Vanishing and Rigidity
[ 講演概要 ]
The aim of my talk is to reveal an unforeseen link between
the classical vanishing theorems of Matsushima and Weil, on the one hand,
andrigidity of the Weyl chamber flow, a dynamical system arising from a higher-rank
noncompact Lie group, on the other. The connection is established via
"transverse extension theorems": Roughly speaking, they claim that a tangential 1- form of the
orbit foliation of the Weyl chamber flow that is tangentially closed
(and satisfies a certain mild additional condition) can be extended to a closed 1- form on the
whole space in a canonical manner. In particular, infinitesimal
rigidity of the orbit foliation of the Weyl chamber flow is proved as an application.

Circle-valued Morse theory for knots and links
[ 講演概要 ]
We will discuss several recent developments in
this theory. In the first part of the talk we prove that the Morse-Novikov number of a knot is less than or equal to twice the tunnel number of the knot, and present consequences of this result. In the second part we report on our joint project with Hiroshi Goda on the half-transversal Morse-Novikov theory for 3-manifolds.

The second rational homology group of the moduli space of curves

[ 講演概要 ]
Let $\\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of the mapping class
group of a closed genus $g$ surface that contains the Torelli group. For
instance, $\\Gamma$ can be the level $L$ subgroup or the spin mapping class
group. We show that $H_2(\\Gamma;\\Q) \\cong \\Q$ for $g \\geq 5$. A corollary
of this is that the rational Picard groups of the associated finite covers
of the moduli space of curves are equal to $\\Q$. We also prove analogous
results for surface with punctures and boundary components.

Lefschetz SL(2)-action and cohomology of Kaehler manifolds

Let M be compact Kaehler manifold. It is well
known that any Kaehler form generates a Lefschetz SL(2)-triple
acting on cohomology of M. This action can be used to compute
cohomology of M. If M is a hyperkaehler manifold, of real
dimension 4n, then the subalgebra of its cohomology generated by
the second cohomology is isomorphic to a polynomial algebra,
up to the middle degree.

Nonsmoothable group actions on spin 4-manifolds

We call a locally linear group action on a topological manifold nonsmoothable
if the action is not smooth with respect to any possible smooth structure.
We show in this lecture that every closed, simply connected, spin topological 4-manifold
not homeomorphic to neither S^2\\times S^2 nor S^4 allows a nonsmoothable
group action of any cyclic group with sufficiently large prime order
which depends on the manifold.

On embeddings of 3-manifolds in 6-manifolds
[ 講演概要 ]
In this talk, we give a simple axiomatic definition of an invariant of
smooth embeddings of 3-manifolds in 6-manifolds.
The axiom is expressed in terms of some cobordisms of pairs of manifolds of
dimensions 6 and 3 (equipped with some cohomology class of the complement) and
the signature of 4-manifolds.
We then show that our invariant gives a unified framework for some classical
invariants in low-dimensions (Haefliger invariant, Milnor's triple
linking number, Rokhlin invariant, Casson invariant,
Takase's invariant, Skopenkov's invariants).

Pontrjagin-Thom maps and the Deligne-Mumford compactification
[ 講演概要 ]
An embedding f: M -> N produces, via a construction of Pontrjagin-Thom, a map from N to the Thom space of the normal bundle over M. If f is an arbitrary map then one instead gets a map from N to the infinite loop space of the Thom spectrum of the normal bundle of f. We extend this Pontrjagin-Thom construction of wrong-way maps to differentiable stacks and use it to produce interesting maps from the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of curves to certain infinite loop spaces. We show that these maps are surjective on mod p homology in a range of degrees. We thus produce large new families of torsion cohomology classes on the Deligne-Mumford compactification.

One-step Markov Theorem on exchange classes
[ 講演概要 ]
The main theorem in this talk claims the following.
``Let L_A and L_B denote a closed a-braid and a closed b-braid,
respectively, that represent one link type.
After at most (a^2 b^2)/4 exchange moves on L_A,
we can 'see' the pair of closed braids."
In this talk, we explain the main theorem in details, and
we present some applications.
In particular, we propose a strategy to construct an algorithm
that determines whether two links are ambient isotopic.

Contact homology of left-handed stabilizations and connected sums
[ 講演概要 ]
In this talk, we will give a brief introduction to contact homology, an invariant of contact manifolds defined by counting holomorphic curves in the symplectization of a contact manifold. We shall show that certain left-handed stabilizations of contact open books have vanishing contact homology.
This is done by finding restrictions on the behavior of holomorphic curves in connected sums. An additional application of this behavior of holomorphic curves is a long exact sequence for linearized contact homology.

On computing distances in the pants complex
[ 講演概要 ]
The pants complex is an accurate combinatorial
model for the Weil-Petersson metric (WP) on Teichmueller space
(Brock). One hopes that many of the geometric properties
of WP are accurately replicated in the pants complex, and
this is the source of many open questions. We compare these
in general, and then focus on the 5-holed sphere and the
2-holed torus, the first non-trivial surfaces. We arrive at
an algorithm for computing distances in the (1-skeleton of the)
pants complex of either surface.

