Higher order families of lines and Fano manifolds covered by linear
spaces
(Japanese (writing in English))
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, for an embedded Fano manifold $X$, we introduce higher
order families of lines and a new invariant $S_X$. They are line
versions of higher order minimal families of rational curves and the
invariant $N_X$ which were introduced in my previous talk on 4th
November 2016. In addition, $S_X$ is related to the dimension of
covering linear spaces. Our goal is to classify Fano manifolds $X$ which
have large $S_X$.

Langlands-Rapoport for the Modular Curve

[ Abstract ]
We discuss a concrete version of the Langlands-Rapoport conjecture in the case of the modular curve, and use this case to illuminate some of the more abstract features of the Langlands-Rapoport conjecture for general (abelian type) Shimura varieties.

Proper holomorphic mappings and generalized pseudoellipsoids (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We study the classification of proper holomorphic mappings between generalized pseudoellipsoids of different dimensions.

Huang proved some classification theorems of proper holomorphic mappings between balls of different dimensions, which are called gap theorems. Our present theorems are their weakly pseudoconvex versions.

In the theorem, classified mapping is so-called a variables splitting mapping and each component is derived from a homogeneous proper polynomial mapping between balls.

The essential methods are the ''good'' decompositions of CR vector bundle and reduction the mapping under consideration to the mapping of balls. By this reduction, we can apply Huang's gap theorem.

Introduction to the Langlands-Rapoport conjecture (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In 1970s Langlands envisioned a program to compute the Hasse-Weil zeta functions of Shimura varieties as an alternating product of automorphic L-functions, which in particular implies the meromorphic continuation and functional equation for the zeta functions. In 1987, Langlands and Rapoport formulated a precise and far-reaching conjecture describing the set of points of Shimura varieties modulo p as an essential step towards the goal. The program has been largely carried out by Langlands, Kottwitz, and others for PEL-type Shimura varieties with striking applications to the local and global Langlands correspondences (which in turn led to further applications). We have started to understand the more general Hodge-type and abelian-type cases only recently, thanks to Kisin's work on the Langlands-Rapoport conjecture in the good reduction case. The lecture aims to give a gentle introduction to his seminal paper. After a brief introduction, the lecture is divided into four parts.
(i) Shimura varieties: We introduce Shimura varieties of Hodge type and abelian type and their integral models.
(ii) Statement of the conjecture: After setting up the language of
Galois gerbs, we state the Langlands-Rapoport conjecture.
(iii) Sketch of Kisin's proof: We sketch Kisin's proof of the conjecture for Shimura varieties of Hodge type.
(iv) Counting fixed points: Following forthcoming work of Kisin, Y. Zhu, and the speaker, we explain how to apply the Langlands-Rapoport conjecture to count fixed-points of
Hecke-Frobenius correspondences.

BIRATIONAL BOUNDEDNESS OF RATIONALLY CONNECTED CALABI–YAU 3-FOLDS
(English)
[ Abstract ]
Firstly, we show that rationally connected Calabi–Yau 3- folds with kawamata log terminal (klt) singularities form a birationally bounded family, or more generally, rationally connected 3-folds of ε-CY type form a birationally bounded family for ε > 0. Then we focus on ε-lc log Calabi–Yau pairs (X, B) such that coefficients of B are bounded from below away from zero. We show that such pairs are log bounded modulo flops. As a consequence, we show that rationally connected klt Calabi–Yau 3-folds with mld bounding away from 1 are bounded modulo flops.

Singular Fibers of smooth maps and Cobordism groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Following the pioneering work of R.Thom, cobordism groups of smooth maps have been studied by some mathematicians. Especially, cobordism groups of Morse functions on closed manifolds was studied by O.Saeki and K.Ikegami, B.Kalmar. In this talk, we will introduce cobordism groups among Morse functions on compact manifolds with boundary and study the cobordism groups are trivial or not by using the theory of the universal complex of singular fibers of smooth maps.

Yûsuke Okuyama (Kyoto Institute of Technology)
Degeneration and bifurcation of quadratic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^2$ towards a Hénon map (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The space of quadratic holomorphic endomorphisms of P^2 (over C) is
canonically identified with the complement of the zero locus of the
resultant form on P^{17}, and all H¥'enon maps, which are (the only)
interesting ones among all the quadratic polynomial automorphisms of C^2,
live in this zero locus.

We will talk about our joint work with Fabrizio Bianchi (Imperial College,
London) on the (algebraic) degeneration of quadratic endomorphisms of C^2
towards H¥'enon maps in terms of Berteloot-Bianchi-Dupont's
bifurcation/unstability theory of holomorphic families of endomorphisms of P^k,
which mostly generalizes Ma¥~n¥'e-Sad-Sullivan, Lyubich, and DeMarco's seminal
and similar theory on P^1.

