Global geometry on locally symmetric spaces — beyond the Riemannian case
[ Abstract ]
The local to global study of geometries was a major trend of 20th century geometry, with remarkable developments achieved particularly in Riemannian geometry.
In contrast, in areas such as Lorentz geometry, familiar to us as the space-time of relativity theory, and more generally in pseudo-Riemannian geometry, as well as in various other kinds of geometry (symplectic, complex geometry, ...), surprising little is known about global properties of the geometry even if we impose a locally homogeneous structure.

In this talk, I plan to give an exposition on the recent developments on the question about the global natures of locally non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces, with emphasis on the existence problem of compact forms, rigidity and deformation.

Classification of Fuchsian systems and their connection problem
[ Abstract ]
We explain a classification of Fuchsian systems on the Riemann sphere together with Katz's middle convolution, Yokoyama's extension and their relation to a Kac-Moody root system discovered by Crawley-Boevey.
Then we present a beautifully unified connection formula for the solution of the Fuchsian ordinary differential equation without moduli and apply the formula to the harmonic analysis on a symmetric space.
