CT: X = G/H, where H is a subgroup of G (not necessarily normal). Same should go through if H is connected (techniques of Borovoi et al.). CT: Question: Decide whether weak approximation holds for GL n/G, where G is a finite subgroup of GL n. This seems nontrivial. (de Jong thinks he can do this; Graber is unsure.) CT says de Jong claims: Let X/L be an arbitrary smooth projective, geometrically and rationally connected variety. Then weak approxmation holds. (de Jong: do this by reducing to characteristic p. Not in the dJ-H-S paper.) CT: there is an Enriques surface over C(t) that has a rational point but does not satisfy weak approximation.", "evidence": "The canonical record is Question 35 from the AIM workshop *Rational and integral points on higher dimensional varieties*.

This has been done for the discrete Laplacian on domains in a lattice; J. K. Freericks, E. H. Lieb, D. Ueltschi, Phase separation due to quantum mechanical correlations, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 106401 1-4 (2002). There is a result by Melas of Li-Yau type with corrections involving moments of iner-tia rather than surface area, see A. Melas, A lower bound for sums of eigenvalues of the Laplacian, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003), 631-636. February 2009: The result of Melas has been strengthened by inclusion of a correction term involving the surface area of the boundary; see H. Kovarik, S. Vugalter, T. Weidl, \n\nTwo-dimensional Berezin-Li-Yau inequalities with a correction term, Comm. Math. Phys. 287 (2009), 959-981. An earlier improvement for γ ≥ 3/2, involving a notion of effective boundary, is due to T. Weidl, Improved Berezin-Li-Yau inequalities with a remainder term,in: Spectral theory of differential operators, T. Suslina and D. Yafaev (eds.), Amer. Math. Soc. Transl. Ser. 2, 225 (2008). For γ < 3/2 further improvements seem possible and desirable. (3) (Timo Weidl) There are analogues of the P´ olya and Li-Yau inequalities under Neumann boundary conditions, with the inequality signs reversed. The P´ olya Conjecture remains open for Neumann boundary conditions for j ≥ 2, except it was recently proved for j =2 in two dimensions by A. Girouard et al., J. Diff. Geometry, to appear. The analogue of Li-Yau was proved by Pawel Kr¨ oger; see P. Kr¨ oger, Upper bounds for the Neumann eigenvalues on a bounded domain in Euclidean space, J. Funct. Anal. 106 (1992), no. 2, 353-357, and also A. Laptev Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalue problems on domains in Euclidean spaces, J. Funct. Anal. 151 (1997), 531-545. Can one strengthen the Kr¨ oger result by including a correction term? (4) (Timo Weidl) The questions raised above are meaningful in the presence of a magnetic field. For more information and some progress see Item (10) below.

This was proved in E. M. Harrell and L. Hermi, Differential inequali-ties for Riesz means and Weyl-type bounds for eigenvalues, J. Funct.

According to Weyl's asymptotic formula rσ(E) tends to zero as E tends to infinity and therefore rσ(E) ≥ 0, which is the Berezin-Li-Yau-inequality. Can one strengthen this \n\n> 2\n\nbound in the trace identity of Harrell-Stubbe to obtain correction terms involving the sur-face area of the boundary? For the Laplacian with periodic boundary conditions a similar monotonicity property holds (for details see E. M. Harrell and J. Stubbe, Trace identities for commutators, with applications to the distribution of eigenvalues, preprint 2009, avail-able as arXiv:0903.0563). In this case the search for the correction term is related to the famous Gauss circle problem (or lattice point problem). (6) (Evans Harrell, Joachim Stubbe) Prove monotonicity results like in Item (5) for higher order operators (e.g. clamped plate problem) and fractional powers of Laplacians (for some results on √−∆ see E. M. Harrell and S. Yıldırım Yolcu, Eigenvalue inequalities for Klein-Gordon Operators, accepted for publication in J. Funct. Analysis) leading to Berezin-Li-Yau inequalities for these operators.

Let π be an automorphic cuspi-dal representation of GL m for m Ê 1 and π′ be an automorphic cuspidal representation of GL n for n Ê 1. Do we know the convexity bound for \n\nL(π×π′, s)? It absolutely converges on ℜs > 1 and thus we know the con-vexity bound in the s-aspect. Do we know the convexity bound in any aspect for any m Ê 1 and any n Ê 1? No! For instance, when m = n = 2, it is known via L2-theory of automorphic forms. Is there a geometric method which could give the result for any m Ê 1 and any n Ê 1? \n\n• These subconvexity problems were mainly suggested by Michel. Let f\n\nbe a Hecke Maass cusp form of level 1 and Laplacian eigenvalue λf:=\n\n1/4 + i t 2 \n\n> f. We want to break the convexity bound for L( f, 1/2 + i t f ) in the spectral aspect namely to find δ > 0 (even microcospic) such that (1.1) L( f, 1/2 + i t f ) ¿ε t 1/4 −δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nfor any ε > 0. About this problem, two questions arose during the dis-cussion. \n\n- Is there a work on this from Luo? \n\n> Date: Version of December 8, 2006. Guillaume.Ricotta@math.u-bordeaux1.fr.\n> 12G. RICOTTA\n\n- Does somebody know an arithmetic application of such unkown convexity bound? Note that this is a case for which the analytic conductor drops since \n\nQ( f, 1/2 + i t f ) = (1 + ∣∣1/2 + i t f − i t f\n\n∣∣) ( 1 + ∣∣1/2 + i t f + i t f\n\n∣∣) ≈ t f.Thus, previous experience suggests that it should be difficult to prove. You can also think of the method of moments to be convinced: you will have to estimate an higher moment if you want to break convexity. An-other example in which the analytic conductor drops is given by (1.2) L( f × g, 1/2 + i t f ) ¿g,ε t 1/2 −δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nfor any ε > 0. Here, g is a fixed Hecke Maass cusp form. Note that if \n\ng is an holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight 4 and level q, such L-functions already appear in Phillips-Sarnak's deformation theory even if people are more interested in non-vanishing results in this context. Roughly speaking, this theory deals with the deformation of Γ0(q) in the direction given by g. The authors proved that a positive proportion (in a suitable sense) of L( f × g, 1/2 + i t f ) does not vanish which entails that a positive proportion (in the same suitable sense) of f 's is annihilated by such deformation. \n\n• Let f and g be two fixed Hecke Maass forms. We want to break the con-vexity bound for L( f × g, 1/2 + i t ) in the s-aspect namely to find δ > 0such that (1.3) L( f × g, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,g,ε t 1−δ+ε\n\nfor any ε > 0. Jutila suggested an extra-average over the spectral param-eter t f of f to produce some saving. For instance, he proved with Moto-hashi that \n\nL( f × g, 1/2 + i t ) ¿g,ε\n\n{t 1+ε /√ t f if t 3/2 \n\n> f\n\n¿ t ¿ε t 2−ε \n\n> f,\n\n(t + t f\n\n)2/3 +ε if t ¿ t 3/2 \n\n> f.How can we extend this range? \n\n• Let us talk about the symmetric-square L-function L(Sym 2 f, s) for any Hecke Maass cusp form of level q f, spectral parameter t f and nebenty-pus χf. This L-function is of degree 3. Thus, the subconvexity problem in the s-aspect is given by (1.4) L(Sym 2 f, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,ε t 3/4 −δ+ε\n\nfor any ε > 0 and for some δ > 0. About the three spectral parameters at infinity of L(Sym 2 f, s), one is of constant size and the two others are of size t f. Thus, the subconvexity problem in the spectral aspect is given by (1.5) L(Sym 2 f, 1/2 + i t ) ¿q f,t,ε t 1/2 −δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nfor any ε > 0 and for some δ > 0. The subconvexity problem in the level aspect is given by (1.6) L(Sym 2 f, 1/2 + i t ) ¿q f,t,ε qε ×\n\n{q1/2 −δ \n\n> f\n\nif χf trivial or non-quadratic, \n\nq1/4 −δ \n\n> f\n\notherwise PROBLEM SESSIONS: \"SUBCONVEXITY BOUNDS FOR L-FUNCTIONS\" 3\n\nfor some δ > 0 and for any ε > 0 since \n\nL( f × f, s) = L(χf, s)L(Sym 2 f, s). Michel said that if you know a subconvexity bound for L(Sym 2 f, s) in the \n\ns-aspect then you know (by Cauchy-Schwarz) a subconvexity bound for \n\nL( f × g, s) when f 6 = g and g is fixed in the s-aspect. He also said that the subconvexity problem for symmetric square L-functions could have some link with metaplectic tools on ˜GL 2 via an integral representation of this L-function in which an Eisenstein series on ˜GL 2 occurs. \n\n• Let us talk about triple L-functions. Let f, g, h some Hecke Maass forms, \n\nf being of level q f, spectral parameter t f, weight k f and the same nota-tions for the two others. We could be interested in the following subcon-vexity problems (1.7) L( f × g × h, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,g,t,qh k2−δ+ε\n\nwhen h is holomorphic. (1.8) L( f × g × h, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,g,h,ε t 2−δ+ε.(1.9) L( f × f × h, 1/2) ¿q f,h,ε t 1−δ+ε \n\n> f.This last case is again an example of situation in which the conductor drops. Reznikov said that it is easier and doable to prove (1.10) L( f × g × h, 1/2) ¿ε t 2−δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nwhen f, g and h have some comparable but not equal spectral parame-ters at infinity such that the conductor does not drop. 1.2. Universality of convexity breaking exponents. \n\n• One aims at explaining the apparently unrelated occurences of Weyl's subconvexity exponent given by 1/4(1 − 1/3) and Burgess' subconvexity exponent given by 1/4(1 − 1/4). Remember that Weyl's subconvexity ex-ponent appears \n\n- in the subconvexity problem for GL 2 L-functions L( f, s) in the s and spectral aspect, \n\n- in the subconvexity problem for twisted L-functions L( f × χ, s) in the level aspect ( f and χ are of same level), \n\n- in the subconvexity problem for Rankin-Selberg L-functions L( f ×\n\ng, s) in the t f aspect whereas Burgess' subconvexity exponent appears \n\n- in the subconvexity problem for Dirichlet L-functions L(χ, s) in the level aspect, \n\n- in the subconvexity problem for twisted L-functions L( f × χ, s) in the conductor aspect of the character. \n\n• A natural problem is to find particular L-functions for which we know how to prove better exponents than Weyl and Burgess' ones. Soundarara-jan suggested to look at L(χ, s) when χ is of conductor say 3 n and n goes to infinity by taking advantage of Vinogradov's method. We can talk about subconvexity in the depth aspect in such context. A similar ex-ample is L( f × χ, s) by taking advantage of Graham-Ringrose's method when the modulus of χ is a higly divisible square-free integer. 4 G. RICOTTA \n\n• It is also natural to wonder if there exists some applications which need a better subconvexity exponent than Weyl or Burgess' one. Michel sug-gested an application to André Oort conjecture discovered by Edixhoven. This conjecture asserts that a curve contained in X0(1) × X0(1) which does not project to X0(1) itself and contains infinitely many CM points is the modular curve itself (embedded in the product as a graph of Hecke correspondence). Assuming GRH for quadratic imaginary fields, Edix-hoven \"proved\" this conjecture. The main hole for an unconditional proof being that he needs to know that the number of primes less than log 2 (|d|) log 22 (|d|) which are split in the quadratic imaginary field of dis-criminant d tends to infinity with d. Fouvry, applying a result of Linnik and Vinogradov, noticed that the number of primes less than |d|1/4 +ε\n\nwhich are split in the quadratic imaginary field of discriminant d tends to infinity with d. Improving Burgess' bound for character sums will im-prove the previous range. Studying these small split primes is a challeng-ing problem because it may occur when one wants to build an efficient amplifier. For instance, Duke-Friedlander-Iwaniec faced this problem when they tried to prove subconvexity bound for class group L-functions without appealing to the spectral theory of automorphic forms. 2. T UESDAY PROBLEM SESSION \n\n2.1. General definition and interesting examples of periods. Lindenstrauss gave the following general definition of period. Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G. The general space is given by \n\nX:= G(Q) ∖G(AQ). To any automorphic form f on X (a smooth function on X which belongs to the space of an automorphic representation), we define some periods by \n\n∫ \n\n> H(Q)∖H(AQ)\n\nf (h)g (h)d h\n\nfor any automorphic form g on H (Q) ∖H (AQ). Then, people gave fundamental examples of periods. \n\nExample 1: Fourier coefficients of cusp forms on GL 2\n\nHere, G = GL 2 and H is the unipotent subgroup of G namely \n\nH:=\n\n{( 1 x\n\n0 1\n\n), x ∈ R\n\n}.For any g in GL 2(Q) ∖GL 2(AQ), the period \n\n∫\n\n> R\n\nf\n\n(\n\ng\n\n(1 t\n\n0 1\n\n)) \n\ne(−nt )d t\n\nis directly linked to the n-th Fourier coefficient of f for any n ∈ Z.\n\nExample 2: Special values of GL 2 L-functions Here, F is a number field, G = GL 2 and H is the torus subgroup of G namely \n\nH:=\n\n{( y 00 1\n\n), y > 0\n\n}.PROBLEM SESSIONS: \"SUBCONVEXITY BOUNDS FOR L-FUNCTIONS\" 5\n\nThe period ∫ \n\n> F×∖A×\n> F\n\nf\n\n(( y 00 1\n\n)) \n\nd× y\n\nis directly linked to the special value L( f, 1/2) up to Γ-factors. \n\nExample 3: Triple product formula Here, G = GL 2 × GL 2 and H = GL 2 is a subgroup of G via the diagonal embed-ding.Thus, an automorphic form F on G is a pair of automorphic forms f1 and \n\nf2 on GL 2. If h ∈ H then F (h) = f1(h) f2(h). The period \n\n∫\n\n> GL 2(Q)∖GL 2(AQ)\n\nf1(h) f2(h) f3(h)d h\n\nis linked (up to some factors) to the special value L( f1 × f2 × f3, 1/2). 2.2. A convexity bound for periods? The discussion was about understanding what could be a general bound for period which specializes to (sub)convex bounds for L-functions. Lindenstrauss said that a convex bound for period should be a bound that comes from general harmonic analysis results (it is the case for L-functions). Then, Miller defined an automorphic period which is our previous geometric period up to some factors (which are sometimes special values of L-functions). Thus, bounding these factors turns out to bounding both (automor-phic and geometric) periods. Another problem was trying to understand if there is a canonical way to define a period such that it does not depend on the choice of test vectors in the space of representations that occur. 2.3. List of problems to be discussed into small groups. \n\n• Subconvexity problems when the analytic conductor drops (in particu-lar for the symmetric square L-function). \n\n• Improving Weyl's exponent in various examples. In particular, investi-gate Soundararajan's idea about Dirichlet characters of highly compos-ite moduli or try to prove some explicit spectral decomposition of shifted convolution sums (Harcos' suggestion). \n\n• Develop explicit Good-Motoashi type identities. \n\n• Develop associativity type identities in the conductor aspect. \n\n• Formulate clearly period problems in relation to L-functions and repre-sentation theory. \n\n• Quantitative equidistribution results to prove subconvexity bounds. 3. W EDNESDAY PROBLEM SESSION \n\nHere is an incomplete list of the problems which could be understood in a close future. \n\n• Silberman suggested to try to prove a strong hybrid subconvexity bound for standard L-functions on GL n namely try to find δ > 0 such that \n\nL(π, 1/2 + i t ) ¿ε Q(π, 1/2 + i t )1/4 −δ+ε\n\nfor any ε > 0. According to Garett, the Diaconu-Garrett-Goldfeld ex-tension of Good's method to GL n xGL n−1 may have something to offer in this direction.Venkatesh also suggested to try to find some applica-tions of such subconvexity bound before proving them. For instance, 6 G. RICOTTA \n\nit can be interesting to clarify the links between subconvexity problems and equidistribution problems in higher rank for classical groups. Duke also had in mind to extract explicit information from higher rank Artin \n\nL-functions. \n\n• About periods, a very important point is to find an heuristic way of pre-dicting what is an analogue of convexity bounds and Lindelöf hypoth-esis for periods. Also, prove some bounds for periods which special-ize to subconvexity bounds for L-functions. Silberman mentioned the problem of predicting what could be the expected bound for the infinite norm of general automorphic forms when the spectral parameters go to infinity. \n\n• Jutila suggested to prove some Ω-results about the error term which oc-curs in some moments of families of L-functions. For instance, \n\n∫ \n\n> tÉT\n\n∣∣L( f, 1/2 + i t )∣∣2 dt = Main( T ) + Error( T )where Error( T ) = Ω(pT ) is expected to hold for any GL 2-automorphic form. What could be some applications of such Ω-results? \n\n• Venkatesh suggested to find a way to guess when it is possible to prove some asymptotic formula for some moment given by \n\n∑ \n\n> f∈F\n\nL( f, 1/2) where as usual the conductor of each L-function of F is of size almost constant say Q(F ) in the logarithmic scale and Q(F ) → +∞. If 4 log |F | > log Q(F )then we generally can prove an asymptotic formula. At the moment, the record is 6 log |F | = log Q(F )in the work of Conrey and Iwaniec on the cubic moment of automorphic \n\nL-functions. Can we do better? \n\n• Soundararajan asked if it is possible to prove some subconvexity bound in the critical strip but outside the critical line and eventually near the edge of the critical strip. One known instance is the ζ function in the \n\ns-aspect near ℜs = 1 via Vinogradov. \n\n• Michel asked about an analogy of (sub)convexity for p-adic L-functions. The answer could be some integrality property (Mazur, Prasad,...). 4. T HURSDAY PROBLEM SESSION \n\n• Venkatesh convinced us that many equidistribution results are useful to prove asymptotic formula for moments of L-functions with a power sav-ing in the error term if the suitable equidistribution results are quantita-tive ones. He illustrated this by two GL 2-examples namely \n\n∫ +T\n\n> −T\n\n∣∣L( f, 1/2 + i t )∣∣2 dt\n\nand ×∑ \n\n> χmod ( q)\n\n∫\n\n> R\n\n∣∣L( f × χ, 1/2 + i t )∣∣2 dt.PROBLEM SESSIONS: \"SUBCONVEXITY BOUNDS FOR L-FUNCTIONS\" 7\n\n• In addition, he mentioned what could be the obstacles to do the same in higher rank cases. On one hand, it is very hard to prove an inte-gral representation (period) of L-functions which occured in higher rank since the archimedean computation may be very far away from obvious. According to Garett, the Diaconu-Garrett-Goldfeld extension of Good's spectral-theory-based method to GL n xGL n−1 illustrates the complica-tions at archimedean places. On the other hand, it is necessary to anal-yse such integral representation via ergodic theory or spectral methods. Two difficult instances are given by On × On−1 and GL n ×GL n−1.\n\n• An application of subconvexity bounds for GL n may be some informa-tion about the 2 n-moment of the Riemann ζ function. For instance, some Motohashi type formula make the link between GL 3 and |ζ|6. We also have to mention the work of Conrey and Iwaniec. 5. F RIDAY PROBLEM SESSION \n\n• There will be a website dedicated to subconvexity for L-functions. Peo-ple agreed that it should contain references to important results, a list of people with their current attempts and previous results also. \n\n• Venkatesh put the stress on the subconvexity problem in higher-rank cases. Few methods are known which have bearing on it. After Venkatesh-Lindenstrauss and Bernstein-Reznikoff treatments of triple products, the exceptions are works in progress mentionned by Garett: Venkatesh's ap-plications of ergodic theoretic ideas coming from Ratner and Clozel, and Diaconu-Garrett-Goldfeld's GL n version of an old method of Good. Venkatesh suggested that a first higher rank example to undertake should be GL 3 × GL 2 with f3 on GL 3 is fixed and f2 is varying. In order to get some insight into that, it would be profitable for everybody that classi-cal analytic number theorists try to understand the case when f3 is an Eisenstein series namely \n\n∑ \n\n> fHecke-Maass of level 1 and eigenvalue 1/4 +t2\n> f\n> tfvT\n\n∫ \n\n> tvT\n\n∣∣L( f, 1/2 + i t )∣∣6 dt.Note that the size of the family is about T 3 whereas the size of the an-alytic conductor is about T 12 which reveals the level of difficulty. Also, people should understand where the GL 3-theory occurs in the analytic analysis.", "clean_statement": null, "public_statement": "1. Monday problem session 11.1.

Let f\n\nbe a Hecke Maass cusp form of level 1 and Laplacian eigenvalue λf:=\n\n1/4 + i t 2\n\n> f. We want to break the convexity bound for L( f, 1/2 + i t f ) in the spectral aspect namely to find δ > 0 (even microcospic) such that (1.1) L( f, 1/2 + i t f ) ¿ε t 1/4 −δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nfor any ε > 0. About this problem, two questions arose during the dis-cussion.\n\n- Is there a work on this from Luo?\n\n> Date: Version of December 8, 2006. Guillaume.Ricotta@math.u-bordeaux1.fr.\n> 12G. RICOTTA\n\n- Does somebody know an arithmetic application of such unkown convexity bound? Note that this is a case for which the analytic conductor drops since\n\nQ( f, 1/2 + i t f ) = (1 + ∣∣1/2 + i t f − i t f\n\n∣∣) ( 1 + ∣∣1/2 + i t f + i t f\n\n∣∣) ≈ t f.Thus, previous experience suggests that it should be difficult to prove. You can also think of the method of moments to be convinced: you will have to estimate an higher moment if you want to break convexity. An-other example in which the analytic conductor drops is given by (1.2) L( f × g, 1/2 + i t f ) ¿g,ε t 1/2 −δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nfor any ε > 0. Here, g is a fixed Hecke Maass cusp form. Note that if\n\ng is an holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight 4 and level q, such L-functions already appear in Phillips-Sarnak's deformation theory even if people are more interested in non-vanishing results in this context. Roughly speaking, this theory deals with the deformation of Γ0(q) in the direction given by g. The authors proved that a positive proportion (in a suitable sense) of L( f × g, 1/2 + i t f ) does not vanish which entails that a positive proportion (in the same suitable sense) of f 's is annihilated by such deformation.\n\n• Let f and g be two fixed Hecke Maass forms. We want to break the con-vexity bound for L( f × g, 1/2 + i t ) in the s-aspect namely to find δ > 0such that (1.3) L( f × g, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,g,ε t 1−δ+ε\n\nfor any ε > 0. Jutila suggested an extra-average over the spectral param-eter t f of f to produce some saving. For instance, he proved with Moto-hashi that\n\nL( f × g, 1/2 + i t ) ¿g,ε\n\n{t 1+ε /√ t f if t 3/2\n\n> f\n\n¿ t ¿ε t 2−ε\n\n> f,\n\n(t + t f\n\n)2/3 +ε if t ¿ t 3/2\n\n> f.How can we extend this range?\n\n• Let us talk about the symmetric-square L-function L(Sym 2 f, s) for any Hecke Maass cusp form of level q f, spectral parameter t f and nebenty-pus χf. This L-function is of degree 3. Thus, the subconvexity problem in the s-aspect is given by (1.4) L(Sym 2 f, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,ε t 3/4 −δ+ε\n\nfor any ε > 0 and for some δ > 0. About the three spectral parameters at infinity of L(Sym 2 f, s), one is of constant size and the two others are of size t f. Thus, the subconvexity problem in the spectral aspect is given by (1.5) L(Sym 2 f, 1/2 + i t ) ¿q f,t,ε t 1/2 −δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nfor any ε > 0 and for some δ > 0. The subconvexity problem in the level aspect is given by (1.6) L(Sym 2 f, 1/2 + i t ) ¿q f,t,ε qε ×\n\n{q1/2 −δ\n\n> f\n\nif χf trivial or non-quadratic,\n\nq1/4 −δ\n\n> f\n\notherwise PROBLEM SESSIONS: \"SUBCONVEXITY BOUNDS FOR L-FUNCTIONS\" 3\n\nfor some δ > 0 and for any ε > 0 since\n\nL( f × f, s) = L(χf, s)L(Sym 2 f, s). Michel said that if you know a subconvexity bound for L(Sym 2 f, s) in the\n\ns-aspect then you know (by Cauchy-Schwarz) a subconvexity bound for\n\nL( f × g, s) when f 6 = g and g is fixed in the s-aspect. He also said that the subconvexity problem for symmetric square L-functions could have some link with metaplectic tools on ˜GL 2 via an integral representation of this L-function in which an Eisenstein series on ˜GL 2 occurs.\n\n• Let us talk about triple L-functions. Let f, g, h some Hecke Maass forms,\n\nf being of level q f, spectral parameter t f, weight k f and the same nota-tions for the two others. We could be interested in the following subcon-vexity problems (1.7) L( f × g × h, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,g,t,qh k2−δ+ε\n\nwhen h is holomorphic. (1.8) L( f × g × h, 1/2 + i t ) ¿f,g,h,ε t 2−δ+ε.(1.9) L( f × f × h, 1/2) ¿q f,h,ε t 1−δ+ε\n\n> f.This last case is again an example of situation in which the conductor drops. Reznikov said that it is easier and doable to prove (1.10) L( f × g × h, 1/2) ¿ε t 2−δ+ε\n\n> f\n\nwhen f, g and h have some comparable but not equal spectral parame-ters at infinity such that the conductor does not drop. 1.2. Universality of convexity breaking exponents.\n\n• One aims at explaining the apparently unrelated occurences of Weyl's subconvexity exponent given by 1/4(1 − 1/3) and Burgess' subconvexity exponent given by 1/4(1 − 1/4). Remember that Weyl's subconvexity ex-ponent appears\n\n- in the subconvexity problem for GL 2 L-functions L( f, s) in the s and spectral aspect,\n\n- in the subconvexity problem for twisted L-functions L( f × χ, s) in the level aspect ( f and χ are of same level),\n\n- in the subconvexity problem for Rankin-Selberg L-functions L( f ×\n\ng, s) in the t f aspect whereas Burgess' subconvexity exponent appears\n\n- in the subconvexity problem for Dirichlet L-functions L(χ, s) in the level aspect,\n\n- in the subconvexity problem for twisted L-functions L( f × χ, s) in the conductor aspect of the character.\n\n• A natural problem is to find particular L-functions for which we know how to prove better exponents than Weyl and Burgess' ones. Soundarara-jan suggested to look at L(χ, s) when χ is of conductor say 3 n and n goes to infinity by taking advantage of Vinogradov's method. We can talk about subconvexity in the depth aspect in such context. A similar ex-ample is L( f × χ, s) by taking advantage of Graham-Ringrose's method when the modulus of χ is a higly divisible square-free integer. 4 G. RICOTTA\n\n• It is also natural to wonder if there exists some applications which need a better subconvexity exponent than Weyl or Burgess' one. Michel sug-gested an application to André Oort conjecture discovered by Edixhoven. This conjecture asserts that a curve contained in X0(1) × X0(1) which does not project to X0(1) itself and contains infinitely many CM points is the modular curve itself (embedded in the product as a graph of Hecke correspondence). Assuming GRH for quadratic imaginary fields, Edix-hoven \"proved\" this conjecture. The main hole for an unconditional proof being that he needs to know that the number of primes less than log 2 (|d|) log 22 (|d|) which are split in the quadratic imaginary field of dis-criminant d tends to infinity with d. Fouvry, applying a result of Linnik and Vinogradov, noticed that the number of primes less than |d|1/4 +ε\n\nwhich are split in the quadratic imaginary field of discriminant d tends to infinity with d. Improving Burgess' bound for character sums will im-prove the previous range. Studying these small split primes is a challeng-ing problem because it may occur when one wants to build an efficient amplifier. For instance, Duke-Friedlander-Iwaniec faced this problem when they tried to prove subconvexity bound for class group L-functions without appealing to the spectral theory of automorphic forms. 2. T UESDAY PROBLEM SESSION\n\n2.1. General definition and interesting examples of periods. Lindenstrauss gave the following general definition of period. Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G. The general space is given by\n\nX:= G(Q) ∖G(AQ). To any automorphic form f on X (a smooth function on X which belongs to the space of an automorphic representation), we define some periods by\n\n∫\n\n> H(Q)∖H(AQ)\n\nf (h)g (h)d h\n\nfor any automorphic form g on H (Q) ∖H (AQ). Then, people gave fundamental examples of periods.\n\nExample 1: Fourier coefficients of cusp forms on GL 2\n\nHere, G = GL 2 and H is the unipotent subgroup of G namely\n\nH:=\n\n{( 1 x\n\n0 1\n\n), x ∈ R\n\n}.For any g in GL 2(Q) ∖GL 2(AQ), the period\n\n∫\n\n> R\n\nf\n\n(\n\ng\n\n(1 t\n\n0 1\n\n))\n\ne(−nt )d t\n\nis directly linked to the n-th Fourier coefficient of f for any n ∈ Z.\n\nExample 2: Special values of GL 2 L-functions Here, F is a number field, G = GL 2 and H is the torus subgroup of G namely\n\nH:=\n\n{( y 00 1\n\n), y > 0\n\n}.PROBLEM SESSIONS: \"SUBCONVEXITY BOUNDS FOR L-FUNCTIONS\" 5\n\nThe period ∫\n\n> F×∖A×\n> F\n\nf\n\n(( y 00 1\n\n))\n\nd× y\n\nis directly linked to the special value L( f, 1/2) up to Γ-factors.\n\nExample 3: Triple product formula Here, G = GL 2 × GL 2 and H = GL 2 is a subgroup of G via the diagonal embed-ding.Thus, an automorphic form F on G is a pair of automorphic forms f1 and\n\nf2 on GL 2. If h ∈ H then F (h) = f1(h) f2(h). The period\n\n∫\n\n> GL 2(Q)∖GL 2(AQ)\n\nf1(h) f2(h) f3(h)d h\n\nis linked (up to some factors) to the special value L( f1 × f2 × f3, 1/2). 2.2. A convexity bound for periods? The discussion was about understanding what could be a general bound for period which specializes to (sub)convex bounds for L-functions. Lindenstrauss said that a convex bound for period should be a bound that comes from general harmonic analysis results (it is the case for L-functions). Then, Miller defined an automorphic period which is our previous geometric period up to some factors (which are sometimes special values of L-functions). Thus, bounding these factors turns out to bounding both (automor-phic and geometric) periods. Another problem was trying to understand if there is a canonical way to define a period such that it does not depend on the choice of test vectors in the space of representations that occur. 2.3. List of problems to be discussed into small groups.\n\n• Subconvexity problems when the analytic conductor drops (in particu-lar for the symmetric square L-function).\n\n• Improving Weyl's exponent in various examples. In particular, investi-gate Soundararajan's idea about Dirichlet characters of highly compos-ite moduli or try to prove some explicit spectral decomposition of shifted convolution sums (Harcos' suggestion).\n\n• Develop explicit Good-Motoashi type identities.\n\n• Develop associativity type identities in the conductor aspect.\n\n• Formulate clearly period problems in relation to L-functions and repre-sentation theory.\n\n• Quantitative equidistribution results to prove subconvexity bounds. 3. W EDNESDAY PROBLEM SESSION\n\nHere is an incomplete list of the problems which could be understood in a close future.\n\n• Silberman suggested to try to prove a strong hybrid subconvexity bound for standard L-functions on GL n namely try to find δ > 0 such that\n\nL(π, 1/2 + i t ) ¿ε Q(π, 1/2 + i t )1/4 −δ+ε\n\nfor any ε > 0. According to Garett, the Diaconu-Garrett-Goldfeld ex-tension of Good's method to GL n xGL n−1 may have something to offer in this direction.Venkatesh also suggested to try to find some applica-tions of such subconvexity bound before proving them. For instance, 6 G. RICOTTA\n\nit can be interesting to clarify the links between subconvexity problems and equidistribution problems in higher rank for classical groups. Duke also had in mind to extract explicit information from higher rank Artin\n\nL-functions.\n\n• About periods, a very important point is to find an heuristic way of pre-dicting what is an analogue of convexity bounds and Lindelöf hypoth-esis for periods. Also, prove some bounds for periods which special-ize to subconvexity bounds for L-functions. Silberman mentioned the problem of predicting what could be the expected bound for the infinite norm of general automorphic forms when the spectral parameters go to infinity.\n\n• Jutila suggested to prove some Ω-results about the error term which oc-curs in some moments of families of L-functions. For instance,\n\n∫\n\n> tÉT\n\n∣∣L( f, 1/2 + i t )∣∣2 dt = Main( T ) + Error( T )where Error( T ) = Ω(pT ) is expected to hold for any GL 2-automorphic form. What could be some applications of such Ω-results?\n\n• Venkatesh suggested to find a way to guess when it is possible to prove some asymptotic formula for some moment given by\n\n∑\n\n> f∈F\n\nL( f, 1/2) where as usual the conductor of each L-function of F is of size almost constant say Q(F ) in the logarithmic scale and Q(F ) → +∞. If 4 log |F | > log Q(F )then we generally can prove an asymptotic formula. At the moment, the record is 6 log |F | = log Q(F )in the work of Conrey and Iwaniec on the cubic moment of automorphic\n\nL-functions. Can we do better?\n\n• Soundararajan asked if it is possible to prove some subconvexity bound in the critical strip but outside the critical line and eventually near the edge of the critical strip. One known instance is the ζ function in the\n\ns-aspect near ℜs = 1 via Vinogradov.\n\n• Michel asked about an analogy of (sub)convexity for p-adic L-functions. The answer could be some integrality property (Mazur, Prasad,...). 4. T HURSDAY PROBLEM SESSION\n\n• Venkatesh convinced us that many equidistribution results are useful to prove asymptotic formula for moments of L-functions with a power sav-ing in the error term if the suitable equidistribution results are quantita-tive ones. He illustrated this by two GL 2-examples namely\n\n∫ +T\n\n> −T\n\n∣∣L( f, 1/2 + i t )∣∣2 dt\n\nand ×∑\n\n> χmod ( q)\n\n∫\n\n> R\n\n∣∣L( f × χ, 1/2 + i t )∣∣2 dt.PROBLEM SESSIONS: \"SUBCONVEXITY BOUNDS FOR L-FUNCTIONS\" 7\n\n• In addition, he mentioned what could be the obstacles to do the same in higher rank cases. On one hand, it is very hard to prove an inte-gral representation (period) of L-functions which occured in higher rank since the archimedean computation may be very far away from obvious. According to Garett, the Diaconu-Garrett-Goldfeld extension of Good's spectral-theory-based method to GL n xGL n−1 illustrates the complica-tions at archimedean places. On the other hand, it is necessary to anal-yse such integral representation via ergodic theory or spectral methods. Two difficult instances are given by On × On−1 and GL n ×GL n−1.\n\n• An application of subconvexity bounds for GL n may be some informa-tion about the 2 n-moment of the Riemann ζ function. For instance, some Motohashi type formula make the link between GL 3 and |ζ|6. We also have to mention the work of Conrey and Iwaniec. 5. F RIDAY PROBLEM SESSION\n\n• There will be a website dedicated to subconvexity for L-functions. Peo-ple agreed that it should contain references to important results, a list of people with their current attempts and previous results also.\n\n• Venkatesh put the stress on the subconvexity problem in higher-rank cases. Few methods are known which have bearing on it. After Venkatesh-Lindenstrauss and Bernstein-Reznikoff treatments of triple products, the exceptions are works in progress mentionned by Garett: Venkatesh's ap-plications of ergodic theoretic ideas coming from Ratner and Clozel, and Diaconu-Garrett-Goldfeld's GL n version of an old method of Good. Venkatesh suggested that a first higher rank example to undertake should be GL 3 × GL 2 with f3 on GL 3 is fixed and f2 is varying. In order to get some insight into that, it would be profitable for everybody that classi-cal analytic number theorists try to understand the case when f3 is an Eisenstein series namely\n\n∑\n\n> fHecke-Maass of level 1 and eigenvalue 1/4 +t2\n> f\n> tfvT\n\n∫\n\n> tvT\n\n∣∣L( f, 1/2 + i t )∣∣6 dt.Note that the size of the family is about T 3 whereas the size of the an-alytic conductor is about T 12 which reveals the level of difficulty. Also, people should understand where the GL 3-theory occurs in the analytic analysis.", "evidence": "The canonical object cannot be recovered as one mathematical problem.

