The affine Grassmannian as a presheaf quotient (English)
[ Abstract ]
The affine Grassmannian of a reductive group G is usually defined as the étale sheafification of the quotient of the loop group LG by the positive loop subgroup. I will discuss various triviality results for G-torsors which imply that this sheafification is often not necessary.

Integral structures in the local algebra of a singularity (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We compute the image of the Milnor lattice of an ADE singularity under a period map. We also prove that the Milnor lattice can be identified with an appropriate relative K-group defined through the Berglund-Huebsch dual of the corresponding singularity. Furthermore, we figure out the image of the Milnor lattice of the singularity of an invertible polynomial of chain type using the basis of middle homology constructed by Otani-Takahashi. We calculated the Seifert form of the basis as well.

Holomorphic foliation associated with a semi-positive class of numerical dimension one (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $\alpha$ be a Dolbeault cohomology class of bidegree $(1,1)$ on $X$.
When the numerical dimension of $\alpha$ is one and $\alpha$ admits at least two smooth semi-positive representatives, we show the existence of a family of real analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in $X$ and a holomorphic foliation on a suitable domain of $X$ along whose leaves any semi-positive representative of $\alpha$ is zero.

As an application, we give the affirmative answer to a conjecture on the relation between the semi-positivity of the line bundle $[Y]$ and the analytic structure of a neighborhood of $Y$ for a smooth connected hypersurface $Y$ of $X$.

An infinite sequence of Heron triangles with two rational medians (English)
[ Abstract ]
Triangles with integer length sides and integer area are known as Heron triangles. Taking rescaling freedom into account, one can apply the same name when all sides and the area are rational numbers. A perfect triangle is a Heron triangle with all three medians being rational, and it is a longstanding conjecture that no such triangle exists. However, despite an assertion by Schubert that even two rational medians are impossible, Buchholz and Rathbun showed that there are infinitely many Heron triangles with two rational medians, an infinite subset of which are associated with rational points on an elliptic curve E(Q) with Mordell-Weil group Z x Z/2Z, and they observed a connection with a pair of Somos-5 sequences. Here we make the latter connection more precise by providing explicit formulae for the integer side lengths, the two rational medians, and the area in this infinite family of Heron triangles. The proof uses a combined approach to Somos-5 sequences and associated Quispel-Roberts-Thompson (QRT) maps in the plane, from several different viewpoints: complex analysis, real dynamics, and reduction modulo a prime.

The Calder'on problem for nonlocal parabolic operators (English)
[ Abstract ]
We investigate inverse problems in the determination of leading coefficients for nonlocal parabolic operators, by knowing the corresponding Cauchy data in the exterior space-time domain. The key contribution is that we reduce nonlocal parabolic inverse problems to the corresponding local inverse problems with the lateral boundary Cauchy data. In addition, we derive a new equation and offer a novel proof of the unique continuation property for this new equation. We also build both uniqueness and non-uniqueness results for both nonlocal isotropic and anisotropic parabolic Calder'on problems, respectively.
This is a joint work with Ching-Lung Lin and Gunther Uhlmann.

Determinantal expressions for Ohyama polynomials (English)
[ Abstract ]
The Ohyama polynomials provide algebraic solutions of the D7 case of the Painleve III equation at a particular sequence of parameter values. It is known that many special function solutions of Painleve equations are expressed in terms of tau functions that can be written in the form of determinants, but until now such a representation for the Ohyama polynomials was not known. Here we present two different determinantal formulae for these polynomials: the first, in terms of Wronskian determinants related to a Darboux transformation for a Lax pair of KdV type; and the second, in terms of Hankel determinants, which is related to the Toda lattice. If time permits, then connections with orthogonal polynomials, and with the recent Riemann-Hilbert approach of Buckingham & Miller, will briefly be mentioned.

Discrete dynamics, continued fractions and hyperelliptic curves (English)
[ Abstract ]
After reviewing some standard facts about continued fractions for quadratic irrationals, we switch from the real numbers to the field of Laurent series, and describe some classical and more recent results on continued fraction expansions for the square root of an even degree polynomial, and other functions defined on the associated hyperelliptic curve. In the latter case, we extend results of van der Poorten on continued fractions of Jacobi type (J-fractions), and explain the connection with a family of discrete integrable systems (including Quispel-Roberts-Thompson maps and Somos sequences), orthogonal polynomials, and the Toda lattice. If time permits, we will make some remarks on current work with John Roberts and Pol Vanhaecke, concerning expansions involving the square root of an odd degree polynomial, Stieltjes continued fractions, and the Volterra lattice.

