Self-corresponences of K3 surfaces via moduli of sheaves (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In series of our papers with Carlo Madonna (2002--2008) we described self-correspondences via moduli of sheaves with primitive isotropic Mukai vectors for K3 surfaces with Picard number one or two. Here, we give a natural and functorial answer to the same problem for arbitrary Picard number of K3 surfaces. As an application, we characterize in terms of self-correspondences via moduli of sheaves K3 surfaces with reflective Picard lattices, that is when the automorphism group of the lattice is generated by reflections up to finite index. See some details in arXiv:0810.2945.

How to estimate Seshadri constants (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Seshadri constant is an invariant which measures the positivities of ample line bundles. This relates with adjoint bundles, Nagata conjecture, slope stabilities, Gromov width (an invariant of symplectic manifolds) and so on. But it is very diffiult to compute or estimate Seshadri constants in general, especially in higher dimension.
In this talk, we first study Seshadri constants of toric varieties, and next consider about non-toric cases using toric degenerations. For example, good estimations are obtained for complete intersections in projective spaces.

Non-reduced components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Let $M_d$ be the moduli space of complex smooth degree $d$ surfaces in $\\mathbb{P}3$. Let $NL_d \\subset M_d$ be the subset corresponding to surfaces with Picard number at least 2. It is known that $NL_r$ is Zariski-constructable, and each irreducible component of $NL_r$ has a natural scheme structure. In this talk we describe the largest non-reduced components of $NL_r$. This extends work of Maclean and Otwinowska.
This is joint work with my PhD student Ananyo Dan.

Homological Mirror Symmetry for 2-dimensional toric Fano stacks (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Homological Mirror Symmetry (HMS for short) is a conjectural
duality between complex and symplectic geometry, originally proposed
for mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds and later extended to
Fano/Landau-Ginzburg mirrors (both due to Kontsevich, 1994 and 1998).

We explain how HMS is established in the case of 2-dimensional smooth
toric Fano stack X as an equivalence between the derived category of X
and the derived directed Fukaya category of its mirror Lefschetz
fibration W. This is related to Kontsevich-Soibelman's construction of
3d CY category from the quiver with potential.

We also obtain a local mirror extension following Seidel's suspension
theorem, that is, the local HMS for the canonical bundle K_X and the
double suspension W+uv. This talk is joint with Kazushi Ueda (Osaka
U.).

Flips of moduli of stable torsion free sheaves with $c_1=1$ on
$\\mathbb{P}^2$ (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We study flips of moduli schemes of stable torsion free sheaves
on the projective plane via wall-crossing phenomena of Bridgeland stability.
They are described as stratified Grassmann bundles by variation of
stability of modules over certain finite dimensional algebra.

Rational curves on hypersurfaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Our purpose is to study the family of smooth rational curves of degree $e$ lying on a hypersurface of degree $d$ in $\\mathbb{P}^n$, and to investigate properties of this family (e.g., dimension, smoothness, connectedness).
Our starting point is the research about the family of lines (i.e., $e = 1$), which was studied by W. Barth and A. Van de Ven over $\\mathbb{C}$, and by J. Koll\\'{a}r over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic.
For the degree $e > 1$, the family of rational curves was studied by J. Harris, M. Roth, and J. Starr over $\\mathbb{C}$ in the case of $d < (n+1)/2$.
In this talk, we study the family of rational curves in arbitrary characteristic under the assumption $e = 2,3$ and $d > 1$, or $e > 3$ and $d > 2e-4$.

Pseudo-index and minimal length of extremal rays for Fano manifolds (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The minimum of intersection numbers of the anticanonical
divisor with rational curves on a Fano manifold is called pseudo-index.
In view of the fact that the geometry of Fano manifolds is governed by
its extremal rays, it is important to consider the extremal rational
curves. In this talk, we show that for Fano 4-folds having birational
contractions, the minimal length of extremal rays coincides with the
pseudo-index.

Slope of smooth rational curves in an anticanonically polarized Fano manifold (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Ross and Thomas introduce the concept of slope stability to study K-stability, which has conjectural relation with the existence of constant scalar curvature metric. Since K-stability implies slope stability, slope stability gives an algebraic obstruction to theexistence of constant scalar curvature. This talk presents a systematic study of slope stability of anticanonically polarized Fano manifolds with respect to smooth rational curves. Especially, we prove that an anticanonically polarized Fano maniold is slope semistable with respect to any free smooth rational curves, and that an anticanonically polarized Fano threefold X with Picard number 1 is slope stable with respect to any smooth rational curves unless X is the project space. It is a joint work with Jun-Muk Hwang and Hosung Kim.

On Pfaffian Calabi-Yau Varieties and Mirror Symmetry (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We construct new smooth CY 3-folds with 1-dimensional Kaehler moduli and
determine their fundamental topological invariants. The existence of CY
3-folds with the computed invariants was previously conjectured. We then
report mirror symmetry for these non-complete intersection CY 3-folds.
We explicitly build their mirror partners, some of which have 2 LCSLs,
and carry out instanton computations for g=0,1.

A counterexample of the birational Torelli problem via Fourier--Mukai transforms (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We study the Fourier--Mukai numbers of rational elliptic surfaces. As
its application, we give an example of a pair of minimal 3-folds $X$
with Kodaira dimensions 1, $h^1(O_X)=h^2(O_X)=0$ such that they are
mutually derived equivalent, deformation equivalent, but not
birationally equivalent. It also supplies a counterexample of the
birational Torelli problem.