His experiments revealed that perceptual organization correlated with reduced V1 activity and increases LOC activity. He showed that V1 activity can predict percept on the time-scale of behaviour. The decrease in V1 activity could mean two things 1) Predictive Coding 2) Sparsification. In predictive Coding high-level object models project back predictions of the incoming data. In this case a good fit implies a low activity at the lower areas due to subtraction. (The \"shut-up\" theory). In sparsification, a good high-level fit tells the lower areas to 'stop gossiping\".

What is the particular reason for ur circuits? Any predictions for us? Answer: I would like you to refer to my paper with Razada. There we stimulate in layer 6 and observe what happens in layer 4. The reason for Laminar architecture and how we came to it: We started working on grouping. What are the units of perception? To get at the grouping properties and analog coherence required certain ordering of mechanisms or else the data would collapse. Needed something which is robust and not parameter sensitive. We could see by analyzing the anatomy that it provided this required ordering of mechanisms in a compact way.

Qn: What is your prediction for an experiment where there is a stimulus in the center and the flanks are detected? Qn: Does your model need spikes? Answer: No you don't need spikes. Spikes are important in some situations (self syncrhonizing nets, order preserving limit cycles) but not required for other. Qn: Why are spikes there? Ans: So that we have non attenuated signal transmission over long distance. Also with spikes, we can compensate for axonal delay by increasing the diameter of axons.

(Speaker) Talk Summary: The speaker presented a spike-timing based communication mechanism for inter-neuron communication. He suggested reasons why a rate-coding based approach will not work. The proposed model includes a clock of period 20 msec. A signal P to be transmitted is encoded as the multiplication of a probability of firing sqrt(P) and a phase offset of sqrt(P) with respect to the clock. This model can reproduce observed PSTHs and receptive field characteristics. The 'Distributed Synchrony Model' was motivated by three criteria (1) Fast, reliable inter-cortical communication, (2) the need for a cell to multiplex and (3) the need to reproduce observed cell responses. Discussion and Questions Q: Is the cortex trying to reconstruct the image or trying to extract some features from the image? A: In this case yes..trying to reconstruct. Q: (Regarding the PSTHs). Your model will reproduce the PSTHs only when the stimulus is presented in synchronization with the internal clock. A: That is true. But we assume that the cortex picks up the signal from the retina in a syncrhonized fashion. Q: (Regarding) Coding cost of different strategies. Does the cost come from the learning part or the prediction part? A: We don't make that distinction. Q: Does your feedback rule have any relation with EM? A: The feedback rule is motivated by the EM rule. 8\n\nQ: (Regarding the synaptic weights used for receptive field simulations) Are the synap-tic weights pretty similar or are they different. A: Depending on how we pick the weights we can get different receptive fields (Steve): You have a shut up model. But in my talk I gave an example where top-down feedback is excitatory. Could you comment on all these experiments that say that feedback is not shut up. A: In this model feedback is indeed shutup. Comment(Alessandra): Anatomical studies show that feedback is excitatory in center and inhibitory in surround. Comment(Steve): I thinkt that end stopping is caused by feedback from V2 is false. Q: It seems that phase has done two things with the clock. Multiplexing and Coding. A: That is right. The width of the 20 ms is related to the number of 'threads' that you have. Q(Bill): At the beginning of the clock..how does the neuron forget everything? A: We assume that there is some magical swap space available for storing all the information and then swapping it back in. Q(Bill): Also how does the cell generate the random number?

Q (Jeff): You are confusing with models and theory. Do you think there is a neurobi-ological explanation for all this. Answer: Reductionism is metaphysical. Comment(Dana): Through development we get the the kinetic depth and stereo vision. We might not be able to get this figured out until we track the developmental trajectory. Also perception and motor systems do interact.

Susan Holmes opened the discussion by suggesting that we might ask the biologists: what mathematical or biological questions related to phylogenetic trees are most important to biologists? She also invited clarifications about things that have been addressed in talks earlier in the day. Q. What properties of phylogenetic trees make them different from random trees? Is there some kind of structure that makes them different? (Epstein) \n\n• Phylogenetic trees don't look like trees generated by random branching processes. (Huelsenbeck) Q. What are the characteristics that a \"distance between trees\" should have that biologists would want? (Luecke) \n\n• Luecke: For instance, the Billara-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) metric measures dis-tances along geodesics in tree space, and the trees change as you move along the geodesic, but does this have a reasonable biological intepretation? \n\n• Sober: that does not have biological meaning. Biologists just want to know how to tell if trees are similar or not. \n\n• Felsenstein: you are assuming we (biologists) want a notion of distance between trees? (Scribe: this appears to have been in contrast to just a notion of similarity. This elicited remarks from mathematicians about the fruitfulness of using a metric to tell how similar two trees are.) \n\n• Huelsenbeck pointed out several ways to measure how different trees are, e.g., involv-ing the contraction/expansion of edges to get from one to the other, or differences in length of edges, or squared branch length, etc. Some discussion of the Robinson-Foulds distance ensued. \n\n• Luecke: so computational simplicity would be one important consideration for a distance. \n\n• Huelsenbeck: Any distance notion on phylogenetic trees should have a good theoret-ical foundation. 4\n\nQ. Is there a difference between some real distribution of trees on tree space rather than some random distribution? (Holmes) \n\n• Evans: this will help us to construct meaningful confidence sets on trees. \n\n• Felsenstein: Tree spaces are weird. For a cloud of trees, we want to characterize where in this space those trees are. Q. Problem: make notions of distances accessible to biologists, so they might use them. (Huelsenbeck) \n\n• Some comments were made about the use of methods of Kuhner-Felsenstein, weighted Robinson-Foulds, in biology. \n\n• Diaconis pointed out that in his work on non-standard data structures, the notions of distances are very useful and basic. In doing exploratory analyses, they can be useful in statistical tasks. So, what do biologists think of these distances? \n\n• Holmes pointed out that how fast MCMC methods converge depends on the geometry of the space, and the metric chosen. \n\n• Huelsenbeck suggested that a useful task for mathematicians would be to make some sense of the uses of these distances to biologists? (such as in an article pitched to biologists). More comments about tree space topology and branch lengths: \n\n• Huelsenbeck: are there versions of tree space that biologists might not be interested in, due to technical conditions? For instance, if you give a program an alignment, the branches have to be short enough so that you can align them. \n\n• Felsenstein: In many cases in biology we are interested in grappling with, such as origins of mammals, many of the orders seem to have popped up rather quickly. We could be interested in (a) the branch length and (b) the topology. When the orders diverged, important things were happening very quickly, such as morphological changes. But the molecules you are studying may not have been involved. If you are interested in those morphological changes, it is important to know what order the branching occurred. On the other hand, in some other questions, topology many not be as important as branch length. It really depends on the question you are asking. \n\n• Sober: A third issue is important: the character states of the interior nodes of trees. You might want to know what is the sequence of changes that occurred on some branch? for instance in some calculation, you may want to integrate over all possible states of interior nodes. Felsenstein pointed out that these states on interior nodes are sometimes overinterpreted- they are often viewed as actual states, rather than estimates. \n\n• Penny: in biology, knowing the \"true\" tree may only be a starting point of the real investigation- some other aspect that the biologist is truly interested in. Huelsen-beck gave an example of an evolution biologist interested in sexual selection. Al-though she made a phylogeny (what she thought was the best tree), she wasn't primarily interested in the phylogeny, but in further questions about sexual selec-tion. Q. How to pick a tree (or tree average) from a set of trees resulting from data? 5\n\n• Epstein: in bacteria dna fragments, each one gives a tree. Which one to use? Need a tree distance to analyze the resulting 22 different trees. The distance he used was the BHV metric, but he suspects one obtains much the same answer with many different tree metrics. \n\n• Evans: this is similar to Mallow's model in statistics, where you have a distribution on permutations, centered on a permutation, dropping off in some radial sense. Here, you have a central tree, and then the probability that you observe some other tree dies off as you move farther away. \n\n• Penny: one approach to identify \"bad\" portions of a tree is to try to \"identify the guilty taxon\", by succedssively removing taxa and then see whether this stabilizes the tree significantly. Q. How to understand or deal with residuals, such as non-tree like data? \n\n• Holmes: gave an example in which a friend has a reference tree, and 8 different plumage trees. In tree space, if the plumage tree differs from the reference dna tree in some direction, is that present in the way these things actually evolved? In statistics, when doing regression, you compare data points to a fitted line, and ignore the ones that are way off. Here, in tree space, there's a similar question for non-tree like data: how much did I have to bend the data to make it into a tree? \n\n• Sober: how do you decide how much off is too much, before you are worried? (Scribe's note: this seems to require a notion of distance not just on tree space, but some larger space- such as on the space of DNA sequences- in which tree space is embedded. We discussed embedding questions on Wednesday.) More comments on distances: \n\n• Diaconis told a story where distances fit data remarkably well. Perception psycholo-gist Roger Shepard studied the visual system, by showing subjects a configuration of blocks, then some other configuration, and then asked them: are they are the same? He found that the time it took people to decide was the geodesic in the three di-mensional rotation group. The data is quite remarkable, and gave straight line plots. We know what it means to measure the distance in the rotation group (but why the brain should know about this is some fascinating subject in itself.) \n\n• Similarly, does a distance between trees have to have some interpretation in terms of evolution, in order to be the \"right\" notion of distance? \n\n• Epstein: For instance, given dna or amino acid sequences, one for each taxon, this data produces a tree. As sequences change or evolve one nucleotide at a time, the trees will change. What path does this trace out in tree space? (Scribe's note: this appears to require a space of trees that includes trees with many different numbers of leaves, so that one can speak of how a tree evolves as species split off from one another.) \n\n• In response to a question, Felsenstein mentioned a few sources of variation in trees: (a) statistical error. (b) coalescence: take a gene copy in three species, and think of copies ancestral to these. The copies do not come together instantly, but have some stochastic chance of mixing, and they may come in some random order that conflicts with a species tree. (c) horizontal gene transfer. (Scribe's note: a more detailed discussion of this topic can be found in Tuesday's discussion.) 6\n\nQ. Which is better: concatenating DNA sequences first or averaging trees later? \n\n• Holmes: empirical studies show that if you take all the data and compute one tree, you generally do less well at estimating the tree than than if you take the fragments, use them, then average them. This comes from the CAT(0) property. The intuition behind it is if you average in a negatively curved space, you converge much faster than you should. \n\n• St. John: pointed out an example with 20 simulated DNA sequences: if a is one part of the genome, and b is another part, then the trees obtained from using a combined with b do not overlap, and are somewhat in between, the trees obtained from a and from b alone. Felsenstein commented that the stochastic effects pushed a and b in different directions in tree space. She also noted that in studying hybridization (e.g., sunflowers), she was surprised that she didn't get more overlap, and often the right answer was with part of the data, not all the data. \n\n• Felsenstein: Biologists are in disagreement about whether concatenating or averaging is better. Statistically, which is better? \n\n• It was pointed out that a paper by Cunningham (1997) does comparisons. Also, work by Amit, and statistical literature on boosting and bagging. \n\n• Billera: there's a notion of equivalent metrics in topology, and any of these will do. (In doing geometry, where issues like curvature come into play, the choice of metrics is important.) It may be the case that even though certain metrics are good enough for some purposes, it doesn't mean that other metrics aren't valid. Q. What is the right notion of an \"average\" of trees? \n\n• The biologists present agreed that this was a very interesting question for biologists. \n\n• Vert: Two important ideas emerge when working with decision trees: (1) average decrease some variance, (2) averaging can leave the space. Boosting will leave the space, if we don't leave the space it's really not boosting. The averaging we are discussing here doesn't leave the space of trees. \n\n• More discussion on averaging took place here. Holmes made a comment about the \"non-associativity\" of trees (related to considering trees of trees, when building trees one character at a time). Billera made some remarks about how averaging may be better than concatenation, but we have no guarantee that it is any good. \n\n• Penny discussed the notion of a median tree: the tree that is closest on average to all the others. \n\n• Felsenstein: other examples are the consensus tree, and majority rule consensus tree. Q. What are good properties of averaging? (Luecke) \n\n• Penny: would like a fully resolved binary tree, though he points out that some others might sacrifice that in favor of other features. \n\n• Felsenstein posed a problem about averaging properties: given a bunch of trees from different genes, to study a question like: are chimps closer to humans than gorillas? Say 2/3 of the trees trees show humans with chimps, others show chimps with gorillas. Suppose in trees that group humans with chimps, the average branch length is 1, but the others don't have it. When you average... do you want it to be length.66 or length 1? 7\n\nThere was a question about how different are trees that result from diffrent averaging methods. It was pointed out (Huelsenbeck) that differences between methods for a single gene is much smaller than the differences across genes. Q. What would be the distribution on trees that gives majority rule consensus as its average? (Holmes) \n\n• Holmes: would like any tree average to be an expected value with respect to some distribution on tree space.", "clean_statement": "A.2 Sunday Discussion on Biological Issues\n\nThe discussion was moderated by John Luecke.

What is the right notion of an \"average\" of trees?\n\n• The biologists present agreed that this was a very interesting question for biologists.\n\n• Vert: Two important ideas emerge when working with decision trees: (1) average decrease some variance, (2) averaging can leave the space. Boosting will leave the space, if we don't leave the space it's really not boosting. The averaging we are discussing here doesn't leave the space of trees.\n\n• More discussion on averaging took place here. Holmes made a comment about the \"non-associativity\" of trees (related to considering trees of trees, when building trees one character at a time). Billera made some remarks about how averaging may be better than concatenation, but we have no guarantee that it is any good.\n\n• Penny discussed the notion of a median tree: the tree that is closest on average to all the others.\n\n• Felsenstein: other examples are the consensus tree, and majority rule consensus tree. Q. What are good properties of averaging? (Luecke)\n\n• Penny: would like a fully resolved binary tree, though he points out that some others might sacrifice that in favor of other features.\n\n• Felsenstein posed a problem about averaging properties: given a bunch of trees from different genes, to study a question like: are chimps closer to humans than gorillas? Say 2/3 of the trees trees show humans with chimps, others show chimps with gorillas. Suppose in trees that group humans with chimps, the average branch length is 1, but the others don't have it. When you average... do you want it to be length.66 or length 1? 7\n\nThere was a question about how different are trees that result from diffrent averaging methods. It was pointed out (Huelsenbeck) that differences between methods for a single gene is much smaller than the differences across genes. Q. What would be the distribution on trees that gives majority rule consensus as its average? (Holmes)\n\n• Holmes: would like any tree average to be an expected value with respect to some distribution on tree space.", "evidence": "This record is Section A.2, “Sunday Discussion on Biological Issues,” in the official AIM workshop notes *Geometric Models of Biological Phenomena*, version dated 18 June 2003. It is a moderated, multi-question discussion rather than one narrowly stated conjecture.

She started off the discussion by asking: Q. What combinatorial questions arise in biology that might be of interest to biologists? Or, what problems motivated by biology would be of interest to mathematicians, to give us some interesting problems? \n\n• Huelsenbeck: In putting priors on the set of all possible trees, we sometimes need to count trees with particular characteristics, such as ones with a particular kind of edge (split, bipartition), or a list of either this or that kind of edge. The constraints may be multiple or conflicting. The count is needed so that we can sum probabilities over these trees. \n\n• Holmes pointed out that inclusion/exclusion issues are involved here. There was some discussion about NP-hard problems, but Billera pointed out that complexity issues are not that relevant for the basic question of how to count these things. Q. Given a set S of k edges, and a subset J of S, how many leaf labeled binary trees have some subset J of S but not the edges in S − J? Do this for all J.\n\n• Evans asked why we can't just use MCMC to solve this problem? Holmes pointed out that the combinatorics may give some insight. \n\n• Another example of a question that arises: the number of trees that are distance d\n\nfrom a particular set of trees (e.g., using a distance such as nearest-neighbor inter-change)? Q. What are good codings for trees? \n\n• Wachs described a bijection between phylogenetic trees and type B permutations whose left-to-right minimum is unbarred. (Type B permutations are permutations in which each number can be barred or unbarred.) This can be used as a coding for trees. \n\n• There was a question about Penny's method for coding trees (in which each time you add an edge there are 2 n − 1 places to add it, so that you get (2 n − 1)!! of them). Billera said that this is the same as what was on the board. \n\n• Penny mentioned the existence of another scheme for coding each tree by a unique number. Holmes pointed out that the biologists use a Newick notation (New Hamp-shire format) that uses lots of parentheses. Another coding is a matrix where the columns are edges, and the rows are vertices, and you put a 1 if the edge is an ancestor of the vertex. (Brooks used it in biology, and Graham-Winkler used for addressing a network). 8\n\n• Holmes described a matching representation is one due to Diaconis-Holmes. When \n\nn = 2 there is one matching, when n = 4 there are 3 matchings, when n = 6 there are 15 matchings, corresponding to 4 leaf trees. The matchings are the sibling pairs. Example: n = 6. Call the numbers from 1 to 4 available numbers, and the other numbers unavailable. Given a matching 16 − 42 − 53, pick the first available pair of numbers. By pigeonhole argument, there is some pair, that's a sibling pair in a tree. Then the smallest non-available number (5, in this case) is the parent, and the other member of the pair (3) is the sibling of 5. Continue. \n\n• Diaconis pointed out their matching method is related to Billera's method using Prufer codes. Q. Is there an efficient representation for coding trees? (Billera) Q. Is there a nice neat notation for trees that is continuous when doing a random walk on trees? In other words, do small changes in notation correspond to close trees? (Diaconis) \n\n• The type B permutation coding might be very amenable to doing a random walk. Bridson pointed out that this representation is related to subsets of the Cayley graph of the Weyl group. Q. Are there questions that combinatorialists might have for biologists? Combinatorial structures that biologists might be interesting? (Wachs) Q. If we took trees and instead of putting real numbers of them, putting discrete values, like 0-1, would that be of interest in biologists? (Diaconis) \n\n• Huelsenbeck: this maybe useful in character-mapping, mapping characters that are on or off. Perhaps some substitutions are more likely when characters are on. \n\n• Epstein: it certainly seems reasonable to associate to each edge a vector, rather than a real number. \n\n• Evans: as in Penny's talk, characters of each of the vertices can be thought of as elements of the Klein 4-group... the edges can represent differences of elements at the vertices. \n\n• Wachs: what about k-ary trees? \n\n• Penny: people find cycles useful for representing uncertainty.

The discussion started off with some comments about Riemannian metrics and whether the set of metrics on tree space would be useful to study. \n\n• Vogtmann asked if this space may be too large to study? \n\n• Forman noted that when geometers look at the space of all Riemannian metrics on a given space, they do it to try to find the \"best\" metric in some sense (e.g., such as one with constant curvature). Q. Are there many useful or interesting metrics on tree space? Q. Is the BHV metric the only one (up to scalars) of non-positive curvature? (Bridson) \n\n• Charney: metrics are slightly different, but they should all be similar. If there is no reason that biologists suggest that one is better than another, then it makes sense to choose one that has useful properties, such as metrics of nonpositive curvature. \n\n• Billera: for biologists, what metrics do you want to have on the orthants? Q. What metrics \"should\" be used on the subspace obtained by fixing the tree type? \n\n• St. John: uses the L1 metric, though Felsenstein uses L2.\n\n• Penny: we use L1 because then lengths scale with time. \n\n• Charney: since the data is not completely in tree space, maybe we should be consid-ering non-intrinsic metrics. \n\n• Forman: want to choose metrics so that the statistical methods we are using are continuous. \n\n• Flath: perhaps some edges are more important than others? \n\n• Penny: we are not surprised when we get edges near leaves are accurate, but we are really interested in getting deep internal edges right. \n\n• Penny: taxonomic studies, just care about the branch order (weight 1 on edges), but when we consider time studies, we do want the lengths. \n\n• Forman: measuring the residuals seem to imply that embedding tree space in some larger space and considering an extrinsic metric would be important. \n\n• Vogtmann noted that Felsenstein was talking about embedding tree space in Eu-clidean space (using the Robinson-Foulds metric). Q. How does the Robinson-Foulds metric compare with the BHV metric? (Diaconis) What's the Lipshitz constant? (Bridson) \n\n• Vert: Another distance (referred to by Felsenstein in his talk) is Kullback-Leibler distance (relative entropy) between probabilities. Fix a model. Each tree defines a probability on the set of assignments of letters (A,G,C,T) to leaves. Maximum likelihood corresponds to projection of the empirical measure of a data point to tree space according to this distance. 11 \n\nThere was some explanation and discussion of this embedding. Diaconis noted that while there are many metrics on probability distributions to consider here, the Kullback-Liebler separation is good for maximum likelihood. Q. Should the metric on tree space come from an intrinsic metric, or an extrinsic metric on a larger space in which tree space is embedded? Which is a more natural way to view tree space? \n\n• Forman: studying the residuals seems to be very important. This larger space is part of what you are given in the data, and should be useful. Charney rephrased the question as: what is the right ambient space to embed tree space? While Bridson remarked that he viewed tree space as God-given, Forman asserted that he views the data as God-given. \n\n• Vert remarked that the \"average\" of trees with high likelihood may not be high likelihood with the intrinsic metric. Q. How do you deliver geometry to biologists? (Billera) \n\n• Billera pointed out that interesting mathematics in biology seems to happen by serendipity- cases in which someone happened to know some mathematics or knew someone who did. \n\n• Penny: notes that there is a role for mathematics to play. Also new majors in mathematical biology (at some schools) have arisen that will train students to think in both disciplines. \n\n• Diaconis notes that as a result of this conference, and ensuing discussions, people might write an article for Science.

The discussion started off with some comments about Riemannian metrics and whether the set of metrics on tree space would be useful to study.\n\n• Vogtmann asked if this space may be too large to study?\n\n• Forman noted that when geometers look at the space of all Riemannian metrics on a given space, they do it to try to find the \"best\" metric in some sense (e.g., such as one with constant curvature).

Q. What metrics \"should\" be used on the subspace obtained by fixing the tree type?\n\n• St. John: uses the L1 metric, though Felsenstein uses L2.\n\n• Penny: we use L1 because then lengths scale with time.\n\n• Charney: since the data is not completely in tree space, maybe we should be consid-ering non-intrinsic metrics.\n\n• Forman: want to choose metrics so that the statistical methods we are using are continuous.\n\n• Flath: perhaps some edges are more important than others?\n\n• Penny: we are not surprised when we get edges near leaves are accurate, but we are really interested in getting deep internal edges right.\n\n• Penny: taxonomic studies, just care about the branch order (weight 1 on edges), but when we consider time studies, we do want the lengths.\n\n• Forman: measuring the residuals seem to imply that embedding tree space in some larger space and considering an extrinsic metric would be important.\n\n• Vogtmann noted that Felsenstein was talking about embedding tree space in Eu-clidean space (using the Robinson-Foulds metric).

Diaconis noted that while there are many metrics on probability distributions to consider here, the Kullback-Liebler separation is good for maximum likelihood. Q. Should the metric on tree space come from an intrinsic metric, or an extrinsic metric on a larger space in which tree space is embedded? Which is a more natural way to view tree space?\n\n• Forman: studying the residuals seems to be very important. This larger space is part of what you are given in the data, and should be useful.

Billera noted that, as it was the final discussion session, anything is a valid topic today. The discussion started off with some comments about the usefulness of the workshop: \n\n• Billera began by remarking that the organizers worried that having 4 different groups of people at this workshop from different backgrounds could have been disastrous. But he noted that it didn't appear to be... and had found it interesting, and was pleased with how much discussion had taken place. \n\n• Diaconis emphasized the usefulness of this workshop for generating problems to work on, and cited an example of residuals for discrete data analysis, as something worth following up, as well as the discussion in the geometry session about what are natural measures on tree space. He noted that the workshop was valuable because he couldn't think of another setting in which all these ideas from different arenas could all come together. 12 \n\nQ. Concatenation as \"averaging\"? \n\n• Billera noted that in the discussion about averaging, he was struck with the idea that concatenation was an average in sequence space, an idea that he hadn't appreciated until this workshop. One question He noted that the conference had touched on many ways to go from sequences to trees, and one of the big questions was whether these methods were coherent with concatenation-averaging. \n\n• Penny: it is worrisome that there are many different ways of concatenating, and how to handle the number of parameters? Q. Likelihood contours? \n\n• There was further discussion about confidence sets and likelihood contours, and how these might intersect transition points where the tree space branches in several di-rections. For instance, if a maximum likelihood process produces a tree with very short edge, then it would be near a transition. There was also discussion of whether the notion of curvature on tree space would be helpful. Q. Multivariate \"metrics\"? \n\n• Holmes: in the date that arises for trees, you get multivariate distances. We may want to speak of directions? is there anything like that in metric topology? \n\n• Diaconis: there are some distances that take values in partially ordered sets, etc., distances as a vector, etc. Q. Alternate representations (not trees)? \n\n• Epstein asked if are there other notions besides trees that would be helpful? \n\n• St. John: Networks? Trees with several non-tree portions. Q. Random walks on trees (generate letters, prodcue new trees) \n\n• Vert: One can imagine a random walks in this space of trees, by starting a tree, generate data, estimate a tree (by maximum likelihood). Do this number of times, get a random walk? Might be interesting to study this walk? Q. Would it be useful to study 2-colored trees to model orthology and paralogy? (Shareshian) During the session, Diaconis suggested that, as a follow up to this conference, people can now get together in small groups and communicate and start to work on a problem, whereas this wasn't true before the beginning of the week.

For the exact statement of his result, see Theorem 5.1. This shows that for any given r, the number of counterexamples to the conjecture (if any) is finite.\n\n• Cayley graphs (which implies all vertex transitive graphs using coset representations) by Hamidoune [15]. This proof uses a lemma of Kemperman [21] (Lemma 5.9). Also, Shen [32] proved that if deg +(u) + deg +(v) ≥ 4 for all ( u, v ) ∈ E(G), then g ≤ d n/ 2e,where g denotes the girth of G. This is an average local outdegree version for the r = 2 case of the Caccetta-H¨ aggkvist conjecture.\n\n#2.2 Approximate Results I - Additive Constant\n\nAnother approach is to show that if δ+\n\n> G\n\n≥ r, then there is a cycle of length at most n\n\n> r\n\n+ c for some small c. This has been proved for some values of c, as follows:\n\n• c = 2500 by Chv´ atal and Szemer´ edi [9]\n\n• c = 304 by Nishimura [27]\n\n• c = 73 by Shen [31]. 22.3 Approximate Results II - Special Case n/3\n\nThe case r = n/ 2 is trivial, but r = n/ 3 has received much attention. Research has sought the minimum constant c such that δ+\n\n> G\n\n≥ cn in an n-vertex simple digraph G forces a directed cycle of length at most 3. The conjecture is that c = 1 /3, and the current results are:\n\n• c ≤ (3 − √5) /2 = 0.382 by Caccetta and H¨ aggkvist [5]\n\n• c ≤ (2 √6 − 3) /5 = 0.3797 by Bondy in a neat subgraph counting argument [4]\n\n• c ≤ 3 − √7 = 0.3542 by [29] Similarly, Seymour, Graaf, and Schrijver [12] asked for the minimum value of β so that when the minimum inand out-degrees of G are at least βn, G has a directed cycle of length at most 3. They proved that β ≤ 0.3487 and gave a formula relating β and c.

A paper summarizing the work of two groups- Chudnovsky and Seymour and Cornuejols, Liu and Vuscovic- is due to appear in Combinatorica. The algorithm is independent of the proof of the strong perfect graph conjecture. \n\nA.2 Interaction Between Skew-Partitions and 2-joins \n\nOne can think of algorithms for testing for odd holes if you use only 2-joins to decom-pose a graph, or if you use only skew partitions. However, the interaction between skew partition steps and 2-join steps adds another level of difficulty. Can one argue that this can be reduced only to testing for holes as you decompose using skew partitions only and testing for holes using 2-joins only? Contributed by Jeremy Spinrad Similar approach worked in algorithms for recognizing even-hole-free graphs: first the graph is decomposed via vertex cut-sets, and only then via 2-joins. The 2-join decomposition blocks are defined in such a way that no new vertex cutset is introduced. Contributed by Kristina Vuskoic \n\nA.3 The Perfect-Graph Robust Algorithm Problem \n\nAn algorithm, which for any easily recognizable input, A, finds either an easily rec-ognizable B or an easily recognizable C, is sometimes called a \"robust algorithm\" - to be distinguished from a non-robust algorithm, which, for any A without a B, finds a C. Either provides a proof of the \"existentially polytime (EP) theorem\": For any A, there exists a B or a C. In other words: For any A without a B, there is a C. In [92i:68043 ], Jack Edmonds and Kathie Cameron advocated seeking a robust al-gorithm which, for any graph G, finds either a clique and colouring the same size or else finds an easily recognizable combinatorial obstruction to G being perfect. The obstruction might be specified to be a \"alpha-omega partitioned subgraph\", or it might be specified more particularly to be an odd hole or odd antihole. Such an algorithm might be simpler than an algorithm for recognizing whether or not a graph is perfect, in view of precedents, and since what it would do is incomparable with perfect-graph recognition. Such an algorithm could end up giving a clique and colouring the same size in a non-perfect graph. Here are two examples of similar problems which have been solved. Edmonds has given a simple robust algorithm which, for any graph G, either finds an odd cycle > 3 with at most one chord (a defining obstruction to G being Meyniel) or else finds a clique and colouring the same size. This is an improvement on the non-robust algorithms of Hoang and Hertz which, assuming a graph is Meyniel, find a clique and colouring the same size. Edmonds' algorithm is much simpler than the Burlet-Fonlupt decomposition algorithm for recognizing Meyniel graphs, which was motivated by an interest in optimizing in Meyniel graphs, and which is used by Hoang and Hertz. 5\n\nConforti and Cornuejols give a complicated decomposition algorithm for recognizing whether or not a matrix is balanced. At about the same time, to motivate the advocacy of a robust algorithm for either node-colouring a graph or recognizing it to be not perfect, Cameron and Edmonds presented a simple algorithm which, for any 0-1 matrix M, either finds, where x is the largest number of ones in any row, an x-colouring of the columns so that the 1's of any row are in different coloured columns, or else finds \"an odd hole\" in M (the defining obstruction to M being balanced). This introduced the \"EP - robust algorithm\" paradigm which is followed in Edmonds' Meyniel-related algorithm, and is related to the Conforti-Cornuejols-Rao treatment of balanced matrices in the same way that Edmonds' is related to the Burlet-Fonlupt treatment of Meyniel graphs. Following the same paradigm we expect there to be a robust algorithm proving the SPCG, related in the same way to the Chudnovsky-Robertson-Seymour-Thomas decomposition of Berge graphs. In conclusion, we know the following EP Theorem 1: For any graph, there is either a clique and a colouring of the same size, or there is an alpha-omega partitioned subgraph (or both). EP Theorem 2 (SPGT): For any graph, there is either a clique and a colouring of the same size, or there is a odd hole or odd antihole (or both).

The following questions have been suggested during the workshop: 1.

Normally every skew-partition has 4 decomposition blocks. What if we could prove that it is enough to consider only two blocks for each skew-partition.

The algorithm is independent of the proof of the strong perfect graph conjecture.\n\nA.2 Interaction Between Skew-Partitions and 2-joins\n\nOne can think of algorithms for testing for odd holes if you use only 2-joins to decom-pose a graph, or if you use only skew partitions. However, the interaction between skew partition steps and 2-join steps adds another level of difficulty. Can one argue that this can be reduced only to testing for holes as you decompose using skew partitions only and testing for holes using 2-joins only? Contributed by Jeremy Spinrad Similar approach worked in algorithms for recognizing even-hole-free graphs: first the graph is decomposed via vertex cut-sets, and only then via 2-joins. The 2-join decomposition blocks are defined in such a way that no new vertex cutset is introduced.

Either provides a proof of the \"existentially polytime (EP) theorem\": For any A, there exists a B or a C. In other words: For any A without a B, there is a C. In [92i:68043 ], Jack Edmonds and Kathie Cameron advocated seeking a robust al-gorithm which, for any graph G, finds either a clique and colouring the same size or else finds an easily recognizable combinatorial obstruction to G being perfect. The obstruction might be specified to be a \"alpha-omega partitioned subgraph\", or it might be specified more particularly to be an odd hole or odd antihole. Such an algorithm might be simpler than an algorithm for recognizing whether or not a graph is perfect, in view of precedents, and since what it would do is incomparable with perfect-graph recognition. Such an algorithm could end up giving a clique and colouring the same size in a non-perfect graph. Here are two examples of similar problems which have been solved. Edmonds has given a simple robust algorithm which, for any graph G, either finds an odd cycle > 3 with at most one chord (a defining obstruction to G being Meyniel) or else finds a clique and colouring the same size. This is an improvement on the non-robust algorithms of Hoang and Hertz which, assuming a graph is Meyniel, find a clique and colouring the same size. Edmonds' algorithm is much simpler than the Burlet-Fonlupt decomposition algorithm for recognizing Meyniel graphs, which was motivated by an interest in optimizing in Meyniel graphs, and which is used by Hoang and Hertz. 5\n\nConforti and Cornuejols give a complicated decomposition algorithm for recognizing whether or not a matrix is balanced.

The following conjecture, due to Everett and Reed attempts to characterize perfectly contractile graphs. \n\nPerfectly Contractile Graph Conjecture (PCGC) A graph is perfectly contractile if and only if it does not contain an odd hole, an antihole nor an odd prism. \n\nWe propose to investigate the PCGC and a possible construction of a polynomial-time recognition algorithm for perfectly contractile graphs, through the decomposition method. The decomposition method is based on a decomposition theorem of the following form, for the class of graphs C we want to analyse. \n\nDecomposition Theorem If G ∈ C, then G is either basic or it contains certain types of cutsets. \n\nBasic stands for a certain \"simple\" subclass of C.The idea of a decomposition based recognition algorithm for the class C is as follows. In a connected graph G, a node set (or an edge set or a combination of the two) is a \n\ncutset if its removal disconnects G into two or more connected components. From these components blocks of decomposition are constructed by adding some more nodes and edges. A decomposition is C-preserving if it satisfies the following: G belongs to C if and only if all the blocks of decomposition belong to C. A decomposition based recognition algorithm takes an input graph G and decomposes it using C-preserving decompositions into a polynomial number of basic blocks, which are then checked, in polynomial time, whether they belong to \n\nC.Such a construction of blocks works nicely for clique cutsets. A node set S is a star cutset of a graph G if its removal disconnects G and S contains a node that is adjacent to all the other nodes of S. With the usual construction of blocks for the node cutsets, the star cutset decomposition is not preserving for the class of perfectly contractile graphs. A generalization of star cutsets is obtained as follows. 1-Amalgams are defined and used in for the construction of a recognition algorithm for Meyniel graphs. A graph G has a \n\n1-amalgam if its vertex set can be partitioned into sets V1, V2 and K (where K is possibly empty) in such a way that: \n\n• for i = 1, 2, |Vi| ≥ 2 and Vi contains a nonempty set Ai;\n\n• every node of A1 is adjacent to every node of A2 and these are the only adjacencies between the nodes of V1 and the nodes of V2; and \n\n• if K 6 = ∅, then it induces a clique, and every node of K is adjacent to every node of \n\nA1 ∪ A2.A graph G has a 2-join if its node set can be partitioned into sets V1 and V2 so that for i = 1, 2, Vi contains disjoint nonempty sets Ai and Bi, and the following properties hold: \n\n> 1http://www-leibniz.imag.fr/LesCahiers/2002/Cahier67/ResumCahier67.html\n> 2http://www-leibniz.imag.fr/NEWLEIBNIZ/LesCahiers/Cahier106/ResumCahier106.html 12\n\n• every node of A1 (resp.

