Quasi-modular forms and Gromov--Witten theory of elliptic orbifold $\\mathbb{P}^1$ (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk is based on my current work with Y. Ruan. Our project is part of the so called Landau--Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence. The latter is a conjecture, due to Ruan, that describes the relation between the $W$-spin invariants of a Landau-Ginzburg potential $W$ and the Gromov--Witten invariants of a certain Calabi--Yau orbifold. I am planning first to explain the higher-genus reconstruction formalism of Givental. This formalism together with the work of M. Krawitz and Y. Shen allows us to express the Gromov--Witten invariants of the orbifold $\\mathbb{P}^1$'s with weights $(3,3,3)$, $(2,4,4)$, and $(2,3,6)$ in terms of Saito's Frobenius structure associated with the simple elliptic singularities $P_8$, $X_9$, and $J_{10}$ respectively. After explaining Givental's formalism, my goal would be to discuss the Saito's flat structure, and to explain how its modular behavior fits in the Givental's formalism. This allows us to prove that the Gromov--Witten invariants are quasi-modular forms on an appropriate modular group.

Asymptotics of Morse numbers of finite coverings of manifolds (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Let X be a closed manifold;
denote by m(X) the Morse number of X
(that is, the minimal number of critical
points of a Morse function on X).
Let Y be a finite covering of X of degree d.

In this survey talk we will address the following question
posed by M. Gromov: What are the asymptotic properties
of m(N) as d goes to infinity?

It turns out that for high-dimensional manifolds with
free abelian fundamental group the asymptotics of
the number m(N)/d is directly related to the Novikov homology
of N. We prove this theorem and discuss related results.

Exceptional Jacobi polynomials as solutions of a Schroedinger
(Sturm-Liouville) equation with $3 +¥ell$ ($¥ell=1,2,¥ldots) regular singularities (JAPANESE) [ Abstract ] Global solutions of Fuchsian differential equations with more than 3 (hypergeometric) or four (Heun) regular singularities had been virtually unkown. Here I present a complete set of eigenfunctions of a Schroedinger (Sturm-Liouville) equation with$3 + ¥ell$($¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$) regular singularities. They are deformations of the Darboux-P¥" oschl-Teller potential with the Hamiltonian (Schroedinger operator) ¥[ ¥mathcal{H}=-¥frac{d^2}{dx^2}+¥frac{g(g-1)}{¥sin^2x}+¥frac{h(h-1)} {¥cos^2x}¥] The eigenfunctions consist of the {¥em exceptional Jacobi polynomials}$¥{P_{¥ell,n}(¥eta)¥}$,$n=0,1,2,¥ldots$, with deg($P_{¥ell,n}$)$=n+¥ell$. Thus the restriction due to Bochner's theorem does not apply. The confluent limit produces two sets of the exceptional Laguerre polynomials for$¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$. Similar deformation method provides the exceptional Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials for$¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$. ### 2010/10/06 #### Geometry Seminar 14:45-18:00 Room #056 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.) Kei Irie (Kyoto Univ.) 14:45-16:15 Handle attaching in wrapped Floer homology and brake orbits in classical Hamiltonian systems (JAPANESE) [ Abstract ] In this talk, the term "classical Hamiltonian systems" means special types of Hamiltonian systems, which describe solutions of classical equations of motion. The study of periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems is an interesting problem, and for classical Hamiltonian systems, the following result is known : for any compact and regular energy surface$S$, there exists a brake orbit (a particular type of periodic solutions) on$S$. This result is first proved by S.V.Bolotin in 1978, and it is a special case of the Arnold chord conjecture. In this talk, I will explain that calculations of wrapped Floer homology (which is a variant of Lagrangian Floer homology) give a new proof of the above result. Atsushi Takahashi (Osaka Univ.) 16:30-18:00 Mirror Symmetry for Weighted Homogeneous Polynomials (JAPANESE) [ Abstract ] First we give an overview of the algebraic and the geometric aspects of the mirror symmetry conjecture for weighted homogeneous polynomials. Then we concentrate on polynomials in three variables, and show the existence of full (strongly) exceptional collection of categories of maximally graded matrix factorizations for invertible weighted homogeneous polynomials. We will also explain how the mirror symmetry naturally explains and generalizes the Arnold's strange duality between the 14 exceptional unimodal singularities. #### Number Theory Seminar 16:30-17:30 Room #117 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.) Hélène Esnault (Universität Duisburg-Essen) Finite group actions on the affine space (ENGLISH) [ Abstract ] If$G$is a finite$\\ell$-group acting on an affine space$\\A^n$over a finite field$K$of cardinality prime to$\\ell$, Serre shows that there exists a rational fixed point. We generalize this to the case where$K$is a henselian discretely valued field of characteristic zero with algebraically closed residue field and with residue characteristic different from$\\ell$. We also treat the case where the residue field is finite of cardinality$q$such that$\\ell$divides$q-1$. To this aim, we study group actions on weak N\\'eron models.