On the GIT stability of Polarized Varieties (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Background:
Original GIT-stability notion for polarized variety is
"asymptotic stability", studied by Mumford, Gieseker etc around 1970s.
Recently a version appeared, so-called "K-stability", introduced by
Tian(1997) and reformulated by Donaldson(2002), by the way of seeking
the analogue of Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence, which gives
"differential geometric" interpretation of "stability". These two have
subtle but interesting differences in dimension higher than 1.

Contents:
(1*) Any semistable (in any sense) polarized variety should have only
"semi-log-canonical" singularities. (Partly observed around 1970s)
(2) On the other hand, we proved some stabilities, which corresponds to
"Calabi conjecture", also with admitting mild singularities.

As applications these yield
(3*) Compact moduli spaces with GIT interpretations.
(4) Many counterexamples (as orbifolds) to folklore conjecture:
"K-stability implies asymptotic stability".

(*: Some technical points are yet to be settled.
Some parts for (1)(2) are available on arXiv:0910.1794.)

Toric degenerations of Grassmannians and mirror symmetry (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
I will talk about toric degenerarions of Grassmannians and
an application to the mirror constructions for complete intersection
Calabi-Yau manifolds in Grassmannians.
In particular, if we focus on toric degenerations by term orderings on
polynomial rings,
we have to choose a term ordering for which the coordinate ring has an
uniformly homogeneous sagbi basis.
We discuss this condition for some examples of ordinary Grassmannians
and a spinor variety.

We prove the unirationality of the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces

configuration spaces of 5, 6, 7, 8 points in the projective plane as
arithmetic quotients of type IV.

From Lang's Conjecture to finiteness properties of Torelli groups
[ Abstract ]
First we recall one of Lang's conjectures in diophantine geometry
on the interplay between subvarieties and translated subgroups in a
commutative algebraic group
(proved by M. Laurent in the case of affine tori in 1984).

Then we present the technique of resonance and characteristic varieties,
a powerful tool in the study of fundamental groups of algebraic varieties.

Finally, using the two ingredients above, we show that the Torelli
groups $T_g$
have some surprising finiteness properties for $g>3$.
In particular, we show that for any subgroup $N$ in $T_g$ containing
the Johnson kernel $K_g$, the complex vector space $N_{ab} \\otimes C$
is finite dimensional.

All the details are available in our joint preprint with S. Papadima
arXiv:1002.0673.

Extensions of two Chow stability criteria to positive characteristics
[ Abstract ]
I will talk about two results on Chow (semi-)stability of cycles in positive characteristics, which were originally known in characteristic 0. One is on the stability of non-singular projective hypersurfaces of degree greater than 2, and the other is the criterion by Y. Lee in terms of the log canonical threshold of Chow divisor. A couple of examples will be discussed in detail.

On weak Fano varieties with log canonical singularities
[ Abstract ]
We prove that the anti-canonical divisors of weak Fano
3-folds with log canonical singularities are semiample. Moreover, we consider
semiampleness of the anti-log canonical divisor of any weak log Fano pair
with log canonical singularities. We show semiampleness dose not hold in
general by constructing several examples. Based on those examples, we propose
sufficient conditions which seem to be the best possible and we prove
semiampleness under such conditions. In particular we derive semiampleness of the
anti-canonical divisors of log canonical weak Fano 4-folds whose lc centers
are at most 1-dimensional. We also investigate the Kleiman-Mori cones of
weak log Fano pairs with log canonical singularities.

The divisor class group of terminal Gorenstein Fano 3-folds and rationality questions
[ Abstract ]
Let Y be a quartic hypersurface in CP^4 with mild singularities, e.g. no worse than ordinary double points.
If Y contains a surface that is not a hyperplane section, Y is not Q-factorial and the divisor class group of Y, Cl Y, contains divisors that are not Cartier. However, the rank of Cl Y is bounded.

In this talk, I will show that in most cases, it is possible to describe explicitly the divisor class group Cl Y by running a Minimal Model Program (MMP) on X, a small Q-factorialisation of Y. In this case, the generators of Cl Y/ Pic Y are topological traces " of K-negative extremal contractions on X.
This has surprising consequences: it is possible to conclude that a number of families of non-factorial quartic 3-folds are rational.
In particular, I give some examples of rational quartic hypersurfaces Y_4\\subset CP^4 with rk Cl Y=2 and show that when the divisor class group of Y has sufficiently high rank, Y is always rational.

Ampleness of two-sided tilting complexes
[ Abstract ]
From the view point of noncommutative algebraic geometry (NCAG),
a two-sided tilting complex is an analog of a line bundle.
In this talk we introduce the notion of ampleness for two-sided
tilting complexes over finite dimensional algebras.
From the view point of NCAG, the Serre functors are considered to be
shifted canonical bundles. We show by examples that the property
of shifted canonical bundle captures some representation theoretic
property of algebras.

Rationality of the Brauer-Severi Varieties of Skylanin algebras
[ Abstract ]
Iskovskih's conjecture states that a conic bundle over
a surface is rational if and only if the surface has a pencil of
rational curves which meet the discriminant in 3 or fewer points,
(with one exceptional case). We generalize Iskovskih's proof that
such conic bundles are rational, to the case of projective space
bundles of higher dimension. The proof involves maximal orders
and toric geometry. As a corollary we show that the Brauer-Severi
variety of a Sklyanin algebra is rational.

Cohomology of moduli spaces of curves and modular forms
[ Abstract ]
The Eichler-Shimura theorem expresses cohomology of local systems
on the moduli of elliptic curves in terms of modular forms. The
cohomology of local systems can be succesfully explored by counting
points over finite fields. We show how this can be applied to
obtain a lot of information about the cohomology of other moduli spaces
of low genera and also about Siegel modular forms of genus 2 and 3.
This is joint work with Jonas Bergstroem and Carel Faber.