Odd holes and odd antiholes are partitionable; many additional partitionable graphs have been constructed by V. Chvtal, R. L. Graham, A. F. Perold, and S. H. Whitesides [81b:05044]. A small transversal in a graph G is a set of α(G) + ω(G) − 1 vertices which meets all cliques of size ω(G) and all stable sets of size α(G). The following problem is an easier variation on a conjecture contributed to the 1993 workshop on perfect graphs 3 by Gurvich and Temkin and on two conjectures proposed by Bacso, Boros, Gurvich, Maffray, and Preissmann [2000h:05116]. \n\nConjecture. Every partitionable graph G with α(G) > 2 and ω(G) > 2 has a small transversal or else contains a hole of length five. One of the milestones in the development of our understanding of perfect graphs was the theorem of Lovasz [46 #8885], asserting that every minimal imperfect graph G has precisely α(G)ω(G) +1 vertices. This theorem implies that every minimal imperfect graph is partitionable and that - as pointed out by Chvatal [86h:05091] - no minimal imperfect graph contains a small transversal. It follows that a proof of the conjecture would provide another proof of the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem. A partitionable graph without a small transversal has been constructed by by Chvatal, Graham, Perold, and Whitesides (op.cit.). Its vertices are 0, 1,..., 16; vertices i and j are adjacent if and only if |i − j| mod 17 is one of 1, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 16.

It is therefore a challenging task to design suitable statistical models and to develop effective reverse engineering algorithms. Network inference and reverse engineering deal basically with an inverse problem that is stimulating a great deal of biomedical research in systems biology: reconstructing gene-gene interactions from measurements obtained under specific experimental conditions. Some of the open problems calling for solutions are now listed. First, the signature of noise is pervasive in genetic networks. For instance, in pertur-bation experiments only a few genes change expression value, while most genes show either noisy or constant patterns. The measurements are usually taken at an initial time and then regularly recorded until the genes reach a steady state. During this time interval, the gene temporal patterns are subject to several kinds of fluctuations, and only some of them are induced by the perturbations, directly or indirectly as a cascade effect. Noise is thus a strong conditioning factor for the gene temporal patterns; the ones that appear smooth are usually of interest compared to those characterized by a random signature. Consequently, sharp time-localized fluctuations lead to discard many patterns and focus just on subsets of genes. An important tool is thresholding, which deals with the separation of signal from noise. It identifies gene groups by selecting the genes that are differentially expressed with regard to 4\n\nnoise-dependent patterns. Furthermore, a gene can be considered outlying if its expression value is significantly different (overor under-expressed) compared to the average expression value computed for all the genes. \n\nMethodological aspects \n\nStatistically speaking, if we are able to isolate a certain number of modes or components which represent in a compact way the systems dynamics underlying the gene network under examination, we might also try to compute statistics based on these modes through the gene sets that have been identified by them. Due to the inherent biological characterization of the estimated components, the thresh-olding step can validate or contradict the hypothesis that the observed expression values of the genes are significantly different from specific test statistics. The idea is that for each available condition (a sample point where a measurement is taken or an experiment is conducted), a genomic profile X is considered a mixture (via a certain matrix A) of unknown biological influences (modes or components) S that may have more or less impact over each specific condition. Then, feature sets are identified by linear combinations of genes which are delivered by each identified and estimated component. More formally, consider at time t an ≤− noise genomic system such as: \n\nX = AS + ≤ (1) The dimensions of the model (for k = 1) are S ∈ Rm, X ∈ Rn, and A ∈ Rn×m, and the gene expression matrix X has rows representing the different genes involved in the regulatory network under exam, while the columns list the measurements at successive conditions. The mixture signals in X represent k−dimensional vectors xi, i = 1,..., n, and the components S represent k−dimensional vectors sj, j = 1,..., m. The latter are mixed up linearly (or non-linearly) through the mixing matrix A. Both S and A are unknown variables and must be estimated from the only available information set X.This gene selection goal implies that a genetic regulatory network is a redundant system because inherently noisy, but also owing to the high-dimensionality and dependence between genes, only in part justified by biological reasons. Equivalently, the underlying system of gene dynamics is sparse; in other words, the gene-gene interaction matrix is only partially active, as some of the supposed links among genes are not supported by significant evidence. Exploiting sparsity when designing statistical inference procedures for gene network analysis as a key goal is to target just subsets of genes when measuring the effects of the experiments. And sparsity refers to dimensionality too, through the possibility of approxi-mating the truly intrinsic dimension of the input space. In turn, this may bring some valuable experimental insight too, by suggesting for instance how to calibrate the perturbations and selecting the genes expected to become targets. In order to explore these two aspects, redundancy and sparsity, clustering has been widely employed by computational biologists, but several limitations have appeared; there-fore, independent and principal component analysis (ICA and PCA, respectively) can also 5\n\nbe proposed (and compared) as examples of flexible approximation tools targeted to dimen-sionality reduction and gene feature selection. \n\nPart 2 \n\nSemi-Parametric Estimation in In Vivo MR Spectroscopy (ongoing joint work with: H. Ratiney, C. Cudalbu, S. Cavassila, D. Graveron-Demilly RMN, CNRS UMR 5012, Univ. Claude Bernard LYON I-CPE, France R. de Beer, D. van Ormondt, Applied Physics, TU Delft, The Netherlands). Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a unique tool for non-invasive in vivo detection and quantitation of metabolites. This makes MRS an indispensable tool for com-bating major diseases. Although modern MRS-methods are increasingly capable of detecting and quantifying metabolites, perturbation by signals from so-called macromolecules and un-wanted metabolites poses problems. Three procedures for alleviating the problem exist: 1) Tuning of the scanner to a metabolite of interest - 'spectral editing' - can clean up the MRS signal significantly. 2) Separate (approximate) measurement of the macromolecule signal and subsequent subtraction from the MRS signal. 3) Semi-parametric estimation of the model parameters of interest from the MRS signal. Our strategy is to process directly in the measurement domain; in MRS, this is the time domain. Alternatively, one can process in the frequency or spectral domain. A main disadvantage of the latter is that it starts with estimation of the spectrum which is not trivial in the case of missing samples or non-Cartesian sampling. \n\nMethodological aspects \n\nIn semi-parametric estimation, the task is to disentangle the parametric and non-parametric parts of a signal. In MRS, the parametric part pertains to the metabolites, the non-parametric part to the macromolecules. In the measurement domain, the metabolite signal persists over time much longer than the macromolecule signal. On the other hand, during the initial period, the latter strongly dominates the former. This property is exploited to bring about the disentanglement. Through simulations, we have successfully investigated: 1) Iteration of the disentanglement procedure. 2) Derivation of Cramer-Rao Bounds (CRB) for the metabolite concentrations, taking the non-parametric macromolecule signal into account. This contributes to experimental design. Furthermore: 1) Our previous contributions did not report on iteration of the disentanglement pro-cedure. Now, we include cases where such iteration clearly helps. 2) We have devised a novel way (in MRS, at least) to estimate CRBs for the parametric part, taking the non-parametric part into account. 3) Only information about the point of time where the non-parametric part 'decays into the noise' is needed. We thus have shown that through semiparametric models it is possible to augment the applicability of MRS to Medicine, while in order to have the best possible impact we need to optimize the accuracy of the estimates for the parameters of interest. 6\n\nIn particular, one seeks an improved reliability of the lower bounds computed on pa-rameters to be estimated with a planned scan, from which it depends in turn an improved reliability of the 'experimental design', or, in other words, a better prediction of feasibility of expensive MRS-scans in the clinic. Then, one would like to address: Awhat is the predicted minimum detectable concentration of each of the 40 or so metabolites of interest with a given scanner measurement protocol?

An important problem in finance is the pricing of American options. Given a reward function g, an American option is a contract that provides to the owner the right to receive (from the seller) the amount g(St) at any time t if exercised before some fixed maturity T.This right can be exercised only once during the period [0, T ]. The price of this option at time t can be expressed as the value function associated to the optimal stopping problem \n\nv(t, S t) = sup \n\n> τ∈T [t,T ]\n\nE[e−r(τ −t)g(St) | St] (1.1.1) where T[t,T ] is the set of all stopping times with values in [ t, T ].

Several methods were considered. \n\nPure Monte Carlo Methods. \n\nPure Monte-Carlo methods are based on a discrete time approximation of the forward-backward equation. Once discretized the forward process can be simulated. These sim-ulations are then used to compute the conditional expectations involved in the backward 5\n\ndiscrete time approximation of ( Y, Z ). Two different methods can be used to compute these conditional expectations. a. The Longstaff-Schwartz (Carriere) approach consists in approximating the conditional expectations by regressions on a given basis of functions. This provides a very powerful, and, easy to implement, algorithm for which convergence has been shown to hold in the case of the American option pricing problem. However, no rate of convergence is given and the choice of the basis is a quite difficult problem. It has been used successfully in up to 20 factors models. See [C], [LS], [CLP]. b. The Malliavin approach consists in re-writing the conditional expectations as the ratio of two unconditional expectations that can be estimated by standard Monte-Carlo methods. Upper bounds for the rate of convergence are proved. Contrary to the previous approach, this algorithm also provides good approximations for the greeks, i.e. the gradient of the associated value function (which is related to the Z, see above). So far, the existing algorithm has a too important complexity, which explains why it has only been tested in small dimensions (up to 5). Some numerical improvements have been proposed, reducing the complexity from \n\nN 2 to N ln( N )d, where N is the number of simulated paths. This work is still in progress, the aim being to develop an algorithm such that the major part of the work is done before a reward function is specified, so as to reduce as much as possible the effective computation time once a particular payoff is defined. See [BET], [BT]. \n\nGrid approximations. \n\nThe Quantization approach consists in approximating the original forward process by a discrete time process which evolves on some finite grid. The grid is constructed so has to provide the best Lp approximation. It was first applied to the pricing of American options in dimension up to 10. The construction of the optimal grid (and the computation of the associated transition probabilities) is very time consuming, but it can be done once for all. Once the grid, which is independent of the payoff function, is constructed, it provides a very quick algorithm for pricing American options on different payoffs, whenever they are written on the same assets. As in the Malliavin and Longstaff-Schwartz approach, the use of a good control variable is required. Extensions to non-linear filtering, optimal control and Asian-type options have also been studied. See [BP1], [BP2], [PP1], [PP2]. \n\nDual formulation. \n\nThis algorithm is based on a dual formulation for problem (1.1.1): \n\nv(0, S 0) = inf E\n\n[\n\nsup \n\n> t≤T\n\n(e−rt g(St) − Mt)\n\n]\n\nwhere the inf is taken over a well suited set of martingales M. This algorithm consists in providing a upper bound for v by choosing some martingale M ∗ and computing \n\nE\n\n[\n\nsup \n\n> t≤T\n\n(e−rt g(St) − M ∗ \n\n> t\n\n)\n\n]\n\nIn cases where a good martingale ˆM can be found, typically when \n\nE[e−r(T −t)g(ST )|St] =: ˆMt6\n\nis known as a function of S, this provides a quite sharp upper bound for the price of the American option. Numerical experiments, up to dimension 15, have been performed. See [R]. \n\nCubature on Wiener spaces. \n\nCubature formula on Wiener spaces have been developed in [VL] in order to construct probability measures with finite support which approximate the Wiener measure in the sense that the expectation of iterated Stratonovich integrals under the approximating measure and the Wiener measure are close. In a sense, this approach is similar to that of the quantization since it allows to reduce to a finite dimensional setting. So far, it has been used to develop high order numerical schemes for high dimensional SDE's and semi-elliptic PDE's. \n\nA.2.b The case where b or a depends on Y and Z. In that case, it is no more possible to approximate (or simulate) the forward process X since its dynamic depends on the solu-tion. In such situations, two different solutions have been proposed: a - Construct an a priori grid for X, possibly based on some a priori on the dynamics of Y\n\nand Z.b - Given an a priori solution Y0 and Z0, approximate (or simulate) the corresponding forward process X0 and use the above methodologies to construct the corresponding solution ( Y1, Z 1)of the BSDE. Then, use this solution ( Y1, Z 1) to approximate (or simulate) the corresponding forward process X1 and go on iterating this procedure. Under some mild assumptions, this algorithm should be convergent. However, it seems to be quite heavy to implement. Solution a. has already been applied in the quantization approach but, so far, does not provide very good results. See [PP1]. \n\nA.3 A test problem \n\nA test problem has been proposed to compare the performance of the different methods. It corresponds to the computation of a d dimensional at-the-money American min-put option in the Black-Scholes model. The assets are uncorrelated, have the same volatility and the same initial value: \n\nSit = 100 exp(( r − σ2/2) t − σW it ) for each i = 1,..., d \n\nwhere W = ( W 1,..., W d) is a standard Brownian motion. The payoff function is \n\ng(x) = [100 − min {x1,..., x d}]+.\n\nNumerical tests will be performed for different dimensions with σ = 20% and r = 5%. Results will be collected and compared by J. Cvitanic. \n\nA.4 Reduction of the dimension \n\nDifferent ways of reducing the dimension were proposed. aThe first consists in using Principal Component Analysis in order to \"aggregate\" a large number of random variables in a small number of principal directions. Also it is used in 7\n\npractice, it does not really solve the problem of the dimension, but only surrounds it, replac-ing the initial model by a more tractable, but different, one. bInstead of relying on PCA, dimension could be reduced by considering models where a few number of economic fundamentals could explain the behavior of many financial assets. cIn some cases, it is possible to reduce the dimension without changing the initial model. This is the case in P. Carr's Canadization approach for the computation of American options, where the randomization of the maturity allows to reduce to a time homogeneous problem. Extensions to Markovian control problems have been discussed. See [Carr] and [BKT]. \n\nA.5 References \n\n[BP1] Bally V. and G.

Several methods were considered.\n\nPure Monte Carlo Methods.\n\nPure Monte-Carlo methods are based on a discrete time approximation of the forward-backward equation. Once discretized the forward process can be simulated. These sim-ulations are then used to compute the conditional expectations involved in the backward 5\n\ndiscrete time approximation of ( Y, Z ). Two different methods can be used to compute these conditional expectations. a. The Longstaff-Schwartz (Carriere) approach consists in approximating the conditional expectations by regressions on a given basis of functions. This provides a very powerful, and, easy to implement, algorithm for which convergence has been shown to hold in the case of the American option pricing problem. However, no rate of convergence is given and the choice of the basis is a quite difficult problem. It has been used successfully in up to 20 factors models. See [C], [LS], [CLP]. b. The Malliavin approach consists in re-writing the conditional expectations as the ratio of two unconditional expectations that can be estimated by standard Monte-Carlo methods. Upper bounds for the rate of convergence are proved. Contrary to the previous approach, this algorithm also provides good approximations for the greeks, i.e. the gradient of the associated value function (which is related to the Z, see above). So far, the existing algorithm has a too important complexity, which explains why it has only been tested in small dimensions (up to 5). Some numerical improvements have been proposed, reducing the complexity from\n\nN 2 to N ln( N )d, where N is the number of simulated paths. This work is still in progress, the aim being to develop an algorithm such that the major part of the work is done before a reward function is specified, so as to reduce as much as possible the effective computation time once a particular payoff is defined. See [BET], [BT].\n\nGrid approximations.\n\nThe Quantization approach consists in approximating the original forward process by a discrete time process which evolves on some finite grid. The grid is constructed so has to provide the best Lp approximation. It was first applied to the pricing of American options in dimension up to 10. The construction of the optimal grid (and the computation of the associated transition probabilities) is very time consuming, but it can be done once for all. Once the grid, which is independent of the payoff function, is constructed, it provides a very quick algorithm for pricing American options on different payoffs, whenever they are written on the same assets. As in the Malliavin and Longstaff-Schwartz approach, the use of a good control variable is required. Extensions to non-linear filtering, optimal control and Asian-type options have also been studied. See [BP1], [BP2], [PP1], [PP2].\n\nDual formulation.\n\nThis algorithm is based on a dual formulation for problem (1.1.1):\n\nv(0, S 0) = inf E\n\n[\n\nsup\n\n> t≤T\n\n(e−rt g(St) − Mt)\n\n]\n\nwhere the inf is taken over a well suited set of martingales M. This algorithm consists in providing a upper bound for v by choosing some martingale M ∗ and computing\n\nE\n\n[\n\nsup\n\n> t≤T\n\n(e−rt g(St) − M ∗\n\n> t\n\n)\n\n]\n\nIn cases where a good martingale ˆM can be found, typically when\n\nE[e−r(T −t)g(ST )|St] =: ˆMt6\n\nis known as a function of S, this provides a quite sharp upper bound for the price of the American option. Numerical experiments, up to dimension 15, have been performed. See [R].\n\nCubature on Wiener spaces.\n\nCubature formula on Wiener spaces have been developed in [VL] in order to construct probability measures with finite support which approximate the Wiener measure in the sense that the expectation of iterated Stratonovich integrals under the approximating measure and the Wiener measure are close. In a sense, this approach is similar to that of the quantization since it allows to reduce to a finite dimensional setting. So far, it has been used to develop high order numerical schemes for high dimensional SDE's and semi-elliptic PDE's.\n\nA.2.b The case where b or a depends on Y and Z. In that case, it is no more possible to approximate (or simulate) the forward process X since its dynamic depends on the solu-tion. In such situations, two different solutions have been proposed: a - Construct an a priori grid for X, possibly based on some a priori on the dynamics of Y\n\nand Z.b - Given an a priori solution Y0 and Z0, approximate (or simulate) the corresponding forward process X0 and use the above methodologies to construct the corresponding solution ( Y1, Z 1)of the BSDE. Then, use this solution ( Y1, Z 1) to approximate (or simulate) the corresponding forward process X1 and go on iterating this procedure. Under some mild assumptions, this algorithm should be convergent. However, it seems to be quite heavy to implement. Solution a. has already been applied in the quantization approach but, so far, does not provide very good results. See [PP1].\n\nA.3 A test problem\n\nA test problem has been proposed to compare the performance of the different methods. It corresponds to the computation of a d dimensional at-the-money American min-put option in the Black-Scholes model. The assets are uncorrelated, have the same volatility and the same initial value:\n\nSit = 100 exp(( r − σ2/2) t − σW it ) for each i = 1,..., d\n\nwhere W = ( W 1,..., W d) is a standard Brownian motion. The payoff function is\n\ng(x) = [100 − min {x1,..., x d}]+.\n\nNumerical tests will be performed for different dimensions with σ = 20% and r = 5%. Results will be collected and compared by J. Cvitanic.\n\nA.4 Reduction of the dimension\n\nDifferent ways of reducing the dimension were proposed. aThe first consists in using Principal Component Analysis in order to \"aggregate\" a large number of random variables in a small number of principal directions.

This is the case in P. Carr's Canadization approach for the computation of American options, where the randomization of the maturity allows to reduce to a time homogeneous problem. Extensions to Markovian control problems have been discussed. See [Carr] and [BKT].\n\nA.5 References\n\n[BP1] Bally V. and G.

Several examples were considered.\n\nOptimal Stopping and free boundary problems.\n\nLet's consider the following financial market containing a non-risky asset S0\n\n> t\n\n= ert, and\n\nd risky assets (e.g. stocks) with prices modeled by a d-dimensional diffusion process S with dynamics\n\ndS t = rS tdt + diag( St)σ(t, S t)dW t,\n\nwhere W is a standard Brownian motion. An important problem in finance is the pricing of American options. Given a reward function g, an American option is a contract that provides to the owner the right to receive (from the seller) the amount g(St) at any time t if exercised before some fixed maturity T.This right can be exercised only once during the period [0, T ]. The price of this option at time t can be expressed as the value function associated to the optimal stopping problem\n\nv(t, S t) = sup\n\n> τ∈T [t,T ]\n\nE[e−r(τ −t)g(St) | St] (1.1.1) where T[t,T ] is the set of all stopping times with values in [ t, T ]. The associated value function v is the solution of the free boundary problem min {rv − vt − L v; v − g} = 0 on [0, T ) × [0, ∞)d\n\nv(T,. ) = g(.) on [0, ∞)d\n\nwhere L is the generator of the diffusion S.\n\nOptimal Investment and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations.\n\nAn other important issue in finance is that of optimal investment. Denoting by νt the number of stocks held by a given financial agent at time t, the associated wealth-process X ν\n\nhas dynamics given by\n\ndX t = νtdS t + ( Xt − ν∗\n\n> t\n\nSt)dS 0\n\n> t\n\nwhere ∗ stands for transposition, and S may have a general dynamics of the form\n\ndS t = μ(t, S t, ν t)dt + σ(t, S t, ν t)dW t,\n\nin order to take into account a possible influence of the agent's financial strategy on the dynamics of the risky assets. Given a concave (utility) function V, the agent tries to maximize the expected utility of terminal wealth max E[V (XνT )] (1.1.2) over a set of admissible financial strategies ( νt) with values in some subset U of Rd. The associated value function v is the solution of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation\n\n−vt − sup\n\n> ν∈U\n\nLν v = 0 on [0, T ) × [0, ∞)d × Rv(T, s, x ) = V (x) for ( s, x ) ∈ [0, ∞)d × R\n\nwhere Lν is the generator of the diffusion ( S, X ν ). 4\n\nA.1.b Extensions and BSDE's.

The questions above are closely related to the boundary rigidity problem, which we now recall. Given a compact manifold M with smooth boundary N, a Riemann-ian metric g on M induces a nonnegative real valued function d on N × N where\n\nd(p, q ) is the distance in ( M, g ) between p and q.

In the Finsler setting, one may ask for example to describe all Finsler met-rics on CP (n) such that their geodesics are geodesics of the standard (Fubini-Studi) metric on CP (n). In the Lorenzian setting, one can ask to construct all manifolds such that all light-like geodesics are closed, see e.g. [Mou-Suh2013, Suhr2013b]. 9.

Most of the questions we asked about the Riemannian and Finsler metric can be modified such that they are also interesting in the semi-Riemannian metrics (i.e. of arbitrary signature) and in particular when the signa-ture is Lorentzian. It appears though that the answers in the Lorentzian case are sometimes very different from those in the Riemannian case. Many methods that were effectively used in the Riemannian case, for example the variational methods, do not work in the case of general signature. Let us consider as an example the question analogous to the one we considered in Section 2: how many geometrically different closed geodesics must there be for a Lorenzian metric on a closed manifold. First let us note that there are two possible natural notions of closed geodesic in the Lorentzian setting: one may define a closed geodesic as an embedding γ:\n\nS1 → M such that ∇ ˙γ ˙γ = 0, or as a curve γ: S1 → M that can be locally reparameterized in such a way that it satisfies the equation ∇ ˙γ ˙γ = 0. In the Riemannian case, these definitions are essentially equivalent, since this reparameterization can always be made \"global\". If the signature is indefinite, it is easy to construct examples of an embedding γ: S1 → M such that locally γ\n\ncan be reparameterized so that it becomes an affinely-parameterized geodesic, but globally such reparameterisation is impossible: the velocity vector of the geodesic after returning to the same point is proportional but not equal to the initial velocity vector. Of course, this is possible only if the velocity vector is light-like. We will follow most publications and define a closed geodesic as an embedding \n\nγ: S1 → M such that ∇ ˙γ ˙γ = 0. To the best of our knowledge, the existence of a closed geodesic on a Lorentzian manifold is a quite complicated problem and nothing is known in dimensions ≥ 3. In dimension 2, a closed orientable manifold with a metric of signature (+, −) is homeomorphic to the torus. By [Suhr2013a], every Lorentzian 2-dimensional torus has at least two simple closed geodesics one of which is definite, i.e. timelike or spacelike. Moreover, explicit examples show the optimality of this claim. We therefore ask the following", "clean_statement": "Question 8.9.1. Let M be a closed manifold not covered by a sphere.

How to reconstruct a metric from its geodesics. \n\nA (Riemannian or semi-Riemannian) metric allows one to construct geodesics. Every nonzero vector at every point is tangent to a unique curve from the family of geodesics. This section is dedicated to open problems related to the following questions: given a family of curves with this property, are they the geodesics for a metric; and, if there is such a metric, is it unique and how can it be reconstructed? These questions can also be posed for Finsler metrics, but in that context most natural problems are either solved or seem to be out of reach. Let us introduce some notation. By a path structure we will understand (follow-ing [Thomas1925]) a family of curves γα(t) such that for any point x and for any vector v ∈ TxM, v 6 = 0, there exists a unique curve γ from this family such that the for a certain t we have γ(t) = x and ˙ γ(t) ∈ span( v). We think that the curves are smooth and smoothly depend on the parameters α = ( α1,..., α 2n−2). We may insist that the parametrization of the curves stays fixed, or we may be willing to reparametrize them. The first step is to find an affine connection for which the curves are the geodesics. The problem reduces to a system of linear equations (whether one can actually write down and solve them depends on the form in which the curves are given.) We outline the main ideas. First consider the case in which the parametrization of the curves is fixed. If all the curves γ from this path structure are affinely parameterised geodesics of a connection ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk \n\n), then at any point p ∈ M the Christoffel symbols satisfy the system of equations (12.1) ¨γ(t)i + Γ ijk ˙γ(t)j ˙γ(t)k = 0 for all curves γ from the path structure such that γ(t) = p. This is a system of \n\nn linear equations in the n2(n+1) \n\n> 2\n\nunknowns Γ( p)ijk. Consequently n(n+1) \n\n> 2\n\ncurves \n\nγα from the path structure give us a system of n2 (n+1) \n\n> 2\n\nlinear equations in n2 (n+1) \n\n> 2\n\nunknowns Γ( p)ijk. It is an easy exercise to see that if the velocity vectors of the curves at the point p are in general position, then this system is uniquely solvable; by solving it we obtain the Christoffel symbols at this point. Clearly, these Christoffel OPEN PROBLEMS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT GEODESICS 27 \n\nsymbols should satisfy the equation (12.1) for all curves γ from the path structure (so generic path structures do not come from a connection). It depends on how the curves γ are given whether it is possibly to check this. For example, if all the curves are given by explicit formulas that depend algebraically on t and on α, then this is an algorithmically doable but computationally complicated task. Note that the above considerations show that reconstruction of a symmetric affine connection from affinely parameterized geodesics is unique. Let us now deal with the reconstruction of a connection from unparameterized curves. Our goal is to find a connection ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk \n\n)\n\nfor which each curve γα from our path structure, after an appropriate reparameterization, is a geodesic. In this case, a similar idea works. The analog of (12.1) is (12.2) ¨γ(t)i + Γ ijk ˙γ(t)j ˙γ(t)k = c ˙γi,\n\nwhere the unknowns are Γ( p)ijk and c (though we are interested only in Γ( p)ijk ). For one curve γ containing p ∈ M we have therefore n equations in n2(n+1) \n\n> 2\n\n+ 1 unknowns Γ( p)ijk and c. For two curves γ1, γ 2 we obtain then 2 n equations in \n\n> n2(n+1)\n> 2\n\n+ 2 unknowns Γ( p)ijk, c 1, c 2 and so on. We see that for k > n2 (n+1) \n\n> 2( n−1)\n\ncurves \n\nγα from the path structure (passing through the point p) we have more equations than unknowns; by solving this system (if it is solvable) we obtain a connection. See [Matveev2012a, §2.1] for more details. Note that (as was already known to [Levi-Civita1896] and [Weyl1921]) the so-lution Γ ijk of (12.2), if it exists, is not unique: two connections ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk \n\n)\n\nand ¯∇ =\n\n(¯Γijk \n\n)\n\nhave the same unparameterized geodesics, if and only if there exists a (0, 1)-tensorfield φi such that (12.3) ¯Γijk = Γ ijk + δikφj + δij φk.\n\nThus, the freedom in reconstructing of a connection is an arbitrary choice of a 1-form φi.Connections ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk \n\n)\n\nand ¯∇ =\n\n(¯Γijk \n\n)\n\nrelated by (12.3) are called projectively equivalent; projective equivalence of two connections means that they have the same geodesics considered as unparameterized curves. Let us now touch on the question of whether/how one can reconstruct a met-ric (Riemannian or of arbitrary signature) from a path structure. As we explained above, it is relatively easy to reconstruct an affine connection (resp. a class of projec-tively equivalent affine connections) from affinely (resp. arbitrary) parameterized geodesics, so the actual question is how to reconstruct a metric from its affine connection (resp. a class of projectively equivalent affine connections), when it is possible, and what is the freedom. Let us first discuss how/whether it is possible to reconstruct a metric parallel with respect to a given symmetric affine connection. This question is well-studied; see for example the answers of Bryant and Thurston in [Bry-Thu2011]. A theoretical answer is as follows: the affine connection deter-mines the holonomy group. The existence of a metric with a given affine connection is equivalent to the existence of a nondegenerate bilinear form preserved by the ho-lonomy group, see e.g. [Schmidt1973]. A practical test for the existence of the metric is as follows: the connection allows to construct the curvature tensor Rijkℓ,and if the connection is the Levi-Civita connection of a metric, then this metric 28 KEITH BURNS AND VLADIMIR S. MATVEEV \n\nsatisfies the following equations: (12.4) Rsjkℓ gsi = −Rsikℓ gsj, R sjkℓ gsi = Rsℓij gsk.\n\nThese equations are essentially the algebraic symmetries of the Riemann curvature tensor: the first one corresponds to Rijkm = −Rjikm, and the second corresponds to Rijkm = Rkmij. One should view these equations as linear equations in the unknowns gij; the number of equations is bigger than the number of unknowns so it is expected that the system has no nonzero or nondegenerate solution (and in this case there exists no metric compatible with this connection). In many cases the solution is unique (up to multiplication by a conformal coefficient) and in this case we already have the conformal class of the metrics. Now, having the conformal class of the metric we have the conformal class of the volume form and it is easy to reconstruct the metric using the condition that the volume form is parallel, which immediately reduces to the condition that a certain 1-form is closed; see also [Mat-Trau2014]. Note that if the equations (12.4) do not give enough information one could consider their \"derivatives\" (12.5) Rsjkℓ,m gsi = −Rsikℓ,m gsj, R sjkℓ,m gsi = Rsℓij,m gsk \n\nwhich gives us again a huge system of equations in the same unknowns gij. If necessary one then considers higher order derivatives until there is enough infor-mation. The general theory says that in the analytic category the existence of a nondegenerate solution of the resulting system of equations implies the existence of a metric whose Levi-Civita connection is the given one. In the nonanalytic setting, however, there exist C∞ counterexamples. Let us now discuss how unique is the reconstruction of a metric from affinely parameterized geodesics. Locally, the answer is known: for Riemannian metrics, if was understood already by Cartan and Eisenhart [Eisenhart1923]; for metrics of arbitrary signature, the answer is in the recent papers [Boubel2012, Boubel2014]. Both results are an explicit local description of all metrics having the same Levi-Civita connection. In the Riemannian case, a global analog of the result of Cartan is due to [DeRham1952]. As the only interesting unsolved problem in this topic we suggest", "clean_statement": "Question 11.2.2. Are the tangent vectors to closed geodesics dense in the tangent bundle for a generic Riemannian metric on a closed manifold?\n\nIt is known that this is the case for metrics with nonuniformly hyperbolic geodesic flows. 12.

The analog of (12.1) is (12.2) ¨γ(t)i + Γ ijk ˙γ(t)j ˙γ(t)k = c ˙γi,\n\nwhere the unknowns are Γ( p)ijk and c (though we are interested only in Γ( p)ijk ). For one curve γ containing p ∈ M we have therefore n equations in n2(n+1)\n\n> 2\n\n+ 1 unknowns Γ( p)ijk and c. For two curves γ1, γ 2 we obtain then 2 n equations in\n\n> n2(n+1)\n> 2\n\n+ 2 unknowns Γ( p)ijk, c 1, c 2 and so on. We see that for k > n2 (n+1)\n\n> 2( n−1)\n\ncurves\n\nγα from the path structure (passing through the point p) we have more equations than unknowns; by solving this system (if it is solvable) we obtain a connection. See [Matveev2012a, §2.1] for more details. Note that (as was already known to [Levi-Civita1896] and [Weyl1921]) the so-lution Γ ijk of (12.2), if it exists, is not unique: two connections ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk\n\n)\n\nand ¯∇ =\n\n(¯Γijk\n\n)\n\nhave the same unparameterized geodesics, if and only if there exists a (0, 1)-tensorfield φi such that (12.3) ¯Γijk = Γ ijk + δikφj + δij φk.\n\nThus, the freedom in reconstructing of a connection is an arbitrary choice of a 1-form φi.Connections ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk\n\n)\n\nand ¯∇ =\n\n(¯Γijk\n\n)\n\nrelated by (12.3) are called projectively equivalent; projective equivalence of two connections means that they have the same geodesics considered as unparameterized curves. Let us now touch on the question of whether/how one can reconstruct a met-ric (Riemannian or of arbitrary signature) from a path structure. As we explained above, it is relatively easy to reconstruct an affine connection (resp. a class of projec-tively equivalent affine connections) from affinely (resp. arbitrary) parameterized geodesics, so the actual question is how to reconstruct a metric from its affine connection (resp. a class of projectively equivalent affine connections), when it is possible, and what is the freedom. Let us first discuss how/whether it is possible to reconstruct a metric parallel with respect to a given symmetric affine connection. This question is well-studied; see for example the answers of Bryant and Thurston in [Bry-Thu2011]. A theoretical answer is as follows: the affine connection deter-mines the holonomy group. The existence of a metric with a given affine connection is equivalent to the existence of a nondegenerate bilinear form preserved by the ho-lonomy group, see e.g. [Schmidt1973]. A practical test for the existence of the metric is as follows: the connection allows to construct the curvature tensor Rijkℓ,and if the connection is the Levi-Civita connection of a metric, then this metric 28 KEITH BURNS AND VLADIMIR S. MATVEEV\n\nsatisfies the following equations: (12.4) Rsjkℓ gsi = −Rsikℓ gsj, R sjkℓ gsi = Rsℓij gsk.\n\nThese equations are essentially the algebraic symmetries of the Riemann curvature tensor: the first one corresponds to Rijkm = −Rjikm, and the second corresponds to Rijkm = Rkmij. One should view these equations as linear equations in the unknowns gij; the number of equations is bigger than the number of unknowns so it is expected that the system has no nonzero or nondegenerate solution (and in this case there exists no metric compatible with this connection). In many cases the solution is unique (up to multiplication by a conformal coefficient) and in this case we already have the conformal class of the metrics. Now, having the conformal class of the metric we have the conformal class of the volume form and it is easy to reconstruct the metric using the condition that the volume form is parallel, which immediately reduces to the condition that a certain 1-form is closed; see also [Mat-Trau2014]. Note that if the equations (12.4) do not give enough information one could consider their \"derivatives\" (12.5) Rsjkℓ,m gsi = −Rsikℓ,m gsj, R sjkℓ,m gsi = Rsℓij,m gsk\n\nwhich gives us again a huge system of equations in the same unknowns gij. If necessary one then considers higher order derivatives until there is enough infor-mation. The general theory says that in the analytic category the existence of a nondegenerate solution of the resulting system of equations implies the existence of a metric whose Levi-Civita connection is the given one. In the nonanalytic setting, however, there exist C∞ counterexamples. Let us now discuss how unique is the reconstruction of a metric from affinely parameterized geodesics. Locally, the answer is known: for Riemannian metrics, if was understood already by Cartan and Eisenhart [Eisenhart1923]; for metrics of arbitrary signature, the answer is in the recent papers [Boubel2012, Boubel2014]. Both results are an explicit local description of all metrics having the same Levi-Civita connection. In the Riemannian case, a global analog of the result of Cartan is due to [DeRham1952]. As the only interesting unsolved problem in this topic we suggest", "public_statement": "Question 11.2.2. Are the tangent vectors to closed geodesics dense in the tangent bundle for a generic Riemannian metric on a closed manifold?\n\nIt is known that this is the case for metrics with nonuniformly hyperbolic geodesic flows. 12. How to reconstruct a metric from its geodesics.\n\nA (Riemannian or semi-Riemannian) metric allows one to construct geodesics. Every nonzero vector at every point is tangent to a unique curve from the family of geodesics. This section is dedicated to open problems related to the following questions: given a family of curves with this property, are they the geodesics for a metric; and, if there is such a metric, is it unique and how can it be reconstructed? These questions can also be posed for Finsler metrics, but in that context most natural problems are either solved or seem to be out of reach. Let us introduce some notation. By a path structure we will understand (follow-ing [Thomas1925]) a family of curves γα(t) such that for any point x and for any vector v ∈ TxM, v 6 = 0, there exists a unique curve γ from this family such that the for a certain t we have γ(t) = x and ˙ γ(t) ∈ span( v). We think that the curves are smooth and smoothly depend on the parameters α = ( α1,..., α 2n−2). We may insist that the parametrization of the curves stays fixed, or we may be willing to reparametrize them. The first step is to find an affine connection for which the curves are the geodesics. The problem reduces to a system of linear equations (whether one can actually write down and solve them depends on the form in which the curves are given.) We outline the main ideas. First consider the case in which the parametrization of the curves is fixed. If all the curves γ from this path structure are affinely parameterised geodesics of a connection ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk\n\n), then at any point p ∈ M the Christoffel symbols satisfy the system of equations (12.1) ¨γ(t)i + Γ ijk ˙γ(t)j ˙γ(t)k = 0 for all curves γ from the path structure such that γ(t) = p. This is a system of\n\nn linear equations in the n2(n+1)\n\n> 2\n\nunknowns Γ( p)ijk. Consequently n(n+1)\n\n> 2\n\ncurves\n\nγα from the path structure give us a system of n2 (n+1)\n\n> 2\n\nlinear equations in n2 (n+1)\n\n> 2\n\nunknowns Γ( p)ijk. It is an easy exercise to see that if the velocity vectors of the curves at the point p are in general position, then this system is uniquely solvable; by solving it we obtain the Christoffel symbols at this point. Clearly, these Christoffel OPEN PROBLEMS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT GEODESICS 27\n\nsymbols should satisfy the equation (12.1) for all curves γ from the path structure (so generic path structures do not come from a connection). It depends on how the curves γ are given whether it is possibly to check this. For example, if all the curves are given by explicit formulas that depend algebraically on t and on α, then this is an algorithmically doable but computationally complicated task. Note that the above considerations show that reconstruction of a symmetric affine connection from affinely parameterized geodesics is unique. Let us now deal with the reconstruction of a connection from unparameterized curves. Our goal is to find a connection ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk\n\n)\n\nfor which each curve γα from our path structure, after an appropriate reparameterization, is a geodesic. In this case, a similar idea works. The analog of (12.1) is (12.2) ¨γ(t)i + Γ ijk ˙γ(t)j ˙γ(t)k = c ˙γi,\n\nwhere the unknowns are Γ( p)ijk and c (though we are interested only in Γ( p)ijk ). For one curve γ containing p ∈ M we have therefore n equations in n2(n+1)\n\n> 2\n\n+ 1 unknowns Γ( p)ijk and c. For two curves γ1, γ 2 we obtain then 2 n equations in\n\n> n2(n+1)\n> 2\n\n+ 2 unknowns Γ( p)ijk, c 1, c 2 and so on. We see that for k > n2 (n+1)\n\n> 2( n−1)\n\ncurves\n\nγα from the path structure (passing through the point p) we have more equations than unknowns; by solving this system (if it is solvable) we obtain a connection. See [Matveev2012a, §2.1] for more details. Note that (as was already known to [Levi-Civita1896] and [Weyl1921]) the so-lution Γ ijk of (12.2), if it exists, is not unique: two connections ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk\n\n)\n\nand ¯∇ =\n\n(¯Γijk\n\n)\n\nhave the same unparameterized geodesics, if and only if there exists a (0, 1)-tensorfield φi such that (12.3) ¯Γijk = Γ ijk + δikφj + δij φk.\n\nThus, the freedom in reconstructing of a connection is an arbitrary choice of a 1-form φi.Connections ∇ =\n\n(\n\nΓijk\n\n)\n\nand ¯∇ =\n\n(¯Γijk\n\n)\n\nrelated by (12.3) are called projectively equivalent; projective equivalence of two connections means that they have the same geodesics considered as unparameterized curves.

