Vladimir Bogachev (Moscow)
The Malliavin calculus on configuration spaces and applications (ENGLISH)
Vladimir Bogachev (Moscow)
The Malliavin calculus on configuration spaces and applications (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
It is planned to discuss first a general scheme of the Malliavin
calculus on an abstract measurable
manifold with minimal assumptions about the manifold.
Then a practical realization of this scheme will be discussed in
several concrete examples with emphasis
on configuration spaces, i.e., spaces of locally finite configurations
in a given manifold (for example, just
a finite-dimensional Euclidean space), which can be alternatively
described as the spaces of integer-valued
discrete measures equipped with suitable differential structures.
No acquaintance with the Malliavin calculus and differential geometry
is assumed.

Daniel Ruberman (Brandeis University)
Periodic-end manifolds and SW theory (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We study an extension of Seiberg-Witten invariants to
4-manifolds with the homology of S^1 \\times S^3. This extension has
many potential applications in low-dimensional topology, including the
study of the homology cobordism group. Because b_2^+ =0, the usual
strategy for defining invariants does not work--one cannot disregard
reducible solutions. In fact, the count of solutions can jump in a
family of metrics or perturbations. To remedy this, we define an
index-theoretic counter-term that jumps by the same amount. The
counterterm is the index of the Dirac operator on a manifold with a
periodic end modeled at infinity by the infinite cyclic cover of the
manifold. This is joint work with Tomasz Mrowka and Nikolai Saveliev.

Michael Eastwood (University of Adelaide)
Twistor theory and the harmonic hull (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Harmonic functions are real-analytic and so automatically extend from being functions of real variables to being functions of complex variables. But how far do they extend? This question may be answered by twistor theory, the Penrose transform, and associated geometry. I shall base the constructions on a formula of Bateman from 1904. This is joint work with Feng Xu.

How to estimate Seshadri constants (JAPANESE)
Atsushi Ito (Univ. of Tokyo)
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.

Robin Graham (University of Washington)
Ambient metrics and exceptional holonomy (ENGLISH)
Robin Graham (University of Washington)
Ambient metrics and exceptional holonomy (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The holonomy of a pseudo-Riemannian metric is a subgroup of the orthogonal group which measures the structure preserved by parallel translation. Construction of pseudo-Riemannian metrics whose holonomy is an exceptional Lie group has been of great interest in recent years. This talk will outline a construction of metrics in dimension 7 whose holonomy is contained in the split real form of the exceptional group $G_2$. The datum for the construction is a generic real-analytic 2-plane field on a manifold of dimension 5; the metric in dimension 7 arises as the ambient metric of a conformal structure on the 5-manifold defined by Nurowski in terms of the 2-plane field.

Limits of Moishezon Manifolds under Holomorphic Deformations (ENGLISH)
Dan Popovici (Toulouse)
Limits of Moishezon Manifolds under Holomorphic Deformations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We prove that if all the fibres, except one, of a holomorphic family of compact complex manifolds are supposed to be Moishezon (i.e. bimeromorphic to projective manifolds), then the remaining (limit) fibre is again Moishezon. The two ingredients of the proof are the relative Barlet space of divisors contained in the fibres for which we show properness over the base of the family and the "strongly Gauduchon" (sG) metrics that we have introduced for the purpose of controlling volumes of cycles. These new metrics enjoy stability properties under both deformations and modifications and play a crucial role in obtaining a uniform control on volumes of relative divisors that prove the above-mentioned properness.

Quantum fundamental groups and quantum representation varieties for 3-manifolds (JAPANESE)
Kazuo Habiro (RIMS, Kyoto University)
Quantum fundamental groups and quantum representation varieties for 3-manifolds (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We define a refinement of the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds and
a generalization of representation variety of the fundamental group
of 3-manifolds. We consider the category $H$ whose morphisms are
nonnegative integers, where $n$ corresponds to a genus $n$ handlebody
equipped with an embedding of a disc into the boundary, and whose
morphisms are the isotopy classes of embeddings of handlebodies
compatible with the embeddings of the disc into the boundaries. For
each 3-manifold $M$ with an embedding of a disc into the boundary, we
can construct a contravariant functor from $H$ to the category of
sets, where the object $n$ of $H$ is mapped to the set of isotopy
classes of embedding of the genus $n$ handlebody into $M$, compatible
with the embeddings of the disc into the boundaries. This functor can
be regarded as a refinement of the fundamental group of $M$, and we
call it the quantum fundamental group of $M$. Using this invariant, we
can construct for each co-ribbon Hopf algebra $A$ an invariant of
3-manifolds which may be regarded as (the space of regular functions
on) the representation variety of $M$ with respect to $A$.

