Book Description
In the space of polynomials in two variables $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ with complex coefficients we let the group of automorphisms of the affine plane $\mathbb{A}^2_{\mathbb{C}}$ act by composition on the right. In this paper we investigate the geometry of the orbit space. We associate a graph with each polynomial in two variables that encodes part of its geometric properties at infinity; we define a partition of $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ imposing that the polynomials in the same stratum are the polynomials with a fixed associated graph. The graphs associated with polynomials belong to certain class of graphs (called behaviour graphs), that has a purely combinatorial definition.We show that any behaviour graph is actually a graph associated with a polynomial. Using this we manage to give a quite precise geometric description of the subsets of the partition. We associate a moduli functor with each behaviour graph of the class, which assigns to each scheme $T$ the set of families of polynomials with the given graph parametrized over $T$. Later, using the language of groupoids, we prove that there exists a geometric quotient of the subsets of the partition associated with the given graph by the equivalence relation induced by the action of Aut$(\mathbb{C}^2)$. This geometric quotient is a coarse moduli space for the moduli functor associated with the graph. We also give a geometric description of it based on the combinatorics of the associated graph. The results presented in this memoir need the development of a certain combinatorial formalism. Using it we are also able to reprove certain known theorems in the subject.

Book Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Lie Algebras, Vertex Operator Algebras, and Related Topics, celebrating the 70th birthday of James Lepowsky and Robert Wilson, held from August 14–18, 2015, at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana. Since their seminal work in the 1970s, Lepowsky and Wilson, their collaborators, their students, and those inspired by their work, have developed an amazing body of work intertwining the fields of Lie algebras, vertex algebras, number theory, theoretical physics, quantum groups, the representation theory of finite simple groups, and more. The papers presented here include recent results and descriptions of ongoing research initiatives representing the broad influence and deep connections brought about by the work of Lepowsky and Wilson and include a contribution by Yi-Zhi Huang summarizing some major open problems in these areas, in particular as they pertain to two-dimensional conformal field theory.

Book Description
We study features of the longtime behavior and the spatial continuum limit for the diffusion limit of the following particle model. Consider populations consisting of two types of particles located on sites labeled by a countable group. The populations of each of the types evolve as follows: each particle performs a random walk and dies or splits in two with probability $\frac{1} {2}$ and the branching rates of a particle of each type at a site $x$ at time $t$ is proportional to the size of the population at $x$ at time $t$ of the other type. The diffusion limit of ''small mass, large number of initial particles'' is a pair of two coupled countable collections of interacting diffusions, the mutually catalytic super branching random walk.Consider now increasing sequences of finite subsets of sites and define the corresponding finite versions of the process. We study the evolution of these large finite spatial systems in size-dependent time scales and compare them with the behavior of the infinite systems, which amounts to establishing the so-called finite system scheme. A dichotomy is known between transient and recurrent symmetrized migrations for the infinite system, namely, between convergence to equilibria allowing for coexistence in the first case and concentration on monotype configurations in the second case.Correspondingly we show in the recurrent case both large finite and infinite systems behave similar in all time scales, in the transient case we see for small time scales a behavior resembling the one of the infinite system, whereas for large time scales the system behaves as in the finite case with fixed size and finally in intermediate scales interesting behavior is exhibited, the system diffuses through the equilibria of the infinite system which are indexed by the pair of intensities and this diffusion process can be described as mutually catalytic diffusion on $(\R^ )^2$. At the same time, the above finite system asymptotics can be applied to mean-field systems of $N$ exchangeable mutually catalytic diffusions. This is the building block for a renormalization analysis of the spatially infinite hierarchical model and leads to an association of this system with the so-called interaction chain, which reflects the behavior of the process on large space-time scales.Similarly we introduce the concept of a continuum limit in the hierarchical mean field limit and show that this limit always exists and that the small-scale properties are described by another Markov chain called small scale characteristics. Both chains are analyzed in detail and exhibit the following interesting effects. The small scale properties of the continuum limit exhibit the dichotomy, overlap or segregation of densities of the two populations, as a function of the underlying random walk kernel. A corresponding concept to study hot spots is presented. Next we look in the transient regime for global equilibria and their equilibrium fluctuations and in the recurrent regime on the formation of monotype regions.For particular migration kernels in the recurrent regime we exhibit diffusive clustering, which means that the sizes (suitable defined) of monotype regions have a random order of magnitude as time proceeds and its distribution is explicitly identifiable. On the other hand in the regime of very large clusters we identify the deterministic order of magnitude of monotype regions and determine the law of the random size. These two regimes occur for different migration kernels than for the cases of ordinary branching or Fisher-Wright diffusion. Finally we find a third regime of very rapid deterministic spatial cluster growth which is not present in other models just mentioned. A further consequence of the analysis is that mutually catalytic branching has a fixed point property under renormalization and gives a natural example different from the trivial case of multitype models consisting of two independent versions of the fixed points for the one type case.

Book Description
Complex symplectic spaces, defined earlier by the authors in their ""AMS Monograph"", are non-trivial generalizations of the real symplectic spaces of classical analytical dynamics. These spaces can also be viewed as non-degenerate indefinite inner product spaces, although the authors here follow the lesser known exposition within complex symplectic algebra and geometry, as is appropriate for their prior development of boundary value theory. In the case of finite dimensional complex symplectic spaces it was shown that the corresponding symplectic algebra is important for the description and classification of all self-adjoint boundary value problems for (linear) ordinary differential equations on a real interval.In later ""AMS Memoirs"" infinite dimensional complex symplectic spaces were introduced for the analysis of multi-interval systems and elliptic partial differential operators. In this current Memoir the authors present a self-contained, systematic investigation of general complex symplectic spaces, and their Lagrangian subspaces, regardless of the finite or infinite dimensionality - starting with axiomatic definitions and leading towards general Glazman-Krein-Naimark (GKN) theorems.In particular, the appropriate relevant topologies on such a symplectic space $\mathsf{S}$ are compared and contrasted, demonstrating that $\mathsf{S}$ is a locally convex linear topological space in terms of the symplectic weak topology. Also the symplectic invariants are defined (as cardinal numbers) characterizing $\mathsf{S}$, in terms of suitable Hilbert structures on $\mathsf{S}$. The penultimate section is devoted to a review of the applications of symplectic algebra to the motivating of boundary value problems for ordinary and partial differential operators. The final section, the Aftermath, is a review and summary of the relevant literature on the theory and application of complex symplectic spaces. The Memoir is completed by symbol and subject indexes.
