Normal stable degenerations of Noether-Horikawa surfaces
[ Abstract ]
Noether-Horikawa surfaces are surfaces of general type satisfying the equation K2=2pg​−4, which represents the boundary of the Noether inequality K2≥2pg​−4 for surfaces of general type. In the 1970s, Horikawa conducted a detailed study of smooth Noether-Horikawa surfaces, providing a classification of these surfaces and describing their moduli spaces.
In this talk, I will present an explicit classification of normal stable degenerations of Noether-Horikawa surfaces. Specifically, I will discuss the following results:
(1) A preliminary classification of Noether-Horikawa surfaces with Q-Gorenstein smoothable log canonical singularities.
(2) Several criteria for determining the (global) Q-Gorenstein smoothability of the surfaces described in (1).
(3) Deformation results for Q-Gorenstein smoothable normal stable Noether-Horikawa surfaces, along with a description of the KSBA moduli spaces for these surfaces.
This is joint work with Hiroto Akaike, Masafumi Hattori and Yuki Koto.

Irreducible symplectic varieties with a large second Betti number
[ Abstract ]
(joint with Yuchen Liu, Zhiyu Liu) We show that the Lagrangian fibration constructed by Iiiev-Manivel using intermediate Jacobians of cubic fivefolds containing a fixed cubic fourfold, admits a compactification as a terminal Q-factorial irreducible symplectic varieties. As far as I know, besides OG10, this is the second family of irreducible symplectic varieties with the second Betti number at least 24.

Quantum cohomology of blowups
[ Abstract ]
I will discuss a decomposition theorem for the quantum cohomology of a smooth projective variety blown up along a smooth subvariety. I will start with a general relationship between decomposition of quantum cohomology and extremal contractions, and then specialize to the case of blowups. Applications to birational geometry of this result have been announced by Katzarkov, Kontsevich, Pantev and Yu.

The spaces of rational curves on del Pezzo surfaces via conic bundles
[ Abstract ]
There have been extensive activities on counting functions of rational points of bounded height on del Pezzo surfaces, and one of prominent approaches to this problem is by the usage of conic bundle structures on del Pezzo surfaces. This leads to upper and lower bounds of correct magnitude for quartic del Pezzo surfaces.
In this talk, I will explain how conic bundle structures on del Pezzo surfaces induce fibration structures on the spaces of rational curves on such surfaces. Then I will explain applications of this structure which include:
1. upper bounds of correct magnitude for the counting function of rational curves on quartic del Pezzo surfaces over finite fields.
2. rationality of the space of rational curves on a quartic del Pezzo surface.
Finally, I will explain our ongoing proof of homological stability for the spaces of rational curves on quartic del Pezzo surfaces. This is joint work in progress with Ronno Das, Brian Lehmann, and Philip Tosteson.

The cycle class of the supersingular locus (English)
[ Abstract ]
Deuring gave a now classical formula for the number of supersingular elliptic curves
in characteristic p. We generalize this to a formula for the cycle class of the
supersingular locus in the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties
of given dimension g in characteristic p. The formula determines the class up to
a multiple and shows that it lies in the tautological ring. We also give the multiple
for g up to 4. This is joint work with S. Harashita.

Rational surfaces with a non-arithmetic automorphism group (英語)
[ Abstract ]
In [Tot12], Totaro gave examples of a K3 surface such that its automorphism group is not commensurable with an arithmetic group, answering a question of Mazur. We give examples of rational surfaces with the same property. Our examples Y are log Calabi-Yau surfaces, i.e., there is a reduced normal crossing divisor D in Y such that KY+D=0. This is joint work with Sebastián Torres.

Arithmetic finiteness of Mukai varieties of genus 7 (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
Fano threefolds over C with Picard number and index equal to 1 are known to be classified by their genus g (where 2≤g≤12 and g≠11). In particular, Mukai has shown that those with genus 7 can be described as hyperplane sections of a connected component of the 10-dimensional orthogonal Grassmannian.
In this talk, we discuss the arithmetic properties of these genus 7 threefolds and their higher-dimensional generalizations (called Mukai varieties of genus 7). More precisely, we consider the finiteness problem of varieties over a ring of S-integers (so called the Shafarevich conjecture), and the existence problem of varieties over the rational integer ring Z.
This talk is based on a joint work with Tetsushi Ito, Akihiro Kanemitsu, and Yuuji Tanaka.