Daniel Sternheimer (Keio University and Institut de Mathematiques de Bourgogne)
Some instances of the reasonable effectiveness (and limitations) of symmetries and deformations in fundamental physics (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we survey some applications of group theory and deformation theory (including quantization) in mathematical physics. We start with sketching applications of rotation and discrete groups representations in molecular physics (``dynamical" symmetry breaking in crystals, Racah-Flato-Kibler; chains of groups and symmetry breaking). These methods led to the use of ``classification Lie groups" (``internal symmetries") in particle physics. Their relation with space-time symmetries will be discussed. Symmetries are naturally deformed, which eventually brought to Flato's deformation philosophy and the realization that quantization can be viewed as a deformation, including the many avatars of deformation quantization (such as quantum groups and quantized spaces). Nonlinear representations of Lie groups can be viewed as deformations (of their linear part), with applications to covariant nonlinear evolution equations. Combining all these suggests an Ansatz based on Anti de Sitter space-time and group, a deformation of the Poincare group of Minkowski space-time, which could eventually be quantized, with possible implications in particle physics and cosmology. Prospects for future developments between mathematics and physics will be indicated.

Curvature Dependent Diffusion Flow on Surface with Thickness (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Particle diffusion in a two dimensional curved surface with thickness
embedded in $R_3$ is considered.
In addition to the usual diffusion flow, we find a new flow with an explicit
curvature dependence in $\\epsilon$ (thickness of surface) expansion.
As an example, the surface of elliptic cylinder is considered, and curvature
dependent diffusion coefficient is calculated. In addition, we consider the
1 dimensional object in $R_3$ (Tube),
and check the physical meaning of curvature effect.

Jinseok Cho (Waseda University)
Optimistic limits of colored Jones invariants (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Yokota made a wonderful theory on the optimistic limit of Kashaev
invariant of a hyperbolic knot
that the limit determines the hyperbolic volume and the Chern-Simons
invariant of the knot.
Especially, his theory enables us to calculate the volume of a knot
combinatorially from its diagram for many cases.
We will briefly discuss Yokota theory, and then move to the optimistic
limit of colored Jones invariant.
We will explain a parallel version of Yokota theory based on the
optimistic limit of colored Jones invariant.
Especially, we will show the optimistic limit of colored Jones
invariant coincides with that of Kashaev invariant modulo 2\\pi^2.
This implies the optimistic limit of colored Jones invariant also
determines the volume and Chern-Simons invariant of the knot, and
probably more information.
This is a joint-work with Jun Murakami of Waseda University.

Limiting behavior of minimal trajectories of parabolic vector fields on the complex projective plane. (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The classical Poincare-Bendixson theory describes the way a trajectory of a vector field on the real plane behaves when accumulating to the singular locus of the vector field. We shall describe, in the first approximation, the way a minimal trajectory of a parabolic complex polynomial vector field (or, a holomorphic foliation) on the complex projective plane approaches the singular locus. In particular we shall prove that if a holomorphic foliation has an exceptional minimal set then its nef model is necessarily hyperbolic.

Todor Milanov (IPMU)
Quasi-modular forms and Gromov--Witten theory of elliptic orbifold $\\mathbb{P}^1$ (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk is based on my current work with Y. Ruan. Our project is part of the so called Landau--Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence. The latter is a conjecture, due to Ruan, that describes the relation between the $W$-spin invariants of a Landau-Ginzburg potential $W$ and the Gromov--Witten invariants of a certain Calabi--Yau orbifold. I am planning first to explain the higher-genus reconstruction formalism of Givental. This formalism together with the work of M. Krawitz and Y. Shen allows us to express the Gromov--Witten invariants of the orbifold $\\mathbb{P}^1$'s with weights $(3,3,3)$, $(2,4,4)$, and $(2,3,6)$ in terms of Saito's Frobenius structure associated with the simple elliptic singularities $P_8$, $X_9$, and $J_{10}$ respectively. After explaining Givental's formalism, my goal would be to discuss the Saito's flat structure, and to explain how its modular behavior fits in the Givental's formalism. This allows us to prove that the Gromov--Witten invariants are quasi-modular forms on an appropriate modular group.