Some preliminary knowledge on ergodic theory and pluripotential theory
would be desirable, but not be assumed.

Fargues' conjecture in the GL_2-case (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Recently Fargues announced a conjecture which attempts to geometrize the (classical) local Langlands correspondence. Just as in the geometric Langlands story, there is a stack of G-bundles and a Hecke stack which one can define. The conjecture is based on some conjectural objects, however for a cuspidal Langlands parameter and a minuscule cocharacter, we can define every object in the conjecture, assuming only the local Langlands correspondence. We study the geometry of the non-semi-stable locus in the Hecke stack and as an application we will show the Hecke eigensheaf property of Fargues conjecture holds in the GL_2-case and a cuspidal Langlands parameter. This is joint work with Naoki Imai.

Global existence of a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations in a curved thin domain (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we consider the Navier-Stokes equations with Navier's slip boundary conditions in a three-dimensional curved thin domain around a closed surface.
We establish the global-in-time existence of a strong solution for large data when the width of the thin domain is very small.
A key idea is to decompose a three-dimensional vector field into the average part which is almost two-dimensional and the residual part to which we can apply Poincaré type inequalities.
Such decomposition enables us to derive a good estimate for the inner product of the inertia term and the viscous term, which is essential for our arguments.

SNC log symplectic structures on Fano products (English/Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In 2014, Lima and Pereira gave a characterization of the even-dimensional projective space in terms of log symplectic Poisson structures. After that Pym gave an another more algebraic proof. In this talk, we will extend the result of Lima and Pereira to the case that the variety is a product of Fano varieties with the cyclic Picard group. This will be proved by extending Pym's proof. As a corollary, we will obtain a characterization of the projective space of all dimensions.

Tight contact structures on Seifert surface complements and knot invariants (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In joint work with Daniel Mathews, we examined complements of standard Seifert surfaces of special alternating links and used Honda's method to enumerate those tight contact structures on them whose dividing sets are isotopic to the link. The number turns out to be the leading coefficient of the Alexander polynomial. The proof is rather combinatorial in nature; for example, the Euler classes of the contact structures are identified with `hypertrees' in a certain hypergraph. Using earlier results with Hitoshi Murakami and Alexander Postnikov, this yields a connection between contact topology and the Homfly polynomial. We also found that the contact invariants of our structures form a basis for the sutured Floer homology of the manifold.

Metrics on a closed surface which maximize the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will focus on recent progress on metrics that maximize the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian (under area normalization) on a closed surface. First, I introduce Hersch-Yang-Yau's inequality (1970, 1980), which was the starting point of the above problem. This is an inequality indicating that the first eigenvalue (precisely, the product of it with the area) is bounded from above by a constant depending only on the genus of the surface. Then I will outline the recent progress on the existence problem for maximizing metrics together with the relation with minimal surfaces in the sphere. Finally, I will discuss Jacobson-Levitin-Nadirashvili-Nigam-Polterovich's conjecture, which explicitly predicts maximizing metrics in the case of genus two, and the affirmative resolution of it (joint work with Toshihiro Shoda).

On the Morse-Novikov number for 2-knots (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Pajitnov, Rudolph and Weber defined the Morse-Novikov number for classical links and studied their undamental properties in 2001. This invariant has been investigated in relation to (twisted) Alexander polynomials and the (twisted) Novikov homology. In this talk, we define the Morse-Novikov number for 2-knots and show its several properties. In particular, we describe its relations to motion pictures and spin constructions for 2-knots. This talk is based on joint works with Andrei Pajitnov (Nantes University).

Luca Rizzi (Udine)
Adjoint forms on algebraic varieties (English)
[ Abstract ]
The so called adjoint theory was introduced by A. Collino and G.P. Pirola in the case of smooth algebraic curves and then generalized by G.P. Pirola and F. Zucconi in the case of smooth algebraic varieties of arbitrary dimension.
The main idea of this theory is to study particular differential forms, called adjoint forms, on an algebraic variety to obtain information on the infinitesimal deformations of the variety itself.
The natural context for the application of this theory is given by Torelli-type problems, in particular infinitesimal Torelli problems.

Commuting nilpotents, punctual Hilbert schemes and jet bundles (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Pairs of commuting nilpotent matrices have been extensively studied, especially from the view point of quivers, but the space of commuting nilpotents modulo simultaneous conjugation has not received any attention at all despite its moduli theory flavor. I will explain how a 'moduli space' can be constructed via two different methods and demonstrate many interesting properties of the space:

- It is isomorphic to an open subscheme of a punctual Hilbert scheme.
- Over the field of complex numbers, it is diffeomorphic to a direct sum of twisted tangent bundles over a projective space.
- It is isomorphic to a bundle of regular jets.
- It gives examples of affine space bundles that are not vector bundles.

This is a joint work with W. Haboush (Illinois) and G. Bérczi (Zurich).