On a principle of Ogus: the Hasse invariant's order of vanishing and "Frobenius and the Hodge filtration'' (English)
[ Abstract ]
In joint work with W. Goldring we generalize a result of Ogus that, under certain technical conditions, the vanishing order of the Hasse invariant of a family $Y/X$ of $n$-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties in characteristic $p$ at a point $x$ of $X$ equals the "conjugate line position" of $H^n_{\dR}(Y/X)$ at $x$, i.e. the largest $i$ such that the line of the conjugate filtration is contained in $\text{Fil}^i$ of the Hodge filtration. For every triple $(G,\mu,r)$ consisting of a connected, reductive $\mathbb{F}_p$-group $G$, a cocharacter $\mu \in X_*(G)$ and an $\mathbb{F}_p$-representation $r$ of $G$, we state a generalized Ogus Principle. If $\zeta:X \to \GZip^{\mu}$ is a smooth morphism, then the group theoretic Ogus Principle implies an Ogus Principle on $X$. We deduce an Ogus Principle for several Hodge and abelian-type Shimura varieties and the moduli space of K3 surfaces. In the talk I will present this work.

Stable rationality of hypersurfaces in mock toric varieties (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In recent years, there has been a development in approaching rationality problems through motivic methods. This approach requires the explicit construction of degeneration families over curves with favorable properties. However, the specific construction is generally difficult. Nicaise and Ottem combined combinatorial methods to construct degeneration families of hypersurfaces in toric varieties and mentioned the stable rationality of a very general hypersurface in projective spaces. In this talk, we mention the following two points: First, I introduce the notion of mock toric varieties, which are generalizations of toric varieties. Second, I combinatorially construct degeneration families of hypersurfaces in mock toric varieties, and I mention the irrationality of a very general hypersurface in the complex Grassmannian variety Gr(2, n).

ON THE POWER SERIES OF DENEF AND LOESER'S MOTIVIC VANISHING CYCLES OF JET POLYNOMIALS (English)
[ Abstract ]
Let f be a non-constant polynomial in n variables over a field k of characteristic
0. Denef and Loeser introduced the notion of motivic vanishing cycles of f as an element in
the localization Mμˆ of the Grothendieck ring Kμˆ(Var ) of k-varieties with a good action of k0k
μˆ := lim μm by inverting the affne line equipped with the trivial action of μˆ, where μm
is the group scheme over k of mth roots of unity. In particular, if k is the field of complex
numbers then Denef and Loeser showed that their motivic vanishing cycles and the complex
φf [n − 1] has the same Hodge characteristic, where φf is the complex of vanishing cycles
in the usual sense. Motivated by the Igusa conjecture for exponential sums and the strong
monodromy conjecture, we introduce the notion of Poincaré series of Denef-Loeser's van-
ishing cycles of jet polynomials of f, where jet polynomials of f are polynomials appearing
naturally when we compute the jet schemes of f. By using Davison-Meinhardt's conjecture
which was proved by Nicaise and Payne in 2019, we can show that our Poincaré series is a
rational function over a quotient ring of Mμˆ by very natural relations. In particular, we can k
recovery Denef and Loeser's motivic vanishing cycles from our Poincaré series. Moreover, we can show that our Poincaré series owns a universal property in the sense that if k is a number field then the Igusa local zeta functions, the motivic Igusa zeta functions, the Poincaré series of exponential sums modulo pm of f can be obtained from our Poincaré se- ries by suitable specialization maps preserving the rationality. If time permits, I will present some initial consequences that have arisen during the study of our Poincaré series.

Boundedness of weak Fano threefolds with fixed Gorenstein index in positive characteristic
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we give a partial affirmative answer to the BAB conjecture for 3-folds in characteristic p>5. Specifically, we prove that a set of weak Fano 3-folds over an uncountable algebraically closed field is bounded, if each element X satisfies certain conditions regarding the Gorenstein index, a complement and Kodaira type vanishing. In the course of the proof, we also study a uniform lower bound for Seshadri constants of nef and big invertible sheaves on projective 3-folds.

非分離Kummer曲面 (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
Kummer曲面Km(A)とは,+-1倍写像によるアーベル曲面Aの商の最小特異点解消として得られる曲面である.Aが標数≠2の場合(resp. 標数2で,超特異ではない場合)は,Km(A)はK3曲面であり,例外曲線は互いに交わらない(resp. 所定の交わり方をする)16本の有理曲線である.Aが標数2で超特異の場合はKm(A)はK3曲面にならない.また,Km(A)が標数2の超特異K3曲面になることはない.

本講演では,標数2の超特異K3曲面とその上の16本の有理曲線で所定の交わり方をするものに対し,非分離2重被覆Aを構成することができること,Aは非特異部分に群構造が入り「アーベル曲面もどき」になることを示す.Aの分類のために,RDP K3曲面のRDPの補集合から最小特異点解消への B_n \Omega^1(Cartier作用素を何回か適用すると消える1次微分形式の層)の延長に関する結果を用いるので,これにも言及したい.

Frobenius stable Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing fails (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
We show that the Frobenius stable version of Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing fails for a terminal 3-fold in characteristic 2. To prove this, we introduce the notion of $F_p$-rationality for singularities in positive characteristic, and prove that 3-dimensional klt singularities are $F_p$-rational. I will also talk about the vanishing of $F_p$-cohomologies of log Fano threefolds. This is joint work with Jefferson Baudin and Fabio Bernasconi.