Toric Fano varieties arising from posets and their combinatorial mutation equivalence (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In 1986, Stanley introduced two polytopes arising from posets, called order polytopes and chain polytopes. Since then, those polytopes have been studied from viewpoints of combinatorics. Projective toric varieties arising from order polytopes are called Hibi toric varieties in these days. On the other hand, combinatorial mutations were introduced by Akhtar-Coates-Galkin-Kasprzyk in 2012 in the context of the classification problem of Fano varieties using mirror symmetry.
In this talk, after surveying two poset polytopes and combinatorial mutations, we discuss the combinatorial mutation equivalence of two poset polytopes. Those equivalence implies qG-deformation equivalence of projective toric varieties arising from two poset polytopes.
Moreover, it turns out that order polytopes, chain polytopes and their intermediate polytopes correspond to some toric Fano varieties.

Some calculations of an earthquake map in the cross ratio coordinates and the earthquake theorem of cluster algebras of finite type (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Thurston defined an earthquake, which cuts the Poincaré half-plane model and shifts it. Though it is a discontinuous bijective map, it can be extended to a homeomorphism of a circumference. Also, if an earthquake is equivalent relative to a Fuchsian group, the homeomorphism is equivalent, too. Moreover, Thurston proved the earthquake theorem saying that there uniquely exists an earthquake for any orient-preserving homeomorphism of a circumference, and Bonsante-Krasnov-Schlenker extended it to the case of marked surfaces. We calculate some earthquake maps by the cross ratio coordinates. The cross ratio coordinates are deeply related by the cluster algebra (Fock-Goncharov). We prove the earthquake theorem of cluster algebras of finite type. It is a joint work with Tsukasa Ishibashi and Shunsuke Kano.

Parameter Estimation with Increased Precision for Elliptic and Hypo-elliptic Diffusions

[ Abstract ]
Parametric inference for multi-dimensional diffusion processes has been studied over the past decades. Established approaches for likelihood-based estimation invoke a numerical time-discretisation scheme for the approximation of the (typically intractable) transition dynamics of the Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) over finite time periods. Especially in the setting of some class of hypo-elliptic models, recent research (Ditlevsen and Samson 2019, Gloter and Yoshida 2021) has highlighted the critical effect of the choice of numerical scheme on the behaviour of derived parameter estimates. In our work, first, we develop two weak second order ‘sampling schemes' (to cover both the hypo-elliptic and elliptic classes) and generate accompanying ‘transition density schemes' of the SDE (i.e., approximations of the SDE transition density). Then, we produce a collection of analytic results, providing a complete theoretical framework that solidifies the proposed schemes and showcases advantages from their incorporation within SDE calibration methods, in both high and low frequency observations regime. We also present numerical results from carrying out classical or Bayesian inference. This is a joint work with Alexandros Beskos and Matthew Graham, and the preprint is available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.16384.

G-displays over prisms and deformation theory (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The notion of display, which was introduced by Zink, has been successfully applied to the deformation theory of p-divisible groups. Recently, for a reductive group G over the ring of p-adic integers, Lau introduced the notion of G-display. In this talk, following the approach of Lau, we study displays and G-displays over the prismatic site of Bhatt-Scholze, and explain the deformation theory for them. As an application, we give an alternative proof of the classification of p-divisible groups over a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic (0, p) with perfect residue field, using our deformation theory.

Towards a geometric origin of the dynamical filtrations (English)
[ Abstract ]
Let X be a smooth projective variety with an automorphism f. When X is a threefold, Serge Cantat asked whether X has a non-trivial equivariant rational fibration, if the action of f on the Néron-Severi space is non-trivial and unipotent. We will propose a precise conjecture related to Cantat's question for minimal varieties in arbitrary dimension, in light of the "dynamical filtrations" arising in the study of zero entropy group actions. This conjecture also suggests a geometric origin of dynamical filtrations, whose definition is purely cohomological. We will provide some heuristic evidence from the relative abundance conjecture.
If time permits, we will also explain how the study of dynamical filtrations leads to new results about solvable group actions, which are not necessarily of zero entropy.

