[ Abstract ]
MacWilliams変換と呼ばれる変換で不変な複素2変数斉次多項式に対して、zeta多項式と呼ばれる複素1変数多項式を定義する。
TypeIV extremal と呼ばれる不変式の無限列に対し、deg = 0 (mod 6) の場合には、対応する全ての zeta多項式の零点が同一円周上に乗るという事が証明されているが、deg = 2,4 (mod 6) の場合は未解決であった。
この講演では、不変式に対する微分作用素を用いて、deg = 4 (mod6) の場合にも全てのzeta多項式の零点が同一円周上に乗るということを示したい。

On the Johnson homomorphisms of the automorphism group of
a free metabelian group
[ Abstract ]
The main object of our research is the automorphism group of a
free group. To be brief, the Johnson homomorphisms are studied in order to
describe one by one approximations of the automorphism group of a free group
. They play important roles on the study of the homology groups of the autom
orphism group of a free group. In general, to determine their images are ver
y difficult problem. In this talk, we define the Johnson homomorphisms of th
e automorphism group of a free metabelian group, and determine their images.
Using these results, we can give a lower bound on the image of the Johnson
homomorphisms of the automorphism group of a free group.

Quantum topological invariants and black hole entropy
[ Abstract ]
A type of topological invariants of three manifolds were
introduced by Turaev and Viro. We will define an invariant of graphs
embedded in a three dimensional manifold in a Turaev-Viro spirit.
The relation of these invariants to mathematical physics is
a really nice one. We will show how entropy of a three dimensional
black hole known as BTZ can be described using our formulation.

アイテムの選好度のモデルとパラメタ推定法 - Plackett-Luceモデルの一般化 -
[ Abstract ]
アイテムの比較やランキングデータが多数与えられたとき、一つ一つのアイテムが潜在的に持つ 価値を決定する問題は、心理学、経済学、政治学などの分野で古くから研究が行われているが、 近年機械学習の分野でも注目されている。 Plackett-Luceモデルはアイテムへのランキングの確率モデルであり、アイテム一つ一つに 多項分布のパラメタを割り当ててアイテム選択のプロセスを説明する。 本発表では、映画評の生成プロセスに注目し、Plackett-Luceの一般化として グループ化ランキングモデルを提案する。このモデルの尤度関数を直接評価することは 困難であるため、尤度関数の下界を与え、emアルゴリズムを用いて近似的に下界の 最大化を行うことでパラメタ推定を行う。 Toy exampleに対する実験結果と、映画評データに対する適用結果を紹介する。 時間が許せば、個人の嗜好に基づくパラメタの推定と、協調フィルタリングへの 応用についても言及する。

On computing distances in the pants complex
[ Abstract ]
The pants complex is an accurate combinatorial
model for the Weil-Petersson metric (WP) on Teichmueller space
(Brock). One hopes that many of the geometric properties
of WP are accurately replicated in the pants complex, and
this is the source of many open questions. We compare these
in general, and then focus on the 5-holed sphere and the
2-holed torus, the first non-trivial surfaces. We arrive at
an algorithm for computing distances in the (1-skeleton of the)
pants complex of either surface.

IPMU, Mathematics, Physics, and me
[ Abstract ]
Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) was founded to promote synergy between mathematics and physics, and to address deep mysteries about the universe. In this colloquium, I will discuss the mysteries IPMU will address, and why the interaction between mathematicians and physicists are crucial for this purpose. I will also talk about my personal journey about mathematics and physics.

Allen-Cahn方程式における角錐型進行波の一意性と安定性
(The uniqueness and asymptotic stability of pyramidal traveling fronts in the Allen-Cahn equations)

[ Abstract ]
We study the uniqueness and the asymptotic stability of a pyramidal traveling front in the three-dimensional whole space. For a given admissible pyramid we prove that a pyramidal traveling front is uniquely determined and that it is asymptotically stable under the condition that given perturbations decay at infinity. For this purpose we characterize the pyramidal traveling front as a combination of planar fronts on the lateral surfaces. Moreover we characterize the pyramidal traveling front in another way, that is, we write it as a combination of two-dimensional V-form waves on the edges. This characterization also uniquely determines a pyramidal traveling front.

Multiplier ideal sheaves and Futaki invariant on toric Fano manifolds.
[ Abstract ]
I would like to discuss the subvarieties cut off by the multiplier
ideal sheaves (MIS) and Futaki invariant on toric Fano manifolds.
Futaki invariant is one of the necessary conditions for the existence
of Kahler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds,
on the other hand MIS is one of the sufficient conditions introduced by Nadel.
Especially I would like to focus on the MIS related to the Monge-Ampere equation
for Kahler-Einstein metrics on non-KE toric Fano manifolds.
The motivation of this work comes from the investigation of the
relationship with slope stability
of polarized manifolds introduced by Ross and Thomas.
This talk will be based on a part of the joint work with Akito Futaki
(arXiv:0711.0614).

Confluent KZ equations for $sl_2$ and quantization of monodromy preserving deformation
[ Abstract ]
We obtain a system of confluent Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations which generalizes that of KZ equations for $sl_2$,
and give integral solutions of the system. We also study the relation between the system and monodromy preserving deformation theory,
and recover quantizations of Painlev\\'e equations P_I-P_V with affine Weyl group symmetry which are introduced by H.Nagoya.

Exact Solution and Physical Combinatorics of Critical Dense
Polymers
[ Abstract ]
A Yang-Baxter integrable model of critical dense polymers on the
square lattice
is introduced corresponding to the first member ${\\cal LM}(1,2)$ of a
family of logarithmic
minimal models. The model has no local degrees of freedom, only non-
local degrees
of freedom in the form of extended polymers. The model is built
diagrammatically using the
planar Temperley-Lieb algebra and solved exactly on finite width
strips using transfer matrix
techniques. The bulk and boundary free energies and finite-size
corrections are
obtained from the Euler-Maclaurin formula. The spectra are classified
by selection rules and
the physical combinatorics of the eigenvalue patterns of zeros in the
complex
spectral-parameter plane. This yields explicit finitized conformal
characters.
In particular, in the scaling limit, we confirm the central charge
$c=-2$ and conformal weights
$\\Delta_{1,s}=\\frac{(2-s)^2-1}{8}$ for $s=1,2,3,\\ldots$ where $s-1$ is
the number
of defects.

Some Unsolved Inverse Spectral Problems
[ Abstract ]
Perhaps the first well-studied inverse problem
was the determination of the potential $q(x)$ in
$-u'' + q(x) u = \\lambda_n u$ given the eigenvalues
$\\{\\lambda_n\\}$. Despite its venerable age and
the fact that a considerable literature is still being published,
there are several major outstanding problems;
some are quite simple to state.
This seminar will outline some of these.
We will try to show why the problems are hard,
but leave it to the audience to attempt solutions.