We define a tropical line bundle to be an element of H1(B, Aff( B, R)). Representing an element by a ˇCech 1-cocycle (αij ) for an open cover {Ui}, a section of this tropical line bundle is a collection of tropical functions si on Ui such that si − sj = αij.

The same question applies. Questions: What is the notion of an ample line bundle? Is it interesting to study embeddings into tropical projective space? Exercise: Consider a tropical plane cubic, say \n\n−6x3 − 4x2y − 3xy 2 − 6y3 − 4y2z − 3yz 2 − 0xyz − 3x2z − 1xz 2 − 3z3.\n\nDraw a picture of this curve. Cut off the infinite rays, to get a polygon. The affine length of each edge is defined as follows. For the vertices of an edge, v and w, write v − w = ld, where \n\nd is a primitive integral vector and l is a real number. Then the affine length is |l|. Check that the sum of the affine lengths of the edges is 13. Show this polygon can be obtained as an embedding R/13 Z → T P2, using three tropical sections of a tropical line bundle of degree \n\nfive.Question: This seems a bit strange, doesn't it? Observation: If one uses a line bundle of degree 3 to try to map to T P2, certain line segments in the circle will be contracted! Does this mean that the line bundle of degree 3 isn't very ample? Given such a B, we can form two manifolds of twice the dimension, both torus bundles over B0. Let Λ ⊆ T B0 be a family of lattices in the tangent bundle generated locally by \n\n∂/∂y 1,..., ∂/∂y n where y1,..., y n are local affine coordinates on B0. Because of the GL n(Z)restriction on transition functions, this is well-defined. Let X(B0) = TB0 /Λ. This carries a complex structure which interchanges horizontal and vertical directions in the tangent bundle. Similarly, let ˇΛ ⊆ T ∗ \n\n> B0\n\nbe the dual family of lattices generated by dy 1,..., dy n. Then we set ˇX(B0) = T ∗ \n\n> B0\n\n/ˇΛ. This is canonically a symplectic manifold. One particularly important question relevant for the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture is the following. We would like to find classical sections of tropical line bundles (i.e. smooth functions ( Ui, s i) with si − sj = αij ) satisfying the Monge-Amp` ere equation det( ∂2si/∂y j ∂y k) = constant. \n\nIf one does this, then pulling back the functions si to X(B0) will give K¨ ahler potentials for Ricci-flat metrics. Question (Gross, Siebert, Zharkov): Is there a tropical Monge-Amp` ere equation? Fix-ing the line bundle L, can one find a sequence of sections si ∈ Γ( B, Ln) (hopefully satisfying this tropical form) such that ℏsn converges to a classical solution of the equation.

Representing an element by a ˇCech 1-cocycle (αij ) for an open cover {Ui}, a section of this tropical line bundle is a collection of tropical functions si on Ui such that si − sj = αij. (Here this is ordinary subtraction). We saw how sections of tropical line bundles over tori are tropical theta functions. Question (Eisenbud, see also the question on Riemann-Roch 33 ): What is tropical Riemann-Roch?\n\n> 33 page 4, What does the Riemann-Roch theorem say in the tropical world? 6\n\nThe above discussion should go over to tropical varieties in general, if we have the right definitions. The same question applies. Questions: What is the notion of an ample line bundle? Is it interesting to study embeddings into tropical projective space? Exercise: Consider a tropical plane cubic, say\n\n−6x3 − 4x2y − 3xy 2 − 6y3 − 4y2z − 3yz 2 − 0xyz − 3x2z − 1xz 2 − 3z3.\n\nDraw a picture of this curve. Cut off the infinite rays, to get a polygon. The affine length of each edge is defined as follows. For the vertices of an edge, v and w, write v − w = ld, where\n\nd is a primitive integral vector and l is a real number. Then the affine length is |l|. Check that the sum of the affine lengths of the edges is 13. Show this polygon can be obtained as an embedding R/13 Z → T P2, using three tropical sections of a tropical line bundle of degree\n\nfive.Question: This seems a bit strange, doesn't it? Observation: If one uses a line bundle of degree 3 to try to map to T P2, certain line segments in the circle will be contracted! Does this mean that the line bundle of degree 3 isn't very ample? Given such a B, we can form two manifolds of twice the dimension, both torus bundles over B0. Let Λ ⊆ T B0 be a family of lattices in the tangent bundle generated locally by\n\n∂/∂y 1,..., ∂/∂y n where y1,..., y n are local affine coordinates on B0. Because of the GL n(Z)restriction on transition functions, this is well-defined. Let X(B0) = TB0 /Λ. This carries a complex structure which interchanges horizontal and vertical directions in the tangent bundle. Similarly, let ˇΛ ⊆ T ∗\n\n> B0\n\nbe the dual family of lattices generated by dy 1,..., dy n. Then we set ˇX(B0) = T ∗\n\n> B0\n\n/ˇΛ. This is canonically a symplectic manifold. One particularly important question relevant for the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture is the following. We would like to find classical sections of tropical line bundles (i.e. smooth functions ( Ui, s i) with si − sj = αij ) satisfying the Monge-Amp` ere equation det( ∂2si/∂y j ∂y k) = constant.\n\nIf one does this, then pulling back the functions si to X(B0) will give K¨ ahler potentials for Ricci-flat metrics. Question (Gross, Siebert, Zharkov): Is there a tropical Monge-Amp` ere equation? Fix-ing the line bundle L, can one find a sequence of sections si ∈ Γ( B, Ln) (hopefully satisfying this tropical form) such that ℏsn converges to a classical solution of the equation. (Here\n\nℏ = 1 /n ). Write a computer program to produce numerical solutions in this way, and draw a picture of a genuine Ricci-flat metric!", "evidence": "The PDF extraction has page numbers $6$ and $7$ inside the prose; they are not mathematical data.

A natural question is what closed surfaces admit such a singular affine structure, and how many singular points there can be on such a surface. In fact, the possibilities are: a torus or Klein bottle with no singular points, a sphere with 24 singular points, or an RP 2\n\nwith 12 singular points. Each one can be realized as the base of a (singular) Lagrangian fibration. The singular fibers in each are diffeomorphic to the singular fibers in a genus one Lefschetz fibration, i.e. they are spheres with one positive self-intersection.

The natural question is how to make sense of compact tropical manifolds, not necessarily Calabi-Yau. There has to be a procedure of deleting pseudo-pods and leaving as much of affine structure as possible. My guess is that this will require a choice of polarization (tropical K¨ ahler class). But the affine structure should not depend on this choice and has to be of purely algebro-geometric nature. Question: How to modify naturally the valuation map for compact tropical varieties? \n\nTropical Monge-Amp` ere equation. Let me also add to Gross's question on Monge-Amp` ere equation. The beauty and importance of the real (and complex) MA equation is 14 \n\nthat given a boundary conditions it has a unique solution. This is crucial in proving various Calabi conjectures. In the differential-geometric picture a metric is determined locally in an affine chart \n\nU ⊂ B0 by the graph of the differential of a potential dK ⊂ Rn × (Rn)∗ (we can consistently identify tangent spaces at different points in U with Rn and cotangent spaces - with ( Rn)∗). In the tropical world the C∞ graphs should be replaced by piece-wise linear ones, which will define distribution-like metrics (or measures) on B. The Monge-Amp` ere condition - the equality of euclidean measures on Rn and ( Rn)∗ provided by the graph dK - has to be understood in this distributional sense as well. Question: (Tropical Calabi conjecture) Is there a way to define a tropical Monge-Amp` ere operator whose solution gives a (unique?) Monge-Amp` ere measure on B in a given polarization class in H1(B, Aff( B, R))? The uniqueness seems to be false in an obvious assumption that the bendings of the potentials are regulated by the integral lattice. On a torus this corresponds to several possible Voronoi cell decompositions in dimension higher than one. \n\nCurve counting. The symplectic area of a straight line interval is easily seen to be proportional to the scalar product of the primitive vector along the interval and the distance vector between the end points in the dual structure. The behavior of a curve near the singular locus is very restrictive. Namely, it can end on a singular point only coming from a unique (eigen) direction. Question: Given this can we perform a tropical Gromov-Witten calculation on a Calabi-Yau? As was shown by Mikhalkin the tropical invariants coincide with the genuine ones for curves in surfaces.

With the observations above we have the following properties: A. Q: C0 → E n is not conformally invariant but ˆQ = Q + Pnω, where Pn is a formally self-adjoint operator from 0-forms to n-forms. Pn has the form dM d which implies the next properties. B. Q: C0 → Hn(M ) is conformally invariant and non-trivial in general. C. If c ∈ C 0 and u ∈ N (Pn) then ∫ uQc is conformally invariant. D. (See the discussion immediately below.) In each choice of metric Q: E 0 → E [−n] is formally self-adjoint. E. (See the discussion immediately below.) Q1 is the Q-curvature. The last properties are trivial since the operator is multiplication by a scalar field and by definition Q1 = Q. However we should note that we can add to Q any differential operator that annihilates constants, and properties 1-3 will be unaffected. Property 4 is suggesting that if we do that, then we should insist that the result is formally self-adjoint. The idea now is to look for analogous operators on other forms. We write Ck for the space of closed k-forms. Consider the operator \n\nM g = dδ + 2 J − 4P]: En/ 2−1 → E n/ 2−1[−2]. (35) (Note that by the conformal Hodge star E n/ 2−1[−2] ∼= En/ 2+1, so we can also view this as an operator into ( n/ 2 + 1)-forms.) Then: \n\nExercise 7. On Cn/ 2−1 we have \n\nM ˆg = M g + βδdω, \n\nwhere β is some nonzero constant, ˆ g = e2ωg, and in the display ω is viewed as a multiplication operator. Note that the conformal variation term δd is the Maxwell operator and is formally self-adjoint. So M g satisfies the analogue of property 1 above. The analogue of property 3 is an immediate consequence, i.e., ∫ 〈u, M c 〉 is conformally invariant where now c is a closed (n/ 2−1)-form and u ∈ N (δd ) (so in fact by compactness u, c are both closed). Next observe, by inspection, that M g is formally self-adjoint. So we have analogues for 1,3,4. There is also a bonus property, which is clear from the transformation law displayed: 22 \n\nδM gd: En/ 2−2 → E n/ 2−2[−4] is a non-trivial conformally invariant operator. In dimension 4 this is the Paneitz operator. So finally we need an analogue for property 2. It is clear that M g is conformally invariant as a map Cn/ 2−1 → E n/ 2−1[−2] /R(δ), so this is an analogue. But we can do more. There is no reason to suppose the image is co-closed. On the other hand note that δM g is conformally invariant on Cn/ 2−1 and so we have the following: \n\nM g: Hn/ 2−1 → Hn/ 2+1 (M ) with \n\nHn/ 2−1:= N (δM: Cn/ 2−1 → E n/ 2−2[−4]) (36) is conformally invariant. The space Hn/ 2−1 may be viewed as the space of \"conformal har-monics\". Evidently dim( Hn/ 2−1) is not always the same as the Betti number bn/ 2−1, but the elliptic coercivity of the pair ( d, δM ) gives it a good chance of returning the Betti number off a set of conformal structures that is somehow small. One should also check that the map (36) is non-trivial. \n\nFact: Let M = Sp × Sq, where p = n/ 2 − 1, q = n/ 2 + 1, with the standard Riemannian structure. Then φ ∈ H p if and only if φ is harmonic. Furthermore, the map (36) is non-trivial. In some recent work the authors have used the ambient metric, and its relationship to tractors, to show that the above construction generalises along the following lines: There are operators M gk: Ek → E n−k (k ≤ n/ 2 − 1), given by a uniform construction, with the following properties: A. M gk: Ck → E n−k has the conformal transformation law M ˆgk = M gk + Lkω, where Lk\n\nis a formally self-adjoint operator from k-forms to ( n − k)-forms, and is a constant multiple of dM gk+1 d.B.

A similar argument applies to the Mk generally. Thus, from the point of view that the Q-curvature is a non-conformally invariant object that in a deep sense cannot be made conformally invariant, but one which nevertheless determines a global conformal invariant, the operators M gk give a genuine generalisation of the Q-curvature to an operator on closed forms. 23 \n\nProblems k: There are analogues for the operators M gk of most of the conundrums and problems for the Q-curvature. \n\nChapter C: Open problems \n\nConformal Structure in Geometry, Analysis, and Physics \n\nAugust 12 to 16, 2003 at the American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto, California \n\nI.

