Resurgent analysis of the Witten Laplacian in one dimension
[ Abstract ]
I will recall Witten's approach to the Morse theory through properties of a certain differential operator. Then I will introduce resurgent analysis -- an asymptotic method used, in particular, for studying quantum-mechanical tunneling. In conclusion I will discuss how the methods of resurgent analysis can help us "see" pseudoholomorphic discs in the eigenfunctions of the Witten Laplacian.

Differential Graded Categories and heterotic string theory
[ Abstract ]
The saying "category theory is an abstract nonsense" is even physically not true.
The schematic language of triangulated category presents a new stage of string theory.

To illuminate this idea, I will draw your attention to the blow-up minimal model
of complex algebraic surfaces. This is done under the hypothetical assumptions
of "generalized complex structure" of cotangent bundle due to Hitchin school.
The coordinate transformation Jacobian matrices of the measure of sigma model
with spin structures cause one part of the gravitational "anomaly cancellation"
of smooth Kahler manifold $X$ and Weyl anomaly of compact Riemann surface $\\Sigma$.

$Anom = c_1 (X) c_1 (\\Sigma) \\oplus ch_2 (X)$,

in terms of 1st and 2nd Chern characters. Note that when $\\Sigma$ is a puctured disk
with flat metric, the chiral algebra is nothing but the ordinary vertex algebra.

Note that I do not explain the complex differential geometry,
but essentially more recent works with the category of DGA (Diffenreial Graded Algebra),
which is behind the super conformal field theory of chiral algebras.

My result of "vanishing tachyon" (nil-radical part of vertex algebras)
and "causality resortation" in compactified non-critical heterotic sigma model
is physically a promising idea of new solution to unitary representation of operator algebras.
This idea is realized in the formalism of BRST cohomology and its generalization
in $\\mathcal{N} = (0,2)$ supersymmetry, that is, non-commutative geometry
with non-linear constraint condition of pure spinors for covariant quantization.

Tau-functions of Toda theories, partitions and conformal blocks
[ Abstract ]
I discuss the class of tau-functions,
corresponding to special solutions of integrable systems,
related to Hurwitz numbers and supersymmetric Yang-Mills
theories. Their natural generalization turn to coincide with
the conformal blocks of two-dimensional conformal
field theories. In special case these conformal
blocks turn into the scalar products of certain ``coherent
states'' in the highest-weight module of the Virasoro
algebra, generalizing the matrix elements
for the well-known coherent states in Fock spaces.

A Mathematical Aspect of the One-Dimensional Keller and Rubinow Model for Liesegang Bands
[ Abstract ]
In 1896, colloid-chemist R.E. Liesegang [4] observed strikingly
regular patterns in precipitation-reaction processes, which are referred to as Liesegang bands or rings, according to their shape. In this talk I introduce an attempt to understand from a mathematical viewpoint the experiments in which regularized structures with spatially distinct bands of precipitated material are exhibited, with clearly visible scaling properties. This study is a result [1] of a collaboration with Professors D. Hilhorst, R. van der Hout, and M. Mimura.

Birational Hyperbolic Geometry
[ Abstract ]
We study compactifications for complex ball quotients.
We first recall the Satake-Bailey-Borel compactification and the Mumford resolution.
Then we discuss compactifications of ball quotients minus a totally geodesic divisor.
These compactifications turn up for a suitable class of period maps.

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.

Regularized total least squares: computational aspects and error bounds
[ Abstract ]
For solving linear ill-posed problems, regularization methods are required when the right hand side and/or the operator are corrupted by some noise. In the present talk, regularized solutions are constructed using regularized total least squares and dual regularized total least squares. We discuss computational aspects and provide order optimal error bounds that characterize the accuracy of the regularized solutions. The results extend earlier results where the operator is exactly given. We also present some numerical experiments, which shed light on the relationship between RTLS, dual RTLS and the standard Tikhonov regularization.

A new appearance of the Morita-Penner cocycle
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will recall the Morita-Penner cocycle on the dual fatgraph complex for a surface with one boundary component. This cocycle, when restricted to paths representing elements of the mapping class group, represents the extended first Johnson homomorphism \\tau_1, thus can be viewed as a (in some specific sense canonical) "groupoid extension" of \\tau_1. There are now several different contexts in which this cocycle can be constructed, and in this talk I will briefly review several of them, including one discovered in the context of finite type invariants of homology cylinders in joint work with J.E. Andersen, J-B. Meilhan, and R.C. Penner.

p進エタール層のp進Hodge理論
[ Abstract ]
複素や実の多様体の特異コホモロジーを微分形式の言葉で記述する理論として、de Rhamの定理やHodge理論が良く知られている。p進Hodge理論は、これらの類似をp進体上の代数多様体のp進エタール・コホモロジーで考える理論である。p進エタール・コホモロジーにはp進体の絶対ガロア群が非常に複雑に作用しており、この作用を分かりやすい別の言葉で記述する理論の構築が、p進Hodge理論における大きな課題となっている。前半でp進Hodge理論の研究の歴史や背景について概観した後、後半ではp進体の絶対ガロア群のp進表現の相対版である、p進体上定義された代数多様体上のp進エタール層についての最近の研究を紹介する。

ASYMPTOTICALLY EFFICIENT DISCRETE HEDGING
[ Abstract ]
The notion of asymptotic efficiency for discrete hedging is introduced and a discretizing strategy which is asymptotically efficient is given explicitly. A lower bound for asymptotic risk of discrete hedging is given, which is attained by a simple discretization scheme. Numerical results for delta hedging in the Black-Scholes model are also presented.