The relative minimal model program for excellent algebraic spaces and analytic spaces in equal characteristic zero (English)
[ Abstract ]
In 2010, Birkar, Cascini, Hacon, and McKernan proved a relative version of the minimal model program for projective morphisms of complex quasi-projective varieties, called the relative minimal model program with scaling. Their result is now fundamental to our understanding of the birational classification of quasi-projective varieties and has numerous applications.
In this talk, I will discuss recent joint work with Shiji Lyu that establishes the relative minimal model program with scaling for excellent schemes, excellent algebraic spaces, and analytic spaces simultaneously in equal characteristic zero. This not only recovers previous results for complex varieties, complex algebraic spaces, and complex analytic spaces, but also greatly extends the scope of the relative minimal model program with scaling to a broader class of geometric spaces, including formal schemes, rigid analytic spaces, and Berkovich spaces, all in equal characteristic zero. Our results for (non-algebraic) schemes and rigid analytic spaces were previously only known in dimensions ≤3 and ≤2, respectively, and our results for formal schemes and Berkovich spaces are completely new.

A commentary on J. Boman's recent two related results about the support of a distribution and its analyticity, and a special relationship between Radon transformations and ellipsoidal regions (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Jan Boman's (Stockholm Univ.) recent two papers:
[1], Regularity of a distribution and of the boundary of its support, The Journal of Geometric Analysis vol.32, Article number: 300 (2022).
[2], A hypersurface containing the support of a Radon transform must be an ellipsoid. II: The general case; J. Inverse Ill-Posed Probl. 2021; 29(3): 351–367.
In [1] he proved "Let $f(x_1,…,x_n,y)$ be a non-zero distribution with support in a $C^1$ surface $N=\{y=F(x)\}$. If $f(x,y)$ is depending real analytically on x-variables, then $F(x)$ is analytic". As an application, he reinforced the main result of [2]. These results are obtained essentially by means of matrix algebra and a number theoretic method.

Band width and the Rosenberg index
[ Abstract ]
Band width is a concept recently proposed by Gromov. It is based on the idea that when a certain band (i.e., manifold with two boundaries) is openly immersed to a target manifold M with positive scalar curvature metric, then its width is bounded by a uniform constant called the band width of M. A qualitative consequence is that infiniteness of the band width of M obstructs to positive scalar curvature.
In this talk, infiniteness of a version of the band width, Zeidler's KO-band width, is dominated as a PSC obstruction by an existing obstruction, the Rosenberg index. This answers to a conjecture by Zeidler.

Moduli of G-constellations and crepant resolutions (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
For a finite subgroup G of SL_n(C), a moduli space of G-constellations is a generalization of the G-Hilbert scheme and is important from the viewpoint of McKay correspondence. In this talk I will explain its basic properties and show that every projective crepant resolution of C^3/G is isomorphic to such a moduli space.

Spectral convergence in geometric quantization on K3 surfaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk I will explain the geometric quantization on K3 surfaces from the viewpoint of the spectral convergence. We take a special Lagrangian fibrations on the K3 surfaces and a family of hyper-Kähler structures tending to large complex structure limit and show a spectral convergence of the d-bar-Laplacians on the prequantum line bundle to the spectral structure related to the set of Bohr-Sommerfeld fibers.

We consider discrete Schrödinger operators on the square lattice with its mesh size very small. The aim of this talk is to introduce the rigorous setting of continuum limit problems in the view point of operator theory and then to give its proof for the above operators, the one of which is defined on the vertices and the other of which is defined on the edges. This talk is based on joint works with Shu Nakamura (Gakushuin University) and Pavel Exner (Czech Academy of Science, Czech Technical University).

$L^2$-extension index and its applications (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we introduce a new concept of $L^2$-extension indices. By using this notion, we propose a new way to study the positivity of curvature. We prove that there is an equivalence between how sharp the $L^2$-extension is and how positive the curvature is. As applications, we study Prekopa-type theorems and the positivity of a certain direct image sheaf.