Engaging institutions \n\nSummarized Notes \n\nEducational Tools and Open Source vs. Commercial Solutions \n\nThe workshop began with a discussion on educational tools like STACK and \n\nWebWork, debating whether to focus exclusively on open-source tools. Participants \n\ndistinguished between open-source tools, which can be modified, and freely \n\navailable tools, which are not editable. They recognized that while open-source tools \n\noffer control over long-term costs, they still incur expenses related to servers and \n\nexpertise. The focus was on ensuring that tools are not only available but also \n\neffectively implemented with proper training and support. \n\nImplementation and Effectiveness \n\nThere was a consensus that the success of educational tools depends on their \n\nimplementation rather than the tools themselves. Effective use requires thoughtful \n\nintegration into the curriculum, considering usability and user community. The \n\ndiscussion highlighted that diverse assessment methods are needed, and merely \n\nproviding tools is not sufficient; critical thinking and training are essential. \n\nCollaborative Problem-Solving and Tool Adaptation \n\nParticipants explored the potential of tools designed for collaborative \n\nproblem-solving, suggesting that students should be able to pass problems to peers \n\nfor continued work. They emphasized the need for technologies that support group \n\ninteractions and improve collaborative learning. Additionally, the importance of \n\nadapting tools based on user feedback and ensuring they meet the needs of diverse \n\nlearners was highlighted. \n\nAssessment and Data Utilization \n\nThe workshop addressed the role of assessments in evaluating student learning, \n\ndiscussing both intrinsic assessments (where task completion itself verifies correctness) and traditional evaluations. The need for research on the alignment \n\nbetween digital and traditional assessments was noted, as well as the importance of \n\nintegrating meaningful research into teaching practices. Participants stressed the \n\nnecessity of understanding how digital tools affect student engagement and learning \n\noutcomes. \n\nCultural and Contextual Considerations \n\nParticipants discussed the cultural aspect of mathematics education, emphasizing \n\nthe need to make math relatable and engaging through real-world scenarios. The \n\nconversation also covered the importance of contextualizing online assessments to \n\naddress language and cultural differences, and how hybrid methods combining \n\ntraditional and technological tools could be beneficial. \n\nProfessional Development and Collaboration \n\nThe discussion included the need for professional development in using AI and other \n\ntechnological tools in education. Participants noted the challenges faced by \n\neducators in adopting new methods and stressed the importance of fostering a \n\ncollaborative culture in education. Building support networks and addressing \n\nattitudes towards new practices were identified as crucial for effective \n\nimplementation. \n\nFuture Directions and Research Needs \n\nThe workshop concluded with a call for further research into the effectiveness of \n\neducational tools and assessment methods. Participants discussed the need for \n\nlongitudinal studies, exploring the impact of technology on different educational \n\ncontexts and demographics. They also highlighted the importance of international \n\ncollaboration and the need for ongoing evaluation and refinement of educational \n\nstrategies. \n\nThe workshop aimed to refine ideas into actionable projects and proposals, with a \n\nfocus on future collaboration and continued development of educational practices \n\nand tools. \n\nFully Transcripted Notes \n\nDiscussion started with highlighting the two primary tools (STACK and Web work) \n\nbut questioned the potential for multiple tools to address challenges in education. The group considered whether to focus on open source tools exclusively and if open \n\nsource should be a qualifying criterion. \n\nThere was a discussion about the distinction between open source tools, which allow \n\nfor code modification, and freely available tools, which may not be editable. The \n\ngroup aimed to clarify whether \"open\" means free to use or also includes the ability \n\nto edit and customize the tool. \n\nThe total cost of ownership for open source tools was addressed, noting that despite \n\nbeing free to use, they require servers and expertise, which can be expensive. It was \n\nacknowledged that while open source tools offer control over long-term costs, they \n\nare not completely free, and these costs must be considered by policymakers. \n\nThere was a focus on the feasibility and impact of educational interventions, \n\nparticularly the use of online tools and assessments. A key point raised by Chris \n\nhighlighted the challenge of ensuring these tools are responsive to students' learning \n\nneeds and attainment levels. He suggested that the way we use these tools, rather \n\nthan the tools themselves, significantly affects their outcomes. \n\nIt was emphasized that the tool's effectiveness depends on its implementation and \n\nthe policies guiding its use. There was a consensus that simply providing the tools is \n\ninsufficient; critical thinking and training on their use are essential. \n\nTwo main themes emerged: adoption and implementation. Adoption refers to \n\nwhether the tool is used or not, while implementation concerns how the tool is used. \n\nEffective implementation requires considering the theoretical foundations, \n\nuser-friendliness, and the community of users. \n\nParticipants agreed that technology should be designed to adapt based on feedback \n\nand be supported with appropriate training and resources. The discussion \n\nunderscored the need for a comprehensive approach that considers curriculum \n\nviews, software usability, and the user community. \n\nIt was highlighted that it isn't solely about open source but rather the cost of use \n\nand the implications of maintaining and supporting these tools. The importance of \n\nconsidering both immediate and long-term costs was emphasized for effective \n\ndecision-making in educational contexts. \n\nFurthermore, there was a discussion on the integration of lectureship positions with \n\ncurriculum design, emphasizing the importance of creating transferable resources. \n\nThe idea is to develop open-source course packs, such as those for linear algebra, \n\nthat instructors can download and use. These resources should not only be \n\nwell-packaged for use but also designed for sharing and community collaboration, \n\nallowing for feedback and continuous improvement. A key point raised was the need for a two-way conversation in resource sharing. \n\nInstead of a top-down approach, where a package is distributed for everyone to use, \n\nthe focus should be on building a collaborative loop. This involves educators \n\ncontributing to and refining shared resources. \n\nAdditionally, the workshop highlighted the challenge of authoring questions, which is \n\ntime-consuming for educators. There was a discussion about the interoperability of \n\neducational content across different learning systems. This includes the potential for \n\nimporting and adapting course materials from one platform to another, ensuring that \n\ncontent is reusable and efficient. \n\nThere was a call for both technological and community-based solutions to facilitate \n\nthe sharing of educational resources. The goal is to improve the quality and volume \n\nof shared content, thereby saving time and enhancing the overall educational \n\nexperience. \n\nAnother discussion on accessing education data emerged and emphasized the \n\nimportance of tailoring educational tools and data collection to different contexts to \n\nmotivate learners effectively. This contextual approach ensures that data is \n\nrepresentative of diverse environments, aiding in comprehensive analysis. \n\nParticipants highlighted the need for large datasets to train effective models. \n\nCollaboration with institutions is essential to gather socio-demographic information, \n\nwhich can enhance the utility of data for various purposes. A key question raised was \n\nthe broader objectives of collecting combined data sets and the types of questions \n\nsuch data could help answer. \n\nOne significant barrier to technology adoption in education is the lack of adaptability \n\nto individual learner levels. Technologies often fail to identify specific areas where \n\nstudents struggle, unlike human teachers who can provide personalized guidance. \n\nAddressing this gap could involve using data to adapt educational technologies to \n\nmeet individual learning needs more effectively. \n\nOverall, the discussion underscored the necessity of actionable data to identify and \n\naddress learning gaps, enhancing the adaptability of educational tools to support \n\nstudent success. \n\nThe concept of intrinsic assessment was discussed, particularly in the context of \n\nproblem-solving and modeling activities. Intrinsic assessment occurs when the \n\ncompletion of a task inherently demonstrates its correctness. For instance, in coding, \n\nthe functionality of the code serves as its own assessment-if it works, it meets the \n\nrequired standards. This self-assessing nature is valuable but should be one of many \n\ntools in an educational portfolio. Discussion on authenticity and functionality highlighted that for an artifact to be \n\nconsidered authentic, it must function correctly. This idea challenges the traditional \n\n\"us versus them\" model of assessment, where an external party evaluates the work. \n\nInstead, the artifact's ability to perform its intended function serves as a measure of \n\nits authenticity and correctness. \n\nBroadening assessment tools discussions underscored the importance of having a \n\ndiverse set of assessment tools. Intrinsic assessments, while valuable, cannot stand \n\nalone. Educators should incorporate various methods to ensure comprehensive \n\nevaluation and support student learning. \n\nThere was also a discussion on the need to research the effectiveness of new \n\neducational tools, such as STACK, in enhancing student learning. Concerns were \n\nraised about potential unintended consequences of these innovations. It was \n\nsuggested that thorough testing and research are necessary to understand their \n\nimpact fully and to address any negative outcomes. \n\nThe interaction between students and educational tools was another key topic. The \n\nimportance of structured time and focused engagement was emphasized to prevent \n\nstudents from rushing through tasks without understanding. The debate about the \n\nquality of online math practice compared to traditional methods was also addressed, \n\nwith suggestions that research could help validate the effectiveness of online tools. \n\nThere was a consensus on the need for diverse assessment methods, careful \n\nimplementation of educational innovations, and thorough research to ensure these \n\ntools positively impact student learning. The discussions highlighted the complexities \n\nof modern education and the necessity of a multifaceted approach to teaching and \n\nassessment. \n\nIncorporating math education research at the development stage of technologies can \n\nprovide valuable feedback to improve teaching and learning. One key area needing \n\nresearch is the development of teachers' content knowledge. For instance, \n\nunderstanding how to effectively teach fractions and identifying common student \n\nmistakes can be challenging. Technology can help by collecting and analyzing data \n\non student performance, which can then be used to inform teacher training and \n\nimprove instructional methods. \n\nIn the Kenyan context, the shift from a summative to a formative assessment \n\napproach under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) highlights the need for \n\nbetter utilization of assessment data. By analyzing data from formative assessments, \n\nthe government can provide feedback to teachers, helping them address specific \n\nareas of student weakness. This approach can enhance both individual and national \n\neducation outcomes. Research should also focus on the specific features of assessment tools that support \n\nstudent engagement with mathematical ideas. Understanding how feedback is \n\nstructured and presented can be crucial. Qualitative research, such as interviewing \n\nstudents about their experiences, can provide insights into what supports or hinders \n\ntheir learning. This information can guide the design of more effective feedback \n\nmechanisms, ultimately improving student learning outcomes. \n\nOnline assessments often fail to connect with students due to contextual differences. \n\nOne significant issue is the language used in these assessments, which is \n\npredominantly English. The expectations for how responses should be input can be a \n\nbarrier, especially if the student's way of expressing themselves isn't aligned with \n\nconventional standards. Educators who know their students well can often infer their \n\nintended meaning, but this nuance is lost in automated online assessments. \n\nThere is a need to explore ways to bridge this gap and make online assessments \n\nmore context-sensitive. One suggestion is to incorporate tools that allow for some \n\nlevel of interpretation or personalization based on the student's context. Additionally, \n\ninnovative approaches to teaching and assessment that consider the specific context \n\nand needs of students should be developed. Hybrid methods combining traditional \n\nand technological tools could be beneficial. \n\nMathematics should not just be viewed as a subject but as a cultural element that \n\ninfluences various professions. The discussion highlighted that individuals exposed \n\nto mathematical thinking from an early age tend to excel in their fields, even if those \n\nfields are not directly related to mathematics. This cultural aspect of mathematics \n\nhelps individuals develop better problem-solving skills and analytical thinking, which \n\nare valuable in any profession. \n\nThe example of using a golf ball to teach mathematics illustrates the importance of \n\nmaking math relatable and applicable to real-world scenarios. This approach can \n\nchange students' perceptions of mathematics and make it more engaging and \n\nrelevant to their lives and future careers. \n\nDiscussions here emphasized the importance of contextualizing online assessments, \n\nusing hybrid methods, and promoting the cultural aspects of mathematics to enhance \n\nlearning outcomes. These strategies can help bridge the gap between students' \n\nunderstanding and conventional assessment methods, ultimately fostering a deeper \n\nappreciation and proficiency in mathematics. \n\nParticipants discussed the potential of designing educational tools that facilitate \n\ncollaborative problem-solving. One idea presented was a tool allowing students to \n\nstart solving a problem individually and, if they get stuck, pass it on to a peer who \n\ncontinues the work. This approach would enable students to learn from each other's problem-solving methods. The discussion emphasized shifting from technology \n\ndesigned for individual use to technology that supports group interactions. This shift \n\ncould enhance collaboration, particularly in the context of competency-based \n\ncurricula and 21st-century skills. \n\nCollaboration in mathematics goes beyond group work; it involves students sharing \n\nand building on each other's ideas. Technologies that support this kind of interaction \n\ncan foster deeper collaboration and improve learning outcomes. Participants \n\nexplored the idea of involving students in content creation, not just as consumers. \n\nThis approach could address language barriers and content accessibility, making \n\nlearning materials more relevant and authentic. The discussions addressed the \n\nchallenge of ensuring that student feedback and answers in assessments are \n\nauthentic. Participants discussed the need for reliable electronic tools that accurately \n\nreflect students' understanding and performance. \n\nThe discussion highlights a key issue: the gap between current technology use and \n\nthe experience of educators who may not have been trained in modern tech-based \n\nteaching methods. The focus needs to be on a holistic approach that considers the \n\nentire educational system, including policymakers, educators, and students. There is \n\nan observed resistance or lack of familiarity with new methods among educators, not \n\nnecessarily due to opposition but because they have not been exposed to or trained \n\nin these modern approaches. This suggests the need for a shift in training programs \n\nfor future educators to better integrate contemporary practices. The conversation \n\nalso emphasized the importance of addressing attitudes and values in educational \n\nchange. Successful implementation of new practices, whether technology-based or \n\nnot, requires attention to the attitudes of those involved. This means incorporating \n\nthese aspects into the design and deployment of educational initiatives to ensure \n\neffective adoption and application. \n\nThere were discussions revolving around how to effectively build and sustain a \n\ncommunity around educational technologies like STACK, ensuring high adoption and \n\nongoing development. A major concern is how educators using STACK can interpret \n\nthe data analytics it provides, especially since not all users have a background in \n\nstatistics. The goal is to simplify this data so that educators, regardless of their \n\nstatistical expertise, can easily understand and apply the insights to address specific \n\nissues their students may face. \n\nThe question posed is how to make the analytics from tools like STACK more \n\naccessible and useful for educators. It is essential to explore ways to automate or \n\nsimplify the process of interpreting and sharing insights from these tools. Additionally, \n\nunderstanding how these tools impact different types of engagement-emotional, \n\ncognitive, and behavioral-is important. This includes examining whether these tools \n\naffect engagement levels differently and using this understanding to guide future \n\nimprovements. In summary, the discussion sought to address how to enhance the usability of \n\neducational tools and the analytics they provide, focusing on improving their \n\naccessibility for educators and understanding their impact on student engagement. \n\nAgain, the discussions highlighted several key issues around communication and \n\nstudent engagement in educational settings. One notable point was the impact of \n\ntransitioning to digital tools on student-instructor relationships. An example \n\nmentioned was about how a professor shared that switching to online homework \n\nsubmissions reduced their familiarity with student names, demonstrating how \n\ntechnology can affect personal interactions. \n\nDiscussions emphasized the importance of maintaining student interaction, even \n\nwhen integrating new technological tools. It was argued that while digital tools can \n\nenhance learning, they should not replace face-to-face engagement. This balance is \n\ncritical to ensuring students feel heard and supported. \n\nParticipants suggested that instead of relying on a single comprehensive tool, a suite \n\nof complementary tools might better address various educational needs. This \n\napproach allows instructors to choose the most appropriate tools for quizzes, group \n\nwork, assessments, and content delivery based on their specific class context. \n\nOne proposed strategy was using tools to foster student interaction and \n\ncollaboration, where students receive additional points for helping their peers. This \n\nmethod encourages active participation and peer support, contributing to a more \n\ndynamic learning environment. \n\nThe discussion concluded with a call for a stable, long-term platform for educators to \n\nshare and receive feedback on the effective use of technological tools. This platform \n\ncould help educators adapt and improve their teaching strategies, ensuring that \n\ntechnology enhances rather than detracts from the learning experience. \n\nDiscussions further highlighted the effectiveness of structured pedagogical activities \n\nfor teachers. By following well-designed activities step-by-step, even less \n\nexperienced teachers can see improvements in teaching and learning outcomes. \n\nHowever, this approach may limit opportunities for innovation and creativity, which \n\ncould be a drawback for confident teachers looking to enhance their sessions further. \n\nA key topic was the concept of \"collaboratively invented mathematics,\" where \n\nstudents use digital tools to collaboratively discover mathematical concepts, such as \n\nthe Taylor series. This method shifts from traditional pedagogy to a more engaging, \n\nexploratory approach, allowing students to invent mathematics that historically took \n\ncenturies to develop. There was a strong emphasis on embedding meaningful research into teaching \n\npractices. This includes designing assessments with digital tools to evaluate \n\nstudents' understanding effectively. The integration of research can inform \n\neducational innovations and improve teaching methodologies. \n\nParticipants also discussed the importance of international collaboration in \n\nmathematics education. Countries interested in adopting these innovative teaching \n\nmethods need support to integrate and implement them effectively. The potential for \n\nusing online tools to facilitate these collaborations was considered crucial for \n\nbroadening the impact of these educational innovations. \n\nIt was then concluded from this discourse that structured pedagogy can significantly \n\nimprove teaching outcomes, but there is a need to balance this with opportunities for \n\nteacher innovation. The collaborative invention of mathematics and embedding \n\nresearch into teaching practices were highlighted as promising approaches. Global \n\ncollaboration and effective implementation of these methods are essential for their \n\nsuccess. \n\nA participant had mentioned the need to discuss the positive uses of AI in teaching \n\nand its potential benefits. Participants highlighted the importance of professional \n\ndevelopment for lecturers and teachers to effectively use AI tools, including both \n\npre-service and in-service training. \n\nA concern was raised about why only a few lecturers consistently use new \n\ntechnological tools while others do not. The discussion also explored the support \n\navailable for African institutions wishing to adopt technology in teaching. Building \n\nsupport networks and fostering collaborative learning were identified as crucial \n\nelements. \n\nThe conversation noted that education systems often promote individualism over \n\ncollaboration. This mentality persists into higher education and research, making \n\ncollaboration challenging. Encouraging a culture of helping and sharing knowledge \n\nfrom a young age was seen as vital. \n\nAlso, it was mentioned that some teachers appreciated innovative teaching methods \n\nthat do not rely on technology but expressed concerns about time constraints. They \n\nfeared that creative teaching methods might reduce the amount of content covered \n\nduring class. The group questioned ways to balance innovative teaching with \n\ncurriculum requirements, aiming to inspire students to explore concepts \n\nindependently. \n\nOne issue discussed was the alignment between final exam results and outcomes \n\nfrom online assessments. The concern is whether traditional exams provide the \n\nsame results as digital formative assessments. This disparity could be an interesting research question, particularly in contexts like the Open University, where online \n\nassessments are prevalent. Understanding how long-term use of digital tools affects \n\nmathematical communication and writing could be another research avenue. \n\nA key point raised was the relationship between formative assessments and \n\ntraditional examinations. There is interest in researching how these different forms of \n\nassessment align with each other, especially if one is digitized and the other is not. \n\nThis could reveal important insights into the effectiveness and consistency of various \n\nassessment methods. \n\nAnother discussion topic was the role of digital tools in enhancing or hindering \n\nmathematical communication. The group considered how these tools impact \n\nstudents' abilities to communicate mathematical ideas effectively. There was a \n\nsuggestion to explore ways to leverage student collaboration to improve \n\ncommunication skills, potentially by rewarding students for explaining concepts to \n\npeers. \n\nThe conversation also touched on how improving collaborative learning can \n\nsimultaneously enhance mathematical communication skills. Encouraging students \n\nto work together and explain their reasoning can create a virtuous cycle of improved \n\ncommunication and understanding. This approach could be beneficial in fostering \n\nboth collaboration and competency in mathematics. \n\nFinally, participants highlighted the need to understand different levels of \n\nmathematical education. From high school students aiming for basic competency to \n\nthose pursuing careers in mathematics, it's important to consider how various tools \n\nand methods support different educational goals. This broader understanding can \n\nhelp tailor educational strategies to meet diverse student needs. \n\nThe math education researchers discussed the importance of building capacity \n\namong mathematicians who currently teach but may lack certain skills. This involves \n\nengaging more individuals in math education research beyond just the math \n\neducation researchers. \n\nParticipants considered conducting a research project aimed at improving the quality \n\nof math tasks. This includes identifying the best and worst tasks and determining \n\nwhere new tasks should be developed. Research on individual tasks can help \n\npinpoint those that are most effective. There are challenges in designing tasks for \n\ncertain areas of mathematics, such as abstract algebra and geometry. The \n\ndiscussion covered the need to create effective tasks that go beyond simple \n\ncalculations and consider the specific content of each course. An idea was proposed \n\nto identify a set of principles for designing good tasks that promote learning, \n\nregardless of the course context. For instance, out of 200 derivative problems, \n\nfinding the top 20 that best promote learning. The workshop emphasized the importance of maintaining the human element in \n\nassessments. Positive reinforcement can generate new ideas and support students \n\neffectively. One participant shared their teaching approach, which involves assigning \n\nseminar topics to groups of students. These groups work on their topics throughout \n\nthe semester and present their findings, fostering collaboration and deeper \n\nunderstanding. \n\nDuring the workshop, discussions focused on the integration of education technology \n\nand its impact on student learning. One key point raised was the need to assess \n\nwhether these technologies are genuinely beneficial or potentially harmful. Although \n\ninitial plans to collaborate with a math education researcher were not realized in \n\ntime, the intention is to pilot the technology with first-year students and conduct a \n\nfollow-up assessment in the second year. \n\nParticipants emphasized the importance of understanding the distinct roles education \n\ntechnology plays in different institutional contexts, such as CalTech versus other \n\nuniversities. This understanding is crucial for determining the effectiveness of such \n\ntechnologies in enhancing learning experiences. \n\nAnother significant idea was the implementation of longitudinal studies to track \n\nstudent progress over several years. These studies could help identify best practices \n\nand measure the long-term impact of education technologies on learning outcomes. \n\nFor example, tracking the same cohort of students through a four-year degree \n\nprogram could reveal valuable insights into their learning journeys. \n\nThe workshop also highlighted the potential to investigate specific issues, such as \n\ngender disparities in STEM fields. By comparing data from different universities and \n\ncontexts, researchers could analyze how online tools and other interventions \n\ninfluence retention rates and learning experiences for different student \n\ndemographics. \n\nIn conclusion, the discussions underscored the need for rigorous educational \n\nresearch to identify effective practices and understand how various factors influence \n\nstudent learning across different contexts. \n\nDiscussions highlighted the tendency to treat students as a homogenous group, \n\nwhich overlooks individual progress. Mary raised a point about the uniform speed of \n\nstudent progress enforced by current assessment systems. Unlike learning to drive \n\nin the UK, where individuals take their driving test when ready, school exams are \n\nscheduled uniformly for all students. This system's rigidity does not account for \n\nindividual readiness and progress. The conversation explored the potential of \n\nelectronic assessment tools to transform not only learning but also assessment \n\nsystems. The current system, rooted in historical practices, necessitates uniform \n\nexam schedules. Electronic tools, however, offer the flexibility to tailor assessments to individual progress, potentially leading to a more personalized and effective \n\neducation system. \n\nMary's quote about play sparked a discussion on the nature of compulsory \n\nparticipation. True play requires freedom-emotional, economic, and choice \n\nfreedom. Compulsory education systems often lack these freedoms, making \n\nparticipation feel forced. The group pondered whether new tools could introduce \n\nmore freedom and playfulness into learning, thereby enhancing engagement and \n\neffectiveness. \n\nThe discussion extended to the broader implications of changing educational \n\nsystems. It was suggested that learning could be more context-specific and playful, \n\nintegrating disciplines in meaningful ways. For instance, learning math through \n\nhistorical contexts could make it more relevant and engaging for students. \n\nA key concern was whether stakeholders-students, educators, institutions, and \n\nsocieties-are ready for such a transformation. The readiness in terms of attitude, \n\ncapacity, and resources was questioned, especially considering the challenges faced \n\nby educational systems in regions like Africa. The discussion concluded with a call to \n\nassess the readiness and willingness of all stakeholders to transition from traditional \n\nto technology-integrated assessments. \n\nThe workshop highlighted a critical distinction between commercial and open-source \n\nsolutions, particularly concerning future cost implications. Participants debated \n\nwhether the focus should be on Open Access or open-source terms, considering \n\ntheir impact on accessibility and contribution rights. \n\nA key point raised was the risk of relying on commercial software that might become \n\ncostly or inaccessible if terms change. In contrast, open-source software offers more \n\nstability and control, allowing modifications and reducing dependency on external \n\nvendors. \n\nThe discussion also touched on the need to understand how open-source principles \n\ncould inform educational software choices. The idea is to draw from the open \n\ncommunity's experiences to determine what makes software truly open and \n\nsustainable. \n\nParticipants expressed interest in identifying qualifying criteria for evaluating different \n\nsoftware options. The upcoming sessions will aim to clarify these criteria, explore \n\nalternative platforms, and discuss their functionalities to make informed decisions. \n\nOverall, there is a call to explore how open-source and open-access principles can \n\nbetter serve educational institutions and to determine the most suitable approach \n\nbased on their needs and trade-offs. Another discussion highlighted the tension between competitive academic systems \n\nand the need for collaboration. There is a concern about how to foster collaboration \n\nfrom a young age within a system that traditionally emphasizes competition. This \n\nraises questions about how competitive academic structures can adapt to support \n\ncollaborative learning. \n\nIt was noted that shifting teaching approaches might not require technology but a \n\nchange from a strict curriculum focus. Teachers accustomed to curriculum-based \n\ninstruction may struggle to integrate new methods. The question arises whether \n\nthese new approaches can fit within the existing curriculum or if they require a \n\ncomplete overhaul. \n\nThe conversation addressed the need to adapt digital tools for students with special \n\nneeds. Ensuring that digital educational resources are accessible to all learners is \n\ncrucial, and there is interest in how these tools can be modified to meet the needs of \n\nindividuals with disabilities. \n\nA question was raised about whether students could receive certification for \n\ncompleting modules from open educational resources outside traditional institutions. \n\nThis discussion explores the potential for recognizing and certifying informal or \n\nself-directed learning experiences. \n\nRecent evidence suggests that structured pedagogy, which includes detailed lesson \n\nplans and specific instructional strategies, improves teaching and learning at \n\nfoundational levels. The inquiry is whether similar structured approaches could \n\nenhance education at higher levels, combining structured methods with more \n\nadvanced pedagogical strategies. \n\nThe discussion highlighted the importance of exploring alternative assessment \n\nmethods beyond digital tools. Emphasis was placed on incorporating human \n\ninteractions and experiences, which are often difficult to quantify. These \n\nassessments should inspire and motivate rather than merely evaluate. \n\nThere is a need for online tools that not only assess but also engage and inspire \n\nusers. This involves considering how institutions can be involved in data sharing \n\nagreements and fostering better engagement at an institutional level, rather than \n\nfocusing solely on individuals. \n\nAs the session concluded, there was a brief discussion on record-keeping and the \n\nneed for capturing high-speed data. The final points stressed were the importance of \n\nintegrating motivational aspects into assessments and the need for institutional \n\ninvolvement in data sharing. \n\nThe workshop aims to explore and develop a variety of significant and \n\nwell-considered ideas. Participants will engage in open-ended discussions and collaborative activities to refine these ideas. The goal is to convert these ideas into \n\nactionable projects, such as grant proposals or collaborative efforts. \n\nThe moderators and organizers will review the collected ideas and organize them \n\ninto key topics for group discussions scheduled for tomorrow. This process will \n\ninvolve multiple cycles of group work to generate viable projects. \n\nBy the end of the workshop, participants are expected to develop detailed plans and \n\npotential projects. However, given the scope of the topics, the workshop will primarily \n\nserve as a starting point, with continued work beyond the event. \n\nParticipants should use the current session to propose and refine ideas they are \n\ninterested in. The workshop will provide a foundation for future collaboration, with the \n\nunderstanding that comprehensive solutions will evolve over time. \n\nA report summarizing the workshop outcomes will be available, detailing the \n\nproposed topics and next steps. Participants are encouraged to bring forward any \n\nnew ideas or questions they have.", "clean_statement": "40. Engaging institutions\n\nSummarized Notes\n\nEducational Tools and Open Source vs. Commercial Solutions\n\nThe workshop began with a discussion on educational tools like STACK and\n\nWebWork, debating whether to focus exclusively on open-source tools. Participants\n\ndistinguished between open-source tools, which can be modified, and freely\n\navailable tools, which are not editable. They recognized that while open-source tools\n\noffer control over long-term costs, they still incur expenses related to servers and\n\nexpertise. The focus was on ensuring that tools are not only available but also\n\neffectively implemented with proper training and support.\n\nImplementation and Effectiveness\n\nThere was a consensus that the success of educational tools depends on their\n\nimplementation rather than the tools themselves. Effective use requires thoughtful\n\nintegration into the curriculum, considering usability and user community. The\n\ndiscussion highlighted that diverse assessment methods are needed, and merely\n\nproviding tools is not sufficient; critical thinking and training are essential.\n\nCollaborative Problem-Solving and Tool Adaptation\n\nParticipants explored the potential of tools designed for collaborative\n\nproblem-solving, suggesting that students should be able to pass problems to peers\n\nfor continued work. They emphasized the need for technologies that support group\n\ninteractions and improve collaborative learning. Additionally, the importance of\n\nadapting tools based on user feedback and ensuring they meet the needs of diverse\n\nlearners was highlighted.\n\nAssessment and Data Utilization\n\nThe workshop addressed the role of assessments in evaluating student learning,\n\ndiscussing both intrinsic assessments (where task completion itself verifies correctness) and traditional evaluations. The need for research on the alignment\n\nbetween digital and traditional assessments was noted, as well as the importance of\n\nintegrating meaningful research into teaching practices. Participants stressed the\n\nnecessity of understanding how digital tools affect student engagement and learning\n\noutcomes.\n\nCultural and Contextual Considerations\n\nParticipants discussed the cultural aspect of mathematics education, emphasizing\n\nthe need to make math relatable and engaging through real-world scenarios. The\n\nconversation also covered the importance of contextualizing online assessments to\n\naddress language and cultural differences, and how hybrid methods combining\n\ntraditional and technological tools could be beneficial.\n\nProfessional Development and Collaboration\n\nThe discussion included the need for professional development in using AI and other\n\ntechnological tools in education. Participants noted the challenges faced by\n\neducators in adopting new methods and stressed the importance of fostering a\n\ncollaborative culture in education. Building support networks and addressing\n\nattitudes towards new practices were identified as crucial for effective\n\nimplementation.\n\nFuture Directions and Research Needs\n\nThe workshop concluded with a call for further research into the effectiveness of\n\neducational tools and assessment methods. Participants discussed the need for\n\nlongitudinal studies, exploring the impact of technology on different educational\n\ncontexts and demographics. They also highlighted the importance of international\n\ncollaboration and the need for ongoing evaluation and refinement of educational\n\nstrategies.\n\nThe workshop aimed to refine ideas into actionable projects and proposals, with a\n\nfocus on future collaboration and continued development of educational practices\n\nand tools.\n\nFully Transcripted Notes\n\nDiscussion started with highlighting the two primary tools (STACK and Web work)\n\nbut questioned the potential for multiple tools to address challenges in education. The group considered whether to focus on open source tools exclusively and if open\n\nsource should be a qualifying criterion.\n\nThere was a discussion about the distinction between open source tools, which allow\n\nfor code modification, and freely available tools, which may not be editable. The\n\ngroup aimed to clarify whether \"open\" means free to use or also includes the ability\n\nto edit and customize the tool.\n\nThe total cost of ownership for open source tools was addressed, noting that despite\n\nbeing free to use, they require servers and expertise, which can be expensive. It was\n\nacknowledged that while open source tools offer control over long-term costs, they\n\nare not completely free, and these costs must be considered by policymakers.\n\nThere was a focus on the feasibility and impact of educational interventions,\n\nparticularly the use of online tools and assessments. A key point raised by Chris\n\nhighlighted the challenge of ensuring these tools are responsive to students' learning\n\nneeds and attainment levels. He suggested that the way we use these tools, rather\n\nthan the tools themselves, significantly affects their outcomes.\n\nIt was emphasized that the tool's effectiveness depends on its implementation and\n\nthe policies guiding its use. There was a consensus that simply providing the tools is\n\ninsufficient; critical thinking and training on their use are essential.\n\nTwo main themes emerged: adoption and implementation. Adoption refers to\n\nwhether the tool is used or not, while implementation concerns how the tool is used.\n\nEffective implementation requires considering the theoretical foundations,\n\nuser-friendliness, and the community of users.\n\nParticipants agreed that technology should be designed to adapt based on feedback\n\nand be supported with appropriate training and resources. The discussion\n\nunderscored the need for a comprehensive approach that considers curriculum\n\nviews, software usability, and the user community.\n\nIt was highlighted that it isn't solely about open source but rather the cost of use\n\nand the implications of maintaining and supporting these tools. The importance of\n\nconsidering both immediate and long-term costs was emphasized for effective\n\ndecision-making in educational contexts.\n\nFurthermore, there was a discussion on the integration of lectureship positions with\n\ncurriculum design, emphasizing the importance of creating transferable resources.\n\nThe idea is to develop open-source course packs, such as those for linear algebra,\n\nthat instructors can download and use. These resources should not only be\n\nwell-packaged for use but also designed for sharing and community collaboration,\n\nallowing for feedback and continuous improvement. A key point raised was the need for a two-way conversation in resource sharing.\n\nInstead of a top-down approach, where a package is distributed for everyone to use,\n\nthe focus should be on building a collaborative loop. This involves educators\n\ncontributing to and refining shared resources.\n\nAdditionally, the workshop highlighted the challenge of authoring questions, which is\n\ntime-consuming for educators. There was a discussion about the interoperability of\n\neducational content across different learning systems. This includes the potential for\n\nimporting and adapting course materials from one platform to another, ensuring that\n\ncontent is reusable and efficient.\n\nThere was a call for both technological and community-based solutions to facilitate\n\nthe sharing of educational resources. The goal is to improve the quality and volume\n\nof shared content, thereby saving time and enhancing the overall educational\n\nexperience.\n\nAnother discussion on accessing education data emerged and emphasized the\n\nimportance of tailoring educational tools and data collection to different contexts to\n\nmotivate learners effectively. This contextual approach ensures that data is\n\nrepresentative of diverse environments, aiding in comprehensive analysis.\n\nParticipants highlighted the need for large datasets to train effective models.\n\nCollaboration with institutions is essential to gather socio-demographic information,\n\nwhich can enhance the utility of data for various purposes. A key question raised was\n\nthe broader objectives of collecting combined data sets and the types of questions\n\nsuch data could help answer.\n\nOne significant barrier to technology adoption in education is the lack of adaptability\n\nto individual learner levels. Technologies often fail to identify specific areas where\n\nstudents struggle, unlike human teachers who can provide personalized guidance.\n\nAddressing this gap could involve using data to adapt educational technologies to\n\nmeet individual learning needs more effectively.\n\nOverall, the discussion underscored the necessity of actionable data to identify and\n\naddress learning gaps, enhancing the adaptability of educational tools to support\n\nstudent success.\n\nThe concept of intrinsic assessment was discussed, particularly in the context of\n\nproblem-solving and modeling activities. Intrinsic assessment occurs when the\n\ncompletion of a task inherently demonstrates its correctness. For instance, in coding,\n\nthe functionality of the code serves as its own assessment-if it works, it meets the\n\nrequired standards. This self-assessing nature is valuable but should be one of many\n\ntools in an educational portfolio. Discussion on authenticity and functionality highlighted that for an artifact to be\n\nconsidered authentic, it must function correctly. This idea challenges the traditional\n\n\"us versus them\" model of assessment, where an external party evaluates the work.\n\nInstead, the artifact's ability to perform its intended function serves as a measure of\n\nits authenticity and correctness.\n\nBroadening assessment tools discussions underscored the importance of having a\n\ndiverse set of assessment tools. Intrinsic assessments, while valuable, cannot stand\n\nalone. Educators should incorporate various methods to ensure comprehensive\n\nevaluation and support student learning.\n\nThere was also a discussion on the need to research the effectiveness of new\n\neducational tools, such as STACK, in enhancing student learning. Concerns were\n\nraised about potential unintended consequences of these innovations. It was\n\nsuggested that thorough testing and research are necessary to understand their\n\nimpact fully and to address any negative outcomes.\n\nThe interaction between students and educational tools was another key topic. The\n\nimportance of structured time and focused engagement was emphasized to prevent\n\nstudents from rushing through tasks without understanding. The debate about the\n\nquality of online math practice compared to traditional methods was also addressed,\n\nwith suggestions that research could help validate the effectiveness of online tools.\n\nThere was a consensus on the need for diverse assessment methods, careful\n\nimplementation of educational innovations, and thorough research to ensure these\n\ntools positively impact student learning. The discussions highlighted the complexities\n\nof modern education and the necessity of a multifaceted approach to teaching and\n\nassessment.\n\nIncorporating math education research at the development stage of technologies can\n\nprovide valuable feedback to improve teaching and learning. One key area needing\n\nresearch is the development of teachers' content knowledge. For instance,\n\nunderstanding how to effectively teach fractions and identifying common student\n\nmistakes can be challenging. Technology can help by collecting and analyzing data\n\non student performance, which can then be used to inform teacher training and\n\nimprove instructional methods.\n\nIn the Kenyan context, the shift from a summative to a formative assessment\n\napproach under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) highlights the need for\n\nbetter utilization of assessment data. By analyzing data from formative assessments,\n\nthe government can provide feedback to teachers, helping them address specific\n\nareas of student weakness. This approach can enhance both individual and national\n\neducation outcomes. Research should also focus on the specific features of assessment tools that support\n\nstudent engagement with mathematical ideas. Understanding how feedback is\n\nstructured and presented can be crucial. Qualitative research, such as interviewing\n\nstudents about their experiences, can provide insights into what supports or hinders\n\ntheir learning. This information can guide the design of more effective feedback\n\nmechanisms, ultimately improving student learning outcomes.\n\nOnline assessments often fail to connect with students due to contextual differences.\n\nOne significant issue is the language used in these assessments, which is\n\npredominantly English. The expectations for how responses should be input can be a\n\nbarrier, especially if the student's way of expressing themselves isn't aligned with\n\nconventional standards. Educators who know their students well can often infer their\n\nintended meaning, but this nuance is lost in automated online assessments.\n\nThere is a need to explore ways to bridge this gap and make online assessments\n\nmore context-sensitive. One suggestion is to incorporate tools that allow for some\n\nlevel of interpretation or personalization based on the student's context. Additionally,\n\ninnovative approaches to teaching and assessment that consider the specific context\n\nand needs of students should be developed. Hybrid methods combining traditional\n\nand technological tools could be beneficial.\n\nMathematics should not just be viewed as a subject but as a cultural element that\n\ninfluences various professions. The discussion highlighted that individuals exposed\n\nto mathematical thinking from an early age tend to excel in their fields, even if those\n\nfields are not directly related to mathematics. This cultural aspect of mathematics\n\nhelps individuals develop better problem-solving skills and analytical thinking, which\n\nare valuable in any profession.\n\nThe example of using a golf ball to teach mathematics illustrates the importance of\n\nmaking math relatable and applicable to real-world scenarios. This approach can\n\nchange students' perceptions of mathematics and make it more engaging and\n\nrelevant to their lives and future careers.\n\nDiscussions here emphasized the importance of contextualizing online assessments,\n\nusing hybrid methods, and promoting the cultural aspects of mathematics to enhance\n\nlearning outcomes. These strategies can help bridge the gap between students'\n\nunderstanding and conventional assessment methods, ultimately fostering a deeper\n\nappreciation and proficiency in mathematics.\n\nParticipants discussed the potential of designing educational tools that facilitate\n\ncollaborative problem-solving. One idea presented was a tool allowing students to\n\nstart solving a problem individually and, if they get stuck, pass it on to a peer who\n\ncontinues the work. This approach would enable students to learn from each other's problem-solving methods. The discussion emphasized shifting from technology\n\ndesigned for individual use to technology that supports group interactions. This shift\n\ncould enhance collaboration, particularly in the context of competency-based\n\ncurricula and 21st-century skills.\n\nCollaboration in mathematics goes beyond group work; it involves students sharing\n\nand building on each other's ideas. Technologies that support this kind of interaction\n\ncan foster deeper collaboration and improve learning outcomes. Participants\n\nexplored the idea of involving students in content creation, not just as consumers.\n\nThis approach could address language barriers and content accessibility, making\n\nlearning materials more relevant and authentic. The discussions addressed the\n\nchallenge of ensuring that student feedback and answers in assessments are\n\nauthentic. Participants discussed the need for reliable electronic tools that accurately\n\nreflect students' understanding and performance.\n\nThe discussion highlights a key issue: the gap between current technology use and\n\nthe experience of educators who may not have been trained in modern tech-based\n\nteaching methods. The focus needs to be on a holistic approach that considers the\n\nentire educational system, including policymakers, educators, and students. There is\n\nan observed resistance or lack of familiarity with new methods among educators, not\n\nnecessarily due to opposition but because they have not been exposed to or trained\n\nin these modern approaches. This suggests the need for a shift in training programs\n\nfor future educators to better integrate contemporary practices. The conversation\n\nalso emphasized the importance of addressing attitudes and values in educational\n\nchange. Successful implementation of new practices, whether technology-based or\n\nnot, requires attention to the attitudes of those involved. This means incorporating\n\nthese aspects into the design and deployment of educational initiatives to ensure\n\neffective adoption and application.\n\nThere were discussions revolving around how to effectively build and sustain a\n\ncommunity around educational technologies like STACK, ensuring high adoption and\n\nongoing development. A major concern is how educators using STACK can interpret\n\nthe data analytics it provides, especially since not all users have a background in\n\nstatistics. The goal is to simplify this data so that educators, regardless of their\n\nstatistical expertise, can easily understand and apply the insights to address specific\n\nissues their students may face.\n\nThe question posed is how to make the analytics from tools like STACK more\n\naccessible and useful for educators. It is essential to explore ways to automate or\n\nsimplify the process of interpreting and sharing insights from these tools. Additionally,\n\nunderstanding how these tools impact different types of engagement-emotional,\n\ncognitive, and behavioral-is important. This includes examining whether these tools\n\naffect engagement levels differently and using this understanding to guide future\n\nimprovements. In summary, the discussion sought to address how to enhance the usability of\n\neducational tools and the analytics they provide, focusing on improving their\n\naccessibility for educators and understanding their impact on student engagement.\n\nAgain, the discussions highlighted several key issues around communication and\n\nstudent engagement in educational settings. One notable point was the impact of\n\ntransitioning to digital tools on student-instructor relationships. An example\n\nmentioned was about how a professor shared that switching to online homework\n\nsubmissions reduced their familiarity with student names, demonstrating how\n\ntechnology can affect personal interactions.\n\nDiscussions emphasized the importance of maintaining student interaction, even\n\nwhen integrating new technological tools. It was argued that while digital tools can\n\nenhance learning, they should not replace face-to-face engagement. This balance is\n\ncritical to ensuring students feel heard and supported.\n\nParticipants suggested that instead of relying on a single comprehensive tool, a suite\n\nof complementary tools might better address various educational needs. This\n\napproach allows instructors to choose the most appropriate tools for quizzes, group\n\nwork, assessments, and content delivery based on their specific class context.\n\nOne proposed strategy was using tools to foster student interaction and\n\ncollaboration, where students receive additional points for helping their peers. This\n\nmethod encourages active participation and peer support, contributing to a more\n\ndynamic learning environment.\n\nThe discussion concluded with a call for a stable, long-term platform for educators to\n\nshare and receive feedback on the effective use of technological tools. This platform\n\ncould help educators adapt and improve their teaching strategies, ensuring that\n\ntechnology enhances rather than detracts from the learning experience.\n\nDiscussions further highlighted the effectiveness of structured pedagogical activities\n\nfor teachers. By following well-designed activities step-by-step, even less\n\nexperienced teachers can see improvements in teaching and learning outcomes.\n\nHowever, this approach may limit opportunities for innovation and creativity, which\n\ncould be a drawback for confident teachers looking to enhance their sessions further.\n\nA key topic was the concept of \"collaboratively invented mathematics,\" where\n\nstudents use digital tools to collaboratively discover mathematical concepts, such as\n\nthe Taylor series. This method shifts from traditional pedagogy to a more engaging,\n\nexploratory approach, allowing students to invent mathematics that historically took\n\ncenturies to develop. There was a strong emphasis on embedding meaningful research into teaching\n\npractices. This includes designing assessments with digital tools to evaluate\n\nstudents' understanding effectively. The integration of research can inform\n\neducational innovations and improve teaching methodologies.\n\nParticipants also discussed the importance of international collaboration in\n\nmathematics education. Countries interested in adopting these innovative teaching\n\nmethods need support to integrate and implement them effectively. The potential for\n\nusing online tools to facilitate these collaborations was considered crucial for\n\nbroadening the impact of these educational innovations.\n\nIt was then concluded from this discourse that structured pedagogy can significantly\n\nimprove teaching outcomes, but there is a need to balance this with opportunities for\n\nteacher innovation. The collaborative invention of mathematics and embedding\n\nresearch into teaching practices were highlighted as promising approaches. Global\n\ncollaboration and effective implementation of these methods are essential for their\n\nsuccess.\n\nA participant had mentioned the need to discuss the positive uses of AI in teaching\n\nand its potential benefits. Participants highlighted the importance of professional\n\ndevelopment for lecturers and teachers to effectively use AI tools, including both\n\npre-service and in-service training.\n\nA concern was raised about why only a few lecturers consistently use new\n\ntechnological tools while others do not. The discussion also explored the support\n\navailable for African institutions wishing to adopt technology in teaching. Building\n\nsupport networks and fostering collaborative learning were identified as crucial\n\nelements.\n\nThe conversation noted that education systems often promote individualism over\n\ncollaboration. This mentality persists into higher education and research, making\n\ncollaboration challenging. Encouraging a culture of helping and sharing knowledge\n\nfrom a young age was seen as vital.\n\nAlso, it was mentioned that some teachers appreciated innovative teaching methods\n\nthat do not rely on technology but expressed concerns about time constraints. They\n\nfeared that creative teaching methods might reduce the amount of content covered\n\nduring class. The group questioned ways to balance innovative teaching with\n\ncurriculum requirements, aiming to inspire students to explore concepts\n\nindependently.\n\nOne issue discussed was the alignment between final exam results and outcomes\n\nfrom online assessments. The concern is whether traditional exams provide the\n\nsame results as digital formative assessments. This disparity could be an interesting research question, particularly in contexts like the Open University, where online\n\nassessments are prevalent. Understanding how long-term use of digital tools affects\n\nmathematical communication and writing could be another research avenue.\n\nA key point raised was the relationship between formative assessments and\n\ntraditional examinations. There is interest in researching how these different forms of\n\nassessment align with each other, especially if one is digitized and the other is not.\n\nThis could reveal important insights into the effectiveness and consistency of various\n\nassessment methods.\n\nAnother discussion topic was the role of digital tools in enhancing or hindering\n\nmathematical communication. The group considered how these tools impact\n\nstudents' abilities to communicate mathematical ideas effectively. There was a\n\nsuggestion to explore ways to leverage student collaboration to improve\n\ncommunication skills, potentially by rewarding students for explaining concepts to\n\npeers.\n\nThe conversation also touched on how improving collaborative learning can\n\nsimultaneously enhance mathematical communication skills. Encouraging students\n\nto work together and explain their reasoning can create a virtuous cycle of improved\n\ncommunication and understanding. This approach could be beneficial in fostering\n\nboth collaboration and competency in mathematics.\n\nFinally, participants highlighted the need to understand different levels of\n\nmathematical education. From high school students aiming for basic competency to\n\nthose pursuing careers in mathematics, it's important to consider how various tools\n\nand methods support different educational goals. This broader understanding can\n\nhelp tailor educational strategies to meet diverse student needs.\n\nThe math education researchers discussed the importance of building capacity\n\namong mathematicians who currently teach but may lack certain skills. This involves\n\nengaging more individuals in math education research beyond just the math\n\neducation researchers.\n\nParticipants considered conducting a research project aimed at improving the quality\n\nof math tasks. This includes identifying the best and worst tasks and determining\n\nwhere new tasks should be developed. Research on individual tasks can help\n\npinpoint those that are most effective. There are challenges in designing tasks for\n\ncertain areas of mathematics, such as abstract algebra and geometry. The\n\ndiscussion covered the need to create effective tasks that go beyond simple\n\ncalculations and consider the specific content of each course. An idea was proposed\n\nto identify a set of principles for designing good tasks that promote learning,\n\nregardless of the course context. For instance, out of 200 derivative problems,\n\nfinding the top 20 that best promote learning. The workshop emphasized the importance of maintaining the human element in\n\nassessments. Positive reinforcement can generate new ideas and support students\n\neffectively. One participant shared their teaching approach, which involves assigning\n\nseminar topics to groups of students. These groups work on their topics throughout\n\nthe semester and present their findings, fostering collaboration and deeper\n\nunderstanding.\n\nDuring the workshop, discussions focused on the integration of education technology\n\nand its impact on student learning. One key point raised was the need to assess\n\nwhether these technologies are genuinely beneficial or potentially harmful. Although\n\ninitial plans to collaborate with a math education researcher were not realized in\n\ntime, the intention is to pilot the technology with first-year students and conduct a\n\nfollow-up assessment in the second year.\n\nParticipants emphasized the importance of understanding the distinct roles education\n\ntechnology plays in different institutional contexts, such as CalTech versus other\n\nuniversities. This understanding is crucial for determining the effectiveness of such\n\ntechnologies in enhancing learning experiences.\n\nAnother significant idea was the implementation of longitudinal studies to track\n\nstudent progress over several years. These studies could help identify best practices\n\nand measure the long-term impact of education technologies on learning outcomes.\n\nFor example, tracking the same cohort of students through a four-year degree\n\nprogram could reveal valuable insights into their learning journeys.\n\nThe workshop also highlighted the potential to investigate specific issues, such as\n\ngender disparities in STEM fields. By comparing data from different universities and\n\ncontexts, researchers could analyze how online tools and other interventions\n\ninfluence retention rates and learning experiences for different student\n\ndemographics.\n\nIn conclusion, the discussions underscored the need for rigorous educational\n\nresearch to identify effective practices and understand how various factors influence\n\nstudent learning across different contexts.\n\nDiscussions highlighted the tendency to treat students as a homogenous group,\n\nwhich overlooks individual progress. Mary raised a point about the uniform speed of\n\nstudent progress enforced by current assessment systems. Unlike learning to drive\n\nin the UK, where individuals take their driving test when ready, school exams are\n\nscheduled uniformly for all students. This system's rigidity does not account for\n\nindividual readiness and progress. The conversation explored the potential of\n\nelectronic assessment tools to transform not only learning but also assessment\n\nsystems. The current system, rooted in historical practices, necessitates uniform\n\nexam schedules. Electronic tools, however, offer the flexibility to tailor assessments to individual progress, potentially leading to a more personalized and effective\n\neducation system.\n\nMary's quote about play sparked a discussion on the nature of compulsory\n\nparticipation. True play requires freedom-emotional, economic, and choice\n\nfreedom. Compulsory education systems often lack these freedoms, making\n\nparticipation feel forced. The group pondered whether new tools could introduce\n\nmore freedom and playfulness into learning, thereby enhancing engagement and\n\neffectiveness.\n\nThe discussion extended to the broader implications of changing educational\n\nsystems. It was suggested that learning could be more context-specific and playful,\n\nintegrating disciplines in meaningful ways. For instance, learning math through\n\nhistorical contexts could make it more relevant and engaging for students.\n\nA key concern was whether stakeholders-students, educators, institutions, and\n\nsocieties-are ready for such a transformation. The readiness in terms of attitude,\n\ncapacity, and resources was questioned, especially considering the challenges faced\n\nby educational systems in regions like Africa. The discussion concluded with a call to\n\nassess the readiness and willingness of all stakeholders to transition from traditional\n\nto technology-integrated assessments.\n\nThe workshop highlighted a critical distinction between commercial and open-source\n\nsolutions, particularly concerning future cost implications. Participants debated\n\nwhether the focus should be on Open Access or open-source terms, considering\n\ntheir impact on accessibility and contribution rights.\n\nA key point raised was the risk of relying on commercial software that might become\n\ncostly or inaccessible if terms change. In contrast, open-source software offers more\n\nstability and control, allowing modifications and reducing dependency on external\n\nvendors.\n\nThe discussion also touched on the need to understand how open-source principles\n\ncould inform educational software choices. The idea is to draw from the open\n\ncommunity's experiences to determine what makes software truly open and\n\nsustainable.\n\nParticipants expressed interest in identifying qualifying criteria for evaluating different\n\nsoftware options. The upcoming sessions will aim to clarify these criteria, explore\n\nalternative platforms, and discuss their functionalities to make informed decisions.\n\nOverall, there is a call to explore how open-source and open-access principles can\n\nbetter serve educational institutions and to determine the most suitable approach\n\nbased on their needs and trade-offs. Another discussion highlighted the tension between competitive academic systems\n\nand the need for collaboration. There is a concern about how to foster collaboration\n\nfrom a young age within a system that traditionally emphasizes competition. This\n\nraises questions about how competitive academic structures can adapt to support\n\ncollaborative learning.\n\nIt was noted that shifting teaching approaches might not require technology but a\n\nchange from a strict curriculum focus. Teachers accustomed to curriculum-based\n\ninstruction may struggle to integrate new methods. The question arises whether\n\nthese new approaches can fit within the existing curriculum or if they require a\n\ncomplete overhaul.\n\nThe conversation addressed the need to adapt digital tools for students with special\n\nneeds. Ensuring that digital educational resources are accessible to all learners is\n\ncrucial, and there is interest in how these tools can be modified to meet the needs of\n\nindividuals with disabilities.\n\nA question was raised about whether students could receive certification for\n\ncompleting modules from open educational resources outside traditional institutions.\n\nThis discussion explores the potential for recognizing and certifying informal or\n\nself-directed learning experiences.\n\nRecent evidence suggests that structured pedagogy, which includes detailed lesson\n\nplans and specific instructional strategies, improves teaching and learning at\n\nfoundational levels. The inquiry is whether similar structured approaches could\n\nenhance education at higher levels, combining structured methods with more\n\nadvanced pedagogical strategies.\n\nThe discussion highlighted the importance of exploring alternative assessment\n\nmethods beyond digital tools. Emphasis was placed on incorporating human\n\ninteractions and experiences, which are often difficult to quantify. These\n\nassessments should inspire and motivate rather than merely evaluate.\n\nThere is a need for online tools that not only assess but also engage and inspire\n\nusers. This involves considering how institutions can be involved in data sharing\n\nagreements and fostering better engagement at an institutional level, rather than\n\nfocusing solely on individuals.\n\nAs the session concluded, there was a brief discussion on record-keeping and the\n\nneed for capturing high-speed data. The final points stressed were the importance of\n\nintegrating motivational aspects into assessments and the need for institutional\n\ninvolvement in data sharing.\n\nThe workshop aims to explore and develop a variety of significant and\n\nwell-considered ideas. Participants will engage in open-ended discussions and collaborative activities to refine these ideas. The goal is to convert these ideas into\n\nactionable projects, such as grant proposals or collaborative efforts.\n\nThe moderators and organizers will review the collected ideas and organize them\n\ninto key topics for group discussions scheduled for tomorrow. This process will\n\ninvolve multiple cycles of group work to generate viable projects.\n\nBy the end of the workshop, participants are expected to develop detailed plans and\n\npotential projects. However, given the scope of the topics, the workshop will primarily\n\nserve as a starting point, with continued work beyond the event.\n\nParticipants should use the current session to propose and refine ideas they are\n\ninterested in. The workshop will provide a foundation for future collaboration, with the\n\nunderstanding that comprehensive solutions will evolve over time.\n\nA report summarizing the workshop outcomes will be available, detailing the\n\nproposed topics and next steps. Participants are encouraged to bring forward any\n\nnew ideas or questions they have.", "public_statement": "40. Engaging institutions\n\nSummarized Notes\n\nEducational Tools and Open Source vs. Commercial Solutions\n\nThe workshop began with a discussion on educational tools like STACK and\n\nWebWork, debating whether to focus exclusively on open-source tools. Participants\n\ndistinguished between open-source tools, which can be modified, and freely\n\navailable tools, which are not editable. They recognized that while open-source tools\n\noffer control over long-term costs, they still incur expenses related to servers and\n\nexpertise. The focus was on ensuring that tools are not only available but also\n\neffectively implemented with proper training and support.\n\nImplementation and Effectiveness\n\nThere was a consensus that the success of educational tools depends on their\n\nimplementation rather than the tools themselves. Effective use requires thoughtful\n\nintegration into the curriculum, considering usability and user community. The\n\ndiscussion highlighted that diverse assessment methods are needed, and merely\n\nproviding tools is not sufficient; critical thinking and training are essential.\n\nCollaborative Problem-Solving and Tool Adaptation\n\nParticipants explored the potential of tools designed for collaborative\n\nproblem-solving, suggesting that students should be able to pass problems to peers\n\nfor continued work. They emphasized the need for technologies that support group\n\ninteractions and improve collaborative learning. Additionally, the importance of\n\nadapting tools based on user feedback and ensuring they meet the needs of diverse\n\nlearners was highlighted.\n\nAssessment and Data Utilization\n\nThe workshop addressed the role of assessments in evaluating student learning,\n\ndiscussing both intrinsic assessments (where task completion itself verifies correctness) and traditional evaluations. The need for research on the alignment\n\nbetween digital and traditional assessments was noted, as well as the importance of\n\nintegrating meaningful research into teaching practices. Participants stressed the\n\nnecessity of understanding how digital tools affect student engagement and learning\n\noutcomes.\n\nCultural and Contextual Considerations\n\nParticipants discussed the cultural aspect of mathematics education, emphasizing\n\nthe need to make math relatable and engaging through real-world scenarios. The\n\nconversation also covered the importance of contextualizing online assessments to\n\naddress language and cultural differences, and how hybrid methods combining\n\ntraditional and technological tools could be beneficial.\n\nProfessional Development and Collaboration\n\nThe discussion included the need for professional development in using AI and other\n\ntechnological tools in education. Participants noted the challenges faced by\n\neducators in adopting new methods and stressed the importance of fostering a\n\ncollaborative culture in education. Building support networks and addressing\n\nattitudes towards new practices were identified as crucial for effective\n\nimplementation.\n\nFuture Directions and Research Needs\n\nThe workshop concluded with a call for further research into the effectiveness of\n\neducational tools and assessment methods. Participants discussed the need for\n\nlongitudinal studies, exploring the impact of technology on different educational\n\ncontexts and demographics. They also highlighted the importance of international\n\ncollaboration and the need for ongoing evaluation and refinement of educational\n\nstrategies.\n\nThe workshop aimed to refine ideas into actionable projects and proposals, with a\n\nfocus on future collaboration and continued development of educational practices\n\nand tools.\n\nFully Transcripted Notes\n\nDiscussion started with highlighting the two primary tools (STACK and Web work)\n\nbut questioned the potential for multiple tools to address challenges in education. The group considered whether to focus on open source tools exclusively and if open\n\nsource should be a qualifying criterion.\n\nThere was a discussion about the distinction between open source tools, which allow\n\nfor code modification, and freely available tools, which may not be editable. The\n\ngroup aimed to clarify whether \"open\" means free to use or also includes the ability\n\nto edit and customize the tool.\n\nThe total cost of ownership for open source tools was addressed, noting that despite\n\nbeing free to use, they require servers and expertise, which can be expensive. It was\n\nacknowledged that while open source tools offer control over long-term costs, they\n\nare not completely free, and these costs must be considered by policymakers.\n\nThere was a focus on the feasibility and impact of educational interventions,\n\nparticularly the use of online tools and assessments. A key point raised by Chris\n\nhighlighted the challenge of ensuring these tools are responsive to students' learning\n\nneeds and attainment levels. He suggested that the way we use these tools, rather\n\nthan the tools themselves, significantly affects their outcomes.\n\nIt was emphasized that the tool's effectiveness depends on its implementation and\n\nthe policies guiding its use. There was a consensus that simply providing the tools is\n\ninsufficient; critical thinking and training on their use are essential.\n\nTwo main themes emerged: adoption and implementation. Adoption refers to\n\nwhether the tool is used or not, while implementation concerns how the tool is used.\n\nEffective implementation requires considering the theoretical foundations,\n\nuser-friendliness, and the community of users.\n\nParticipants agreed that technology should be designed to adapt based on feedback\n\nand be supported with appropriate training and resources. The discussion\n\nunderscored the need for a comprehensive approach that considers curriculum\n\nviews, software usability, and the user community.\n\nIt was highlighted that it isn't solely about open source but rather the cost of use\n\nand the implications of maintaining and supporting these tools. The importance of\n\nconsidering both immediate and long-term costs was emphasized for effective\n\ndecision-making in educational contexts.\n\nFurthermore, there was a discussion on the integration of lectureship positions with\n\ncurriculum design, emphasizing the importance of creating transferable resources.\n\nThe idea is to develop open-source course packs, such as those for linear algebra,\n\nthat instructors can download and use. These resources should not only be\n\nwell-packaged for use but also designed for sharing and community collaboration,\n\nallowing for feedback and continuous improvement. A key point raised was the need for a two-way conversation in resource sharing.\n\nInstead of a top-down approach, where a package is distributed for everyone to use,\n\nthe focus should be on building a collaborative loop. This involves educators\n\ncontributing to and refining shared resources.\n\nAdditionally, the workshop highlighted the challenge of authoring questions, which is\n\ntime-consuming for educators. There was a discussion about the interoperability of\n\neducational content across different learning systems. This includes the potential for\n\nimporting and adapting course materials from one platform to another, ensuring that\n\ncontent is reusable and efficient.\n\nThere was a call for both technological and community-based solutions to facilitate\n\nthe sharing of educational resources. The goal is to improve the quality and volume\n\nof shared content, thereby saving time and enhancing the overall educational\n\nexperience.\n\nAnother discussion on accessing education data emerged and emphasized the\n\nimportance of tailoring educational tools and data collection to different contexts to\n\nmotivate learners effectively. This contextual approach ensures that data is\n\nrepresentative of diverse environments, aiding in comprehensive analysis.\n\nParticipants highlighted the need for large datasets to train effective models.\n\nCollaboration with institutions is essential to gather socio-demographic information,\n\nwhich can enhance the utility of data for various purposes. A key question raised was\n\nthe broader objectives of collecting combined data sets and the types of questions\n\nsuch data could help answer.\n\nOne significant barrier to technology adoption in education is the lack of adaptability\n\nto individual learner levels. Technologies often fail to identify specific areas where\n\nstudents struggle, unlike human teachers who can provide personalized guidance.\n\nAddressing this gap could involve using data to adapt educational technologies to\n\nmeet individual learning needs more effectively.\n\nOverall, the discussion underscored the necessity of actionable data to identify and\n\naddress learning gaps, enhancing the adaptability of educational tools to support\n\nstudent success.\n\nThe concept of intrinsic assessment was discussed, particularly in the context of\n\nproblem-solving and modeling activities. Intrinsic assessment occurs when the\n\ncompletion of a task inherently demonstrates its correctness. For instance, in coding,\n\nthe functionality of the code serves as its own assessment-if it works, it meets the\n\nrequired standards. This self-assessing nature is valuable but should be one of many\n\ntools in an educational portfolio. Discussion on authenticity and functionality highlighted that for an artifact to be\n\nconsidered authentic, it must function correctly. This idea challenges the traditional\n\n\"us versus them\" model of assessment, where an external party evaluates the work.\n\nInstead, the artifact's ability to perform its intended function serves as a measure of\n\nits authenticity and correctness.\n\nBroadening assessment tools discussions underscored the importance of having a\n\ndiverse set of assessment tools. Intrinsic assessments, while valuable, cannot stand\n\nalone. Educators should incorporate various methods to ensure comprehensive\n\nevaluation and support student learning.\n\nThere was also a discussion on the need to research the effectiveness of new\n\neducational tools, such as STACK, in enhancing student learning. Concerns were\n\nraised about potential unintended consequences of these innovations. It was\n\nsuggested that thorough testing and research are necessary to understand their\n\nimpact fully and to address any negative outcomes.\n\nThe interaction between students and educational tools was another key topic. The\n\nimportance of structured time and focused engagement was emphasized to prevent\n\nstudents from rushing through tasks without understanding. The debate about the\n\nquality of online math practice compared to traditional methods was also addressed,\n\nwith suggestions that research could help validate the effectiveness of online tools.\n\nThere was a consensus on the need for diverse assessment methods, careful\n\nimplementation of educational innovations, and thorough research to ensure these\n\ntools positively impact student learning. The discussions highlighted the complexities\n\nof modern education and the necessity of a multifaceted approach to teaching and\n\nassessment.\n\nIncorporating math education research at the development stage of technologies can\n\nprovide valuable feedback to improve teaching and learning. One key area needing\n\nresearch is the development of teachers' content knowledge. For instance,\n\nunderstanding how to effectively teach fractions and identifying common student\n\nmistakes can be challenging. Technology can help by collecting and analyzing data\n\non student performance, which can then be used to inform teacher training and\n\nimprove instructional methods.\n\nIn the Kenyan context, the shift from a summative to a formative assessment\n\napproach under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) highlights the need for\n\nbetter utilization of assessment data. By analyzing data from formative assessments,\n\nthe government can provide feedback to teachers, helping them address specific\n\nareas of student weakness. This approach can enhance both individual and national\n\neducation outcomes. Research should also focus on the specific features of assessment tools that support\n\nstudent engagement with mathematical ideas. Understanding how feedback is\n\nstructured and presented can be crucial. Qualitative research, such as interviewing\n\nstudents about their experiences, can provide insights into what supports or hinders\n\ntheir learning. This information can guide the design of more effective feedback\n\nmechanisms, ultimately improving student learning outcomes.\n\nOnline assessments often fail to connect with students due to contextual differences.\n\nOne significant issue is the language used in these assessments, which is\n\npredominantly English. The expectations for how responses should be input can be a\n\nbarrier, especially if the student's way of expressing themselves isn't aligned with\n\nconventional standards. Educators who know their students well can often infer their\n\nintended meaning, but this nuance is lost in automated online assessments.\n\nThere is a need to explore ways to bridge this gap and make online assessments\n\nmore context-sensitive. One suggestion is to incorporate tools that allow for some\n\nlevel of interpretation or personalization based on the student's context. Additionally,\n\ninnovative approaches to teaching and assessment that consider the specific context\n\nand needs of students should be developed. Hybrid methods combining traditional\n\nand technological tools could be beneficial.\n\nMathematics should not just be viewed as a subject but as a cultural element that\n\ninfluences various professions. The discussion highlighted that individuals exposed\n\nto mathematical thinking from an early age tend to excel in their fields, even if those\n\nfields are not directly related to mathematics. This cultural aspect of mathematics\n\nhelps individuals develop better problem-solving skills and analytical thinking, which\n\nare valuable in any profession.\n\nThe example of using a golf ball to teach mathematics illustrates the importance of\n\nmaking math relatable and applicable to real-world scenarios. This approach can\n\nchange students' perceptions of mathematics and make it more engaging and\n\nrelevant to their lives and future careers.\n\nDiscussions here emphasized the importance of contextualizing online assessments,\n\nusing hybrid methods, and promoting the cultural aspects of mathematics to enhance\n\nlearning outcomes. These strategies can help bridge the gap between students'\n\nunderstanding and conventional assessment methods, ultimately fostering a deeper\n\nappreciation and proficiency in mathematics.\n\nParticipants discussed the potential of designing educational tools that facilitate\n\ncollaborative problem-solving. One idea presented was a tool allowing students to\n\nstart solving a problem individually and, if they get stuck, pass it on to a peer who\n\ncontinues the work. This approach would enable students to learn from each other's problem-solving methods. The discussion emphasized shifting from technology\n\ndesigned for individual use to technology that supports group interactions. This shift\n\ncould enhance collaboration, particularly in the context of competency-based\n\ncurricula and 21st-century skills.\n\nCollaboration in mathematics goes beyond group work; it involves students sharing\n\nand building on each other's ideas. Technologies that support this kind of interaction\n\ncan foster deeper collaboration and improve learning outcomes. Participants\n\nexplored the idea of involving students in content creation, not just as consumers.\n\nThis approach could address language barriers and content accessibility, making\n\nlearning materials more relevant and authentic. The discussions addressed the\n\nchallenge of ensuring that student feedback and answers in assessments are\n\nauthentic. Participants discussed the need for reliable electronic tools that accurately\n\nreflect students' understanding and performance.\n\nThe discussion highlights a key issue: the gap between current technology use and\n\nthe experience of educators who may not have been trained in modern tech-based\n\nteaching methods. The focus needs to be on a holistic approach that considers the\n\nentire educational system, including policymakers, educators, and students. There is\n\nan observed resistance or lack of familiarity with new methods among educators, not\n\nnecessarily due to opposition but because they have not been exposed to or trained\n\nin these modern approaches. This suggests the need for a shift in training programs\n\nfor future educators to better integrate contemporary practices. The conversation\n\nalso emphasized the importance of addressing attitudes and values in educational\n\nchange. Successful implementation of new practices, whether technology-based or\n\nnot, requires attention to the attitudes of those involved. This means incorporating\n\nthese aspects into the design and deployment of educational initiatives to ensure\n\neffective adoption and application.\n\nThere were discussions revolving around how to effectively build and sustain a\n\ncommunity around educational technologies like STACK, ensuring high adoption and\n\nongoing development. A major concern is how educators using STACK can interpret\n\nthe data analytics it provides, especially since not all users have a background in\n\nstatistics. The goal is to simplify this data so that educators, regardless of their\n\nstatistical expertise, can easily understand and apply the insights to address specific\n\nissues their students may face.\n\nThe question posed is how to make the analytics from tools like STACK more\n\naccessible and useful for educators. It is essential to explore ways to automate or\n\nsimplify the process of interpreting and sharing insights from these tools. Additionally,\n\nunderstanding how these tools impact different types of engagement-emotional,\n\ncognitive, and behavioral-is important. This includes examining whether these tools\n\naffect engagement levels differently and using this understanding to guide future\n\nimprovements. In summary, the discussion sought to address how to enhance the usability of\n\neducational tools and the analytics they provide, focusing on improving their\n\naccessibility for educators and understanding their impact on student engagement.\n\nAgain, the discussions highlighted several key issues around communication and\n\nstudent engagement in educational settings. One notable point was the impact of\n\ntransitioning to digital tools on student-instructor relationships. An example\n\nmentioned was about how a professor shared that switching to online homework\n\nsubmissions reduced their familiarity with student names, demonstrating how\n\ntechnology can affect personal interactions.\n\nDiscussions emphasized the importance of maintaining student interaction, even\n\nwhen integrating new technological tools. It was argued that while digital tools can\n\nenhance learning, they should not replace face-to-face engagement. This balance is\n\ncritical to ensuring students feel heard and supported.\n\nParticipants suggested that instead of relying on a single comprehensive tool, a suite\n\nof complementary tools might better address various educational needs. This\n\napproach allows instructors to choose the most appropriate tools for quizzes, group\n\nwork, assessments, and content delivery based on their specific class context.\n\nOne proposed strategy was using tools to foster student interaction and\n\ncollaboration, where students receive additional points for helping their peers. This\n\nmethod encourages active participation and peer support, contributing to a more\n\ndynamic learning environment.\n\nThe discussion concluded with a call for a stable, long-term platform for educators to\n\nshare and receive feedback on the effective use of technological tools. This platform\n\ncould help educators adapt and improve their teaching strategies, ensuring that\n\ntechnology enhances rather than detracts from the learning experience.\n\nDiscussions further highlighted the effectiveness of structured pedagogical activities\n\nfor teachers. By following well-designed activities step-by-step, even less\n\nexperienced teachers can see improvements in teaching and learning outcomes.\n\nHowever, this approach may limit opportunities for innovation and creativity, which\n\ncould be a drawback for confident teachers looking to enhance their sessions further.\n\nA key topic was the concept of \"collaboratively invented mathematics,\" where\n\nstudents use digital tools to collaboratively discover mathematical concepts, such as\n\nthe Taylor series. This method shifts from traditional pedagogy to a more engaging,\n\nexploratory approach, allowing students to invent mathematics that historically took\n\ncenturies to develop. There was a strong emphasis on embedding meaningful research into teaching\n\npractices. This includes designing assessments with digital tools to evaluate\n\nstudents' understanding effectively. The integration of research can inform\n\neducational innovations and improve teaching methodologies.\n\nParticipants also discussed the importance of international collaboration in\n\nmathematics education. Countries interested in adopting these innovative teaching\n\nmethods need support to integrate and implement them effectively. The potential for\n\nusing online tools to facilitate these collaborations was considered crucial for\n\nbroadening the impact of these educational innovations.\n\nIt was then concluded from this discourse that structured pedagogy can significantly\n\nimprove teaching outcomes, but there is a need to balance this with opportunities for\n\nteacher innovation. The collaborative invention of mathematics and embedding\n\nresearch into teaching practices were highlighted as promising approaches. Global\n\ncollaboration and effective implementation of these methods are essential for their\n\nsuccess.\n\nA participant had mentioned the need to discuss the positive uses of AI in teaching\n\nand its potential benefits. Participants highlighted the importance of professional\n\ndevelopment for lecturers and teachers to effectively use AI tools, including both\n\npre-service and in-service training.\n\nA concern was raised about why only a few lecturers consistently use new\n\ntechnological tools while others do not. The discussion also explored the support\n\navailable for African institutions wishing to adopt technology in teaching. Building\n\nsupport networks and fostering collaborative learning were identified as crucial\n\nelements.\n\nThe conversation noted that education systems often promote individualism over\n\ncollaboration. This mentality persists into higher education and research, making\n\ncollaboration challenging. Encouraging a culture of helping and sharing knowledge\n\nfrom a young age was seen as vital.\n\nAlso, it was mentioned that some teachers appreciated innovative teaching methods\n\nthat do not rely on technology but expressed concerns about time constraints. They\n\nfeared that creative teaching methods might reduce the amount of content covered\n\nduring class. The group questioned ways to balance innovative teaching with\n\ncurriculum requirements, aiming to inspire students to explore concepts\n\nindependently.\n\nOne issue discussed was the alignment between final exam results and outcomes\n\nfrom online assessments. The concern is whether traditional exams provide the\n\nsame results as digital formative assessments. This disparity could be an interesting research question, particularly in contexts like the Open University, where online\n\nassessments are prevalent. Understanding how long-term use of digital tools affects\n\nmathematical communication and writing could be another research avenue.\n\nA key point raised was the relationship between formative assessments and\n\ntraditional examinations. There is interest in researching how these different forms of\n\nassessment align with each other, especially if one is digitized and the other is not.\n\nThis could reveal important insights into the effectiveness and consistency of various\n\nassessment methods.\n\nAnother discussion topic was the role of digital tools in enhancing or hindering\n\nmathematical communication. The group considered how these tools impact\n\nstudents' abilities to communicate mathematical ideas effectively. There was a\n\nsuggestion to explore ways to leverage student collaboration to improve\n\ncommunication skills, potentially by rewarding students for explaining concepts to\n\npeers.\n\nThe conversation also touched on how improving collaborative learning can\n\nsimultaneously enhance mathematical communication skills. Encouraging students\n\nto work together and explain their reasoning can create a virtuous cycle of improved\n\ncommunication and understanding. This approach could be beneficial in fostering\n\nboth collaboration and competency in mathematics.\n\nFinally, participants highlighted the need to understand different levels of\n\nmathematical education. From high school students aiming for basic competency to\n\nthose pursuing careers in mathematics, it's important to consider how various tools\n\nand methods support different educational goals. This broader understanding can\n\nhelp tailor educational strategies to meet diverse student needs.\n\nThe math education researchers discussed the importance of building capacity\n\namong mathematicians who currently teach but may lack certain skills. This involves\n\nengaging more individuals in math education research beyond just the math\n\neducation researchers.\n\nParticipants considered conducting a research project aimed at improving the quality\n\nof math tasks. This includes identifying the best and worst tasks and determining\n\nwhere new tasks should be developed. Research on individual tasks can help\n\npinpoint those that are most effective. There are challenges in designing tasks for\n\ncertain areas of mathematics, such as abstract algebra and geometry. The\n\ndiscussion covered the need to create effective tasks that go beyond simple\n\ncalculations and consider the specific content of each course. An idea was proposed\n\nto identify a set of principles for designing good tasks that promote learning,\n\nregardless of the course context. For instance, out of 200 derivative problems,\n\nfinding the top 20 that best promote learning. The workshop emphasized the importance of maintaining the human element in\n\nassessments. Positive reinforcement can generate new ideas and support students\n\neffectively. One participant shared their teaching approach, which involves assigning\n\nseminar topics to groups of students. These groups work on their topics throughout\n\nthe semester and present their findings, fostering collaboration and deeper\n\nunderstanding.\n\nDuring the workshop, discussions focused on the integration of education technology\n\nand its impact on student learning. One key point raised was the need to assess\n\nwhether these technologies are genuinely beneficial or potentially harmful. Although\n\ninitial plans to collaborate with a math education researcher were not realized in\n\ntime, the intention is to pilot the technology with first-year students and conduct a\n\nfollow-up assessment in the second year.\n\nParticipants emphasized the importance of understanding the distinct roles education\n\ntechnology plays in different institutional contexts, such as CalTech versus other\n\nuniversities. This understanding is crucial for determining the effectiveness of such\n\ntechnologies in enhancing learning experiences.\n\nAnother significant idea was the implementation of longitudinal studies to track\n\nstudent progress over several years. These studies could help identify best practices\n\nand measure the long-term impact of education technologies on learning outcomes.\n\nFor example, tracking the same cohort of students through a four-year degree\n\nprogram could reveal valuable insights into their learning journeys.\n\nThe workshop also highlighted the potential to investigate specific issues, such as\n\ngender disparities in STEM fields. By comparing data from different universities and\n\ncontexts, researchers could analyze how online tools and other interventions\n\ninfluence retention rates and learning experiences for different student\n\ndemographics.\n\nIn conclusion, the discussions underscored the need for rigorous educational\n\nresearch to identify effective practices and understand how various factors influence\n\nstudent learning across different contexts.\n\nDiscussions highlighted the tendency to treat students as a homogenous group,\n\nwhich overlooks individual progress. Mary raised a point about the uniform speed of\n\nstudent progress enforced by current assessment systems. Unlike learning to drive\n\nin the UK, where individuals take their driving test when ready, school exams are\n\nscheduled uniformly for all students. This system's rigidity does not account for\n\nindividual readiness and progress. The conversation explored the potential of\n\nelectronic assessment tools to transform not only learning but also assessment\n\nsystems. The current system, rooted in historical practices, necessitates uniform\n\nexam schedules. Electronic tools, however, offer the flexibility to tailor assessments to individual progress, potentially leading to a more personalized and effective\n\neducation system.\n\nMary's quote about play sparked a discussion on the nature of compulsory\n\nparticipation. True play requires freedom-emotional, economic, and choice\n\nfreedom. Compulsory education systems often lack these freedoms, making\n\nparticipation feel forced. The group pondered whether new tools could introduce\n\nmore freedom and playfulness into learning, thereby enhancing engagement and\n\neffectiveness.\n\nThe discussion extended to the broader implications of changing educational\n\nsystems. It was suggested that learning could be more context-specific and playful,\n\nintegrating disciplines in meaningful ways. For instance, learning math through\n\nhistorical contexts could make it more relevant and engaging for students.\n\nA key concern was whether stakeholders-students, educators, institutions, and\n\nsocieties-are ready for such a transformation. The readiness in terms of attitude,\n\ncapacity, and resources was questioned, especially considering the challenges faced\n\nby educational systems in regions like Africa. The discussion concluded with a call to\n\nassess the readiness and willingness of all stakeholders to transition from traditional\n\nto technology-integrated assessments.\n\nThe workshop highlighted a critical distinction between commercial and open-source\n\nsolutions, particularly concerning future cost implications. Participants debated\n\nwhether the focus should be on Open Access or open-source terms, considering\n\ntheir impact on accessibility and contribution rights.\n\nA key point raised was the risk of relying on commercial software that might become\n\ncostly or inaccessible if terms change. In contrast, open-source software offers more\n\nstability and control, allowing modifications and reducing dependency on external\n\nvendors.\n\nThe discussion also touched on the need to understand how open-source principles\n\ncould inform educational software choices. The idea is to draw from the open\n\ncommunity's experiences to determine what makes software truly open and\n\nsustainable.\n\nParticipants expressed interest in identifying qualifying criteria for evaluating different\n\nsoftware options. The upcoming sessions will aim to clarify these criteria, explore\n\nalternative platforms, and discuss their functionalities to make informed decisions.\n\nOverall, there is a call to explore how open-source and open-access principles can\n\nbetter serve educational institutions and to determine the most suitable approach\n\nbased on their needs and trade-offs. Another discussion highlighted the tension between competitive academic systems\n\nand the need for collaboration. There is a concern about how to foster collaboration\n\nfrom a young age within a system that traditionally emphasizes competition. This\n\nraises questions about how competitive academic structures can adapt to support\n\ncollaborative learning.\n\nIt was noted that shifting teaching approaches might not require technology but a\n\nchange from a strict curriculum focus. Teachers accustomed to curriculum-based\n\ninstruction may struggle to integrate new methods. The question arises whether\n\nthese new approaches can fit within the existing curriculum or if they require a\n\ncomplete overhaul.\n\nThe conversation addressed the need to adapt digital tools for students with special\n\nneeds. Ensuring that digital educational resources are accessible to all learners is\n\ncrucial, and there is interest in how these tools can be modified to meet the needs of\n\nindividuals with disabilities.\n\nA question was raised about whether students could receive certification for\n\ncompleting modules from open educational resources outside traditional institutions.\n\nThis discussion explores the potential for recognizing and certifying informal or\n\nself-directed learning experiences.\n\nRecent evidence suggests that structured pedagogy, which includes detailed lesson\n\nplans and specific instructional strategies, improves teaching and learning at\n\nfoundational levels. The inquiry is whether similar structured approaches could\n\nenhance education at higher levels, combining structured methods with more\n\nadvanced pedagogical strategies.\n\nThe discussion highlighted the importance of exploring alternative assessment\n\nmethods beyond digital tools. Emphasis was placed on incorporating human\n\ninteractions and experiences, which are often difficult to quantify. These\n\nassessments should inspire and motivate rather than merely evaluate.\n\nThere is a need for online tools that not only assess but also engage and inspire\n\nusers. This involves considering how institutions can be involved in data sharing\n\nagreements and fostering better engagement at an institutional level, rather than\n\nfocusing solely on individuals.\n\nAs the session concluded, there was a brief discussion on record-keeping and the\n\nneed for capturing high-speed data. The final points stressed were the importance of\n\nintegrating motivational aspects into assessments and the need for institutional\n\ninvolvement in data sharing.\n\nThe workshop aims to explore and develop a variety of significant and\n\nwell-considered ideas. Participants will engage in open-ended discussions and collaborative activities to refine these ideas. The goal is to convert these ideas into\n\nactionable projects, such as grant proposals or collaborative efforts.\n\nThe moderators and organizers will review the collected ideas and organize them\n\ninto key topics for group discussions scheduled for tomorrow. This process will\n\ninvolve multiple cycles of group work to generate viable projects.\n\nBy the end of the workshop, participants are expected to develop detailed plans and\n\npotential projects. However, given the scope of the topics, the workshop will primarily\n\nserve as a starting point, with continued work beyond the event.\n\nParticipants should use the current session to propose and refine ideas they are\n\ninterested in. The workshop will provide a foundation for future collaboration, with the\n\nunderstanding that comprehensive solutions will evolve over time.\n\nA report summarizing the workshop outcomes will be available, detailing the\n\nproposed topics and next steps.

