Special fibers of pencils of hypersurfaces
[ Abstract ]
We consider pencils of hypersurfaces of degree $d>1$ in the complex
$n$-dimensional projective space subject to the condition that the
generic fiber is irreducible. We study the set of completely reducible
fibers, i.e., the unions of hyperplanes. The first surprinsing result is
that the cardinality of thie set has very strict uniformed upper bound
(not depending on $d$ or $n$). The other one gives a characterization
of this set in terms of either topology of its complement or combinatorics
of hyperplanes. We also include into consideration more general special
fibers are iimportant for characteristic varieties of the hyperplane
complements.

Scorza quartics of trigonal spin curves and their varieties of power sums
高木寛通 (東大数理)
Scorza quartics of trigonal spin curves and their varieties of power sums
[ Abstract ]
Our fundamental result is the construction of new subvarieties in the varieties of power sums for the Scorza quartic of any general pairs of trigonal curves and non-effective theta characteristics. This is a generalization of Mukai's description of smooth prime Fano threefolds of genus twelve as the varieties of power sums for plane quartics. Among other applications, we give an affirmative answer to the conjecture of Dolgachev and Kanev on the existence of the Scorza quartic for any general pairs of curves and non-effective theta characteristics.

Hidden dynamics and pulsating waves in self-propagating high temperature synthesis
WEISS Georg (東京大学大学院数理科学研究科)
Hidden dynamics and pulsating waves in self-propagating high temperature synthesis
[ Abstract ]
We derive the precise limit of SHS in the high activation energy scaling suggested by B.J. Matkowksy-G.I. Sivashinsky in 1978 and by A. Bayliss-B.J. Matkowksy-A.P. Aldushin in 2002. In the time-increasing case the limit coincides with the Stefan problem for supercooled water with spatially inhomogeneous coefficients. In general it is a nonlinear forward-backward parabolic equation with discontinuous hysteresis term.
In the first part we give a complete characterization of the limit problem in the case of one space dimension. In the second part we construct in any finite dimension a rather large family of pulsating waves for the limit problem. In the third part, we prove that for constant coefficients the limit problem in any finite dimension does not admit non-trivial pulsating waves.
This is a joint work with Regis MONNEAU (CERMICS, France).

村上 順 (早稲田大学理工)
On the invariants of knots and 3-manifolds related to the restricted quantum group
[ Abstract ]
I would like to talk about the colored Alexander invariant and the logarithmic
invariant of knots and links. They are constructed from the universal R-matrices
of the semi-resetricted and restricted quantum groups of sl(2) respectively,
and they are related to the hyperbolic volumes of the cone manifolds along
the knot. I also would like to explain an attempt to generalize these invariants to
a three manifold invariant which relates to the volume of the manifold actually.

Maximal Regularity for Mixed Order Systems
Juergen Saal (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Konstanz)
Maximal Regularity for Mixed Order Systems
[ Abstract ]
In classical boundary value problems the related symbols are homogeneous in space and time. This allows for the application of a standard compactness argument in order to obtain the important maximal regularity. However, quasilinear systems arising e.g. from free boundary problems are in general of mixed order. In other words the related symbols are of intricate structure and in particular highly inhomogeneous. Therefore, the standard compactness argument fails. The purpose of this talk is to introduce the Newton polygon method, which gives a systematic approach to such mixed order systems and to demonstrate its strength by applications to the Stefan problem and a free boundary problem for the Navier-Stokes equations.

Understanding singular algebraic varieties via string theory

Understanding singular algebraic varieties via string theory
[ Abstract ]
String theory has helped to formulate two major new insights in the study of singular algebraic varieties. The first -- which also arose from symplectic geometry -- is that families of Kaehler metrics are an important tool in uncovering the structure of singular algebraic varieties. The second, more recent insight -- related to independent work in the representation theory of associative algebras -- is that one's understanding of a singular (affine) algebraic variety is enhanced if one can find a non-commutative ring whose center is the coordinate ring of the variety. We will describe both of these insights, and explain how they are related to string theory.

The hungry discrete Toda equation is a generalization of the discrete Toda
equation. Through the method of ultradiscretization, the generalized
Box-ball system (gBBS) with finitely many kinds of balls is obtained from
hungry discrete Toda eq.. It is to be expected that the general solution of
gBBS should be obtained from the solution of hungry discrete Toda eq.
through ultradiscretization. In this talk, we derive the solutions of hungry
periodic discrete Toda eq. (hpd Toda eq.), by using inverse scattering
method. Although the hpd Toda equation does not linearlized in the usual
sense on the Picard group of the spectral curve, it is possible to determine
its behavior on the Picard group.

[ Abstract ]
The ultra-discrete Toda equation is essentially equivalent to the integrable
Box and Ball system, and considered to be a fundamental object in
ultra-discrete integrable systems. In this talk, we construct the general
solution of ultra-discrete Toda equation with periodic boundary condition,
by using the tropical theta function and the bilinear form. The tropical
theta function is associated with the tropical curve defined through the Lax
matrix of (not ultra-) discrete periodic Toda equation. For the proof, we
introduce a tropical analogue of Fay's trisecant identity. (This talk is
based on the joint work with R. Inoue.)

