Several complex variables on a neighborhood of a complex submanifold and its application to complex geometry |
| Date |
February 7 (Wed.) 2018, 16:30～17:30 |
| Place |
Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
We discuss the theory of functions of several complex variables on a neighborhood of a complex submanifold, especially when the normal bundle is flat in some sense.
We apply such theories to complex geometry related to such problems as the existence problems of smooth Hermitian metrics with semi-positive curvature on nef line bundles,
embeddability problems of Levi-flat manifolds, and some problems on K3 surfaces. |

Moving away from final exams and towards team projects in an undergraduate math class |
| Date |

Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
The author will share his personal experience of replacing a final exam as the main mode of assessment with a team project. This was done over 3 years of him teaching an ordinary
differential equations class. It will be shown
1) how to prevent plagiarism by the task design rather than by subsequent processing through anti-plagiarism software,
2) how to measure individual contributions of students into team's work and reward those who work harder with higher grades.
An interesting finding is that project scores are very poorly correlated with exam scores. |

The cohomology of abelian Hessenberg varieties and the
Stanley-Stembridge conjecture |
| Date |
November 29 (Wed.) 2017, 15:15～16:15 |
| Place |
Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
The topic of this talk touches upon a variety of research areas
including combinatorics, Lie theory, geometry, and representation
theory, and I will attempt to make the talk accessible to a
correspondingly wide audience, including graduate students.
The famous Stanley-Stembridge conjecture in combinatorics states that
the chromatic symmetric function of the incomparability graph of a
so-called (3+1)-free poset is e-positive. In this talk, we will
briefly describe this conjecture, and then we will explain how
recent work of Shareshian-Wachs, Brosnan-Chow, among others, makes a
rather surprising connection between this conjecture and the
geometry and topology of Hessenberg varieties, together with a
certain symmetric-group representation on the cohomology of
Hessenberg varieties. In particular, it turns out (a graded version
of) the Stanley-Stembridge conjecture would follow if it can be
proven that the cohomology of regular semisimple Hessenberg
varieties (in Lie type A) are permutation representations of a
certain form. I will then describe joint work with Martha Precup
which proves this statement for the special case of abelian
Hessenberg varieties, the definition of which is inspired by the
theory of abelian ideals in a Lie algebra, as developed by Kostant
and Peterson. Our proof relies on the incomparability graph of a
Hessenberg function and previous combinatorial results of Stanley,
Gasharov, and Shareshian-Wachs, as well as previous results on the
geometry and combinatorics of Hessenberg varieties of Martha Precup. |

Discrete zero mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean and Minkowski spaces |
| Date |
November 8 (Wed.) 2017, 16:30〜17:30 |
| Place |
Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
The research field "Discrete Differential Geometry" has been growing rapidly
ever since previously hidden geometric aspects of integrable systems were
discovered. In particular, discrete versions of differential geometric objects
have been investigated from various viewpoints (differential geometry,
integrable systems, discrete geometry, complex analysis and so on).
In this talk we will introduce three kinds of discrete zero mean curvature surfaces
in Euclidean and Minkowski 3-spaces. The first type in the Euclidean 3-space was
described by Bobenko and Pinkall, which are called discrete minimal surfaces.
The other two types in Minkowski 3-space are introduced by the speaker
Yasumoto, which we call discrete maximal surfaces and discrete timelike minimal
surfaces. These classes initially look similar, but their global behaviors are quite
different. Through their comparisons, we will briefly introduce our analysis on
such discrete surfaces. |

Method of Besov spaces and the Navier-Stokes equations |
| Date |
October 25 (Wed.) 2017, 16:30〜17:30 |
| Place |
Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
We first introduce several basic notions of the Basov spaces such as paraproduct formula and the chain rule.
The bilinear estimates related to the nonlinear structure on the Navier-Stokes equations and the
$L^p-L^q$-type estimates of the Stokes semigroup are established.
Then the problem on existence, uniqueness and regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations is discussed
in the scaling invariant homogeneous Besov space.
This is based on the joint work with Prof. Senjo Shimizu at Kyoto University.

Homological structures of representations |
| Date |

| Place |
Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
A linear action of a group (or a Lie algebra) is called a representation.
To study representations, we have two steps: first we classify
irreducible representations which are building blocks of representations
and next we consider how a given representation is built up. For
answering the second question, sometimes "grading" structure is useful.
I will explain this mechanism and give examples.

On the exsitence problems for Kähler-Ricci solitons on certain toric bundles |

Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
On the certain toric bundles, fiber spaces over Einstein-Kähler
Fano manifolds whose fibers are toric Fano manifolds satisfying some
conditions, we consider the existence problems for Einstein-Kähler
metrics and Kähler-Ricci solitons, and propose some conjectures.
We shall explain some examples on which these conjectures holds.

Infinitely many knots with the trivial $(2,1)$-cable $\Gamma$-polynomial |
| Date |
June 28 (Wed.) 2017, 16:30〜17:30 |
| Place |
Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
It is known that there exist many polynomial invariants for knots. For
example, Alexander-Conway, Jones, $\Gamma$, $Q$, HOMFLYPT, Kauffman polynomials
are well known. These polynomials of the trivial knot are one. The problem
is whether there exists a non-trivial knot such that these polynomials
are one. It is known that there exists such a knot for the Alexander-Conway,
$\Gamma$, $Q$ polynomials. However, it is still an open problem for the
other polynomial invariants. Moreover, we consider the $(p,1)$-cable versions
of these polynomial invariants for an integer $p(\geq 2)$. These $(p,1)$-cable
versions of the trivial knot are one. The problem is whether there exists
a non-trivial knot such that these $(p,1)$-cable versions are one. It is
known that there exists such a knot for the Alexander-Conway polynomial.
However, it is still an open problem for the other polynomial invariants.
In this talk, we show that there exist infinitely many knots such that
the $(2,1)$-cable version of the $\Gamma$-polynomial for the knots is one.

Analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations in a space of bounded functions |
| Date |
April 19 (Wed.) 2017, 16:30〜17:30 |
| Place |
Dept. of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Bldg., E408 |
| Abstract |
The initial-boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equations
has been studied in a large literature in spaces of integrable functions,
while few results are known in a space of bounded functions
on which singular integral operators may not act as a bounded operator.
In this talk, we introduce some local existence theorem in a space of
bounded functions for domains such as bounded or exterior domains.
This in particular implies that a minimum rate of potential singularities
is type I even in the presence of boundaries. |