While discussion and self-report of experienced IBL instructors suggests that these strategies are diverse, we hypothesize that the diverse strategies are used to accomplish a more universal set of goals. We pro-pose a study of these teaching moves, their purposes, and their efficacy through qualitative observation of IBL classrooms. We anticipate doing so by identifying key points in which faculty make explicit moves to create and sustain a desirable classroom culture before con-ducting faculty and student interviews around video clips of such events. Eliciting student interpretation of such events and how they arise to breaches of the intended classroom ex-pectations, we anticipate being able to learn about students understanding and adoption of these expectations for learning. \n\n• Video record early classes and then a sampling later in the semester. \n\n• Attend to initial solicitation for buy in to IBL and then to breaches of classroom contract that are negotiated. 3\n\n• Conduct member check interviews for instructor and student interpretations of class-room expectations and the justification for/sources of such expectations. It was proposed to measure student perceptions twice per semester, possibly after 4 and 12 weeks (based upon IBL instructors experiences of the recurrent progression of students affective responses in such courses). \n\n• Possible student questioning strategy: If you could choose how classroom time is spent in the mathematics course you are taking, what percentage of the time would you spend on: professor lecture, student presentations, group work on challenging problems, etc? \n\n• We assume many students will come into an IBL real analysis course with a baseline set of expectations informed by traditional mathematics instruction in which students attempt tasks after receiving relevant direct instruction, students are assessed on private work without publishing student work to other students, and the professor and textbook are the primary sources of new mathematics in the class. IBL is taken to entail the expectation that students attempt proof tasks for which they have not received direct instruction, students present their own work to the class for evaluation, and that students author new mathematical content into the classroom. \n\n• Relevant categories we anticipate may arise in the study: \n\n- Legitimizing failure (or linking success to hard work and repeated attempts) \n\n- Soliciting buy in to the alternative classroom expectations \n\n- Negotiating classroom expectations (of students and teacher) \n\n- Endorsing standards for acceptable proof \n\n- Curtailing undesirable mathematical practices \n\n• We anticipate observing IBL instructors of various levels of experience. Novice in-structors might provide more opportunity to identify breaches and difficulties that require intervention. Observing experienced IBL instructors will aide in identifying successful strategies, since documenting and publishing such strategies is an impor-tant research product. \n\nLearning through proof presentations. The overarching goal of this investigation is to under-stand what students learn in IBL courses when listening to peer proof presentations. Two relevant hypotheses were identified: \n\nHypothesis 1: Students learn more from proof presentations in an IBL course because they have already attempted the proof tasks before seeing the completed solution. \n\nHypothesis 2: Students learn more from proof presentations in an IBL course because they pay closer attention to find and identify mistakes, which may depend upon how student listening is guided by the instructor. We propose two possibly independent studies for these two hypotheses. \n\nResearch Questions:", "clean_statement": "(1) What strategies do IBL instructors use to create and sustain an appropriate classroom culture in IBL real analysis courses?

While discussion and self-report of experienced IBL instructors suggests that these strategies are diverse, we hypothesize that the diverse strategies are used to accomplish a more universal set of goals. We pro-pose a study of these teaching moves, their purposes, and their efficacy through qualitative observation of IBL classrooms.

To that end, we wish to more carefully examine the benefits of Modified Moore Method courses to strong students. By \"strong\" students we mean those students that are either hard-working and diligent, or talented and smart, or both. Below we propose some possible proxy measures for these traits. Thus far we have put together two possible approaches: (1) We wish to compare the effect of MMM vs. lecture-based instruction upon strong students. (2) We wish to examine high-achieving students (after becoming informed by our previous transformation study), and accomplish a similar goal of describing developmental categories at a higher resolution for this group of students. In order to investigate this pair of research questions, it will first be necessary to determine the following: (1) How are strong incoming freshmen best identified? (Perhaps by high school grades? SAT grades? Other?) (2) How is realization of potential by college graduates who declared a mathematics major best measured? (Perhaps by completion of a mathematics degree after declaring the major? By taking mathematics courses or doing individualized work in mathematics beyond the requirements for the degree? By acceptance to graduate school? By individual testimony? Other?) There are many ways achievement of potential could be manifest. The study will rely on identifying ways that are practical to measure. Once satisfactory metrics have been identified and described, the study may be carried out in the following steps: (1) Institutions will be identified which have mathematics courses that are taught some-times by MMM and sometimes in a traditional, lecture-based format. (2) For those institutions, records will be gathered of recent graduates who had at some point declared a mathematics major. (3) From those records, students who qualify as \"strong\" will be selected. (4) From the selected students, two groups will be formed. One group will consist of those who had taken the most MMM courses, and the other will consist of those who had taken the most lecture-based courses. (5) Data on realization of potential will then be analyzed and used to compare MMM-students with lecture-based-students. The investigation of research questions 3 and 4 above will be informed by our planned \"Exploratory Study of Student Development Under the Modified Moore Method\". That study will describe student developmental categories and describe how students advance through these categories. We wish to build on that study by examining the highest-achieving 8\n\ncategory in greater resolution. That is, how can we explain and describe student development in a MMM course within the highest-achieving category? \n\nProblem sequences & learning trajectories. Intellectual cross-training. \n\nResearch Question: When interweaving content areas within a problem sequence, what are the impacts on students success, conceptual development, relationships between related concepts, their images of the roles of definitions and theorems, and equivalence of approaches? \n\nAbstract: IBL Real Analysis instructors often interweave problems on different concepts rather than treating each concept independently. We propose to study whether doing so increases the odds of success for individual students and, if so, why. Perhaps having prob-lems spanning multiple concepts on which to work each evening allows students to make connections between these concepts thereby increasing the students' understanding of each concept as well as the interplay between them. What is an optimal amount of interweaving? We illustrate the phenomena we wish to study via two examples. (1) An instructor might alternate, within a problem sequence, problems related to limit points and problems related to sequences prior to stating a problem that ties the two concepts together, such as every infinite bounded sequence has a limit point. (2) An instructor might have problems intertwined between continuity and differentia-bility, with the concluding problem being to prove that every differentiable function is continuous. \n\nStrategic Walls. \n\nResearch Question: How does an instructor create an adequate number of conjec-tures that will effectively demonstrate students need for mathematical need for proof in order to verify or invalidate their intuition? What are the features and timing of these conjectures for optimal effectiveness? \n\nAbstract: Pedagogical conjecturing activities are intended to both develop students intu-itions about the content in real analysis and reinforce students understanding of the need for proof or counterexample. Real analysis is a particularly appropriate site for this question since students start with significant intuitions (from calculus) that is not necessarily consis-tent with the foundations of analysis (completeness, monsters, etc.). Specific types of these activities may include \n\nTraps:: contradicts standard obvious intuitions \n\nHooks:: build new (perhaps surprising) intuitions, e.g., the cantor set \n\nGeneralizing:: asking whether a recently proven statement holds for a broader class of tasks What does implementing such strategies communicate to students about (1) correct proof? (2) their own responsibility for their learning? (3) the instructor's responsibility for their learning? (4) mathematical authority? (5) what it means to \"do math?\" (6) potentially, conceptual understanding? 9\n\n(7) workload? (8) the difficulty of the concepts? (9) the amount of coverage accomplished by the course? In an extreme version of this question, we seek to understand the differences in the devel-opment of students habits of mind when approaching mathematical tasks if the course is structured as statements, with many (1/4? 1/2?) are false. \n\nBeyond proof. \n\nResearch Question: What are the impacts of incorporating mathematical activity such as defining or conjecturing at different points or with different frequency in an IBL course? \n\nAbstract: The classic Moore Method course involves the distribution of a sequence of def-initions and problems students are charged with solving. Other IBL strategies may ask students to generate the definitions and problems themselves. The choice of strategies on this continuum may depend on the instructors goal for the course. For example, requiring students to participate in the defining and conjecturing tasks may result in a different con-ception of the nature of mathematical inquiry and the culture of mathematics. On the other hand, it may be the case that requiring students to generate every definition in a course may discourage students or require an undesirable amount of time. We wish to study the optimal frequency, locations, and depth of these experiences, both defining and conjecturing. Many effects on student perception would be of interest, including perception of: student and in-structor responsibility for learning, mathematical authority, what it means to do math, their understanding, course difficulty, course coverage. \n\nDesigning in the Zone of Proximal Development. \n\nResearch Question: When teaching from a set of notes, how does an experienced IBL instructor identify when a problem sequence needs to be reconstructed to support the particular learning needs of their students, how do they accomplish it, and how do they assess its effectiveness? \n\nAbstract: Course notes are more static than actual problem sequences implemented by IBL instructors. Effective instructors often modify problems in response to the ways that particular classes develop. For example a particular problem may be too difficult as stated and need to be broken into sub-steps to allow student success. Alternately, an instructor may realize that some of their students may be better served by using an alternate definition to a particular term, thus changing the trajectory of problems (e.g., the old definition now becomes a theorem). We seek to understand what aspects of students understanding an instructor must attend to in order effectively identify the need for these modifications and to understand the design principles that allow them to successfully modify the sequence. We also seek to understand any aspects of students or topics that may affect this process such as differences in when working with content for which students have a rich concept image vs. when a concept image is relatively absent. In addition to studying how this process 10 \n\nunfolds during a course, we may also explore how the standard versions of course notes may be modified outside of a particular implementation. \n\nProof. How does an IBL class impact students' understanding of proof?. \n\nResearch Questions: In what ways does an IBL class 5:(1) impact students' proof schemes? (2) affect students' understanding of the contextual meanings in mathematics of the words \"axioms, definitions, conjecture, theorem\" and their role in mathematics? (3) help students develop competence at proof? What features of IBL create these impacts? \n\nAbstract: Harel & Sowder have proposed a framework to classify and examine students' proof schemes. They have looked mostly at students in traditional courses, or as part of teaching experiments. We conjecture that in those implementations of IBL that provide experiences to students in which they must prove propositions on their own, students' proof schemes will improve, as will their understanding of proof, and their competence at writing proofs. We propose a qualitative study (a case study possibly) of a Real Analysis IBL course. Data will include documentation of the IBL implementation (syllabus, problem sequence, classroom observations, instructor's interview), evidence of students' procedural and concep-tual understanding of proof (artifacts such as proofs worked in tests or homework assign-ments, clinical interviews, preand post-surveys). Things to think about: \n\n• If the study is done in two sites (e.g., Texas and India), how to ensure that classrooms observations are reliable and consistent? (Ideas: video, Skype interviews.) \n\n• Why Real Analysis? It could be done in other courses, but RA is a good one: students have some experience with proofs, they are more mature mathematically, course content is challenging enough. \n\n• Data should include students' demographic information, previous IBL experience, academic perfomance prior to the course. \n\n• Teasing out what features of IBL cause change may be more difficult than gathering evidence of such change. \n\n• We need to consider follow up evidence of the robustness of change or impact. \n\n• Data collection instruments (interview protocols, proof tasks, etc.) will be piloted both in IBL and non-IBL courses, as possible. \n\n• A more comprehensive literature review should be conducted to inform data collection and data analysis strategies, as well as useful frameworks to use or to adapt for this study.", "clean_statement": "(1) What are long term effects of MMM instruction upon strong students?

