The unitary inversion operator for the minimal representation of the indefinite orthogonal group O(p,q)
[ Abstract ]
The indefinite orthogonal group $O(p,q)$ ($p+q$ even, greater than four) has a distinguished infinite dimensional irreducible unitary representation called the 'minimal representation'. Among various models, the $L^2$-model of the minimal representation of $O(p,q)$ was established by Kobayashi-Ørsted (2003). In this talk, we focus on and present an explicit formula for the unitary inversion operator, which plays a key role for the analysis on this L2-model as well as understanding the $G$-action on $L^2(C)$. Our proof uses the Radon transform of distributions supported on the light cone.
This is a joint work with T. Kobayashi.

Mikhail Kapranov (Yale 大学)
Riemann-Roch for determinantal gerbes and smooth manifolds
[ Abstract ]
A version of the Riemann-Roch theorem for curves due to Deligne, describes the determinant of the cohomology of a vector bundle E on a curve.
If one realizes E via the Krichever construction, the determinant of the cohomology becomes a Hom-space in the determinantal gerbe for the vector space over the field of power series. So one has a ``local" Riemann-Roch problem of description of this gerbe itself. The talk will present the results of a joint work with E. Vasserot describing the class of such a gerbe in a family which geometrically can be seen as a circle fibration. This can be further generalized to the case of a fibration with fibers being smooth compact manifolds of any dimension d (joint work with P. Bressler, B. Tsygan and E. Vasserot).

Kontsevich's characteristic classes for higher dimensional homology sphere bundles
[ Abstract ]
As an analogue of the perturbative Chern-Simons theory, Maxim Kontsevich
constructed universal characteristic classes of smooth fiber bundles with fiber
diffeomorphic to a singularly framed odd dimensional homology sphere.
In this talk, I will give a sketch proof of our result on non-triviality of the
Kontsevich classes for 7-dimensional homology sphere bundles.

On the vanishing of the Rohlin invariant
[ Abstract ]
The vanishing of the Rohlin invariant of an amphichiral integral
homology $3$-sphere $M$ (i.e. $M \\cong -M$) is a natural consequence
of some elementary properties of the Casson invariant. In this talk, we
give a new direct (and more elementary) proof of this vanishing
property. The main idea comes from the definition of the degree 1
part of the Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston invariant, and we progress
by constructing some $7$-dimensional manifolds in which $M$ is embedded.

Affine W-algebras and their representations
[ Abstract ]
The W-algebras are an interesting class of vertex algebras, which can be understood as a generalization of Virasoro algebra. It was originally introduced by Zamolodchikov in his study of conformal field theory. Later Feigin-Frenkel discovered that the W-algebras can be defined via the method of quantum BRST reduction. A few years ago this method was generalized by Kac-Roan-Wakimoto in full generality, producing many interesting vertex algebras. Almost at the same time Premet re-discovered the finite-dimensional version of W-algebras (finite W-algebras), in connection with the modular representation theory.

In the talk we quickly recall the Feigin-Frenkel theory which connects the Whittaker models of the center of $U({\\mathfrak g})$ and affine (principal) W-algebras, and discuss their representation theory. Next we recall the construction of Kac-Roan-Wakimoto and discuss the representation theory of affine W-algebras associated with general nilpotent orbits. In particular, I explain how the representation theory of finite W-algebras (=the endmorphism ring of the generalized Gelfand-Graev representation) applies to the representation of affine W-algebras.

Pathologies on ruled surfaces in positive characteristic
[ Abstract ]
We discuss some pathologies of log varieties in positive characteristic. Mainly, we show that on ruled surfaces there are counterexamples of several logarithmic type theorems. On the other hand, we also give a characterization of the counterexamples of the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem on a geometrically ruled surface by means of the Tango invariant of the base curve.

Harish-Chandra expansion of the matrix coefficients of $P_J$ Principal series Representation of $Sp(2,R)$
[ Abstract ]
Asymptotic expansion of the matrix coefficents of class-1 principal series representation was considered by Harish-Chandra. The coefficient of the leading exponent of the expansion is called the c-function which plays an important role in the harmonic analysis on the Lie group.

In this talk, we consider the Harish-Chandra expansion of the matrix coefficients of the standard representation which is the parabolic induction with respect to a non-minimal parabolic subgroup of $Sp(2,R)$.

This is the joint study with Professor T. Oda.

Realization of twisted $K$-theory and
finite-dimensional approximation of Fredholm operators
[ Abstract ]
A problem in twisted $K$-theory is to realize twisted $K$-groups generally by means of finite-dimensional geometric objects, like vector bundles. I would like to talk about an approach toward the problem by means of Mikio Furuta's generalized vector bundles. By using a twisted version of the generalized vector bundle and a finite-dimensional approximation of Fredholm operators, I construct a group into which there exists a natural injection from the twisted $K$-group twisted by any third integral cohomology class.

Existence problem of compact Clifford-Klein forms of the infinitesimal homogeneous space of indefinite Stiefle manifolds

[ Abstract ]
The existence problem of compact Clifford-Klein forms is important in the study of discrete groups. There are several open problems on it, even in the reductive cases, which is most studied. For a homogeneous space of reductive type, one can define its `infinitesimal' homogeneous space.
This homogeneous space is easier to consider the existence problem of compact Clifford-Klein forms.
In this talk, we especially consider the infinitesimal homogeneous spaces of indefinite Stiefel manifolds. And, we reduce the existence problem of compact Clifford-Klein forms to certain algebraic problem, which was already studied from other motivation.

Existence Problem of Compact Locally Symmetric Spaces
[ Abstract ]
The local to global study of geometries was a major trend of 20th century geometry, with remarkable developments achieved particularly in Riemannian geometry. In contrast, in areas such as Lorentz geometry, familiar to us as the space-time of relativity theory, and more generally in pseudo-Riemannian geometry, as well as in various other kinds of geometry (symplectic, complex geometry, ...), surprising little is known about global properties of the geometry even if we impose a locally homogeneous structure.

In this talk, I will give a survey on the recent developments on the question about how the local geometric structure affects the global nature of non-Riemannian manifolds with emphasis on the existence problem of compact models of locally symmetric spaces.

Rearrangement inequalities and isoperimetric eigenvalue problems for second-order differential operators
[ Abstract ]
The talk is concerned with various optimization results for the principal eigenvalues of general second-order elliptic operators in divergence form with Dirichlet boundary condition in bounded domains of R^n. We show that, to each operator in a given domain, we can associate a radially symmetric operator in the ball with the same Lebesgue measure, with a smaller principal eigenvalue. The constraints on the coefficients are of integral, pointwise or geometric types.

The results are new even for symmetric operators or in dimension 1. In particular, we generalize the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian. The proofs use a new rearrangement technique, different from the Schwarz symmetrization. This talk is based on a joint work with N. Nadirashvili and E. Russ.
