Algebraic Geometry Seminar

15:30-17:00   Room #128 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Jungkai Alfred Chen (National Taiwan University)
Three Dimensional Birational Geoemtry--updates and problems (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk I will talk about some recent results on
biratioanl classification and biratioanl geoemtry of threefolds.

Given a threefold of general type, we improved our previous result by
showing that $Vol \\ge 1/1680$ and $|mK_X|$ is biratioanl for $m \\ge
61$.
Compare with the worst known example that $X_{46} \\subset
\\mathbb{P}(4,5,6,7,23)$, one also knows that there are only finiteley
many singularities type
for threefolds of general type with $1/1680 \\le Vol \\le 1/420$. It is
then intereting to study threefolds of general type with given basket
of singularities and with given fiber structure.
Concerning threefolds with intermediate Kodaira dimension, we
considered the effective Iitaka fibration. For this purpose, it is
interesting to study threefolds with $\\kappa=1$ with given basket of
singularities and abelian fibration.

For explicit birational geoemtry, we will show our result that each
biratioanl map in minimal model program can be factored into a
sequence of following maps (or its inverse)
1. a divisorial contraction to a point of index r with discrepancy 1/r.
2. a blowup along a smooth curve
3. a flop

Let $M$ be a compact irreducible Hermitian symmetric space. We determine the full group of holomorphic and anti-holomorphic transformations of $M$. Also we characterize that full group as the automorphism group of the $G$-structure on $M$, called a generalized conformal structure.

[ Abstract ]
A class of fractional differential equations is formulated as an evolution equation on the memory space with non-local boundary condition. Based on such a formulation the mathematical theory of evolution equations is applied to concrete examples of nonlinear fractional PDEs.

Funk metric on Weil-Petersson spaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We discuss the Funk function $F(x; y)$ on a Teichmuller space with the Weil-Petersson metric introduced by Yamada, $F(x; y)$ is an asymmetric distance and invariant by the action of the mapping class group. The Funk metric was originally studied for an open convex subset in a Euclidean space by Funk. Its symmetrization is the Hilbert metric.

A generalization of Kato's local epsilon conjecture for
(φ, Γ)-modules over the Robba ring (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In his preprint “Lectures on the approach to Iwasawa theory of Hasse-Weil L-functions via B_dR, Part II ", Kazuya Kato proposed a conjecture called local epsilon conjecture. This conjecture predicts that the determinant of the Galois cohomology of a family of p-adic Galois representations has a canonical base whose specializations at de Rham points can be characterized by using Bloch-Kato exponential, L-factors and Deligne-Langlands epsilon constants of the associated Weil-Deligne representations.
In my talk, I generalize his conjecture for families of (φ, Γ)-modules over the Robba ring, and prove a part of this conjecture in the trianguline case. The two key ingredients are the recent result of Kedlaya-Pottharst-Xiao on the finiteness of cohomologies of (φ, Γ)-modules and my result on Bloch-Kato exponential map for (φ, Γ)-modules.

Hideaki Ikoma (Kyoto University)
On the existence of strictly effective basis on an arithmetic variety (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
I would like to talk about some recent work of mine on the asymptotic behavior of the successive minima associated to a graded arithmetic linear series. A complete arithmetic linear series belonging to a hermitian line bundle on an arithmetic variety is defined as the Z-module of the global sections endowed with the supremum-norm, and the successive minima are invariants that measure the size of the sections with small norms.
If time permits, I would like to also explain some close relationship between the results and the general equi-distribution theory of rational points on an arithmetic variety.

[ Abstract ]
I will describe some problems related to currents in XXZ chains:
Drude conductivity, Linbladt equation, tasep, matrix ansatz,
in particular the relation of permanent currents with integrability.

deformation of fusion rules in minimal models and Macdonald polynomials.

Jean-Paul Brasselet (CNRS (Luminy))
The asymptotic variety of polynomial maps (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The asymptotic variety, or set of non-properness has been intensively studied by Zbigniew Jelonek. In a recent paper, Anna and Guillaume Valette associate to a polynomial map $F: {\\mathbb C}^n \\to {\\mathbb C}^n$ a singular variety $N_F$ and relate properness property of $F$ to the vanishing of some intersection homology groups of $N_F$. I will explain how stratifications of the asymptotic variety of $F$ play an important role in the story and how recently, one of my students, Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, found a nice way to exhibit such a suitable stratification.

The Tate conjecture for K3 surfaces and holomorphic symplectic varieties over finite fields (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We prove the Tate conjecture for divisors on reductions of holomorphic symplectic varieties over finite fields -- with some restrictions on the characteristic of the base field. We will be concerned mostly with the supersingular case. As a special case, we prove the Tate conjecture, also known as Artin's conjecture in our case, for K3 surfaces over finite fields of characteristic at least 5 and for codimension 2 cycles on cubic fourfolds.

Large subalgebras of crossed product $C^*$-algebras (ENGLISH)

FMSP Lectures

N. Christopher Phillips (Univ. Oregon)
Large subalgebras of crossed product C*-algebras (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This is work in progress; not everything has been checked.
We define a "large subalgebra" and a "centrally large subalgebra" of a C*-algebra. The motivating example is what we now call the "orbit breaking subalgebra" of the crossed product by a minimal homeomorphism h of a compact metric space X. Let v be the standard unitary in the crossed product C* (Z, X, h). For a closed subset Y of X, we form the subalgebra of C* (Z, X, h) generated by C (X) and all elements f v for f in C (X) such that f vanishes on Y. When each orbit meets Y at most once, this subalgebra is centrally large in the crossed product. Crossed products by smooth free minimal actions of Zd also contain centrally large subalgebras which are simple direct limits, with no dimension growth, of recursive subhomogeneous algebras.
If B is a large subalgebra of A, then the Cuntz semigroups of A and B are the almost the same: if one deletes the classes of nonzero projections, then the inclusion is a bijection on what is left. Also (joint work with Dawn Archey), if B is a centrally large subalgebra of A, and B has stable rank one, then so does A. Moreover, if B is a centrally large subalgebra of A, if B is Z-stable, and if A is nuclear, then A is Z-stable.

Homotopy-theoretic methods in the study of spaces of knots and links (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
I will survey the ways in which some homotopy-theoretic
methods, manifold calculus of functors main among them, have in recent
years been used for extracting information about the topology of
spaces of knots and links. Cosimplicial spaces and operads will also
be featured. I will end with some recent results about spaces of
homotopy string links and in particular about how one can use functor
calculus in combination with configuration space integrals to extract
information about Milnor invariants.
