Spin Hall effect in metals and in insulators
[ Abstract ]
We theoretically predicted that by applying an electric field
to a nonmagnetic system, a spin current is induced in a transverse
direction [1,2]. This is called a spin Hall effect. After its
theoretical predictions on semiconductors [1,2], it has been
extensively studied theoretically and experimentally, partly due
to a potential application to spintronics devices.
In particular, one of the topics of interest is quantum spin
Hall systems, which are spin analogues of the quantum Hall systems.
These systems are insulators in bulk, and have gapless edge states
which carry a spin current. These edge states are characterized
by a Z_2 topological number [3] of a bulk Hamiltonian.
If the topological number is odd, there appear gapless edge states
which carry spin current. In my talk I will briefly review the
spin Hall effect including its experimental results and present
understanding. Then I will focus on the quantum spin Hall systems,
and explain various properties of the Z_2 topological number and
its relation to edge states.

Disorder in Quantum Spin Hall Systems
[ Abstract ]
The quantum spin Hall phase is a novel state of matter with
topological properties. It might be realized in graphene and
probably also in type III semiconductors quantum wells.
Most recent theoretical treatments of this phase discuss its
occurrence in clean systems with perfect crystal symmetry.
In this seminar I will report on a recent work (in collaboration
with N. Nagaosa and M. Onoda) on disordered quantum spin Hall
systems. Following a brief introduction and background I will
discuss the persistence of topological terms also in disordered
systems (following a recent work of Sheng and Haldane) and
then present our results on the localization problem in two
dimensional systems. Due to spin-orbit interaction, there
is a metallic phase as is well known
for the symplectic ensemble. Together with the existence of
a topological term it leads to some surprising results regarding
the scaling theory of localization.

Finite generation of the canonical ring
[ Abstract ]
One of the most fundamental invariants of any smooth projective variety is the canonical ring, the graded ring of all global pluricanonical holomorphic n-forms. We explain some of the recent ideas behind the proof of finite generation of the canonical ring and its connection with the programme of Iitaka and Mori in the classification of algebraic varieties.

Atomistic view of InAs quantum dot self-assembly from inside the growth chamber
[ Abstract ]
A 'quantum dot' is a tiny region of a solid, typically just nanometres in each direction, in which electrons can be confined. Semiconductor quantum dots are the focus of intense research geared towards exploiting this property for electronic devices. The most economical method of producing quantum dots is by self-assembly, where billions of dots can be grown simultaneously. The precise mechanism of self-assembly is not understood and is hampering efforts to control the characteristics of the dots. We have used a unique microscope to directly image semiconductor quantum dots as they are growing, which is a unique scanning tunnelling microscope placed within the molecular beam epitaxy growth chamber. The images elucidate the mechanism of InAs quantum dot nucleation on GaAs(001) substrate, demonstrating directly that not all deposited In is initially incorporated into the lattice, hence providing a large supply of material to rapidly form quantum dots via islands containing tens of atoms. kinetic Monte Carlo simulations based on first-principles calculations show that alloy fluctuations in the InGaAs wetting layer prior to are crucial in determining nucleation sites.

The Yamabe constants of infinite coverings and a positive mass theorem
[ Abstract ]
The {\\it Yamabe constant} $Y(M, C)$ of a given closed conformal manifold
$(M, C)$ is defined by the infimum of
the normalized total-scalar-curavarure functional $E$
among all metrics in $C$.
The study of the second variation of this functional $E$ led O.Kobayashi and Schoen
to independently introduce a natural differential-topological invariant $Y(M)$,
which is obtained by taking the supremum of $Y(M, C)$ over the space of all conformal classes.
This invariant $Y(M)$ is called the {\\it Yamabe invariant} of $M$.
For the study of the Yamabe invariant,
the relationship between $Y(M, C)$ and those of its conformal coverings
is important, the case when $Y(M, C)> 0$ particularly.
When $Y(M, C) \\leq 0$, by the uniqueness of unit-volume constant scalar curvature metrics in $C$,
the desired relation is clear.
When $Y(M, C) > 0$, such a uniqueness does not hold.
However, Aubin proved that $Y(M, C)$ is strictly less than
the Yamabe constant of any of its non-trivial {\\it finite} conformal coverings,
called {\\it Aubin's Lemma}.
In this talk, we generalize this lemma to the one for the Yamabe constant of
any $(M_{\\infty}, C_{\\infty})$ of its {\\it infinite} conformal coverings,
under a certain topological condition on the relation between $\\pi_1(M)$ and $\\pi_1(M_{\\infty})$.
For the proof of this, we aslo establish a version of positive mass theorem
for a specific class of asymptotically flat manifolds with singularities.

Logarithmic connections along Saito free divisors
[ Abstract ]
We develop an approach to the study of meromorphic connections with logarithmic poles along a Saito free divisor. In particular, basic properties of Christoffel symbols of such connections are established. We also compute the set of all integrable meromorphic connections with logarithmic poles and describe the corresponding spaces of horizontal sections for some examples of Saito free divisors including the discriminants of the minimal versal deformations of $A_2$- and of $A_3$-singularities, and a divisor in $\mathbf{C}^3$ which appeared in a work of M. Sato in the context of the theory of prehomogeneous spaces.