Multiplier ideal sheaves and Futaki invariant on toric Fano manifolds.
[ 講演概要 ]
I would like to discuss the subvarieties cut off by the multiplier
ideal sheaves (MIS) and Futaki invariant on toric Fano manifolds.
Futaki invariant is one of the necessary conditions for the existence
of Kahler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds,
on the other hand MIS is one of the sufficient conditions introduced by Nadel.
Especially I would like to focus on the MIS related to the Monge-Ampere equation
for Kahler-Einstein metrics on non-KE toric Fano manifolds.
The motivation of this work comes from the investigation of the
relationship with slope stability
of polarized manifolds introduced by Ross and Thomas.
This talk will be based on a part of the joint work with Akito Futaki
(arXiv:0711.0614).

On the geometry of certain slices of the character variety of a knot group
[ 講演概要 ]
joint work with Fumikazu Nagasato (Meijo University)
This talk is concerned with certain subsets in the character variety of a knot group.
These subsets are called '"slices", which are defined as a level set of a regular function associated to a meridian of a knot.
They are related to character varieties for branched covers along the knot.
Some investigations indicate that an equivariant theory for a knot is connected to a theory for branched covers via slices, for example, the equivariant signature of a knot and the equivariant Casson invariant.
In this talk, we will construct a map from slices into the character varieties for branched covers and investigate the properties.
In particular, we focus on slices called "trace-free", which are used to define the Casson-Lin invariant, and the relation to the character variety for two--fold branched cover.

Turaev-Viro TQFT splitting.
[ 講演概要 ]
The Turaev-Viro invariant is a 3-manifolds invariant. It is obtained in this way :
1) we use a combinatorial description of 3-manifolds, in this case it is : triangulation / Pachner moves
2) we define a scalar thanks to a categorical data (spherical category) and a topological data (triangulation)
3)we verify that the scalar is invariant under Pachner moves, then we obtain a 3-manifolds invariant.
The Turaev-Viro invariant can also be extended to a TQFT. Roughly speaking a TQFT is a data which assigns a finite dimensional vector space to every closed surface and a linear application to every 3-manifold with boundary.
In this talk, we will give a decomposition of the Turaev-Viro TQFT. More precisely, we decompose it into blocks. These blocks are given by a group associated to the spherical category which was used to construct the Turaev-Viro invariant. We will show that these blocks define a HQFT (roughly speaking a TQFT with an "homotopical data"). This HQFT is obtained from an homotopical invariant, which is the homotopical version of the Turaev-Viro invariant. Moreover this invariant can be used to obtain the homological Turaev-Viro invariant defined by Yetter.

Legendrian submanifolds of contact 3-manifolds are
one-dimensional, just like knots. This ``coincidence'' gives rise to an
interesting and expanding intersection of contact and symplectic geometry
on the one hand and classical knot theory on the other. As an
illustration, we will survey recent results on maximizing the
Thurston--Bennequin number (which is a measure of the twisting of the
contact structure along a Legendrian) within a smooth knot type. In
particular, we will show how Kauffman's state circles can be used to solve
the maximization problem for so-called +adequate (among them, alternating
and positive) knots and links.

We consider pencils of hypersurfaces of degree $d>1$ in the complex
$n$-dimensional projective space subject to the condition that the
generic fiber is irreducible. We study the set of completely reducible
fibers, i.e., the unions of hyperplanes. The first surprinsing result is
that the cardinality of thie set has very strict uniformed upper bound

of this set in terms of either topology of its complement or combinatorics
of hyperplanes. We also include into consideration more general special
fibers are iimportant for characteristic varieties of the hyperplane
complements.

a three manifold invariant which relates to the volume of the manifold actually.

of the semi-resetricted and restricted quantum groups of sl(2) respectively,
and they are related to the hyperbolic volumes of the cone manifolds along
the knot. I also would like to explain an attempt to generalize these invariants to
a three manifold invariant which relates to the volume of the manifold actually.

A Diagrammatic Construction of Third Homology Classes of Knot Quandles
[ 講演概要 ]
There exists a family of third (quandle / rack) homology classes,
called the shadow (fundamental / diagram) classes,
of the knot quandle, which are obtained from
the shadow colourings of knot diagrams.
We will show the construction of these homology classes,
and also show their relation to the shadow quandle cocycle
invariants of knots and that to other third homology classes.

