The modularity of elliptic curves over some number fields (English)
[ Abstract ]
As a non-trivial case of the Langlands reciprocity conjecture, the modularity of elliptic curves always intrigues number theorists, and a famous result was proved for semistable elliptic curves over \mathbb{Q} by Andrew Wiles, implying Fermat's Last Theorem. In recent years, many new results have been proved using sufficiently powerful modularity lifting theorems. For instance, Thorne proved that elliptic curves over the cyclotomic \mathbb{Z}_p-extension of \mathbb{Q} are modular. In this talk, I will sketch some of these results and try to give a new one that elliptic curves over the cyclotomic \mathbb{Z}_p-extension of a real quadratic field are modular under some technical assumptions.

Mikhail Bershtein (Skoltech・HSE / IPMU)
Folding transformations for q-Painleve equations (English)
[ Abstract ]
Folding transformation of the Painleve equations is an algebraic (of degree greater than 1) transformation between solutions of different equations. In 2005 Tsuda, Okamoto and Sakai classified folding transformations of differential Painleve equations. These transformations are in correspondence with automorphisms of affine Dynkin diagrams. We give a complete classification of folding transformations of the q-difference Painleve equations, these transformations are in correspondence with certain subdiagrams of the affine Dynkin diagrams (possibly with automorphism). The method is based on Sakai's approach to Painleve equations through rational surfaces.

Bernstein type theorem for the parabolic 2-Hessian equation under weaker assumptions (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In the early twentieth century, Bernstein proved that a minimal surface which can be expressed as the graph of a function defined in $\mathbb{R}^2$ must be a plane. For Monge-Ampère equation, it is known that a convex solution to $\det D^2 u=1$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ must be a quadratic polynomial. Such kind of theorems, which we call Bernstein type theorems in this talk, have been extensively studied for various PDEs. For the parabolic $k$-Hessian equation, Bernstein type theorem has been proved by Nakamori and Takimoto (2015, 2016) under the convexity and some growth assumptions on the solution. In this talk, we shall obtain Bernstein type theorem for the parabolic 2-Hessian equation under weaker assumptions.

Shintaro Kuroki (Okayama University of Science)
GKM graph with legs and graph equivariant cohomology (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
A GKM (Goresky-Kottiwicz-MacPherson) graph is a regular graph labeled on edges with some conditions. This notion has been introduced by Guillemin-Zara in 2001 to study the geometry of a nice class of manifolds with torus actions, called a GKM manifold, by a combinatorial way. In particular, we can define a ring on a GKM graph called a graph equivariant cohomology, and it is often isomorphic to the equivariant cohomology of a GKM manifold. In this talk, we introduce the GKM graph with legs (i.e., non-compact edges) related to non-compact manifolds with torus actions that may not satisfy the usual GKM conditions, and study the graph equivariant cohomology which is related to the GKM graph with legs. The talk is mainly based on the joint work with Grigory Solomadin (arXiv:2207.11380) and partially on the joint work with Vikraman Uma (arXiv:2106.11598).

The behaviour of Kahler-Einstein polygons under combinatorial mutation
(English)
[ Abstract ]
Combinatorial mutations play an important role in the mirror symmetry approach to the classification of Fano varieties. Another important notion for Fano varieties is that of K-polystability, which turns out to have a nice combinatorial characterisation in the toric case. In this talk, I will give an overview of how mutations work and sketch the key ideas used to explore its interaction with Kahler-Einstein polygons (i.e. the Fano polygons whose associated toric variety is K-polystable).

Shane Kelly (Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo)
Motivic cohomology: theory and applications
(ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The motive of a smooth projective algebraic variety was originally envisaged by Grothendieck in the 60's as a generalisation of the Jacobian of a curve, and formed part of a strategy to prove the Weil conjectures. In the 90s, following conjectures of Beilinson on special values of L-functions, Voevodsky, together with Friedlander, Morel, Suslin, and others, generalised this to the A^1-homotopy type of a general algebraic variety. This A^1-homotopy theory lead to a proof of the Block-Kato conjecture (and a Fields Medal for Voevodsky).
One consequence of making things A^1-invariant is that unipotent groups (as well as wild ramification, irregular singularities, nilpotents including higher nilpotents in the sense of derived algebraic geometry, certain parts of K-theory, etc) become invisible and the last decade has seen a number of candidates for a non-A^1-invariant theory.
In this talk I will give an introduction to the classical theory and discuss some current and future research directions.

Attacks for lattice problems assuring the security of lattice-based cryptography (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Lattice-based cryptography is one of post-quantum cryptography, and it is useful for construction of high-functional encryption such as fully homomorphic encryption. In this talk, I introduce methods to attack lattice problems assuring the security of lattice based cryptography. Specifically, I present algorithms of lattice basis reduction such as LLL and BKZ that are required for solving lattice problems. I also describe how to apply reduction algorithms to attacking LWE and NTRU problems.

