Title Some new developments on hyperbolic space forms in dimension 5
Date Mar. 21 (Wed.) 2012, 17:00~18:00
Place Dept. of Mathematics, Sci.Bldg., 3040
Abstract After a short introduction to hyperbolic orbifolds, simple constructions and properties, we consider those with many symmetries and try to rank them by means of their volumes. We discuss known results in dimensions below five and present then new developments for hyperbolic 5-orbifolds by restricting ourselves to the arithmetic, oriented case. This is joint work with Vincent Emery (MPI Bonn).

Title Finite group quotients among symplectic toric Deligne-Mumford stacks
Date Nov. 22 (Tue.) 2011, 17:00~18:00
Place Dept. of Mathematics, Sci.Bldg., 3040
Abstract Let $\Delta$ be a Delzant polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The classical Delzant construction associates to $\Delta$ a compact symplectic manifold equipped with an effective Hamiltonian $T^n$-action, via a symplectic quotient construction. The algebro-geometric analogue of this construction is the Cox construction of toric varieties, where here the combinatorial input is the data of a fan $\Sigma$ and uses a GIT quotient. These spaces which are equipped with large torus actions provide a rich class of examples in many areas of mathematics. More recently, Borisov-Chen-Smith extended the Cox construction in the context of stack quotients, where now the combinatorial input is a so-called stacky fan and the output is the so-called toric Deligne-Mumford (DM) stack. The analogous symplectic-geometric construction uses polytopes equipped with the additional data of a labelling. As with their classical (non-stacky) counterparts, toric DM stacks promise to be a fertile source of examples on which to test general theories associated to stacks. In this talk I will first quickly review these stacky constructions and in particular relate the symplectic and algebro-geometric points of view. Second, I will discuss joint work in progress with Krepski and Goldin-Johannsen-Krepski which is motivated by the stack analogue of the following classical topological question: when is a topological space realizable as a quotient of a smooth manifold by a \emph{finite} group action? In our context, at least in a special case, the answer turns out to be quite concrete, explicit, and elegantly stated in terms of the defining combinatorics.

Title Smooth vs. symplectic actions on complex projective spaces
Date Nov. 17 (Thu.) 2011, 16:30~17:30
Place Dept. of Mathematics, Sci.Bldg., 3040
Abstract The goal of the talk is to present a difference between arbitrary smooth actions of compact Lie groups G on complex projective spaces and these actions which preserve some additional structures on the spaces, such as K\"ahler, symplectic, complex, or almost complex. Our results show that in general the additional structures are not preserved by smooth actions of G on complex projective spaces. If an action of G preserves one of the additional structures above, the fixed point set F is a manifold which admits the given structure. We prove that the specific structure on F may be missing in general. For an appropriate group G, it may even happen that any closed smooth manifold F occurs as the fixed point set of a smooth action of G on some complex projective space.