Sci. Bldg.) Hideyuki ISHI (Nagoya Univ) The canonical coordinates associated to homogeneous Kaehler metrics on a homogeneous bounded domain (JAPANESE) [ Abstract ] For a real analytic Kaehler manifold, one can define a canonical coordinate, called the Bochner coordinate, around each point. In this talk, we show that the canonical cooredinate is globally defined for a bounded homogeneous domain with a homogeneous Kaehler manifold, which is not necessarily the Bergman metric. Then we obtain a standard realization of the homogeneous domain associated to the homogeneous metric. ### 2010/09/28 #### Tuesday Seminar of Analysis 16:30-18:00 Room #128 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.) Pavel Exner (Czech Academy of Sciences) Some spectral and resonance properties of quantum graphs (ENGLISH) [ Abstract ] In this talk I will discuss three new results about Schr¨odinger operators on metric graphs obtained in collaboration with Jiri Lipovskyand Brian Davies. The first one is related to invalidity of the uniform continuation principle for such operators. One manifestation of this fact are embedded eigenvalues due to rational relations of graph edge lengths. This effect is non-generic and we show how geometric perturbations turn these embedded eigenvalues into resonances. Then second problem is related to high-energy behavior of resonances: we extend a recent result of Davies and Pushnitski to graphs with general vertex couplings and find conditions under which the asymptotics does not have Weyl character. Finally, the last question addressed here concerns the absolutely continuous spectrum of radial-tree graphs. In a similar vein, we generalize a recent result by Breuer and Frank that in case of the free (or Kirhhoff) coupling the ac spectrum is absent provided the edge length are increasing without a bound along the tree. We show that the result remains valid for a large class of vertex couplings, but on the other hand, there are nontrivial couplings leading to an ac spectrum. ### 2010/09/14 #### Infinite Analysis Seminar Tokyo 10:30-14:00 Room #117 (Graduate School of Math.

Sci. Bldg.) Hideaki Morita (Muroran Institute of Technology) 10:30-11:30 A factorization formula for Macdonald polynomials at roots of unity (JAPANESE) [ Abstract ] We consider a combinatorial property of Macdonald polynomials at roots of unity. If we made some plethystic substitution to the variables, Macdonald polynomials are subjected to a certain decomposition rule when a parameter is specialized at roots of unity. We review the result and give an outline of the proof. This talk is based on a joint work with F. Descouens. Junichi Shiraishi (Tokyo Univ.) 13:00-14:00 W algebras and symmetric polynomials (JAPANESE) [ Abstract ] It is well known that we have the factorization property of the Macdonald polynomials under the principal specialization$x=(1,t,t^2,t^3,¥cdots)$. We try to better understand this situation in terms of the Ding-Iohara algebra or the deformend$W$-algebra. Some conjectures are presented in the case of$N$-fold tensor representation of the Fock modules.

We give a combinatorial proof of the formula, via a result by Haglund--Haiman--Leohr, for some special classes of partitions, including two column partitions. (This talk is based on a joint work with F. Descouens and H. Morita.) ### 2010/09/11 #### Infinite Analysis Seminar Tokyo 13:00-17:00 Room #117 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.) Masahiko Ito (School of Science and Technology for Future Life, Tokyo Denki University) 13:00-14:00 Three-term recurrence relations for a$BC_n$-type basic hypergeometric function and their application (JAPANESE) [ Abstract ]$BC_n$-type basic hypergeometric series are a certain$q$-analogue of an integral representation for the Gauss hypergeometric function. They are defined as multiple$q$-series satisfying Weyl group symmetry of type$C_n$, and they are a multi-sum generalization of the basic hypergeometric series in a class of what is called (very-)well-poised. In my talk I will explain an explicit expression for the$q$-difference system of rank$n+1$satisfied by a$BC_n$-type basic hypergeometric series with 6+1 parameters as first order simultaneous$q$-difference equations with a concrete basis. For this purpose I introduce two types of symmetric Laurent polynomials which I call the$BC$-type interpolation polynomials. The polynomials satisfy three-term relations like a contiguous relation for the Gauss hypergeometric function. As an application, I will show another proof for the product formula of the$q$-integral introduced by Gustafson.

Mini-course on Buildings (1/3) (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The goal of this course is to provide an overview on the theory of buildings which was developed by Jacques Tits.

In my first lecture I will begin by introducing generalized polygons, namely rank two spherical buildings, and discussing several aspects of them which will be generalized later, and then move on to defining Coxeter complexes and giving the classical definition of buildings as simplicial complexes. I will try to include as many examples as possible.

This is Part 1 of a 3-part lecture. The second lecture will follow after a ten-minute break.

Mini-course on Buildings (2/3) (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The goal of this course is to provide an overview on the theory of buildings which was developed by Jacques Tits.

In my second lecture I will start with chamber systems and coset
geometries, introducing some special properties of chamber systems in order to give another definition of a building. This definition is less standard but it will give some results on presentations of groups acting on buildings for free. In particular it will enable me to present a sketch of a proof of the Curtis-Tits theorem for Chevalley groups and to formulate Tits' extension theorem.

This is Part 2 of a 3-part lecture. Part 1 takes place ealier on the same day. Part 3 will take place on Thursday, September 9.

Carleman estimates and boundary problems. (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this presentation, based on joint works with Jerome LeRousseau and Matthieu Leautaud, we consider boundary problems for elliptic/parabolic operators. We prove Carleman estimates in such cases. One of the interest for such an estimate is the implied controllability of (semi-linear) heat equations.

One of the main aspects of the proof is a microlocal decomposition separating high and low tangential frequencies.

If time permits, we will present how such an approach can be used to prove Carleman estimates in the case of non smooth coefficients at an interface, possibly with an additional diffusion process along the interface.

Groups of Kac-Moody type (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Groups of Kac-Moody type are natural generalizations of Kac-Moody groups over fields in the sense that they have an RGD-system. This is a system of subgroups indexed by the roots of a root system and satisfying certain commutation relations.
Roughly speaking, there is a one-to-one correspondence between groups of Kac-Moody type and Moufang twin buildings. This correspondence was used in the last decade to prove several group theoretic results on RGD-systems and in particular on Kac-
Moody groups over fields.

In my talk I will explain RGD-systems and how they provide twin
buildings in a natural way. I will then present some of the group theoretic applications mentioned above and describe how twin buildings are used as a main tool in their proof.
