Slopes and concordance of links (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We define the slope of a link associated to admissible characters on the link group. Away from a certain singular locus, the slope is a rational function which can be regarded as a multivariate generalization of the Kojima-Yamasaki η-function. It is the ratio of two Conway potentials, provided that the latter makes sense; otherwise, it is a new invariant. We present several examples and discuss the invariance by concordance. Joint with A. Degtyarev and A. Lecuona.

Genki Hosono (University of Tokyo)
Variational theories of complex analysis of several variables (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In complex analysis, there are some values and functions which are subharmonic under pseudoconvex variations.
For example, the variation of Robin constant (Yamaguchi) and of Bergman kernels (Maitani-Yamaguchi) were studied.
As a generalization, the curvature positivity of spaces of $L^2$ holomorphic functions is proved by Berndtsson.
These theories are known to have some relations with $L^2$ extension theorems.
In this talk, I will explain known results and discuss the variation problem of the Azukawa pseudometric, which is a generalization of the Robin constant.

Ali Baklouti (Faculté des Sciences de Sfax)
Monomial representations of discrete type and differential operators. (English)
[ Abstract ]
Let $G$ be an exponential solvable Lie group and $\tau$ a monomial representation of $G$, an induced representation from a connected closed subgroup of $G$ of a unitary character. It is well known that $\tau$ disintegrates into irreducible factors and the multiplicities of each isotypic component are explicitly determined. In the case where $G$ is nilpotent, these multiplicities are either finite or infinite almost everywhere, with respect to the disintegration's measure. We associate to $\tau$ an algebra of differential operators and it is shown that in the nilpotent case, the commutativity of this algebra is equivalent to the finiteness of the multiplicities of $\tau$. In the exponential case, we define the notion of monomial representation of discrete type. In this case, we show that such an equivalence does not hold and this answers a question posed by M. Duflo. This is a joint work with H. Fujiwara and J. Ludwig.

Colloquium

15:30-16:30   Room #002 (Graduate School of Math. Sci. Bldg.)
Hiroyoshi Mitake (The University of Tokyo)
The theory of viscosity solutions and Aubry-Mather theory
(日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we give two topics of my recent results.

(i) Asymptotic analysis based on the nonlinear adjoint method: Wepresent two results on the large-time behavior for the Cauchy problem, and the vanishing discount problem for degenerate Hamilton-Jacobiequations.
(ii) Rate of convergence in homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations: The convergence appearing in the homogenization was proved in a famous unpublished paper by Lions, Papanicolaou, Varadhan (1987). In this talk, we present some recent progress in obtaining the optimal rate of convergence $O(¥epsilon)$ in periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Our method is completely different from previous pure PDE approaches which only provides $O(¥epsilon^{1/3})$. We have discovered a natural connection between the convergence rate and the underlying Hamiltonian system.

Nobuo Hara (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology)
Frobenius summands and the finite F-representation type (TBA)
[ Abstract ]
We are motivated by a question arising from commutative algebra, asking what kind of
graded rings in positive characteristic p have finite F-representation type. In geometric
setting, this is related to the problem to looking out for Frobenius summands. Namely,
given aline bundle L on a projective variety X, we want to know how many and what
kind of indecomposable direct summands appear in the direct sum decomposition of
the iterated Frobenius push-forwards of L. We will consider the problem in the following
two cases, although the present situation in (2) is far from satisfactory.
 (1) two-dimensional normal graded rings (a joint work with Ryo Ohkawa)
 (2) the anti-canonical ring of a quintic del Pezzo surface

Fixed points for group actions on non-positively curved spaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we introduce a fixed point property of groups which is a broad generalization of Serre's property FA, and give a criterion for groups to have such a property. We also apply the criterion to show that various generalizations of Thompson's group T have fixed points whenever they act on finite dimensional non-positively curved metric spaces, including CAT(0) spaces. Since Thompson's group T is known to have fixed point free actions on infinite dimensional CAT(0) spaces, it follows that there is a group which acts on infinite dimensional CAT(0) spaces without global fixed points, but not on finite dimensional ones.

Poncelet games, confinement of algebraic integers, and hyperbolic Ax-Schanuel (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We shall theorize and exemplify the problem of torsion values of sections of abelian schemes. This « unlikely intersection problem », which arises in various diophantine and algebro-geometric contexts, can be reformulated in a non-trivial way in terms of Kodaira-Spencer maps. A key tool toward its general solution is then provided by recent theorems of Ax-Schanuel type (joint work with P. Corvaja, U. Zannier, and partly Z. Gao).

Artin-Mazur height, Yobuko height and
Hodge-Wittt cohomologies

[ Abstract ]
A few years ago Yobuko has introduced the notion of
a delicate invariant for a proper smooth scheme over a perfect field $k$
of finite characteristic. (We call this invariant Yobuko height.)
This generalize the notion of the F-splitness due to Mehta-Srinivas.

In this talk we give relations between Artin-Mazur heights
and Yobuko heights. We also give a finiteness result on
Hodge-Witt cohomologies of a proper smooth scheme $X$ over $k$
with finite Yobuko height. If time permits, we give a cofinite type result on
the $p$-primary torsion part of Chow group of of $X$
of codimension 2 if $\dim X=3$.

