Cyclic K-theory (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Cyclic K-theory is a variant of algebraic K-theory introduced by Goodwillie 25 years ago and more-or-less forgotten by now. I will try to convince the audience that cyclic K-theory is actually quite useful -- in particular, it can be effectively computed for varieties over a finite field.

HIROSE, Yuichi (Victoria University of Wellington)
Information criteria for parametric and semi-parametric models (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Since Akaike proposed an Information Criteria, this approach to
model selection has been important part of Statistical data analysis.
Since then many Information Criteria have been proposed and it is still
an active field of research. Despite there are many contributors in this
topic, we have not have proper Information Criteria for semiparametric
models. In this talk, we give ideas to develop an Information Criteria
for semiparametric models.

Comparison with Gieseker stability and slope stability via Bridgeland's stability (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we compare two classical notions of stability (Gieseker stability and slope stability) for sheaves on K3 surfaces by using stability conditions which was introduced by Bridgeland. As a consequence of this work, we give a classification of 2 dimensional moduli spaces of sheaves on K3 surface depending on the rank of the sheaves.

Shin-ichi Matsumura (University of Tokyo)
An ampleness criterion with the extendability of singular positive metrics (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Coman, Guedj and Zeriahi proved that, for an ample line bundle $L$ on a projective manifold $X$, any singular positive metric on the line bundle $L|_{V}$ along a subvariety $V \subset X$ can be extended to a global singular positive metric of $L$. In this talk, we prove that the extendability of singular positive metrics on a line bundle along a subvariety implies the ampleness of the line bundle.

[ Abstract ]
The first lecture will be an introduction to quantum mechanics and a proof of Lieb-Robinson bounds for constant range interaction Hamiltonians. The second lecture will build on the first to prove a powerful lemma on the transformation of the interactions of generic gapped Hamiltonians to a new set of rapidly-decaying interactions that commute with the groundstate subspace. I call this "The Energy Filtering Lemma". Then, the third lecture will be on the construction of the Spectral Flow unitary (Quasi-adiabatic evolution) and its properties; in particular, the perfect simulation of the evolution of the groundstate subspace within a gapped path. I will end with a presentation of the recent result on the stability of the spectral gap for frustration-free Hamiltonians, highlighting how the previous three lectures fit into the proof.

Toshitake Kohno (The University of Tokyo)
Quantum and homological representations of braid groups (JAPANESE)
Toshitake Kohno (The University of Tokyo)
Quantum and homological representations of braid groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Homological representations of braid groups are defined as
the action of homeomorphisms of a punctured disk on
the homology of an abelian covering of its configuration space.
These representations were extensively studied by Lawrence,
Krammer and Bigelow. In this talk we show that specializations
of the homological representations of braid groups
are equivalent to the monodromy of the KZ equation with
values in the space of null vectors in the tensor product
of Verma modules when the parameters are generic.
To prove this we use representations of the solutions of the
KZ equation by hypergeometric integrals due to Schechtman,
Varchenko and others.
In the case of special parameters these representations
are extended to quantum representations of mapping
class groups. We describe the images of such representations
and show that the images of any Johnson subgroups
contain non-abelian free groups if the genus and the
level are sufficiently large. The last part is a joint
work with Louis Funar.

