Automorphism groups of K3 surfaces
[ Abstract ]
I will present recent progress in the study of prime order automorphisms of K3 surfaces.
An automorphism is called (non-) symplectic if the induced
operation on the global nowhere vanishing holomorphic two form
is (non-) trivial. After a short survey on the topic, I will
describe the topological structure of the fixed locus, the
geometry of these K3 surfaces and their moduli spaces.

The cohomological crepant resolution conjecture


[ Abstract ]
The cohomological crepant resolution conjecture is one
form of Ruan's conjecture concerning the relation between the
geometry of a quotient singularity X/G - where X is a smooth
complex variety and G a finite group of automorphisms - and the
geometry of a crepant resolution of singularities of X/G ; it
generalizes the classical McKay correspondence. Following the
examples of the Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces and the
weighted projective spaces, I will present some of the recents
developments of the subject.

Cotangent maps of surfaces of general type
[ Abstract ]
Surfaces are usualy studied and classified via the properties of the pluricanonical maps. For surfaces of general type whose cotangent sheaf is generated by global sections, we propose to study an other map, called the cotangent map, in order to obtain geometric informations on the surface. In this way, we obtain informations on the ampleness of the cotangent sheaf of such a surface. We will illustate this talk with the example of the Fano surface of lines of cubic threefolds.

Hyperkaehler SYZ conjecture and stability
[ Abstract ]
Let L be a nef bundle on a hyperkaehler manifold. A Hyperkaehler SYZ conjecture postulates that L is semi-ample. As shown by Matsushita, this implies existence of holomorphic Lagrangian fibrations on hyperkaehler manifolds. It was conjectured by many
people, most recently by Tschinkel, Hassett, Huybrechts and Sawon. We prove that a sufficiently big power of L is effective, assuming that L admits a semi-positive metric. A multiplier ideal version of this argument would give effectivity of L^N for any nef L. The proof uses stability and Boucksom's divisorial
Zariski decomposition.

Scorza quartics of trigonal spin curves and their varieties of power sums
[ Abstract ]
Our fundamental result is the construction of new subvarieties in the varieties of power sums for the Scorza quartic of any general pairs of trigonal curves and non-effective theta characteristics. This is a generalization of Mukai's description of smooth prime Fano threefolds of genus twelve as the varieties of power sums for plane quartics. Among other applications, we give an affirmative answer to the conjecture of Dolgachev and Kanev on the existence of the Scorza quartic for any general pairs of curves and non-effective theta characteristics.

Understanding singular algebraic varieties via string theory
[ Abstract ]
String theory has helped to formulate two major new insights in the study of singular algebraic varieties. The first -- which also arose from symplectic geometry -- is that families of Kaehler metrics are an important tool in uncovering the structure of singular algebraic varieties. The second, more recent insight -- related to independent work in the representation theory of associative algebras -- is that one's understanding of a singular (affine) algebraic variety is enhanced if one can find a non-commutative ring whose center is the coordinate ring of the variety. We will describe both of these insights, and explain how they are related to string theory.

New restrictions on the fundamental groups of complex algebraic varieties
[ Abstract ]
My talk will be based on joint work with S. Papadima (Bucarest, Romania) and A. Suciu (Boston, USA). First I will recall the basic facts on characteristic varieties $V_k(M)$ associated to rank one local systems on a complex algebraic variety $M$ which are due to Beauville, Simpson and Arapura. Then I will introduce the resonance varities $R_k(M)$, which may be related to the Isotropic Subspace Theorems by Catanese and Bauer. One of the main new results is that for a class of algebraic varieties (the 1-formal ones), the two types of varieties $V_k(M)$ and $R_k(M)$ are strongly related. Applications to right angle Artin groups, Bestvina-Brady groups and to a conjecture by Kollar will be discussed in the end.

Homogical methods in Non-commutative Geometry
[ Abstract ]
Of all the approaches to non-commutative geometry, probably the most promising is the homological one, developed by Keller, Kontsevich, Toen and others, where non-commutative eometry is understood as "geometry of triangulated categories". Examples of "geometric" triangulated categories come from representation theory, symplectic geometry (Fukaya category) and algebraic geometry (the derived category of coherent sheaves on an algebraic variety and
various generalizations). Non-commutative point of view is expected to be helpful even in traditional questions of algebraic geometry such as the termination of flips.

We plan to give an introduction to the subject, with emphasis on homological methods (such as e.g. Hodge theory which, as it turns out, can be mostly formulated in the non-commutative setting).

No knowledge of non-commutative geometry whatsoever is assumed. However, familiarity with basic homological algebra and algebraic geometry will be helpful.

p-adic Hodge theory in the non-commutative setting
[ Abstract ]
We will explain what is the natural replacement of the notion of Hodge structure in the p-adic setting, and how to construct such a structure for non-commutative manifolds (something which at present cannot be done for the usual Hodge structures, but works perfectly well for the p-adic analog).

Floor diagrams and enumeration of tropical curves
[ Abstract ]
The enumerative problems considered in this talk are finding the number of curves in projective spaces (over complex, real and tropical numbers) of given genus and degree constrained by certain incidence conditions (e.g. passing via points or lines). Floor diagrams are a combinatorial tool that reduces an enumerative problem in dimension n to the corresponding problem n dimension n-1. Floor diagrams give a constructive (and rather efficient) way to find all tropical curves for a given enumerative problem. And once we have a tropical solution of the problem we can use it to solve the corresponding problems over the complex and real numbers.

Presentation of mapping class groups from algebraic geometry
[ Abstract ]
A presentation of the mapping class group of a genus g surface with one hole is due to Wajnryb with later improvements due to M. Matsumoto. The generators are Dehn twists defined by 2g+1 closed curves on the surface. The relations involving only two Dehn twists are the familiar Artin relations, we show that those involving more than two can be derived from algebro-geometry considerations.