Hunter, Evaluation of the IBL Mathematics Project, Assessment & Evaluation Center for IBL in Mathematics, Ethnography and Evaluation Research and Tim Weston ATLAS Assessment and Research Center, University of Colorado at Boulder (2011), p169.\n4Laursen, et al., divided students into Low achieving (Math GPA 2.5 or below), High achieving (Math GPA 2.5 or above) categories. 7\n\nThe purpose of this study is to determine if there is validity to the commonly held belief by MMM instructors that, among students previously identified as strongest, MMM students tend subsequently to fulfill more of their potential than those taking the same courses in a traditional, lecture-based setting. To that end, we wish to more carefully examine the benefits of Modified Moore Method courses to strong students. By \"strong\" students we mean those students that are either hard-working and diligent, or talented and smart, or both. Below we propose some possible proxy measures for these traits. Thus far we have put together two possible approaches: (1) We wish to compare the effect of MMM vs. lecture-based instruction upon strong students. (2) We wish to examine high-achieving students (after becoming informed by our previous transformation study), and accomplish a similar goal of describing developmental categories at a higher resolution for this group of students. In order to investigate this pair of research questions, it will first be necessary to determine the following: (1) How are strong incoming freshmen best identified? (Perhaps by high school grades? SAT grades? Other?) (2) How is realization of potential by college graduates who declared a mathematics major best measured? (Perhaps by completion of a mathematics degree after declaring the major? By taking mathematics courses or doing individualized work in mathematics beyond the requirements for the degree? By acceptance to graduate school? By individual testimony? Other?) There are many ways achievement of potential could be manifest. The study will rely on identifying ways that are practical to measure. Once satisfactory metrics have been identified and described, the study may be carried out in the following steps: (1) Institutions will be identified which have mathematics courses that are taught some-times by MMM and sometimes in a traditional, lecture-based format. (2) For those institutions, records will be gathered of recent graduates who had at some point declared a mathematics major. (3) From those records, students who qualify as \"strong\" will be selected. (4) From the selected students, two groups will be formed. One group will consist of those who had taken the most MMM courses, and the other will consist of those who had taken the most lecture-based courses. (5) Data on realization of potential will then be analyzed and used to compare MMM-students with lecture-based-students. The investigation of research questions 3 and 4 above will be informed by our planned \"Exploratory Study of Student Development Under the Modified Moore Method\". That study will describe student developmental categories and describe how students advance through these categories. We wish to build on that study by examining the highest-achieving 8\n\ncategory in greater resolution. That is, how can we explain and describe student development in a MMM course within the highest-achieving category?\n\nProblem sequences & learning trajectories. Intellectual cross-training.\n\nResearch Question: When interweaving content areas within a problem sequence, what are the impacts on students success, conceptual development, relationships between related concepts, their images of the roles of definitions and theorems, and equivalence of approaches?\n\nAbstract: IBL Real Analysis instructors often interweave problems on different concepts rather than treating each concept independently. We propose to study whether doing so increases the odds of success for individual students and, if so, why. Perhaps having prob-lems spanning multiple concepts on which to work each evening allows students to make connections between these concepts thereby increasing the students' understanding of each concept as well as the interplay between them. What is an optimal amount of interweaving? We illustrate the phenomena we wish to study via two examples. (1) An instructor might alternate, within a problem sequence, problems related to limit points and problems related to sequences prior to stating a problem that ties the two concepts together, such as every infinite bounded sequence has a limit point. (2) An instructor might have problems intertwined between continuity and differentia-bility, with the concluding problem being to prove that every differentiable function is continuous.\n\nStrategic Walls.\n\nResearch Question: How does an instructor create an adequate number of conjec-tures that will effectively demonstrate students need for mathematical need for proof in order to verify or invalidate their intuition? What are the features and timing of these conjectures for optimal effectiveness?\n\nAbstract: Pedagogical conjecturing activities are intended to both develop students intu-itions about the content in real analysis and reinforce students understanding of the need for proof or counterexample. Real analysis is a particularly appropriate site for this question since students start with significant intuitions (from calculus) that is not necessarily consis-tent with the foundations of analysis (completeness, monsters, etc.). Specific types of these activities may include\n\nTraps:: contradicts standard obvious intuitions\n\nHooks:: build new (perhaps surprising) intuitions, e.g., the cantor set\n\nGeneralizing:: asking whether a recently proven statement holds for a broader class of tasks What does implementing such strategies communicate to students about (1) correct proof? (2) their own responsibility for their learning? (3) the instructor's responsibility for their learning? (4) mathematical authority? (5) what it means to \"proof schemes? (2) affect students\" (6) potentially, conceptual understanding? 9\n\n(7) workload? (8) the difficulty of the concepts? (9) the amount of coverage accomplished by the course? In an extreme version of this question, we seek to understand the differences in the devel-opment of students habits of mind when approaching mathematical tasks if the course is structured as statements, with many (1/4? 1/2?) are false.\n\nBeyond proof.\n\nResearch Question: What are the impacts of incorporating mathematical activity such as defining or conjecturing at different points or with different frequency in an IBL course?\n\nAbstract: The classic Moore Method course involves the distribution of a sequence of def-initions and problems students are charged with solving. Other IBL strategies may ask students to generate the definitions and problems themselves. The choice of strategies on this continuum may depend on the instructors goal for the course. For example, requiring students to participate in the defining and conjecturing tasks may result in a different con-ception of the nature of mathematical inquiry and the culture of mathematics. On the other hand, it may be the case that requiring students to generate every definition in a course may discourage students or require an undesirable amount of time. We wish to study the optimal frequency, locations, and depth of these experiences, both defining and conjecturing. Many effects on student perception would be of interest, including perception of: student and in-structor responsibility for learning, mathematical authority, what it means to do math, their understanding, course difficulty, course coverage.\n\nDesigning in the Zone of Proximal Development.\n\nResearch Question: When teaching from a set of notes, how does an experienced IBL instructor identify when a problem sequence needs to be reconstructed to support the particular learning needs of their students, how do they accomplish it, and how do they assess its effectiveness?\n\nAbstract: Course notes are more static than actual problem sequences implemented by IBL instructors. Effective instructors often modify problems in response to the ways that particular classes develop. For example a particular problem may be too difficult as stated and need to be broken into sub-steps to allow student success. Alternately, an instructor may realize that some of their students may be better served by using an alternate definition to a particular term, thus changing the trajectory of problems (e.g., the old definition now becomes a theorem). We seek to understand what aspects of students understanding an instructor must attend to in order effectively identify the need for these modifications and to understand the design principles that allow them to successfully modify the sequence. We also seek to understand any aspects of students or topics that may affect this process such as differences in when working with content for which students have a rich concept image vs. when a concept image is relatively absent. In addition to studying how this process 10\n\nunfolds during a course, we may also explore how the standard versions of course notes may be modified outside of a particular implementation.\n\nProof. How does an IBL class impact students' understanding of proof?.\n\nResearch Questions: In what ways does an IBL class 5:(1) impact students' proof schemes? (2) affect students' understanding of the contextual meanings in mathematics of the words \"axioms, definitions, conjecture, theorem\" and their role in mathematics? (3) help students develop competence at proof? What features of IBL create these impacts?\n\nAbstract: Harel & Sowder have proposed a framework to classify and examine students' proof schemes. They have looked mostly at students in traditional courses, or as part of teaching experiments. We conjecture that in those implementations of IBL that provide experiences to students in which they must prove propositions on their own, students' proof schemes will improve, as will their understanding of proof, and their competence at writing proofs. We propose a qualitative study (a case study possibly) of a Real Analysis IBL course. Data will include documentation of the IBL implementation (syllabus, problem sequence, classroom observations, instructor's interview), evidence of students' procedural and concep-tual understanding of proof (artifacts such as proofs worked in tests or homework assign-ments, clinical interviews, preand post-surveys). Things to think about:\n\n• If the study is done in two sites (e.g., Texas and India), how to ensure that classrooms observations are reliable and consistent? (Ideas: video, Skype interviews.)\n\n• Why Real Analysis? It could be done in other courses, but RA is a good one: students have some experience with proofs, they are more mature mathematically, course content is challenging enough.\n\n• Data should include students' demographic information, previous IBL experience, academic perfomance prior to the course.\n\n• Teasing out what features of IBL cause change may be more difficult than gathering evidence of such change.\n\n• We need to consider follow up evidence of the robustness of change or impact.\n\n• Data collection instruments (interview protocols, proof tasks, etc.) will be piloted both in IBL and non-IBL courses, as possible.\n\n• A more comprehensive literature review should be conducted to inform data collection and data analysis strategies, as well as useful frameworks to use or to adapt for this study.", "public_statement": "(1) What are long term effects of MMM instruction upon strong students? (2) How do these effects compare with those of more traditional, lecture-based instruction (and possibly more general IBL)? (3) How can we further describe student development within the strong/high-achieving category? (see Tranformation Study) (4) In what ways do MMM courses support this development, specifically for strong students?\n\nAbstract: The following statement appears in the final report of the Colorado Study, Chapter 9: Summary of Findings 3\n\nOverall, it appeared that non-IBL courses tended to reinforce prior achieve-ment patterns, helping the \"rich\" to get \"richer.\" In contrast, IBL courses seemed to offer an extra boost to lower achieving students, especially among pre-service teachers. Yet there was no evidence of harm done to the strongest students. Indeed, high-achieving students may be encouraged by an IBL expe-rience to take more mathematics courses, especially more IBL courses (6.6.2) again, consistent with instructor observations that strong students found the IBL approach stimulating (8.2.5). The study did recognize and record different forms of IBL, primarily individual pre-sentation and group work. However, it went on to aggregate them under the label \"IBL,\" in order to provide enough data to draw statistically significant conclusions. We applaud the findings concerning lower achieving students 4. However, we also rec-ognize that the strongest students of today will be the leaders of tomorrow, and that it is important to assist them in achieving their full potential. Doing them \"no harm\" does not seem likely to achieve that. We would like to investigate the possible benefits of IBL to these students mentioned in the above quote from the Colorado Study. The idea of this study is that these benefits might be more pronounced and easier to establish if it is focused on the benefits of the MMM, rather than IBL in general.\n\n> 2Laursen, S.

These non-conservative systems exhibit a common feature: their steady or self similar states are given by statistical Stationary Non-equilibrium States (SNS), meaning they are far deviated from Gaussian probability distributions. They entice approx-imating hydrodynamic models modeling \"source\" representing momentum and energy gain or dissipation due to strong friction or forcing scales. When these non-equilibrium regimes take over, classical hydrodynamic models (based on Gaussians/Maxwellian closures) do not apply and need to be corrected to account for the non-equilibrium statistics. I am interested in issues related to the mathematical properties of these models such as existence, uniqueness, self-similarity, stability and to analyze their higher order moment equations (hydro-dynamical corrections) and corresponding boundary value problems; as well as to investigate optimal numerical simulation methods for corresponding quantum, kinetic and macroscopic (hydrodynamic) models. I will present a very recent work related to item (1.i) below: \"Deterministic solvers to transient Boltzmann-Poisson equations\" Abstract: The Boltzmann-Poisson system is the most reliable model for the flow of charged particles in semiconductors devices. Real device models have not already been simulated by deterministic computations due to its high computational cost, although is very well known and general practice to solve these models by Monte-Carlo (DSMC) methods. We focus in a rather easy and fast deterministic solver for a channel flow: one and two-dimension and three-velocity dimension. The system of equations reduces to a linear kinetic (non-local) equation solved by WENO methods coupled with the Poisson equation for the force field acting on the particles accounting for long range interactions. We will 6\n\nfocus on the development of the method, simulation results for diodes and MESFET as well as comparisons to other classical models in the field. In particular we compute, determin-istically, the evolution probability density function with its first three moments. Boundary singularities for 2-space dimensions models are accurately computed. This work has been done in collaboration with J.A. Carrillo, A. Majorana and C.-W. Shu. Finally, I will present work in progress on computations by DG schemes of linear Boltzmann equations, work in collaboration with Jennifer Proft and Ross Heath. Some other issues I am and have been studying, and I am interested in learning more, are: 1)Self-consistent models of kinetic charged transport. Perturbations of Stationary Non-Equilibrium States (SNS). 1.i) Numerical implementation of deterministic kinetic-Poisson systems and compar-isons to DSMC simulations by WENO schemes, and more recently, developing Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes. 1.ii)Boundary value problems, existence and hydrodynamics limits for strong force fields.

These non-conservative systems exhibit a common feature: their steady or self similar states are given by statistical Stationary Non-equilibrium States (SNS), meaning they are far deviated from Gaussian probability distributions. They entice approx-imating hydrodynamic models modeling \"source\" representing momentum and energy gain or dissipation due to strong friction or forcing scales. When these non-equilibrium regimes take over, classical hydrodynamic models (based on Gaussians/Maxwellian closures) do not apply and need to be corrected to account for the non-equilibrium statistics. I am interested in issues related to the mathematical properties of these models such as existence, uniqueness, self-similarity, stability and to analyze their higher order moment equations (hydro-dynamical corrections) and corresponding boundary value problems; as well as to investigate optimal numerical simulation methods for corresponding quantum, kinetic and macroscopic (hydrodynamic) models. I will present a very recent work related to item (1.i) below: \"Deterministic solvers to transient Boltzmann-Poisson equations\" Abstract: The Boltzmann-Poisson system is the most reliable model for the flow of charged particles in semiconductors devices. Real device models have not already been simulated by deterministic computations due to its high computational cost, although is very well known and general practice to solve these models by Monte-Carlo (DSMC) methods. We focus in a rather easy and fast deterministic solver for a channel flow: one and two-dimension and three-velocity dimension. The system of equations reduces to a linear kinetic (non-local) equation solved by WENO methods coupled with the Poisson equation for the force field acting on the particles accounting for long range interactions. We will 6\n\nfocus on the development of the method, simulation results for diodes and MESFET as well as comparisons to other classical models in the field. In particular we compute, determin-istically, the evolution probability density function with its first three moments. Boundary singularities for 2-space dimensions models are accurately computed. This work has been done in collaboration with J.A. Carrillo, A. Majorana and C.-W. Shu. Finally, I will present work in progress on computations by DG schemes of linear Boltzmann equations, work in collaboration with Jennifer Proft and Ross Heath. Some other issues I am and have been studying, and I am interested in learning more, are: 1)Self-consistent models of kinetic charged transport. Perturbations of Stationary Non-Equilibrium States (SNS). 1.i) Numerical implementation of deterministic kinetic-Poisson systems and compar-isons to DSMC simulations by WENO schemes, and more recently, developing Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes. 1.ii)Boundary value problems, existence and hydrodynamics limits for strong force fields.

Modify the Lagrangian by subtracting a closed 1-form from the cohomology class c and adding a constant\n\nα(c) so that for the new Lc we have inf\n\n{∫\n\nLc dμ | μ is an invariant probablility measure on T M × T\n\n}\n\n= 0.\n\nThen set\n\nhnc (x, y ) = inf\n\n{∫ n\n\n> 0\n\nLc(γ(t), ˙γ(t), t ) dt | γ: [0, n ] → M connects x and y\n\n}\n\nand\n\nρc(x, y ) = lim inf\n\n> n→∞\n\nhnc (x, y ) + lim inf\n\n> n→∞\n\nhnc (y, x ).\n\nDefine an equivalence relation on Ac by x ∼ y iff ρc(x, y ) = 0.

We are interested in identifying a non-self-adjoint operator associated with an evolution equation (parabolic or hyperbolic) through \"observations\" of the solution as time evolves.

If we denote its eigenfunctions by ϕn, 0 and its associated eigenfunctions (roots) by ϕn,ν for ν = 1,..., m n − 1, where mn is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue λn, then we can write a formal solution to the evolution equation \n\nu (t) = ∑\n\n> n≥1\n\neλntmn−1∑\n\n> ν=0\n\ncnν (f ) pnν (t)ϕnν (2) where the Fourier coefficients are cnν (f ) = 〈f, ψ nν 〉 and {ψnν } is the biorthogonal system to {ϕn,ν }.

Evolution equations are often found in control theory, and for that purpose, we need finite number of observations done in finite time. 4. Marina Chugunova \n\n4.1. Computations of the instability index for a non-self-adjoint operators. The stability of steady states is a basic question about the dynamics of any partial differential equation that models the evolution of a physical system. In order to numerically evaluate the instability index of a given differential operator A, its computation should be reduced to a problem of linear algebra. Particularly for problems with periodic boundary condi-tions, it seems natural to restrict the operator A to a finite-dimensional space of trigonometric polynomials. \n\nOpen problem: Under what conditions the instability index (the total number of unstable eigenvalues) can be computed from the resulting finite dimensional matrix? One difficulty is that the entries of the infinite matrix corresponding to the differential operator A grow with the row and column index, so that any truncation is not a small perturbation. If A is a self-adjoint semi-bounded differential operator of even order, then the instability index can be estimated by variational methods, or computed directly from the zeros of the corresponding Evans function. Understanding the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint operator is a much harder problem. It is not at all obvious how to restrict the computation of its instability index to a finite-dimensional subspace, or how to even estimate its dimension. Furthermore, the numerical calculation of eigenvalues can be extremely ill-conditioned even in finite dimensions. 5. Michael Demuth \n\n5.1. Spectral radius and operator norm.

The question arises: What is the gap between ‖A‖ and spr( A)? Introduce the denotation gap( A):= ‖A‖ − spr( A).\n\nOpen problems: i) For which class of operators holds gap( A) > 0 or gap( A) = 0,\n\nrespectively. ii) What is the smallest m ∈ (0, 1], such that spr( A) ≤ m‖A‖\n\nor gap( A) ≥ (1 − m)‖A‖?\n\nExample 1.

In this case ‖A‖ = max {b1, b 2} and σ(A) = {z ∈ C: |z| ≤ 1} and therefore spr( A) = 1. Thus \n\n• gap( A) = 0: If b1 = b2 = 1 then ‖A‖ = spr( A). \n\n• gap( A) > 0: If b1 6 = b2 then ‖A‖ > spr( A). This kind of estimates are useful in the following situation. Let K be a compact perturbation of A. Study the discrete spectrum of B:= A + K. We are able to analyze the moments and the number of eigenvalues of B outside a ball of radius ‖A‖. It is more interesting and also natural to enlarge this region up to the complement of a ball with radius spr( A). 6. Mark Embree \n\n6.1. Davies' conjecture about approximate diagonalization.

Particularly for problems with periodic boundary condi-tions, it seems natural to restrict the operator A to a finite-dimensional space of trigonometric polynomials.\n\nOpen problem: Under what conditions the instability index (the total number of unstable eigenvalues) can be computed from the resulting finite dimensional matrix? One difficulty is that the entries of the infinite matrix corresponding to the differential operator A grow with the row and column index, so that any truncation is not a small perturbation. If A is a self-adjoint semi-bounded differential operator of even order, then the instability index can be estimated by variational methods, or computed directly from the zeros of the corresponding Evans function. Understanding the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint operator is a much harder problem. It is not at all obvious how to restrict the computation of its instability index to a finite-dimensional subspace, or how to even estimate its dimension. Furthermore, the numerical calculation of eigenvalues can be extremely ill-conditioned even in finite dimensions. 5. Michael Demuth\n\n5.1. Spectral radius and operator norm. Let A be a bounded linear operator on a Banach space X. Its spectral radius is defined by spr( A):= max {| z|: z ∈ σ(A)}.\n\nGelfand proved the classical formula spr( A) = lim\n\n> n→∞\n\n‖An‖ 1\n\n> n.\n\n> 2\n\nObviously, 0 ≤ spr( A) ≤ ‖ A‖. The question arises: What is the gap between ‖A‖ and spr( A)? Introduce the denotation gap( A):= ‖A‖ − spr( A).\n\nOpen problems: i) For which class of operators holds gap( A) > 0 or gap( A) = 0,\n\nrespectively. ii) What is the smallest m ∈ (0, 1], such that spr( A) ≤ m‖A‖\n\nor gap( A) ≥ (1 − m)‖A‖?\n\nExample 1. Let X = `1(N) and A be the weighted shift-operator defined according to the canonical standard basis by the infinite matrix\n\n\n\n0\n\nb1 0\n\nb2 0\n\nb1 0\n\nb2 0......\n\n\n\nwhere b1, b 2 > 0 and b1b2 = 1. In this case ‖A‖ = max {b1, b 2} and σ(A) = {z ∈ C: |z| ≤ 1} and therefore spr( A) = 1. Thus\n\n• gap( A) = 0: If b1 = b2 = 1 then ‖A‖ = spr( A).\n\n• gap( A) > 0: If b1 6 = b2 then ‖A‖ > spr( A). This kind of estimates are useful in the following situation. Let K be a compact perturbation of A. Study the discrete spectrum of B:= A + K. We are able to analyze the moments and the number of eigenvalues of B outside a ball of radius ‖A‖. It is more interesting and also natural to enlarge this region up to the complement of a ball with radius spr( A). 6. Mark Embree\n\n6.1. Davies' conjecture about approximate diagonalization.

Therefore it does work for Ak-cases but not for the others ( Dk, E6, E 7, E 8). 5. Can they arrive as \"non-trivial\" hyperk¨ ahler reductions of finite dimensional linear spaces? \n\nAnswer: Yes, for ALE spaces (Kronheimer's construction). Yes, for ALF if certain (Dancer) spaces are included with the linear spaces. 6. Is it true that every gravitational instanton has an asymptotic local triholomorphic isometry? \n\nReason: If you have a local R-action at infinity, then the metric is given in terms of a harmonic function, which arises from the hyperk¨ ahler moment map associated to this action (see the work of Gibbons). 7.

(2) Nakajima conjectured that in dimension 4, ALE and Ricci-flat implies self-dual. (3) In dimension > 4 and even, the conjecture is that ALE and Ricci-flat implies K¨ ahler. (4) (Carron) For odd dimensional manifolds an ALE Ricci-flat metric has to be flat since (a) by the Cheeger-Gromoll theorem this manifold has only one end (if not it splits isometrically as \n\nR × N with N compact); (b) The topology at infinity must be of the type ( R, ∞) × S2n/G where G is a finite subgroup of \n\nO(2 n + 1) acting freely on S2n. If g ∈ SO (2 n + 1) it must have 1 as an eigenvalue hence the only such G is \n\n{I, −I}; but the quotient is the real projective space, and there is no odd dimensional compact manifold whose boundary is the real projective space. Therefore G is trivial and the Bishop-Gromov inequality 2implies that M is the Euclidean space.

What are the largest natural domains of definition for the families N C W,\n\nN N W and ∆ W, and for their corresponding applications? In a sense, the broadest setting possible for the numerology is finite groups generated by pseudoreflections. (A pseudoreflec-tion is a unitary operator on an n-dimensional complex vector space whose eigenvalues are 0 with multiplicity n − 1, and −1 with multiplicity 1.) It is a classical result of Shephard and Todd that the ring of invariants of a group W is a polynomial ring precisely when the group is of this type. And in this case the sequence of degrees d1, d 2,..., d n of fundamental invariants is unique [43]. In the general (complex) case, David Bessis suggests that the Catalan number should be Cat( W ):= \n\n> n\n\n∏\n\n> i=1\n\nh + di\n\ndi,\n\nwhere we set h equal to the highest degree dn.

Colmez's functor and an expectation. One of the main inputs into Kisin's proof (without the assumption that the representation becomes semi-stable over an abelian extension) of the above inequality is the following construction of Colmez. Let G = GL 2(Qp), K = GL 2(Zp) and let Z be the center of G. If σ is a representation of KZ on a finite dimensional vector space Vσ over F, then write I(σ) = Ind GKZ σ for the compact induction of σ.Put σ = Sym rF, and let χ: Q× \n\n> p\n\n→ F× be a character, let λ ∈ F. For x ∈ F we put μx: Q× \n\n> p\n\n→ F×\n\n- the unramified character sending p ∈ Q× \n\n> p\n\nto x. Now set π(r, λ, χ ) = I(σ)/(T − λ)I(σ) ⊗ χ ◦ det. Let Π be a representation of GL 2(Qp) on a W (F)-module. The representation Π is admissible if Π has finite length and each of its Jordan-H¨ older factors has a central character. Equivalently, Π is admissible when it is of finite length and the Jordan-H¨ older factors of Π are either one-dimensional or an infinite dimensional subquotient of some π(r, λ, χ ). \n\nTheorem 2 (Colmez). There exists an exact contravariant functor V ∗ from the category of fi-nite length, admissible GL 2(Qp)-representations to the category of finite length representations of \n\nW (F)[ GQp ]. Moreover, we have \n\n(1) V ∗(Π) = 0 if Π is one-dimensional, \n\n(2) V ∗(π(r, λ, χ )) = χμ λ−1 if λ 6 = 0,\n\n(3) V ∗(π(r, 0, χ )) = Ind GQp\n\n> GQp2\n\nωr+1 2 ⊗ χ.\n\nOne can reinterpret Colmez's functor as a covariant functor as follows: Fix a character ψ: GQp →O× (regarded as a character of Q× \n\n> p\n\nvia local class field theory), suppose that Π is a finite length \n\nO[GL 2(Qp)]-module, which is admissible as a W (F)[1 /p ]-module. Define Vψ(Π) = ( V ∗(Π)) ∗(χcyc ψ)where V ∗(Π) ∗ is the Pontryagin dual of the finite length O-module V ∗(Π). Suppose that Π is now a representation of GL 2(Qp) on a W (F)-module, put Π n = Π ⊗Z Z/p nZ.Assume that Π is p-adically complete and separated, in particular Π = proj lim n Πn, and Π n is admissible (and of finite length) for each n. We write Vψ(Π) = proj lim Vψ(Π n). Since admissible p-ADIC REPRESENTATIONS, MODULARITY AND BEYOND 3\n\nrepresentations have finite length, projective limits are exact, thus Vψ(Π) /pV ψ(Π) = Vψ(Π 1), in particular Vψ(Π) is a finite generated W (F)-module, as it is p-adically separated. Such a repre-sentation Π will be called an admissible lattice. If in addition Π is an O-module, we call it an \n\nadmissible O-lattice.The following result (in its full generality) is still pending: \n\nTheorem 3 (Colmez(?)). Let E′/E be a finite extension and let V be a two-dimensional E′-vector space with a continuous GQp -action.

Serre's conjecture: Ribet \n\nLet p be a prime, for instance, let p = 5. Then suppose we have a Galois representation \n\nρ: GQ → GL 2(Fp)which is irreducible, odd, the question is, is it modular? Khare induction on the prime. Tate proved for p = 2, 3 Tate and Serre proved that this is vacuously the case. Start at ρ lift to ˜ ρ: GQ → GL 2(Ep) - want ˜ ρ to be minimal, i.e. with prescribed Serre level and weight k for 2 ≤ k ≤ p + 1 - it should be E-rational, compatible. This representation should lift to a Galois representation which is geometric etc... ˜ ρ = ˜ ρp we have a family (˜ ρp). Should look as if it comes from a modular form. Need to interweave Taylor's potential modularity theorem with deformation theory. Then use an analogue of Wiles' 3-5 trick. One technical obstacle, is you may get a reducible representation, then one has to apply Skinner-Wiles - which means you must check the hypothesis! Khare inducts simultaneously on the weight and the prime characteristic. Ideally, one wants to move to a lower prime, and simultaneously control the weight, in particular, reduce it. Then induct. p-ADIC REPRESENTATIONS, MODULARITY AND BEYOND 7\n\n4.1. Interplay between Taylor's theorem and deformation theory. Consider level N = 1 and residue characteristic p = 3 - then it is a theorem of Serre that Serre's conjecture is true in both the strong and weak formulations. In particular, every residual Galois representation is modular (because there are none!). Consider ρp, take a minimal lift ρp with level one and weight 2. Then include ρp in a strictly compatible family {ρp}. In general one must keep track of ramification. In this case, however S = ∅.Taylor's potential modularity states that given a Barsotti-Tate representation ρp there exists a totally real field F such that ρp|GF is modular. In particular, there is a Hilbert modular form over \n\nF of parallel weight two such that ρp|GF\n\n∼= ρf, p for some p | p. One can do this process to insure that the images of ρp and ρp|GF have the same image. 5. Buzzard: Serre's conjecture over Q\n\nFix an algebraic closure Qp of Qp and let F denote an unramified extension of Qp. Let Gal( Qp/Qp) ⊇ I ⊆ Gal( F /F ) = GF. Local class field theory gives us a canonical isomorphism \n\nGab \n\n> F\n\n∼= F ×, the image of I in Gab \n\n> F\n\nis identified with O× \n\n> F. Therefore, there exists a canonical quotient \n\nIn of I identified with k× where k denotes the residue field of F (where k = pn). We say that a character χ: I → F× \n\n> p\n\nhas level n if it factors as \n\nI → In → F× \n\n> p.\n\nThere are pn − 1 characters of level n. We have \n\nI / / / / In = k×.\n\nA character of level n is fundamental if the induced group homomorphism k× → F× \n\n> p\n\nextends to an injection of fields k ↪ → F p.Let F/ Qp be an unramified extension. \n\nLemma 4. If ρ: Gal( F /F ) → GL 2(Fp) is continuous, then either \n\nρ ∼=\n\n( χ1 ∗\n\n0 χ2\n\n)\n\nwhere χ1|I and χ|I have level n1; or ρ is irreducible and \n\nρ|I ∼=\n\n( χ 00 χpn\n\n)\n\nwhere χ of level 2n.\n\nIf f = ∑ \n\n> n≥1\n\nanqn ∈ Fp[[ q]] is a mod p modular cusp form of level N, p - N and a1 = 1 and f is an eigenform. Then there exists a Galois representation ρF = ρ associated to FρF: GQ → GL 2(Fp)continuous, odd, semisimple. If ` is a prime and ` - N p, then Tr( ρF (Frob arith \n\n> `\n\n)) is a` and det( ρF ) = \n\nχk−1cyc a dirichlet character of level n.What can we say about ρ|Dp? Good results 2 ≤ k ≤ p + 1. Answer: in this case if ap is nonzero, then ρ|Dp is reducible ( χ1 ∗\n\n0 χ2\n\n)\n\nand χ|I = ωk−1 and χ2|I = trivial, where ω is the mod p cyclotomic character. If ap = 0, then ρ|Dp\n\nis irreducible and \n\nρ|Ip ∼=\n\n( ψk−1 00 ψp(k−1) \n\n)8 NOTES BY MICHAEL VOLPATO \n\nwhere ψ is fundamental of level 2. \n\nSome facts: - If f = ∑ anqn is a mod p weight k cusp form, then Af = ∑ anqn is a mod p\n\nweight k + ( p − 1) cusp form. And Θ f = ∑ na nqn is a mod p weight k + ( p + 1) cusp form. \n\nρAf ∼= ρf and ρΘf ∼= ρf ⊗ ω\n\nSo if ρ ∼= ρf for some f of weight k, then ρ ⊗ ω modular weight k + ( p + 1) and ρ is modular of weight k + ( p − 1). These are the ingredients of Serre's precise conjecture. If ρ: GQ → GL 2(Fp) is continuous, odd and irreducible, then Serre predicts ρ is modular and furthermore predicts the precise weight k(ρ)for which there exists an f of weight k such that ρ ∼= ρF.\n\nIdea for k(ρ): - say \n\nρ|Ip ∼=\n\n( ωa ∗\n\n0 ψp(k−1) \n\n)\n\nand (ω−b ⊗ ρ)|Ip ∼\n\n( ω(a−b) ∗\n\n0 1\n\n)\n\nlooks modular of weight a − b + 1, therefore ρ looks modular of weight ( a − b + 1) + b(p + 1), if furthermore ∗ = 0 then \n\nρ|Ip ∼\n\n( ωb ∗\n\n0 ωa\n\n)\n\nand same trick gives another k.\n\nHow do you generalize to totally real fields? Annoying fact: - if f is a characteristic zero Hilbert modular form of weight ( k1,..., k α) and all ki congruent modulo 2, of level prime to p. Then for w ∈ Z (which is congruent to k mod 2) there exists an automorphic form πf,α associated to f and ρπf,α is crystalline at all places of F\n\nabove p thne det ρπf,w = ωinteger × char conductor prime to p.\n\nProblem: - typically there are mod p totally odd representations of Gal( F /F ) whose deter-minant is not the reduction of ωint × (prime to p). Therefore, the naive generalization of Serre's conjecture should NOT say that for all ρ: GF → GL 2(Fp) continuous totally odd irreducible are modular coming from a Hilbert modular form of level prime to p.\n\nFred's fix: - totally rethink the notion of weight. Say f is a weight k classical mod p modular form, where 2 < k < p + 1, of level N prime to \n\np. One can lift f to some characteristic zero form F of weight 2 and level Γ 1(N p ), of character ω\n\nat p.. Can find ρf in Jac( Xn(N p ))[ p]. Assume from now on that everything has an implicit level \n\nN. One can find f is a certain subspace of Pic ◦(X(p))[ p] where X(p)/Q is the non-geometrically connected modular curve of level Γ 1(N ) ×\n\n( 1 00 1\n\n)\n\n(mod p) over Q.The group Pic ◦(X(p))[ p]( Q) has an action of Gal( Q/Q) and a commuting action of GL 2(Fp), and our modular ρF lives in the subspace of this Pic ◦ where \n\n( ∗ ∗\n\n0 ∗\n\n)\n\n⊆ GL 2(Fp) is acting in a certain explicit way. One can now write down an explicit irreducible mod p representation of GL 2(Fp), say Vk, such that ρ ⊆ Hom G(V, Pic ◦(X(p))[ p]( Q)). This latter space is the one which generalizes to the totally real setting. \n\nEmerton: - ρ modular at weight V - where V is any irreducible mod p representation of GL 2(Fp), if ρ ⊆ Hom G(V, H 1et (X(p), Fp)). \n\nDiamond: - ρ modular of weight V if \n\nρ ⊆ (VFp ⊗ Pic ◦(X(p))[ p]( Q)) G = Hom G(V ∗, Pic ◦(X(p))[ p]( Q)) p-ADIC REPRESENTATIONS, MODULARITY AND BEYOND 9\n\nOne gets a reformulation of Serre's conjecture: If ρ is continuous, odd, irreducible GQ → GL 2(Fp), then ρ is modular, and furthermore it is modular for weight V - for which we have a recipe. The recipe now looks \"nicer\", because the irreducible mod p representations of GL 2(Fp) are all of the form det a ⊗Sym b−1(F2\n\n> p\n\n) where 0 ≤ a ≤ p − 2 and 1 ≤ b ≤ p.Get a simpler picture, e.g. in the irreducible case: \n\nρ|I = ωa\n\n( ψb 00 ψpb \n\n)\n\nwhere ω is fundamental of level 1 and ψ fundamental level 2. Fred predicts weight V = det a ⊗Sym b−1.6. Gee: Proof of Buzzard-Diamond-Jarvis \n\nLet F be totally real, and let p > 2 be unramified in F.

