Shuhei Maruyama (Chuo University)
A crossed homomorphism on a big mapping class group (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Big mapping class groups are mapping class groups of surfaces of infinite type. Calegari and Chen determined the second (co)homology group of the mapping class group of the sphere minus a Cantor set. They also raised related questions: one of the questions asks an explicit form of certain crossed homomorphisms on the big mapping class group. In this talk, we provide a construction of crossed homomorphisms via group actions on the circle, which answers the question of Calegari and Chen.

On the stable cohomology of the (IA-)automorphism groups of free groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
By combining Borel's stability and vanishing theorem for the stable cohomology of GL(n,Z) with coefficients in algebraic GL(n,Z)-representations and the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence, we compute the twisted first cohomology of the automorphism group Aut(F_n) of the free group F_n of rank n. This method is used also in the study of the stable rational cohomology of the IA-automorphism group IA_n of F_n. We propose a conjectural algebraic structure of the stable rational cohomology of IA_n, and consider some relations to known results and conjectures. We also consider a conjectural structure of the stable rational cohomology of the Torelli groups of surfaces. This is a joint work with Mai Katada.

Blowup solutions to the Keller-Segel system (English)
[ Abstract ]
I will present constructive examples of finite-time blowup solutions to the Keller-Segel system in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For $d = 2$ ($L^1$-critical), there are finite time blowup solutions that are of Type II with finite mass. Blowup rates are completely quantized according to a discrete spectrum of a linearized operator around the rescaled stationary solution in the self-similar setting. There is a stable blowup mechanism which is expected to be generic among others. For $d \geq 3$ ($L^1$-supercritical), we construct finite time blowup solutions that are completely unrelated to the self-similar scale, in particular, they are of Type II with finite mass. Interestingly, the radial blowup profile is linked to the traveling-wave of the 1D viscous Burgers equation. Our constructed solution actually has the form of collapsing-ring which consists of an imploding, smoothed-out shock wave moving towards the origin to form a Dirac mass at the singularity. I will also discuss other blowup patterns that possibly occur in the cases $d = 2,3,4$.

On the canonical bundle formula in positive characteristic (English)
[ Abstract ]
In a previous work in collaboration with F. Ambro, V. Shokurov and C. Spicer, we show that algebraically integrable foliations can be used to study the canonical bundle formula for fibrations which are not necessarily lc trivial.
I will discuss a work in progress by M. Benozzo on a generalisation of these results in positive characteristic.

Parameter reconstruction for degenerate parabolic equations (English)
[ Abstract ]
First, we study degenerate parabolic equations arising in climate dynamics, providing uniqueness and stability estimates for the determination of the insolation function. Then, we address several aspects of the reconstruction of the degenerate diffusion coefficient. Finally, we discuss systems of two equations including a vertical component into the model.

From higher dimensional class field theory to a new theory of motives (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
My first research was on Higher Dimensional Class Theory done in collaboration with Kazuya Kato. That was 40 years ago. The classical class field theory is a theory that controls the Galois group of the maximal abelian extension of a number field (a finite extension of the field of rational numbers) using only information intrinsic to the field (e.g., its ideal class group). Higher dimensional class field theory is an extension of this theory to the case of finitely generated fields over the field of rational numbers or a finite field. It is formulated as an arithmetic algebro-geometric problem using scheme theory.

In this talk, I will start with a review of the classical class field theory that can be understood by undergraduates and explain how higher dimensional class field theory is formulated in a way that is easy to understand even for non-specialists. I will also briefly explain an improvement of Kato-Saito's higher-dimensional class field theory that I made with Moritz Kerz in 2016, and how it triggered a recent new development of theory of motive. In particular, I will discuss the relationship between the new theory and ramification theory (of which Takeshi Saito is a world leader), which until now has had no interaction with theory of motives.

Non-ergodic statistics for hamonizable stable processes (English)
[ Abstract ]
We consider stationary real harmonizable symmetric α-stable processes X={X(t):t∈ℝ} with a finite control measure. Assuming the control measure is symmetric and absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the real line, we refer to its density function as the spectral density of X. Standard methods for statistical inference on stable processes cannot be applied as harmonizable stable processes are non-ergodic.
A stationary real harmonizable symmetric α-stable process X admits a LePage series representation and is conditionally Gaussian which allows us to derive the non-ergodic limit of sample functions on X. In particular, we give an explicit expression for the non-ergodic limits of the empirical characteristic function of X and the lag process {X(t+h)−X(t):t∈ℝ} with h>0, respectively.
The process admits an equivalent representation as a series of sinusoidal waves with random frequencies whose probability density function is in fact the (normalized) spectral density of X. Using the strongly consistent frequency estimation via periodograms we present a strongly consistent estimator of the spectral density which is based only on one sampled path of X. The periodogram computation is fast and efficient, and our method is not affected by the non-ergodicity of X. Most notably no prior knowledge on parameters of the process such as its index of stability α is needed.

