- Abstract
  
  I will discuss the classification of minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g = q$. Beauville showed that $q \leq 4$, with equality precisely for products of two curves of genus $2$. For $q = 3$, the classification gives two possibilities up to birational equivalence.
  The talk will focus on the case $p_g = q = 2$, where $4 \leq K^2 \leq 9$. The classification is complete for $K^2 = 4, 5$ and $6$, following work of Du, Jiang and Zhang and earlier contributions. The first open case is $K^2 = 7$.
  For $K^2 = 7$, let $d$ denote the degree of the Albanese map. Our main result describes the corresponding loci in the moduli space. For $d = 2$, the locus has exactly three connected components, each of dimension two. For $d = 3$, the locus is irreducible of dimension three and consists precisely of the CFPP surfaces.
  
  This is joint work in progress with F. Catanese.

- Abstract
  
  Spatial transcriptomics has revolutionized our ability to measure gene expression within intact tissues at single-cell and subcellular resolution. In practice, gene expression patterns may occur at different resolutions: some genes follow broad spatial trends across the tissue, whereas others show more localized patterns associated with specific regions, cell populations, or microenvironments. In this talk, I will present SLICE, a Bayesian model that jointly represents spatial and latent sources of variation. The model combines a multiscale spline representation of spatial coordinates with a low-rank latent component and a Bayesian hierarchy for recurrent gene-specific spatial profiles. For scalability, inference uses stochastic variational methods, with automatic differentiation and GPU acceleration. This is joint work with Alex Cecchetto and Francesco Denti.

- Aula Seminari III piano
- Abstract
  
  In this talk, I will discuss connected solvable subgroups of the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ of an arbitrary algebraic variety $X$. When $X$ is projective, these subgroups are well-studied because the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ is finite-dimensional. However, for general or affine $X$, the problem becomes rather difficult.
  
  The result I will discuss: if $X$ is a quasi-affine variety, then every solvable subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ that is generated by an irreducible algebraic family containing the identity is an algebraic group. As an application, we will see that for a general variety $X$:
  
  - The derived length of a connected solvable subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ is bounded by $\dim(X) + 1$, which implies it is contained in a Borel subgroup.
  
  - Every subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ admits well-defined solvable and unipotent radicals. Furthermore, the unipotent radical is an increasing union of connected unipotent algebraic subgroups.

- Abstract
  
  A Verra fourfold is a double cover of $\mathbb P^2 \times \mathbb P^2$, branched along a divisor of bidegree (2,2). Its two natural quadric surface fibrations give rise to twisted K3 surfaces, providing a connection between the geometry and derived categories.
  
  In this talk, I will present a joint work with Augustinas Jacovskis and Reinder Meinsm. I will discuss how lattice-theoretic methods can be used to study these fourfolds and construct examples with interesting geometric and categorical properties. In particular, I will focus on the count of their Fourier-Mukai partners and construct arbitrarily large families of pairwise non-isomorphic Verra fourfolds with equivalent Kuznetsov components.