Smallest complex nilpotent orbit with real points (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Let $\\mathfrak{g}$ be a non-compact simple Lie algebra with no complex
structures.
In this talk, we show that there exists a complex nilpotent orbit
$\\mathcal{O}^{G_\\mathbb{C}}_{\\text{min},\\mathfrak{g}}$ in
$\\mathfrak{g}_\\mathbb{C}$ ($:=\\mathfrak{g} \\otimes \\mathbb{C}$)
containing all of real nilpotent orbits in $\\mathfrak{g}$ of minimal
positive dimension.
For many $\\mathfrak{g}$, the orbit
$\\mathcal{O}^{G_\\mathbb{C}}_{\\text{min},\\mathfrak{g}}$ is just the
complex minimal nilpotent orbit in $\\mathfrak{g}_\\mathbb{C}$.
However, for the cases where $\\mathfrak{g}$ is isomorphic to
$\\mathfrak{su}^*(2k)$, $\\mathfrak{so}(n-1,1)$, $\\mathfrak{sp}(p,q)$,
$\\mathfrak{e}_{6(-26)}$ or $\\mathfrak{f}_{4(-20)}$,
the orbit $\\mathcal{O}^{G_\\mathbb{C}}_{\\text{min},\\mathfrak{g}}$ is not
the complex minimal nilpotent orbit in $\\mathfrak{g}_\\mathbb{C}$.
We also determine $\\mathcal{O}^{G_\\mathbb{C}}_{\\text{min},\\mathfrak{g}}$
by describing the weighted Dynkin diagrams of these for such cases.

Ernie Esser (University of California, Irvine)
A convex model for non-negative matrix factorization and dimensionality reduction on physical space (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A collaborative convex framework for factoring a data matrix X into a non-negative product AS, with a sparse coefficient matrix S, is proposed. We restrict the columns of the dictionary matrix A to coincide with certain columns of the data matrix X, thereby guaranteeing a physically meaningful dictionary and dimensionality reduction. We focus on applications of the proposed framework to hyperspectral endmember and abundances identification and also show an application to blind source separation of NMR data.
This talk is based on joint work with Michael Moeller, Stanley Osher, Guillermo Sapiro and Jack Xin.

Enuemerative meaning of mirror maps for toric Calabi-Yau manifolds (ENGLISH)
Siu-Cheong Lau (IPMU)
Enuemerative meaning of mirror maps for toric Calabi-Yau manifolds (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
For a mirror pair of smooth manifolds X and Y, mirror symmetry associates a complex structure on Y to each Kaehler structure on X, and this association is called the mirror map. Traditionally mirror maps are defined by solving Picard-Fuchs equations and its geometric meaning was unclear. In this talk I explain a recent joint work with K.W. Chan, N.C. Leung and H.H. Tseng which proves that mirror maps can be obtained by taking torus duality (the SYZ approach) and disk-counting for a class of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds in any dimensions. As a consequence we can compute disk-counting invariants by solving Picard-Fuchs equations.

Inverse problems for heat equations with discontinuous conductivities
(JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In a bounded domain $\\Omega \\subset {\\bf R}^n$, consider the heat
equation $\\partial_tu = \\nabla(\\gamma(t,x)\\nabla u)$. The heat
conductivity is assumed to be piecewise constant : $\\gamma = k^2$ on
$\\Omaga_1(t) \\subset\\subset \\Omega$, $\\gamma(t,x) = 1$ on
$\\Omega\\setminus\\Omega_1(t)$. In this talk, we present recent results
for the inverse problems of reconstructing $\\gamma(t,x)$ from the
Dirichlet-to-Neumann map :
$u(t)|_{\\partial\\Omega} \\to $\\partial_{\\nu}u|_{\\partial\\Omega}$ for a time
interval $(0,T)$. These are the joint works with P.Gaitan, O.Poisson,
S.Siltanen, J.Tamminen.