On a pair of a smooth variety and a multi-ideal with a real exponent in positive characteristic (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In birational geometry, the behaviors of the invariants, mld (minimal log discrepancy) and lct (log canonical threshold), play important roles. These invariants are studied well in case the base field is characteristic zero, but not so in positive characteristic case. In this talk, I work on a pair consisting of smooth variety and a multi-ideal with a real exponent over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We reduce some behaviors of the invariants for such pairs in positive characteristic case into characteristic zero.

On Kawamata-Miyaoka type inequality

For klt projective varieties with nef and big canonical divisors, there exists a Miyaoka-Yau type inequality concerning the first and the second Chern classes. In this talk, I will present a Kawamata-Miyaoka type inequality for terminal Q-Fano varieties, which is a mirror version of the Miyaoka-Yau type inequality. This is a joint work with Jie Liu.

Symmetries of Fano varieties
[ Abstract ]
Prokhorov and Shramov proved that the BAB conjecture (which Birkar later proved) implies the uniform Jordan property for automorphism groups of complex Fano varieties of fixed dimension. This property in particular gives an upper bound on the size of semi-simple groups (meaning those with no non-trivial normal abelian subgroups) acting faithfully on n-dimensional complex Fano varieties, and this bound only depends on n. In this talk, we investigate the consequences of a large action by a particular semi-simple group: the symmetric group. This work is joint with Louis Esser and Joaquín Moraga.

The Demailly--Peternell--Schneider conjecture is true in positive characteristic
[ Abstract ]
In 1993, Demailly, Peternell and Schneider conjectured that the Albanese morphism of a compact K\"{a}hler manifold with nef anti-canonical divisor is surjective. For smooth projective varieties of characteristic zero, the conjecture was verified by Zhang in 1996. In positive characteristic, the conjecture was solved under the assumption that the geometric generic fiber F of the Albanese morphism has only mild singularities. However, F may have bad singularities even if we restrict ourselves to the case when the anti-canonical divisor is nef. In this talk, we prove the conjecture in positive characteristic without any extra assumption. We also discuss properties of the Albanese morphism, such as flatness or local isotriviality. This talk is based on joint work with Zsolt Patakfalvi.

Preimages question and dynamical cancellation
[ Abstract ]
Pulling back an invariant subvariety by a self-morphism on projective variety, you will get a tower of increasing closed subsets. Working over a number field, we expect that the set of rational points contained in this increasing subsets eventually stabilizes. I am planning to discuss several results on this problem, such as the case of etale morphisms, morphisms on the product of two P^1. I will also present some counter examples that occur when we drop some of the assumptions. This work is based on a joint work with Matt Satriano and Jason Bell, and recent work in progress with Kaoru Sano.

Minimal log discrepnacies for quotient singularities
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will discuss recent joint work with Yusuke Nakamura on minimal log discrepancies for quotient singularities. The minimal log discrepancy is an important invariant of singularities in birational geometry. The denominator of the minimal log discrepancy of a variety depends on the Gorenstein index. On the other hand, Shokurov conjectured that the Gorenstein index of a Q-Gorenstein germ can be bounded in terms of its dimension and minimal log discrepancy. In this talk, I will explain basic properties for quotient singularities and show Shokurov's index conjecture for quotient singularities.

Quasi-F-splitting and Hodge-Witt
[ Abstract ]
Quasi-F-splitting is an extension of F-splitting, which is defined for schemes in positive characteristic. On the other hand, Hodge-Wittness is defined for smooth proper schemes over a perfect field using the de Rham-Witt complex and ordinarity implies Hodge-Wittness. In this talk, I will explain (unexpected) relations between F-split/quasi-F-split and ordinary/Hodge-Witt via examples and properties.

Varieties in positive characteristic with numerically flat tangent bundle
[ Abstract ]
The positivity condition imposed on the tangent bundle of a smooth projective variety is known to restrict the geometric structure of the variety. Demailly, Peternell and Schneider established a decomposition theorem for a smooth projective complex variety with nef tangent bundle. The theorem states that, up to an etale cover, such a variety has a smooth fibration admitting a smooth algebraic fiber space over an abelian variety whose fibers are Fano varieties, so one can say that such a variety decomposes into the "positive” part and the "flat” part. A positive characteristic analog of the above decomposition theorem was proved by Kanemitsu and Watanabe. The "flat” part of their theorem is a smooth projective variety with numerically flat tangent bundle. In this talk, I will introduce the result that every ordinary variety with numerically flat tangent bundle is an etale quotient of an ordinary Abelian variety. In particular, we obtain the decomposition theorem for Frobenius splitting varieties with nef tangent bundle. This talk is based on joint work with Sho Ejiri.