- Abstract
  
  Given a scalar-valued discontinuous piecewise polynomial on a simplicial mesh, a potential reconstruction is a piecewise polynomial that is trace continuous, i.e., H1-conforming. It is best obtained via local homogeneous Dirichlet problems (finite element primal energy minimization) on vertex patches. Similarly, given a vector-valued discontinuous piecewise polynomial not having the target curl or divergence, a flux reconstruction is a piecewise polynomial that is tangential- or normal-trace continuous, i.e., H(curl)- or H(div)-conforming, and has the target curl or divergence. It is best obtained via local homogeneous Neumann problems (finite element dual energy constrained minimization). The theory of broken polynomial extension operators [Braess, Pillwein, Schoeberl, Equilibrated residual error estimates are p-robust, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg. 198 (2009), 1189–1197] and [1, 2] allows to prove that such discrete, piecewise polynomial minimizations are equivalent to the continuous (Sobolev spaces) ones uniformly in the polynomial degree p. In a second step, a local p-stable decomposition such as [Schoeberl, Melenk, Pechstein, Zaglmayr, Additive Schwarz preconditioning for p-version triangular and tetrahedral finite elements, IMA J. Numer. Anal. 28 (2008), 1–24] or [Falk and Winther, Local space-preserving decompositions for the bubble transform, Found. Comput. Math. 26 (2025), 1219–1267] may be employed and some developments from algebraic topology (simplicial complexes, shellability, subdivisions) may be used.
  The concepts of potential and flux reconstructions are known to lead to guaranteed, locally efficient, and polynomial-degree-robust a posteriori error estimates, which we quickly recall here.
  We focus on showing that potential and flux reconstructions can also be used to obtain novel a priori error estimates. They in particular allow to devise local commuting projectors [3, 4, 5] that are uniformly stable in the polynomial degree p, with the approximation property being that of local-best unconstrained projection. This means that the precision of the commuting projector is, up to a constant only possibly depending on the mesh shape regularity, as good as that of the L2 projection over individual mesh elements, without any continuity requirement along mesh faces, and without any curl or divergence constraint. Therefrom, optimal hp approximation estimates, where the minimal Sobolev regularity is only requested separately on each mesh element, follow. The designed local commuting projectors naturally allow treatment of nontrivial domains and partial boundary conditions.

- Abstract
  
  Iterative finite element solvers for time-harmonic wave problems are notoriously slow to converge, owing to fundamental properties of these problems. We present a variant of the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method that is better suited to fast iterative solution. Unlike the standard hybridization strategy, which eliminates physical unknowns by introducing an auxiliary numerical flux on element faces, our approach instead introduces a transmission variable on those faces. For Helmholtz problems, this reformulation, known as CHDG, has been shown to significantly accelerate the convergence of iterative schemes relative to standard HDG. The present work extends CHDG to a general framework covering wave propagation problems with constant coefficients, capable of handling diverse wave types in a unified manner. We prove that the resulting hybridized system is well-posed and amenable to fixed-point iteration. As a practical application, we apply the method to the time-harmonic linearized Euler equations with a uniform subsonic mean flow. The method is illustrated through two-dimensional numerical benchmarks involving both sound and vorticity waves, with a systematic comparison of the convergence behaviour of several iterative schemes across a range of configurations.

- This workshop is the latest edition of a series organized periodically and jointly by colleagues from Genova, Torino and Milano since 2008. These Italian cities are quite close between each other, forming the vertices of an almost equilateral triangle. We took advantage of such a convenient geographical situation to regularly organize small workshops, with researchers from the three cities (and usually one or two external guests) as speakers. The aim is to give both an overview on some recent results on Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry, and the opportunity for researchers working on similar topics to compare recent results and techniques. The outcome is to strengthen past and present collaborations and to give young researchers the opportunity to present their results. Previous editions took place in Torino (September 2008, April 2010, June 2012, October 2014, Novembre 2017, September 2021, November 2024), Genova (March 2009, February 2011, March 2013, February 2016, February 2017, September 2019, June 2023, February 2026) and Milano (November 2009, November 2011, January 2014, September 2015, July 2018, February 2024).

- Computational neurology aims to support neurologists by developing physics-based and data-driven models of the human central nervous system under both physiological and pathological conditions. Through high-performance simulations, multiscale mechanisms and multiphysics processes that are difficult to measure in vivo can be investigated. Moreover, integrating clinical data into these models enables personalization, forming the foundation for digital twins that support diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring. Bringing these approaches into clinical practice is an interdisciplinary challenge that opens new opportunities in precision medicine. The proposed school aims to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of mathematical multiscale and multiphysics models of nervous system function, as well as state-of-the-art methods for the numerical approximation of these complex models and data-driven strategies for model personalization from multi-modal data. In addition, medical doctors will share their clinical perspective and highlight the most pressing challenges encountered in patient care.