How to lift a construction by Hiroshi Inose to conformal field theory
[ Abstract ]
The moduli space of Einstein metrics is well known to algebraic and differential geometers. Physicists have introduced the notion of conformal field theories (CFTs) associated to K3, and the moduli space of these objects is well understood as well. It can be interpreted as a generalisation of the moduli space of Einstein metrics on K3, which allows us to introduce this space without having to use background knowledge from conformal field theory. However, just as no smooth Einstein metrics on K3 are known explicitly, the explicit construction of CFTs associated to K3 in general remains an open problem. The only known constructions which allow to deal with families of CFTs give CFTs associated to K3 surfaces with orbifold singularities.
We use a classical construction by Hiroshi Inose to explicitly construct a family of CFTs which are associated to a family of smooth algebraic K3 surfaces. Although these CFTs were known before, it is remarkable that they allow a description in terms of a family of smooth surfaces whose complex structure is deformed while all other geometric data remain fixed.
We also discuss possible extensions of this result to higher dimensional Calabi-Yau threefolds.

Luc Illusie (パリ南大学)
On Gabber's refined uniformization theorem and applications
[ Abstract ]
Gabber has announced the following theorem : if X is a noetherian quasi-excellent scheme, Z a nowhere dense closed subset, and l a prime number invertible on X, then, locally for the topology on schemes of finite type over X generated, up to thickenings, by proper surjective maps which are generically finite of degree prime to l and by Nisnevich covers, the pair (X,Z) can be uniformized, i. e. replaced by a pair (Y,D), where Y is regular and D a strict normal crossings divisor. The whole proof is not yet written. I will give an overview. The plan is :
1. Statement and reduction to the complete local case (techniques of approximation)
2. Refined partial algebraization of complete local noetherian rings
3. Reduction to the equivariant log regular case (de Jong's techniques)
4. Making actions very tame, end of proof.
If time permits, I will show how the above theorem provides a short proof of Gabber's finiteness theorem for higher direct images of constructible sheaves of torsion prime to the characteristics by morphisms of finite type between quasi-excellent noetherian schemes.

Estimation of the integrated volatility in presence of microstructure noise
[ Abstract ]
The aim is to estimate the integrated volatility of a process observed discretely, in the setting of high frequency data, and when there is a microstructure noise. We use a kind of pre-averaging approach, which is rate-optimal when the noise is i.i.d., and may probably be even variance-optimal for a good choice of the kernel involved. However, the main innovative aspect is that it accommodates other types of noise, and in particular the case where the observations are rounded values of the underlying process plus an additive noise.

Estimating the Degree of Activity of jumps in High Frequency Data
[ Abstract ]
Suppose that a continuous-time process X = (X_t )_{t >= 0} is observed at finitely many times, regularly spaced, on the fixed time interval [0, T ]. We suppose that this process is an It\\^o semimartingale, with a non-vanishing diffusion coefficient, and with jumps. The aim is to estimate the so-called ”Blumenthal-Getoor” index of the (partially observed) path on [0, T ], which is the (random) infimum of all reals r such that the sum \\sum_{s\\le T} |\\Delta X_s|^r is finite (\\Delta X_s denotes the jump size at time s). When X is a L'evy process, this infimum is non-random, and also independent of T , and has been introduced by Blumenthal and Getoor. Under appropriate assumptions, unfortunately rather restrictive, we provide an estimator, which is consistent when the step size between observations goes to 0, and satisfies in addition a Central Limit Theorem. We also show the (surprising) values that this estimator takes, when applied to real financial data.

A Hybrid Asymptotic Expansion Scheme: an Application to Long-term Currency Options
[ Abstract ]
In this session we develop a general approximation scheme, henceforth called a hybrid asymptotic expansion scheme for the valuation of multi-factor European path-independent derivatives. Specifically, we apply it to pricing long-term currency options under a market model of interest rates and a general diffusion stochastic volatility model with jumps of spot exchange rates.
Our scheme is very effective for a type of models in which there exist correlations among all the factors whose dynamics are not necessarily affine nor even Markovian so long as the randomness is generated by Brownian motions. It can also handle models that include jump components under an assumption of their independence of the other random variables when the characteristic functions for the jump parts can be analytically obtained.
Moreover, the hybrid scheme develops Fourier transform method with an asymptotic expansion to utilize closed-form characteristic functions obtainable in parts of a model.
Our scheme also introduces a characteristic-function-based Monte Carlo simulation method with the asymptotic expansion as a control variable in order to make full use of analytical approximations by the asymptotic expansion and of closed-form characteristic functions.
Finally, a series of numerical examples shows the validity of our scheme.

On Gabber's refined uniformization theorem and applications
[ Abstract ]
Gabber has announced the following theorem : if X is a noetherian quasi-excellent scheme, Z a nowhere dense closed subset, and l a prime number invertible on X, then, locally for the topology on schemes of finite type over X generated, up to thickenings, by proper surjective maps which are generically finite of degree prime to l and by Nisnevich covers, the pair (X,Z) can be uniformized, i. e. replaced by a pair (Y,D), where Y is regular and D a strict normal crossings divisor. The whole proof is not yet written. I will give an overview. The plan is :
1. Statement and reduction to the complete local case (techniques of approximation)
2. Refined partial algebraization of complete local noetherian rings
3. Reduction to the equivariant log regular case (de Jong's techniques)
4. Making actions very tame, end of proof.
If time permits, I will show how the above theorem provides a short proof of Gabber's finiteness theorem for higher direct images of constructible sheaves of torsion prime to the characteristics by morphisms of finite type between quasi-excellent noetherian schemes.