Torelli group, Johnson kernel and invariants of homology 3-spheres (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
There are two filtrations of the Torelli group: One is the lower central series and the other is the Johnson filtration. They are closely related to Johnson homomorphisms as well as finite type invariants of homology 3-spheres. We compare the associated graded Lie algebras of the filtrations and report our explicit computational results. Then we discuss some applications of our computations. In particular, we give an explicit description of the rational abelianization of the Johnson kernel. This is a joint work with Shigeyuki Morita and Masaaki Suzuki.

Fabio Toninelli (University Lyon 1)
Two-dimensional stochastic interface growth (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
I will discuss stochastic growth of two-dimensional, discrete interfaces, especially models in the so-called Anisotropic KPZ (AKPZ) class, that has the same large-scale behavior as the Stochastic Heat equation with additive noise. I will focus in particular on: 1) the relation between AKPZ exponents, convexity properties of the speed of growth and the preservation of the Gibbs property; and 2) the relation between singularities of the speed of growth and the occurrence of "smooth" (i.e. non-rough) stationary states.

Seminar on Geometric Complex Analysis

Gerard Freixas i Montplet (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)
BCOV invariants of Calabi-Yau varieties (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The BCOV invariant of Calabi-Yau threefolds was introduced by Fang-Lu-Yoshikawa, themselves inspired by physicists Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa. It is a real number, obtained from a combination of holomorphic analytic torsion, and suitably normalized so that it only depends on the complex structure of the threefold. It is conjecturaly expected to encode genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants of a mirror Calabi-Yau threefold. In order to confirm this prediction for a remarkable example, Fang-Lu-Yoshikawa studied the asymptotic behavior for degenerating families of Calabi-Yau threefolds acquiring at most ordinary double point (ODP) singularities. Their methods rely on former results by Yoshikawa on the singularities of Quillen metrics, together with more classical arguments in the theory of degenerations of Hodge structures and Hodge metrics. In this talk I will present joint work with Dennis Eriksson (Chalmers) and Christophe Mourougane (Rennes), where we extend the construction of the BCOV invariant to any dimension and we give precise asymptotic formulas for degenerating families of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Under several hypothesis on the geometry of the singularities acquired, our general formulas drastically simplify and prove some conjectures or predictions in the literature (Liu-Xia for semi-stable minimal families in dimension 3, Klemm-Pandharipande for ODP singularities in dimension 4, etc.). For this, we slightly improve Yoshikawa's results on the singularities of Quillen metrics, and we also provide a complement to Schmid's asymptotics of Hodge metrics when the monodromy transformations are non-unipotent.

Integrability for four-dimensional recurrence relations
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we study some fourth-order recurrence relations (or mappings). These recurrence relations were obtained by assuming that they possess two polynomial integrals with certain degree patterns.
For mappings with cubic growth, we will reduce them to three-dimensional ones using a procedure called deflation. These three-dimensional maps have two integrals; therefore, they are integrable in the sense of Liouville-Arnold. Furthermore, we can reduce the obtained three-dimensional maps to two-dimensional maps of Quispel-Roberts-Thompsons (QRT) type. On the other hand, for recurrences with quadratic growth and two integrals, we will show that they are integrable in the sense of Liouville-Arnold by providing their Poisson brackets. Non-degenerate Poisson brackets can be found by using the existence of discrete Lagrangians and a discrete analogue of the Ostrogradsky transformation.
This is joint work with G. Gubbiotti, N. Joshi, and C-M. Viallet.

Inhomogeneous Dirichlet-boundary value problem for one dimensional nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
We consider the inhomogeneous Dirichlet-boundary value problem for the cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations on the half line. We present sufficient conditions of initial and boundary data which ensure asymptotic behavior of small solutions to equations by using the classical energy method and factorization techniques.

A motivic construction of ramification filtrations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We give a new interpretation of Artin conductors of characters in the framework of theory of motives with modulus. It gives a unified way to understand Artin conductors of characters and irregularities of line bundle with integrable connections as well as overconvergent F-isocrystals of rank 1. It also gives rise to new conductors, for example, for G-torsors with G a finite flat group scheme, which specializes to the classical Artin conductor in case G = Z/nZ. We also give a motivic proof of a theorem of Kato and Matsuda on the determination of Artin conductors along divisors on smooth schemes by its restrictions to curves. Its proof is based on a motivic version of a theorem of Gabber-Katz. This is a joint work with Kay Rülling.

Boundedness of varieties of Fano type with alpha-invariants and volumes bounded below (English)
[ Abstract ]
We show that fixed dimensional klt weak Fano pairs with alpha-invariants and volumes bounded away from 0 and the coefficients of the boundaries belong to the set of hyperstandard multiplicities Φ(R) associated to a fixed finite set R form a bounded family. We also show α(X, B)d−1vol(−(KX + B)) are bounded from above for all klt weak Fano pairs (X, B) of a fixed dimension d.