Say a weight ⊗v|pVav,bv is regular if 2 ≤ bv ≤ p − 2 for all v.\n\nTheorem 5 (Gee). Assume further that ρ(GF ) is non-solvable. (Can be removed). Assume also that for each v: ρ|Gv is not scalar. If V is a regular weight, ρ is irreducible, ρ is modular of weight \n\nV if and only if B-D-J predicted that it is. \n\nTheorem 6 (Gee). For p > 2 and F a totally real field, with p unramified in F. Let E/ Qp be a finite extension, and let O denote the ring of integers of E. Let \n\nρ: GF → GL 2(O),\n\nbe continuous, unramified outside of a finite set of primes, and det ρ = (cyc)( finite order ). Suppose that \n\n(1) ρ|Gv is potentially Barsotti-Tate for all v | p.\n\n(2) ρ is modular \n\n(3) ρ|GF (ζp ) is absolutely irreducible. then ρ is modular. \n\nAssume 2 ≤ k ≤ p, p > 2 if a modular newform of level Γ 1(N ), p - N and weight k.\n\nρf: GQ → GL 2(Fp),10 NOTES BY MICHAEL VOLPATO \n\nassume ρf also irreducible.

If k = p, the Up-eigenvalue of g is congruent to ψ2(Frob p) modulo p.By using Hida theory it suffices to find g′ of level Γ 1(N p ), and weight 2 with \n\nρg′ ∼= ρf ⊗ ωk′−1.\n\nthen \n\nρg′ ∼=\n\n( ˜ψ2 ˜ωk′−2χcyc ∗\n\n0 ˜ψ1\n\n)\n\nwhere˜stands for Teichm¨ uller lifts. Assume that ρ(GQ) is non-solvable. Now: (1) find ρg′, then (2) prove ρg′ is modular. For (2) we simply check the hypothesis of the earlier theorem. (1) follows from a theorem of Ramakrishna (and Taylor). In essence on has to check that the local deformation ring at p is large enough - a dimension calculation. For B-D-J one has to consider many lifts. In fact, the lifts we want to consider are potentially Barsotti-Tate of a specified type. (These types are always tame). Starting the a residual rep-resentation considers all lifts of this type. Then using combinatorial arguments you control the weights. 7. Buzzard: p-adic Local Langlands \n\nFor GL 2(K), where K/ Qp finite: it bijects supercuspidal (infinite dimensional) representations of GL 2(K) with irreducible 2-dimensional C-representations of the Weil group WK. This first set is contained in the set of smooth irreducible admissible representations of GL 2(K). The latter set is contained in the set of F -semisimple 2-dimensional Weil-Delgine representations. Vigneras: situation is also good when we replace C by F` for ` 6 = p.What about Fp? What about a \"mod p local Langlands?\" Objects on the right-hand side: {continuous ρ: Gal( K/K ) → GL 2(Fp)}, this set contains the irreducible representations. At least for K/ Qp unramified, then ρ gives rise to a finite set of irreducible representations of GL 2(k) where k denotes the residue field of K.e.g. When K = Qp and ρ irreducible \n\nρ|I =\n\n( ψb 00 ψpb \n\n)\n\nyou get Sym b−1 and also twist of Sym p+b.Take F/ Qp unramified, with ring of integers O. Let K = GL 2(O), and Z = F × ↪→ G = GL 2(F )and k be the residue field of F. If V is a finite dimensional representation of GL 2(k) over Fp.Then make V a representation of K by letting K act via GL 2(k) and then a representation of KZ \n\nby letting O× act via K and letting \n\n( p 00 p\n\n)\n\nact trivially. Define c − Ind GKZ V to be the set of p-ADIC REPRESENTATIONS, MODULARITY AND BEYOND 11 \n\nfunctions f: G → V such that f (kg ) = k ∗ f (g) for all k ∈ KZ, where ∗ is the action of KZ on V;and such that the support of f is a finite union of costs of KZ. We define a G-action on c − Ind by putting ( gf )( g′) = f (g′g). Note that c − Ind is an infinite-dimensional representation of G.Consider all the embeddings k σ\n\n↪→ Fp. Now assume that V = ⊗ \n\n> σ\n\nσ ◦ Sym rσ k2 where 0 ≤ rσ ≤\n\np − 1. [Up to twists this is all the irreducible representations of GL 2(k). Explicitly: homogeneous polynomials of degree rσ in two-variables x and y such that \n\n(( a bc d\n\n)\n\nf\n\n)\n\n(x, y ) = f (ax + cy, bx + dy )Define an Fp-linear map U = ⊗Uσ: V → V, by \n\nUσ(xiyrσ −i) = 0 if i > 0 and \n\nUσ(yrσ ) = yrσ.\n\nNow define a map \n\nϕ: G → End Fp (V )by \n\nϕ\n\n(( 1 00 p−1\n\n)) \n\n= U\n\nExtend to KZ \n\n( 1 00 p−1\n\n)\n\nKZ by ϕ(ka −1k′) = k ∗ ϕ(a−1 ∗ k′. Then extend to G by 0. So ϕ gives rise to a G-endomorphism of c − Ind GKZ V in a natural way - call this T.Wonderful observations of Barthel-Livn´ e: Let Wr:= c − Ind GKZ ⊗ Sym rσ.\n\nIf λ ∈ Fp, λ 6 = 0, then Wr/(T − λ) is almost always an irreducible smooth admissible represen-tation of G (call these principal series ), except occasionally it has length 2, 1 − d subquotient and Steinberg subquotient. An irreducible representation of G is supersingular if its a quotient of Wr/(T ).

Start at ρ lift to ˜ ρ: GQ → GL 2(Ep) - want ˜ ρ to be minimal, i.e. with prescribed Serre level and weight k for 2 ≤ k ≤ p + 1 - it should be E-rational, compatible. This representation should lift to a Galois representation which is geometric etc... ˜ ρ = ˜ ρp we have a family (˜ ρp). Should look as if it comes from a modular form. Need to interweave Taylor's potential modularity theorem with deformation theory. Then use an analogue of Wiles' 3-5 trick. One technical obstacle, is you may get a reducible representation, then one has to apply Skinner-Wiles - which means you must check the hypothesis! Khare inducts simultaneously on the weight and the prime characteristic. Ideally, one wants to move to a lower prime, and simultaneously control the weight, in particular, reduce it. Then induct. p-ADIC REPRESENTATIONS, MODULARITY AND BEYOND 7\n\n4.1. Interplay between Taylor's theorem and deformation theory. Consider level N = 1 and residue characteristic p = 3 - then it is a theorem of Serre that Serre's conjecture is true in both the strong and weak formulations. In particular, every residual Galois representation is modular (because there are none!). Consider ρp, take a minimal lift ρp with level one and weight 2. Then include ρp in a strictly compatible family {ρp}. In general one must keep track of ramification. In this case, however S = ∅.Taylor's potential modularity states that given a Barsotti-Tate representation ρp there exists a totally real field F such that ρp|GF is modular. In particular, there is a Hilbert modular form over\n\nF of parallel weight two such that ρp|GF\n\n∼= ρf, p for some p | p. One can do this process to insure that the images of ρp and ρp|GF have the same image. 5.

Therefore, the naive generalization of Serre's conjecture should NOT say that for all ρ: GF → GL 2(Fp) continuous totally odd irreducible are modular coming from a Hilbert modular form of level prime to p.\n\nFred's fix: - totally rethink the notion of weight. Say f is a weight k classical mod p modular form, where 2 < k < p + 1, of level N prime to\n\np.

For B-D-J one has to consider many lifts. In fact, the lifts we want to consider are potentially Barsotti-Tate of a specified type. (These types are always tame). Starting the a residual rep-resentation considers all lifts of this type. Then using combinatorial arguments you control the weights. 7.

Let ϕ denote a lifting of the Frobenius endomorphism. \n\nDefinition 1. A ϕ-module over K is a finite free K-module M equipped with a semilinear ϕ-action, i.e. M → M such that ϕ∗(M ) = M ⊗ϕ K ˜→M.\n\nTheorem 9 (Dieudonn´ e-Manin classification).

In particular Ext 1(Mr, M s) = 0. Moreover Mr ∼= Ms if and only if r = s.\n\nDefine the degree of a ϕ-module as follows: if M has rank one, say M = ( x), i.e. pick v ∈ M,then ϕ(v) = xv. Define deg( M ) = vp(x). Where vp is the p-adic valuation. Define deg( M ) = deg( ∧rank( M ) M ). If Mr ∼= Ms implies that their ranks are equal, in particular their degrees are equal. We define the slope of a ϕ-module M as the quotient deg( M )/rank( M ). Note that the decomposition of a ϕ-module is not unique. For example: \n\n( 1 00 1\n\n)\n\nhas fixed vectors \n\nKϕe1 + Kϕe2.\n\nNow assume that k is only assumed to be perfect, and not algebraically closed. Apply the D-M classification over ̂ Kunr get isotypical decomposition of M ⊗K̂ Kunr, which descends to a decomposition \"pure slope decomposition.\" Alternative characterization of \"pure.\" Say M has rank r and degree d, then M is pure of slope \n\nr/d if there exists an OK -lattice L of M such that π−rϕd acts on L and \n\n(\n\nπ−rϕd)∗\n\nL → L\n\ni.e. in some basis π−rϕd acts via an invertible matrix over OK.Exercise: M is pure of slope r/d if and only if M ⊗K̂ Kunr ∼= ( Mr/d )⊕i for some i. \"Pure of slope zero\" = \"´ etale\" = \"unit-root.\" Also (pure) ⊗(pure)=(pure). Now let k be an arbitrary field of characteristic p > 0, and let K be a finite extension of the field of fractions of a Cohen ring. For instance, for F a finite extension of Qp we can define \n\nE =̂ OF [[ t]][ t−1][ 1\n\np ].\n\nApply D-M classification over ̂ Lunr where L =̂ inj lim ϕ K.

Define E† to be those power series in \n\nt which converge and are bounded in some annulus ∗ ≤ | t| < 1. This ring is not complete for the \n\np-adic topology, but it is henselian. If you complete it for the p-adic topology, then you get E. Also define the Robba ring R to be those power series in t which converge in some annulus ∗ ≤ | t| < 1. Note that R is not a field, however its units are bounded, i.e. belong to E †. In particular the concept of degree still makes sense over the Robba ring R as then does the concept of slope. When you define, however, \"pure of some slope\" over R, the lattice should be over OE†.\n\nTheorem 10. There is a functor: \n\n{´etale ϕ-modules }/E† → { ´etale ϕ-modules }/R\n\ngiven by \"tensor with R\", which is an equivalence of categories.

See [CD] and [DV] for related additional information. Another necessary and sufficient condition in the case N = 1: write [ A] = (A1, A 2,..., A n) where the Ai are r × r commuting matrices. Then R can be written as a sum of square norms of polynomials if and only if R([ A], [A∗]) ≥ 0holds for all possible choices of such commuting A′\n\n> j\n\ns.

(It can be performed on any contact 5-manifold and at least on some examples in higher dimensions). It is likely to kill the contact homology of V [5, 6]. If you apply the twist twice you get another contact structure L2(ξ) on V, is it contactomorphic to L(ξ)?\n\nJ. Etnyre: There is another kind of twist L′ due to Etnyre and Pancholi [16] which applies to any dimensions. \n\nK. Niederkrüger: To complete the list, there is also the negative stabilization process L′′ by E. Giroux (see [22, 7]). It starts with a supporting open book for a given contact manifold (V, ξ ),adds a critical Weinstein handle to the page along a Legendrian sphere bounding a Lagrangian disk and composes the monodromy with a left-handed Dehn twist along the Lagrangian sphere obtained by capping the disk with the handle core. In dimension 5, this preserves the homotopy class of the almost contact structure. Somebody mentioned that in dimension greater than 5,applying it twice also preserves the homotopy class of the almost contact structure. In the same vein as C. Wendl's question, denoting N the process of applying L′′ twice, do we have N 2 = N?\n\nMany people: What is the relationship between L, L′ and N? J. Etnyre and P. Massot remark that they all produce contact structures that are non fillable, have vanishing contact homology and all their Reeb vector fields have a contractible closed orbit. 1P. Massot: How to find bLobs or other remarkable n+1 -dimensional submanifolds in negatively stabilized contact manifolds? \n\n1.3 Convex hypersurface theory \n\nA. Mori: What would be a useful theory of convex hypersurfaces in high dimension? There is a definition [20] as a hypersurface that is transverse to a contact vector field but E. Giroux points out that in opposition to the 3-dimensional case, this is not generic in higher dimensions. Indeed, E. Giroux says one should be able to construct examples of hypersurfaces whose characteristic foliation admits a closed orbit which is neither repelling nor attracting but rather has a hyperbolic type dynamic. This will remain after perturbation and is an obstruction to convexity. A. Mori mentioned that [32] gives an explicit example of this phenomenon. \n\nE. Murphy: Are there other obstructions for perturbing a given hypersurface to a convex one and are there conditions that guarantee the existence of such perturbations? \n\nJ. Etnyre: Is every hypersurface at least homologous to a convex hypersurface? This is a potentially easier question and is relevant to the Thurston-Bennequin question below. \n\nK. Honda: What is a good notion of a bypass in high dimension [23]? P. Massot remarks that there is a natural definition involving topologically canceling contact handles [20, 38] (but non trivial regarding contact topology), and asks if this is a good one? \n\n1.4 Thurston-Bennequin inequality \n\nA. Mori: formulated a Thurston-Bennequin type inequality [13] in any dimension that gen-eralizes the 3-dimensional case (see [32]) to some hypersurfaces whose boundary is a contact submanifold. Does it hold for the standard contact sphere S2n+1? He points out that the Lutz-Mori twist L produces contact structure that violate this inequality. He also says there is an absolute version of this inequality that trivially holds for the standard contact sphere. \n\nP. Massot: Is there a Thurston-Bennequin inequality which holds for closed hypersurfaces in fillable or tight contact manifolds? The first case to look at would be: is there any constraint on the Chern class of a 5-dimensional fillable contact manifold? \n\n1.5 Characterization of the standard contact sphere \n\nK. Niederkrüger: Are there properties that uniquely determine the standard contact S2n+1?For example, are there other contact structures on S2n+1 that are filled by a symplectic manifolds diffeomorphic to the ball D2n+2? M. Abouzaid and M. McLean answer yes: there are examples constructed by McLean in [30] (see also [2]) of Stein manifolds diffeomorphic to Cn with non standard contact boundary. \n\nM. McLean: What constraint on the symplectic structure of D2n+2 would imply that its boundary is the standard contact S2n+1? He suggests symplectic balls D2n+2 that are symplec-tomorphic to a smooth affine variety of negative log-Kodaira dimension. \n\nP. Massot: If ξ is a contact structure on S2n+1 with CH ∗(S2n+1, ξ ) ' CH ∗(S2n+1, ξ std ), are ξ\n\nand ξstd contactomorphic? \n\n1.6 Contact structure on M × S2\n\nF. Presas: Given a contact manifold (M, ξ ), can you build a contact structure on M × S2? We know there is no homotopy obstruction to this. If yes can you require in addition that for some \n\np ∈ S2, M × { p} is a contact submanifold contactomorphic to (M, ξ )?21.7 Contact fibration and orderability \n\nE. Giroux: From the paper of Eliashberg and Polterovich introducing the notion of orderability of a contact manifold [15] we can get the following statement: (M, ξ ) is non-orderable if and only if there exists a contact fibration M × S2 → S2 with fiber contactomorphic to (M, ξ ). What about topologically non trivial bundles? For 3-manifold, the problem of constructing a contact structure transverse to a given circle bundle is related to the Milnor-Wood inequality and to quasimorphisms on Diff( S1) (see [21]). Analogously, the higher dimensional question is probably related to the existence of quasimorphisms on the group of contactomorphisms of (M, ξ ).\n\n1.8 Generalized Giroux torsion \n\nWhat is the generalization of Giroux torsion for higher dimensional contact manifolds? In the morning, P. Massot proposed the notion of Giroux domain introduced recently in [28]. There is a model case S1 × M × D1 with M × D1 a Liouville manifold, which allows to produce non fillable manifolds, yet not flexible and having Reeb vector fields without contractible Reeb orbits. There is some definition of algebraic 1-torsion in SFT [25]. It is conjectured that geometric torsion implies algebraic torsion. \n\n1.9 Fillability and cobordisms \n\nRecall the general picture about fillable contact manifolds: \n\n{Exact }⊂⊂{Stein=Weinstein } {Strong } ⊂ {Weak }⊂⊂{Holomorphic }\n\nJ. Latschev: Are there obstructions to exact or Weinstein cobordisms between contact mani-folds? For example, are there strongly fillable manifolds with no exact filling? \n\nY. Eliashberg: (RP 2n+1, ξ std ) is holomorphically fillable but not Stein fillable ([14, 39]). They probably do not have exact fillings. Are (T 2n+1, ξ Bourgeois ) exactly fillable? He says they are not Stein fillable ([14]) but according to P. Massot they are weakly fillable ([28]). Y. Eliashberg expects these manifolds not to be strongly fillable. \n\nC. Wendl: In dimension 3 and 5, there are examples of weakly but not strongly fillable manifolds (see [28]). What about dimension greater than 5?\n\n1.10 Lefschetz fibration \n\nO. Plamenevskaya: Does every Weinstein domain admit a Lefschetz fibration over the disc D2?E. Giroux says he has a proof in mind using Donaldson's approximately holomorphic techniques [11], it should also work in the case of Stein domains (requiring the projection to be holomorphic) thanks to Hörmander's L2-theory, but it is not yet written. \n\nC. Wendl: Is there a hyperplane pencil decomposition of contact manifolds? By this we mean a kind of open book decomposition but with 2-dimensional pages (instead of codimension 2 pages). One interest for this comes from making these pages holomorphic while applying holomorphic curves techniques. For instance, it would probably allow to prove the Weinstein conjecture in some cases. F. Presas says there exists a notion for this and they can be constructed using approximately holomorphic techniques but resulting maps will have singularities modeled on singularities of maps from Cn+1 to Cn which are very complicated. 31.11 Open book decomposition \n\nO. Plamenevskaya: Can you say anything about contact structure using monodromy data? For example, do we have Stein fillable ⇒ there is a supporting open book whose monodromy is a product of positive Dehn twists along Lagrangian spheres? (it would be a corollary of the existence of Lefschetz fibration on Stein domains). K. Honda remarks that in low dimension there are examples of open book decomposition of Stein fillable manifolds whose monodromy is not a product of Dehn twists so one cannot hope for the stronger result that any supporting open book has such kind of monodromy. \n\nY. Eliashberg: How to read strong fillability on monodromy data? P. Massot says that it is not even clear in dimension 3.\n\nF. Presas: For (M, ξ ) an exact fillable contact manifold, does there exist an open book decom-position whose monodromy is a product of positive and negative Dehn twists? He remarks that it is a non trivial condition since there are symplectomorphisms which are not products of Dehn twists. \n\nM. Abouzaid: For example take T ∗CP n with the associated \"Dehn twist\" (not to confuse with a Dehn twist along a Lagrangian sphere, indeed it is not a product of Dehn twists because there are no Lagrangian spheres), is the contact manifold with the corresponding open book exactly fillable? E. Giroux remarks that there are other examples of symplectomorphisms which are not products of Dehn twists, the so-called fibered Dehn twists. For example, take T ∗RP n =\n\nCP n \\ Quadric, the corresponding fibered Dehn twist is not a product of Dehn twists since there are no Lagrangian spheres. \n\nC. Wendl: Take the negative \"Dehn twist\" on T ∗CP n, the associated contact manifold has probably zero contact homology (this should follow from the strategy of [7]). How does this relate to notions of overtwistedness? \n\n1.12 Fillings \n\nE. Murphy: What can you say about contact structures that are filled by a subcritical or flexible Weinstein manifold? Can you classify their fillings? Y. Eliashberg underlines that we have to study the topological type but also the symplectic type of fillings. A naive question would be: are they all symplectomorphic? \n\nY. Eliashberg: To give a concrete example, take the standard contact sphere S2n+1, we know that the fillings are all diffeomorphic to the ball D2n+2 [29], but are they all symplectomorphic? \n\n1.13 Contact manifolds with a lot of symmetries \n\nY. Karshon: Two families of contact manifolds with a lot of symmetry are \n\n• Contact toric manifolds [26]; \n\n• Prequantization circle bundles of coadjoint orbits of Lie Groups. Every compact contact manifold that admits a transitive action of a compact Lie group by coorientation preserving contactomorphisms lies in the second family above [4]. These families of manifolds constitute a good playground for contact topology. It can be interesting to compute their contact topological invariants. \n\nY. Eliashberg: Take a complex line bundle L over an integral symplectic manifold (M, ω ) with first Chern class c1(L) = n ω. The associated circle bundle V is a contact manifold. Suppose n\n\nis large, is V Stein fillable? F. Presas asks why n is supposed to be large in this problem, and Y. Eliashberg explains that it corresponds somehow to the fact that we need very ample divisor instead of just ample. Without n being large, it might be only symplectically fillable but not 4Stein fillable. E. Giroux suggests that in the case where M is a torus, the cohomology ring of V\n\ncan be an obstruction to fillability (compare [39]). M. Abouzaid asks if there are obstruction for an algebraic variety to be realized as a divisor. After some discussion, it turns out that the question has already been considered at least for hyperplane sections in [46]. \n\n1.14 Symplectization \n\nF. Presas: Suppose two contact manifolds have symplectomorphic symplectizations, are they contactomorphic? Maybe, assume in addition that the manifolds are simply connected. \n\n1.15 Sasakian manifolds \n\nK. Honda: Is there anything symplectic geometry can say about Sasakian manifolds [8]? R. Komendarczyk says that many things are known in dimension 3. In all dimensions, Sasakian manifolds are fillable (see [40, 35]). A. Mori points out that there is also a theorem of D. Martínez Torres [27] that every Sasakian manifold M 2n+1 admits a contact immersion into (S4n+3, ξ std )\n\nwhich pulls back the standard open book of S4n+3 to a supporting open book of M.\n\nF. Presas: A simply-connected closed manifold is formal over rational (resp. real) numbers if its rational (resp. real) homotopy type can be recovered from its cohomology ring. Simply-connected closed orientable manifolds of dimension ≤ 6 are formal, and there are examples of non-formal simply-connected manifolds in any dimension ≥ 7 (see [17] and the references therein). It is known [42] that Sasakian manifolds are formal (for real homotopy type). This leads us to the question of a producing non-formal contact manifolds. For example, are there non-formal simply-connected closed contact manifolds (of dim necessarily ≥ 7)? (see [18, 3] for related work). \n\n1.16 Exotic spheres and contact geometry \n\nP.

It is called the discriminant metric. Can you find examples of contact manifolds for which this metric is unbounded? We already know that it is bounded for standard S2n+1 and \n\nR2n+1 and unbounded for RP 2n+1 and R2n × S1. Are there necessary or sufficient conditions for this metric to be unbounded?

Colin: If there are no contractible Reeb orbits, are Reeb flows geodesics in the contactomor-phism group with respect to the discriminant metric (meaning length-minimizing path)? There is also a metric for Legendrian isotopies (in fact the metric on contactomorphism group comes from this.) In the case of T 2 × [− π \n\n> 2, π \n\n> 2\n\n], with contact structure ker (cos( t)d x − sin( t)d y),take the Legendrian circle {y = 0 } in T 2 × { 0} and the isotopy that rotates this in the y direction \n\nn times. The length of this Legendrian isotopy with respect to the discriminant metric is exactly 5n (see [10]). What happens for the length of this isotopy if we replace T 2 × [− π \n\n> 2, π \n\n> 2\n\n] by T 2 × R?Intuitively, it should be the same result but there is no proof at present. E. Giroux asks if we know something in the overtwisted case, for example if T 2 is the boundary of a Lutz tube. Again, it is not known. P. Massot and C. Wendl discuss also that there may be higher dimensional analogues of this question. \n\nM. Fraser: There is also a metric constructed by M. Fraser and L. Polterovich, and yet another one by F.

Take an exact Lagrangian concor-dance Λ in the symplectization SM of M between L at the top and another Legendrian at the bottom. Then the Liouville form restricted to Λ writes df for some function f: Λ → R which is constant on L and uniquely defined by imposing that this constant is zero. How large can f\n\nbe at the bottom? Is there a bound? Is it always unbounded? M. Abouzaid remarks that if the Reeb flow on M is complete (for example if M is a closed manifold), then flowing L along the Reeb flow while moving down in the symplectization yields f as large as we want at the bot-tom. However the question is interesting for manifolds with non complete Reeb flow, typically the complement of a Legendrian submanifold in a contact manifold. V. Colin points out that this might be related to the previous question about length of contact isotopies with respect to metrics on the contactomorphism group. \n\n2.3 Loose Legendrians \n\nE. Murphy: We know that the space of loose Legendrians is C0-dense in the space of Legen-drians (see [33]). Is it also C0-open? That is, if we take a loose Legendrian and we C0-perturb it, is it still loose? V. Colin remarks that in dimension 3, all knots C0-close to a stabilized one are also stabilized, which is the 3-dimensional analogue of the question. \n\nA. Mori: He explains that Lutz-Mori tubes can be deformed into foliations [31], and asks whether this may give restrictions on loose knots. \n\n2.4 Open book decompositions \n\nC. Wendl: Given a contact manifold (M, ξ ), what are the constraints on open books supporting \n\nξ? For example, M. Abouzaid formulates something vague like, given an abstract open book decomposition of a manifold with pages admitting Weinstein structure, can it support a given contact structure? F. Presas points out that it is related to the following problem: given a diffeomorphism of a Weinstein manifold which is the identity near the boundary, can it be deformed into a symplectic diffeomorphism among diffeomorphism that are the identity on the boundary? Of course a positive answer is rather unlikely and would lead to existence of contact structures in higher dimensions. \n\nE. Giroux: gives an example of this problem: the group π0 Diff( D6, ∂D 6) has 28 connected components [24, 9], each of which gives an open book for the corresponding exotic 7sphere. Can these diffeomorphisms be deformed to symplectic diffeomorphisms? We can also ask the question for higher dimensional balls. \n\nO. van Koert: Take T ∗S2 with even multiples of the right-handed Dehn twist τ, it gives an infinite family of contact manifolds Mk = OB (T ∗S2, τ 2k) for all k ≥ 1. These manifolds are diffeomorphic to S2 × S3, the contact structures are homotopic as almost contact structures and all have the same contact homology. Are they contactomorphic? E. Giroux also asks the question for negative k.62.5 Contact structures on S5\n\nE. Giroux: How many different contact structures do we know on S5? O. van Koert explains that Brieskorn spheres provide an infinite family [43]. Then it was shown that a connected sum of Brieskorn spheres is no longer a Brieskorn sphere [44], so this produces new ones. M. McLean also points out that there are infinitely many different symplectic balls D6, and their boundaries are very likely to be non contactomorphic (but it is not yet proved). We know that there is at least one non-standard S5 in this family because it has exponential growth of periodic Reeb orbits, and therefore cannot be the standard contact sphere. There is also a non-fillable contact structure on any sphere constructed in [37].", "clean_statement": null, "public_statement": "2 Tuesday\n\n2.1 Metrics on contactomorphism group\n\nM. Sandon: There is an integer-valued biinvariant metric on the universal cover of the contac-tomorphism group of any contact manifold, which was recently constructed by M. Sandon and V. Colin in [10]. It is called the discriminant metric. Can you find examples of contact manifolds for which this metric is unbounded? We already know that it is bounded for standard S2n+1 and\n\nR2n+1 and unbounded for RP 2n+1 and R2n × S1. Are there necessary or sufficient conditions for this metric to be unbounded? Having a 1-periodic Reeb flow is not sufficient, but maybe one only needs to add the hypothesis that Reeb orbits are non contractible. Is it compatible with the partial order constructed in [15]?\n\nV. Colin: If there are no contractible Reeb orbits, are Reeb flows geodesics in the contactomor-phism group with respect to the discriminant metric (meaning length-minimizing path)? There is also a metric for Legendrian isotopies (in fact the metric on contactomorphism group comes from this.) In the case of T 2 × [− π\n\n> 2, π\n\n> 2\n\n], with contact structure ker (cos( t)d x − sin( t)d y),take the Legendrian circle {y = 0 } in T 2 × { 0} and the isotopy that rotates this in the y direction\n\nn times. The length of this Legendrian isotopy with respect to the discriminant metric is exactly 5n (see [10]). What happens for the length of this isotopy if we replace T 2 × [− π\n\n> 2, π\n\n> 2\n\n] by T 2 × R?Intuitively, it should be the same result but there is no proof at present. E. Giroux asks if we know something in the overtwisted case, for example if T 2 is the boundary of a Lutz tube. Again, it is not known. P. Massot and C. Wendl discuss also that there may be higher dimensional analogues of this question.\n\nM. Fraser: There is also a metric constructed by M. Fraser and L. Polterovich, and yet another one by F. Zapolsky [45]. How do they relate to each other? Are they quasi-isometric?\n\n2.2 Lagrangian concordance\n\nY. Eliashberg: Let L ⊂ (M, ξ ) a Legendrian submanifold. Take an exact Lagrangian concor-dance Λ in the symplectization SM of M between L at the top and another Legendrian at the bottom. Then the Liouville form restricted to Λ writes df for some function f: Λ → R which is constant on L and uniquely defined by imposing that this constant is zero. How large can f\n\nbe at the bottom? Is there a bound? Is it always unbounded? M. Abouzaid remarks that if the Reeb flow on M is complete (for example if M is a closed manifold), then flowing L along the Reeb flow while moving down in the symplectization yields f as large as we want at the bot-tom. However the question is interesting for manifolds with non complete Reeb flow, typically the complement of a Legendrian submanifold in a contact manifold. V.

The usual piecewise linear toggles on O(P ) now induce a toggle operation on these P -partitions. (For P of tableaux shape with boxes p ∈ P, we record the number of elements \n\n(p, j ) in the box p, and we may then add i to the boxes in the ith row to get column-strict tableaux.) For certain posets (minuscule, types A, B, H 3, I 2(m)), there are very nice for-mulas for the number of these plane partitions. (Since they have hook-length for-mulas, we expect that there must also be nice formulas for P -partitions of height \n\nk in d-complete posets). For example, minuscule posets P have P -partitions of height k counted by \n\nJ(P × [k]) = ∏\n\n> x∈P\n\n[ht (x) + k]q\n\n[ht (x)] q,\n\nwhile types W = A, B, H 3, I 2(m) have the \"uniform\" formula [CLS14] \n\nJ(Φ +(W ) × [k]) = ∏\n\n> 0≤j 1≤i≤n\n\n[di + h + 2 j]q\n\n[di + 2 j]q.", "clean_statement": "**Conjecture 4.4 (Williams, as recorded by AIM).** Let \\(p>1\\) be an integer and \\(s\\in\\mathbb N\\).

The number of blocks (a statistic on NC (n)) is homomesic under σ with average value (n + 1) /2 on each σ-orbit. \n\nThis conjecture has been verified for n ≤ 8, with help from Striker's gen-eralized toggling code (written in Sage). It should be noted that this action is not conjugate to the Panyushev complement, since for instance NC (4) consists of a single orbit of size 14 (rather than orbits of size 8, 4, and 2). In more detail, the orbit-decompositions for 2 ≤ n ≤ 8 are 2 = 2, 5 = 3 + 2, 14 = 14,\n\n42 = 15 + 13 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 3, 132 = 112 + 20, 429 = 133 + 109 + 39 + 39 + 31 + 15 + 13 + 11 + 9 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, and 1430 = 1240 + 144 + 32 + 8 + 6.Note that when n is even, the conjecture implies that all orbits have even cardinality. Also, if the conjecture is true, it's a dramatic illustration of the claim that homomesy can occur even when the orbit structure of a combinatorial dynamical system is \"horrible\" (from the point of view of cyclic sieving, say). Variants of σ that arise from composing the τi,j 's in a different order appear to be related to already-studied maps on Catalan objects. 17 References \n\n[Agg14] Amol Aggarwal, Armstrong's conjecture for (k, mk + 1) -core parti-tions, arXiv preprint arXiv:1407.5134 (2014).

We concentrate on the case of the geodesic flow on compact (or, more generally, finite volume) Riemannian man-ifold X possibly with piecewise smooth boundary (e.g. billiards in R2). The geodesic flow on the boundary is defined as elastic reflection. Denote by ∆ the Laplace-Beltrami operator on X and by dV the normalized Riemannian volume on X.

According to the corre-spondence principle in quantum mechanics, certain properties of the classical dynamical system are inherited by the semiclassical limit of its quantization. OPEN PROBLEMS 16 \n\nConsider the probability measures \n\ndμ i(x) = |φi(x)|2dV (x)on X. One of the fundamental questions is to describe all possible weak ∗\n\nlimits of the sequence {μi} as i → ∞, which are called quantum limits. It was shown (see also [182, 204, 36, 207]) that if the geodesic flow is ergodic on X,then μik → dV in the weak ∗ topology as ik → ∞ along a subsequence {ik} of density one. This property is referred as quantum ergodicity.In general, it might be possible that some of the quantum limits are not absolutely continuous and even assign positive measure to an unstable periodic orbit (this is called a scar ) or to a family of marginally stable periodic orbits (this is called a bouncing ball mode ). However, it seems that no rigorous proof of this phenomena has been given. For example, for the stadium billiard there are substantial numerical and heuristic evidences of the existence of scars and bouncing ball modes (see, for example, [82, 91, 119, 8, 187] and references therein). On the other hand, the numerical data in [12] suggest that no scarring occurs for some dispersive billiards. Some numerical experiments were performed for X = Γ \\H2, where Γ is an arithmetic lattice, and no scars were observed (see [81, 80, 4]). Z. Rudnick and P.

OPEN PROBLEMS 16\n\nConsider the probability measures\n\ndμ i(x) = |φi(x)|2dV (x)on X. One of the fundamental questions is to describe all possible weak ∗\n\nlimits of the sequence {μi} as i → ∞, which are called quantum limits. It was shown (see also [182, 204, 36, 207]) that if the geodesic flow is ergodic on X,then μik → dV in the weak ∗ topology as ik → ∞ along a subsequence {ik} of density one. This property is referred as quantum ergodicity.In general, it might be possible that some of the quantum limits are not absolutely continuous and even assign positive measure to an unstable periodic orbit (this is called a scar ) or to a family of marginally stable periodic orbits (this is called a bouncing ball mode ). However, it seems that no rigorous proof of this phenomena has been given. For example, for the stadium billiard there are substantial numerical and heuristic evidences of the existence of scars and bouncing ball modes (see, for example, [82, 91, 119, 8, 187] and references therein). On the other hand, the numerical data in [12] suggest that no scarring occurs for some dispersive billiards.