Disc functionals and Siciak-Zaharyuta extremal functions on singular varieties (ENGLISH)
Franc Forstneric (University of Ljubljana)
Disc functionals and Siciak-Zaharyuta extremal functions on singular varieties (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A disc functional on a complex space, $X$, is a function P that assign a real number $P(f)$ (possibly minus infinity) to every analytic disc $f$ in $X$. An examples is the Poisson functional $P_u$ of an upper semicontinuous function $u$ on $X$: in that case $P_u(f)$ is the average of u over the boundary curve of the disc $f$. Other natural examples include the Lelong and the Riesz functionals. The envelope of a disc functional $P$ is a function on $X$ associating to every point $x$ of $X$ the infimum of the values $P(f)$ over all analytic discs $f$ in $X$ satisfying $f(0)=x$. The main point of interest is that the envelopes of many natural disc functionals are plurisubharmonic functions solving certain extremal problems. In the classical case when $X=\mathbf{C}^n$ this was first discovered by E. Poletsky in the early 1990's. In this talk I will discuss recent results on plurisubharmonicity of envelopes of all the classical disc functional mentioned above on locally irreducible complex spaces. In the second part of the talk I will give formulas expressing the classical Siciak-Zaharyuta maximal function of an open set in an affine algebraic variety as the envelope of certain disc functionals. We establish plurisubharmonicity of envelopes of certain classical disc functionals on locally irreducible complex spaces, thereby generalizing the corresponding results for complex manifolds. We also find new formulae expressing the Siciak-Zaharyuta extremal function of an open set in a locally irreducible affine algebraic variety as the envelope of certain disc functionals, similarly to what has been done for open sets in $\mathbf{C}^n$ by Lempert and by Larusson and Sigurdsson.

(ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The allowed singularities are those of functions.
According to A. Haefliger (1958),
such structures on manifolds, called $\\Gamma_1$-structures,
are objects of a cohomological
theory with a classifying space $B\\Gamma_1$.
The problem of cancelling the singularities
(or regularization problem)
arise naturally.
For a closed manifold, it was solved by W.Thurston in a famous paper
(1976), with a proof relying on Mather's isomorphism (1971):
Diff$^\\infty(\\mathbb R)$ as a discrete group has the same homology
as the based loop space
$\\Omega B\\Gamma_1^+$.
For further extension to contact geometry, it is necessary
to solve the regularization problem
without using Mather's isomorphism.
That is what we have done in dimension 3. Our result is the following.
{\\it Every $\\Gamma_1$-structure $\\xi$ on a 3-manifold $M$ whose
normal bundle
embeds into the tangent bundle to $M$ is $\\Gamma_1$-homotopic
to a regular foliation
carried by a (possibily twisted) open book.}
The proof is elementary and relies on the dynamics of a (twisted)
pseudo-gradient of $\\xi$.
All the objects will be defined in the talk, in particular the notion
of twisted open book which is a central object in the reported paper.

Categorification of cluster algebras arising from unipotent subgroups of non-simply laced Lie groups (ENGLISH)
Laurant Demonet (Nagoya University)
Categorification of cluster algebras arising from unipotent subgroups of non-simply laced Lie groups (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We introduce an abstract framework to categorify some antisymetrizable cluster algebras by using actions of finite groups on stably 2-Calabi-Yau exact categories. We introduce the notion of the equivariant category and, with similar technics as in [K], [CK], [GLS1], [GLS2], [DK], [FK], [P], we construct some examples of such categorifications. For example, if we let Z/2Z act on the category of representations of the preprojective algebra of type A2n-1 via the only non trivial action on the diagram, we obtain the cluster structure on the coordinate ring of the maximal unipotent subgroup of the semi-simple Lie group of type Bn [D]. Hence, we can get relations between the cluster algebras categorified by some exact subcategories of these two categories. We also prove by the same methods as in [FK] a conjecture of Fomin and Zelevinsky stating that the cluster monomials are linearly independent.

We introduce an abstract framework to categorify some antisymetrizable cluster algebras by using actions of finite groups on stably 2-Calabi-Yau exact categories. We introduce the notion of the equivariant category and, with similar technics as in [K], [CK], [GLS1], [GLS2], [DK], [FK], [P], we construct some examples of such categorifications. For example, if we let Z/2Z act on the category of representations of the preprojective algebra of type A2n-1 via the only non trivial action on the diagram, we obtain the cluster structure on the coordinate ring of the maximal unipotent subgroup of the semi-simple Lie group of type Bn [D]. Hence, we can get relations between the cluster algebras categorified by some exact subcategories of these two categories. We also prove by the same methods as in [FK] a conjecture of Fomin and Zelevinsky stating that the cluster monomials are linearly independent.
