i.e. a spectral gap) on a "suitable" Banach space. The susceptibility function describes how the "physical" invariant measure of a dynamical system behaves under perturbations of the dynamics. For certain simple systems with bifurcations, the susceptibility function corresponds to the resolvent of a transfer operator acting on a vector which is just a snippet too big to fit in the "suitable" Banach space. In a recent work with S Marmi and D Sauzin, we found that, although the transfer operator forced to deal with this singular snippet suffers a meltdown, this meltdown leads to a natural boundary for the susceptibility function via a rather graceful mechanism. For this, we apply a very elegant recent work of J Breuer and B Simon.

Magnus Aspenberg (Lund, LTH): On Misiurewicz maps for rational functions on the Riemann sphere
Misiurewicz maps in complex dynamics are non-hyperbolic maps without parabolic periodic points and such that the critial set on the Julia set is non-recurrent. I will sketch the techniques of proving measure-theoretic theorems about these maps. For instance, we prove that they have measure zero but full Hausdorff dimension. Also they can be perturbed into hyperbolic maps. The next natural step would be to extend these results to the so-called semi-hyperbolic maps studied by Carleson, Jones and Yoccoz. Semi-hyperbolicity is weaker than the Misiurewicz condition above; each critical point on the Julia set is non-recurrent instead of the whole critical set.

Wen Deng (Lund, LU): Pseudospectrum for Oseen vortices operators
Oseen vortices are self-similar solutions to the vorticity equation in R^2, and it was proved by T.Gallay and C.E.Wayne in 2005 that these solutions are stable for any value of the circulation Reynolds number. The linearization of the system around an Oseen vortex naturally gives rise to a non-self-adjoint operator. In this talk, we shall discuss spectral and pseudospectral properties of the linearized operator in the fast rotation limit. In particular, we give some resolvent estimate for the operator along the imaginary axis, which are also optimal.

Kurt Johansson (KTH Stockholm): Scaling limits for random matrices and discrete models
I will give an overview of scaling limits for the eigenvalues of random matrices, like the local bulk and edge statistics described by the sine and Airy kernels respectively. These and related limits also occur in many discrete probability models and a central problem in the area is that of the universality of these scaling limits.

Information for external participants
External participants will be welcome in the lounge in the 4-th floor of the Mathematics building (Universitetsparken 5) to have their (self-bought) lunch between 12:30 and 13:30. Sandwiches can be bought e.g. in the ground floor of the Mathematics building, you can also get a hot meal there and bring the plate upstairs (they may have run out of sandwiches if you arrive a bit late, bringing your own sandwich is an option). Auditorium 10 is accessible from the first-floor vandrehallen in the building (take the stairs on the right from ground floor of vandrehallen, after having completely passed the cafeteria).
The best way to come to Mathematics is to go to Nørreport (subway or train station) then take a bus (184, 185 or 150S) at Nørreport, and get off at stop Universitetsparken. (Bus 43 does not run on Nov 30. Bus 42 does not stop at Universitetstparken on Nov 30.) Finding the building Universitetsparken 5 (containing Mathematics, but also Chemistry) the first time is then best accomplished by having studied the Googlemap beforehand (one convenient access is from Nørreallé).