Non-free sections of Fano fibrations (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
Manin’s Conjecture predicts the asymptotic formula for the counting function of rational points over number fields or global function fields. In the late 80’s, Batyrev developed a heuristic argument for Manin’s Conjecture over global function fields, and the assumptions underlying Batyrev’s heuristics are refined and formulated as Geometric Manin’s Conjecture. Geometric Manin’s Conjecture is a set of conjectures regarding properties of the space of sections of Fano fibrations, and it consists of three conjectures: (i) Pathological components are controlled by Fujita invariants; (ii) For each nef algebraic class, a non-pathological component which should be counted in Manin’s Conjecture is unique (This component is called as Manin components); (iii) Manin components exhibit homological or motivic stability. In this talk we discuss our proofs of GMC (i) over complex numbers using theory of foliations and the minimal model program. Using this result, we prove that these pathological components are coming from a bounded family of accumulating maps. This is joint work in progress with Brian Lehmann and Eric Riedl.

Teruaki Kitano (Soka University)
Epimorphism between knot groups and isomorphisms on character varieties (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
A partial order on the set of prime knots is given by the existence of an epimorphism between the fundamental groups of the knot complements. In this talk we will survey some basic properties of this order, and discuss some results and questions in connection with the SL(2,C)-character variety. In particular we study to what extend the SL(2,C)-character variety to determine the knot. This talk will be based on joint works with Michel Boileau(Univ. Aix-Marseille), Steven Sivek(Imperial College London), and Raphael Zentner(Univ. Regensburg).

Resolution of singularities for $C^{\infty}$ functions and meromorphy of local zeta functions (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we attempt to resolve the singularities of the zero variety of a $C^{\infty}$ function of two variables as much as possible by using ordinary blowings up. As a result, we formulate an algorithm to locally express the zero variety in the “almost” normal crossings form, which is close to the normal crossings form but may include flat functions. As an application, we investigate analytic continuation of local zeta functions associated with  $C^{\infty}$ functions of two variables.

The eigencurve over the boundary of the weight space (English)
[ Abstract ]
The eigencurve is a geometric object that p-adically interpolates eigenforms of finite slope. The global geometry of the eigencurve is somewhat mysterious, except that over the boundary, it is predicted to behave rather nicely (by the so-called Halo conjecture). This conjecture has been studied by Liu--Wan--Xiao for definite quaternion algebras. In this talk, we will report on some work in progress on this conjecture in the case of GL2. If time permits, we will discuss some generalizations towards groups beyond GL2. This is partially joint with H. Diao.

Arthur Soulié (IBS Center for Geometry and Physics, POSTECH)
Stable cohomology of mapping class groups with some particular twisted contravariant coefficients (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The twisted cohomology of mapping class groups of compact orientable surfaces (with one boundary) is very difficult to compute generally speaking. In this talk, I will describe the computation of the stable cohomology algebra of these mapping class groups with twisted coefficients given by the first homology of the unit tangent bundle of the surface. This type of computation is out of the scope of the traditional framework for homological stability. Indeed, these twisted coefficients define a contravariant functor over the classical category associated to mapping class groups to study homological stability, rather than a covariant one. I will also present the computation of the stable cohomology algebras with with twisted coefficients given by the exterior powers and tensor powers of the first homology of the unit tangent bundle of the surface. All this represents a joint work with Nariya Kawazumi.

Positivity of anticanonical divisors in algebraic fibre spaces (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
It is known that the positivity of the anti-canonical divisor is an important property that is closely related to the geometric structure of a variety. Given an algebraic fibre space f : X → Y between normal projective varieties with mild singularities, and let F be a general fibre of f. In this talk, we will introduce results relating the positivity of −KX and −KY under some conditions on the asymptotic base loci of −KX. In particular, we will obtain an inequality between the anti-canonical Iitaka dimensions κ(X, −KX) ≤ κ(F, −KF ) + κ(Y, −KY ) under the assumption that the stable base locus B(−KX) does not dominant over Y .

Masahiko Yoshinaga (Osaka University)
Milnor fibers of hyperplane arrangements (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
A (central) hyperplane arrangement is a union of finitely many hyperplanes in a linear space. There are many relationships between the intersection lattice of the arrangement and geometry of related spaces. In this talk, we focus on the Milnor fiber of a hyperplane arrangement. The first Betti number of the Milnor fiber is expected to be determined by the combinatorial structure of the intersection lattice, however, it is still open. We discuss two results on the problem. The first (discouraging) one is concerning the dimension of (-1)-eigenspace of the monodromy action on the first cohomology group. We show that it is related to 2-torsions in the first homology of double covering of the (projectivized) complement (j.w. Ishibashi and Sugawara). The second (encouraging) one is related to the Aomoto complex, which is defined in purely combinatorial way. We show that a q-analogue of Aomoto complex determines all nontrivial monodromy eigenspaces of the Milnor fiber.