ゆらぎをめぐる風景
[ Abstract ]
「ゆらぎ」とは、決まった規則がないままにゆらゆらと漂っているさまをあわらしている。わたしたちは、明確な動きの背後には規則があると自然に信じ、その規則を探ろうとするが、「ゆらゆら」に特別の意味をみようとしないだろう。ところで、それがゆえに、「ゆらゆら」の背後に何らかの構造が埋まっていることがわかったときには、衝撃が一段と大きい。
ゆらぎから新しい構造を抜き出した例を並べると、理論物理学史のひとつの断片ができる。講演前半部分では、このなかから20世紀前半のふたりの研究成果をアレンジしながら紹介したい。そのふたりとは、アインシュタインとオンサーガである。ゆらぎと対峙することで、マクロ側の普遍的法則を抽出し、直接みることができないミクロ側の性質を暴いた。これらの成果を踏まえて、講演後半部分では、ゆらぎの背後に新しい構造を見出そうとするわたしたちの最近の試みを紹介したい。

A Note on Haplotype Estimation
[ Abstract ]
Haplotype information is important for many analyses but it is not always possible to obtain. This work is motivated to seek haplotype information from diploid population data. We present a new approach to know the haplotype information using classical methods. We do not intend to say that our method is better than the well-known EM based approache for practical purposes, but our way is attractive in some sense.

Composite membrane and the structure of the singular set
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we present our study of the behavior of the singular set
$\\{u=|\\nabla u| =0\\}$ for solutions $u$ to the free boundary problem
$$
\\Delta u = f\\chi_{\\{u\\geq 0\\} } -g\\chi_{\\{u<0\\}},
$$
where $f$ and $g$ are H\\"older continuous functions, $f$ is positive and $f+g$ is negative. Such problems arise in an eigenvalue optimization for composite membranes.
We show that if for a singular point $z$ there are $r_0>0$, and $c_0>0$ such that the density assumption
$|\\{u< 0\\}\\cap B_r(z)|\\geq c_0 r2 \\forall r< r_0$
holds, then $z$ is isolated.

17 世紀西洋実用幾何学の東伝と徐光啓の数学観
─『測量法義』『測量異同』『句股義』を中心として─
[ Abstract ]
『測量法義』『測量異同』『句股義』は、いずれも 1607 年イエズス会士宣教師マテオ・リッチ(漢名:利瑪竇)と徐光啓によって刊行された『幾何原本』に続いて刊行された測量法および句股術に関する実用数学書である。『幾何原本』が演繹論理にもとづく“度数の宗”といわれる理論書であるのに対し、これら三部作は、いずれも実用レベルの応用数学の範疇に属するものである。

(1)『測量法義』は、西洋の測量用の観測機器である象限義(geometric quadrant)による測高・測深・測遠の方法を中心に西洋の測量術を紹介した書物である。
(2)『測量異同』は、呉敬の『九章算法比類大全』から六つの類型の問題を抽出し、その解法を通じて西法と中法の異同を論じる小論である。
(3)『句股義』は、中法と西法の比較を経て、中法の欠点として「ただ解法を知るのみで、その義は知らない(第能言其法、不能言其義也)」ことを取り上げ、選別された 15 問について、その“義”を論じたものである。

今回の報告は、かかる三部作の内容分析を通じて、徐光啓の三部作構想の狙いがどこにあるかを明らかにし、また三部作のもつ意義を考えてみたい。

離散周期戸田方程式の解の超離散化による周期箱玉系の初期値問題の解法
[ Abstract ]
周期境界条件をもつ箱玉系の初期値問題の解は、周期境界条件を持つ離散方程式の解を超離散化することによって得られる。離散方程式の解は、あるリーマン面上のアーベル積分を用いて表現される。このリーマン面の周期行列を直接超離散化することによって、任意の初期状態の箱玉系の基本周期を得ることができる。

Functional estimation of L'evy measure for jump-type processes
[ Abstract ]
Recently, stochastic processes with Poissonian jumps are frequently used in finance and insurance. In their applications, it often becomes important to estimate some functionals of integral types with respect to L'evy measures. In this talk, we propose a nonparametric estimator of their functionals based on both continuous and discrete observations. If time permits, we shall also mention the application to the mathematical insurance, in particular, the estimates of ruin probabilities for genelarized risk processes.

The large time behavior of graphical surfaces in the mean curvature flow
[ Abstract ]
We are interested in the large time behavior of a surface in the whole space moving by the mean curvature flow. Studying the Cauchy problem on $R^{N}$, we deal with moving surfaces represented by entire graphs. We focus on the case of $N=1$ and the case of $N\\geq2$ with radially symmetric surfaces. We show that the solution converges uniformly to the solution of the Cauchy problem of the heat equation, if the initial value is bounded. Our results are based on the decay estimates for the derivatives of the solution. This is a joint work with Prof. Masaharu Taniguchi of Tokyo Institute of Technology.
