Lifting differential equations, in-dept
Abstract: I will introduce generalized Heun's equations following Boalch-Katz-Simpson,
and show how two equations in BKS correspondence share the same kernell.
This is joint work in progress with Ilia Gaiur.

The product formula for Fredholm determinants and related questions
Abstract: Fredholm determinants are the natural generalization of Linear Algebra determinants to certain operators acting on a Hilbert or Banach space being naturally related to the trace resp. trace ideals (e.g. B.Simon's Book on trace ideals). Its product formula (for operators of the form I+A with A in a higher trace ideal) has only quite recently be fully understood and it exhibits quite some interesting combinatorial features. I will report on a proof which was developed in a recent Masters Thesis with my student Nikolaos Koutsonikos-Kouloumpis (https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.12923). If time permits I will hint at another a priori quite different generalization of determinant in the context of elliptic operators; a posteriori there are interesting relations between the two notions. That latter is joint work with Luiz Hartmann (J. Funct. Anal. 283 (2022))

The Friendship Paradox for Social Networks
Abstract: In 1991, the American sociologist Scott Feld discovered the paradoxical phenomenon that `your friends are more popular than you are'. This statement means the following. Consider a group of individuals who form a social network. For each individual in the group, compute the difference between the average number of friends of friends and the number of friends (all friendships are mutual), and average these numbers over all the individuals in the group. It turns out that the latter average is always non-negative, and is strictly positive as soon as not all individuals have exactly the same number of friends. This bias, which at first glance seems counterintuitive, goes under the name of friendship paradox, even though it is a hard fact. In this lecture we model the social network as a sparse random graph. We explain where the bias comes from, how it can be quantified, and illustrate our findings with two examples.