Long time decay of Fokker-Planck equations with confining drift (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The convergence to equilibrium of Fokker-Planck equations with confining drift is a classical issue, starting with the basic model of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. I will discuss a new approach to obtain estimates on the time decay rate, which applies to both local and nonlocal diffusions. This is based on duality arguments and oscillation estimates for transport-diffusion equations, which are reminiscent of coupling methods used in probabilistic approaches.

K-stability of Fano varieties. (English)
[ Abstract ]
The notion of K-stability of Fano varieties was first introduced to characterize the existence of Kahler-Einstein metric. Recently, a purely algebro-geometric theory has been developed and it has yielded many striking results, such as the solution of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson Conjecture for all Fano varieties, as well as the construction of a projective moduli scheme, called K-moduli, parametrizing K-polystable Fano varieties.

In this lecture series, I will survey the recent progress. The first two lectures will be devoted to explain the evolution of algebraic geometer’s understanding of various aspects of the notion of K-stability. The Lecture 3 and 4 will be devoted to discuss the construction of the K-moduli space.

On a presentation to introduce function theory of several variables (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
微積分は,主に1変数の理論を講義するが,後半で多変数の内容を入れる.同じ様に,複素解析(函数論)でも,一変数の後につなぎよく,多変数の講義を段差なく行えるようにしたい.
モデルケースとして'リーマンの写像定理'がある.現在多くの教科書に書かれているモンテルの定理による初等的な証明(1922, Fejér--Riesz)まで,もとのリーマンの学位論文(1851)から約70年の歳月がかかている.
岡理論・多変数関数論基礎についてみると,Oka IX (1953)より本年でやはり70年たつが,あまり'初等化'の方面へは進展していないように思う.こここでは,学部の複素解析のコースで'リーマンの写像定理'の後に,段差無く完全証明付きで岡理論・多変数関数論基礎を講義する展開を考える.
初等化には,岡のオリジナル法(1943未発表, IX 1953)を第1連接定理に基づき展開するのが適当であることを紹介したい.学部講義の数学内容に日本人による成果が入ることで,学生のモチベーションに好効果を与えるであろうことも期待したい.
時間が許せば,擬凸問題解決の岡のオリジナル法と別証明とされるGrauertの証明との間のFredholm定理をめぐる類似性についても述べたい.

Diffusive behavior in completely integrable infinite dynamics (English)
[ Abstract ]
We investigate the macroscopic behaviour of the density fluctuations of a one dimensional dynamics of hard rods with random length. After recentering on the effective velocity the density fluctuations of particles of a given velocity v will evolve on the diffusive scaling driven by a brownian motion with a diffusivity depending on v. This rigid evolution of fluctuations is expected in other completely integrable systems (Box-Ball, Toda Lattice,..), in contrast with the behavior in chaotic dynamics.

Fast diffusion equation: uniqueness of solutions with a moving singularity (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk focuses on open questions in the area of the uniqueness of distributional solutions of the fast diffusion equation with a given source term. The existence of different sets of such solutions is known from previous research, and the natural next issue is to examine their uniqueness. Assuming that the source term is a measure, the existence of different classes of solutions is known, however, their uniqueness is an open problem. The existence of a class of asymptotically radially symmetric solutions with a singularity that moves along a prescribed curve was proved by M. Fila, J. Takahashi, and E. Yanagida. More recently, it has been established by M. Fila, P. M., J. Takahashi, and E. Yanagida that these solutions solve the corresponding problem with a moving Dirac source term. In this talk, we discuss the uniqueness of these solutions. This is a joint work with M. Fila.

Some properties of splinters via ultrapower (English)
[ Abstract ]
A Noetherian (reduced) ring is called a splinter if it is a direct summand of every finite ring extension of it. This notion is related to various interesting notions of singularities, but far less properties are known about splinters.
In this talk, we will discuss the question of "regular ascent"; in the simplest (but already essential) form, we ask, for a Noetherian splinter R, is the polynomial ring R[X] always a splinter. We will see how ultrapower, a construction mainly belonging to model theory, is involved.
