Seminaret unders?ker kj?nnede forestillinger fra polaromr?denes kultur- og vitenskapshistorie gjennom presentasjoner og en panelsamtale. 

How do we read novels translingually? What strategies and literary techniques characterise multilingual literary texts? How does multilingual literature (re-)shape the canon? What metaphors do bilingual authors use to conceptualise multilingualism?

At this workshop, we will discuss multilingual writing from Eastern Europe from different theoretical and historical perspectives. 

In this lecture, Alexandre de Vitry (Sorbonne) will discuss the concept of brotherhood in literary history

A peculiarity of nonlinear hyperbolic problems is that they must be interpreted as limits of second-order equations with vanishing viscosity. Despite not explicitly being present in the hyperbolic case, diffusion is needed, e. g., at discontinuities or to avoid the occurrence of nonphysical states. In the case of gas dynamics, for instance, dissipation corresponds to the production of thermodynamic entropy. To solve hyperbolic problems numerically, one needs to adapt these ideas to the discrete setting. Standard high-order methods, however, do not incorporate the appropriate amounts of artificial viscosity because these need to be chosen adaptively based on the solution. Among the high-resolution schemes capable of doing so are the recently proposed monolithic convex limiting (MCL) techniques [1] to be discussed in this talk. They offer a way to enforce physical admissibility, entropy stability, and discrete maximum principles for conservation laws. These methods can also be generalized to systems of balance laws in a well-balanced manner [2]. In addition to second-order finite element methods, extensions to high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes shall also be presented [3]. Numerical examples for the so-called KPP problem, the nonconservative shallow water system, and the compressible Euler equations will be shown. An overview of MCL and other property-preserving methods can be found in our recently published book [4].

We prove that (logarithmic, Nygaard completed) prismatic and (logarithmic) syntomic cohomology are representable in the category of logarithmic motives. As an application, we immediately obtain Gysin maps for prismatic and syntomic cohomology, and we precisely identify their cofibers. In the second part of the talk we develop a descent technique that we call saturated descent, inspired by the work of Niziol on log K-theory. Using this, we prove crystalline comparison theorems for log prismatic cohomology, log Segal conjectures and log analogues of the Breuil-Kisin prismatic cohomology, from which we get Gysin maps for the A_inf cohomology.