Groupoid lifts of representations of mapping classes
[ 講演概要 ]
The "Ptolemy groupoid" is the fundamental path groupoid of the dual to the ideal cell decomposition of the decorated Teichmueller space of a punctured or bordered surface, and the "Torelli groupoid" is thesimilar discretization of the fundamental path groupoid of the quotient
by the Torelli subgroup of mapping classes that acts identically on the first integral homology of the surface. Mapping classes can be represented as appropriate elements of the Ptolemy groupoid and likewise for elements of the Torelli group in the Torelli groupoid.
A natural series of questions is to wonder which representations of mapping class groups, Torelli groups, and their subgroups can be lifted to the groupoid level. In a series of joint works with J. Andersen, A. Bene, N. Kawazumi, and S. Morita, we have given explicit lifts of a number of classical representations: The Johnson representations of the classical and higher Torelli groups
and the symplectic representation of the mapping class group all lift to the Torelli groupoid. Furthermore, the Nielsen representation of the mapping class group as automorphisms of a
free group lifts to the Ptolemy groupoid, and hence so too does any representation
of the mapping class group that factors through its action on the fundamental group of
the surface such as the Magnus representation. We shall survey these various groupoid lifts and discuss current and potential future applications.

A Singular Version of The Poincar\\'e-Hopf Theorem
[ 講演概要 ]
The Poincar\\'e-Hopf Theorem asserts that the Euler Characteristic of a compact manifold is the sum of the indices of any vector field on it with isolated singularities.
A hypersurface in real or complex number space may be considered as the limit of the smooth hypersurfaces obtained from nearby regular values. The singularity contains “hidden” topology, which is unfolded by a smooth regeneration. At the singularity one has an algebraic invariant, the Jacobi Algebra, which is obtained by considering analytic functions modulo the partial derivatives. It contains topological information of the singularity.
One may consider vector fields tangent to a hypersurface with isolated singularities, and define topologically an index, which coincides with the sum of the Poincar\\'e-Hopf indices of a regeneration of it tangent to a nearby smooth hypersurface.
I will explain how to compute the index of a vector field X tangent to an isolated hypersurface singularity V using Homological Algebra, as the Euler Characteristic of the homology of the complex obtained by contracting differential forms on V with the vector field X. The formula contains several terms, but the higher order terms may be translated from the invariants of the singular point to invariants in the Jacobi Algebra, making this translation a local version of the Poincar\\'e-Hopf Theorem.
I will also explain how some of these ideas can be extended to complete intersections.

Chen Ruan cohomology of cotangent orbifolds and Chas-Sullivan string topology
[ 講演概要 ]
(Joint with: A. Gonzalez, E. Lupercio, C. Segovia, and B. Uribe)
At the end of 90's, two theories of topology were invented roughly at the same time and attracted considerable interest in the mathematical community. One is the Chas-Sullivan's loop product on the homology of loop space and the second one is Chen-Ruan's stringy cohomology of orbifold. It was an observation of Chen that inertia orbifold (which carries Chen-Ruan cohomology) is the space of constant loops of an orbifold. Therefore, two theories should interact. In this work we show that for an interesting family of orbifolds, the virtual orbifold cohomology, turns out to be a subalgebra of the homology of the loop orbifold, and is isomorphic, as algebras, to the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of its cotangent orbifold.

Morse theory for abelian hyperkahler quotients
[ 講演概要 ]
In 1980's Kirwan computed Betti numbers of symplectic quotients by using Morse theory. In this talk, we develop this method to hyperkahler quotients by abelian Lie groups. In this method, many computations are much more simplified in the case of hyperkahler quotients than the case of symplectic quotients. As a result we compute not only the Betti numbers, but also the cohomology rings of abelian hyperkahler quotients.

[joint work with Masahide Iwakiri (Osaka City University)]
A handlebody-link is a disjoint union of circles and a
finite trivalent graph embedded in a closed 3-manifold.
We consider it up to isotopies and IH-moves.
Then it represents an ambient isotopy class of
handlebodies embedded in the closed 3-manifold.
In this talk, I explain how a quandle cocycle invariant
is defined for handlebody-links.

A certain slice of the character variety of a knot group
and the knot contact homology
[ 講演概要 ]
For a knot $K$ in 3-sphere, we can consider representations of
the knot group $G_K$ into $SL(2,\\mathbb{C})$.
Their characters construct an algebraic set.
This is so-called the $SL(2,\\mathbb{C})$-character variety of
$G_K$ and denoted by $X(G_K)$.
In this talk, we introduce a slice (a subset) $S_0(K)$ of $X(G_K)$.
In fact, this slice is closely related to the A-polynomial
and the abelian knot contact homology.
For example, the A-polynomial $A_K(m,l)$ of a knot $K$ is
a two-variable polynomial knot invariant defined by using
the character variety $X(G_K)$.
Then we can show that for any {\\it small knot} $K$, the number of
irreducible components of $S_0(K)$ gives an upper bound of
the maximal degree of the A-polynomial $A_K(m,l)$ in terms of
the variable $l$.
Moreover, for any 2-bridge knot $K$, we can show that
the coordinate ring of $S_0(K)$ is exactly the degree 0
abelian knot contact homology $HC_0^{ab}(K)$.
We will mainly explain these facts.