Andrei Pajitnov (Univ. de Nantes, The University of Tokyo)
Asymptotics of Morse numbers of finite coverings of manifolds (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Let X be a closed manifold;
denote by m(X) the Morse number of X
(that is, the minimal number of critical
points of a Morse function on X).
Let Y be a finite covering of X of degree d.
In this survey talk we will address the following question
posed by M. Gromov: What are the asymptotic properties
of m(N) as d goes to infinity?
It turns out that for high-dimensional manifolds with
free abelian fundamental group the asymptotics of
the number m(N)/d is directly related to the Novikov homology
of N. We prove this theorem and discuss related results.

Exceptional Jacobi polynomials as solutions of a Schroedinger
(Sturm-Liouville) equation with $3 +¥ell$ ($¥ell=1,2,¥ldots) regular
singularities (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Global solutions of Fuchsian differential equations with more than 3 (hypergeometric) or four (Heun) regular singularities had been virtually unkown. Here I present a complete set of eigenfunctions of a Schroedinger (Sturm-Liouville) equation with $3 + ¥ell$ ($¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$) regular singularities. They are deformations of the Darboux-P¥" oschl-Teller potential with the Hamiltonian (Schroedinger operator) ¥[ ¥mathcal{H}=-¥frac{d^2}{dx^2}+¥frac{g(g-1)}{¥sin^2x}+¥frac{h(h-1)} {¥cos^2x}¥] The eigenfunctions consist of the {¥em exceptional Jacobi polynomials} $¥{P_{¥ell,n}(¥eta)¥}$, $n=0,1,2,¥ldots$, with deg($P_{¥ell,n}$)$=n+¥ell$. Thus the restriction due to Bochner's theorem does not apply. The confluent limit produces two sets of the exceptional Laguerre polynomials for $¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$. Similar deformation method provides the exceptional Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials for $¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$.

Thus the restriction due to Bochner's theorem does not apply. The confluent limit produces two sets of the exceptional Laguerre polynomials for $¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$. Similar deformation method provides the exceptional Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials for $¥ell=1,2,¥ldots$.

Handle attaching in wrapped Floer homology and brake orbits in classical Hamiltonian systems (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, the term "classical Hamiltonian systems" means special types of Hamiltonian systems, which describe solutions of classical equations of motion. The study of periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems is an interesting problem, and for classical Hamiltonian systems, the following result is known : for any compact and regular energy surface $S$, there exists a brake orbit (a particular type of periodic solutions) on $S$. This result is first proved by S.V.Bolotin in 1978, and it is a special case of the Arnold chord conjecture. In this talk, I will explain that calculations of wrapped Floer homology (which is a variant of Lagrangian Floer homology) give a new proof of the above result.

Mirror Symmetry for Weighted Homogeneous Polynomials (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
First we give an overview of the algebraic and the geometric aspects of the mirror symmetry conjecture for weighted homogeneous polynomials. Then we concentrate on polynomials in three variables, and show the existence of full (strongly) exceptional collection of categories of maximally graded matrix factorizations for invertible weighted homogeneous polynomials. We will also explain how the mirror symmetry naturally explains and generalizes the Arnold's strange duality between the 14 exceptional unimodal singularities.

Finite group actions on the affine space (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
If $G$ is a finite $\\ell$-group acting on an affine space $\\A^n$ over a
finite field $K$ of cardinality prime to $\\ell$, Serre shows that there
exists a rational fixed point. We generalize this to the case where $K$ is a
henselian discretely valued field of characteristic zero with algebraically
closed residue field and with residue characteristic different from $\\ell$.
We also treat the case where the residue field is finite of cardinality $q$
such that $\\ell$ divides $q-1$. To this aim, we study group actions on weak
N\\'eron models.
