Asymptotic Geometry in SOL

SOL is one of Thurston's eight classical homogeneous Riemannian geometries, possibly the most exotic one. To get some insight of this geometry, it might be helpful to visualize the shape of a large sp...

On moduli spaces of Fano varieties and their singularities

Fano varieties are projective varieties with “positive curvature”. Examples of Fano varieties are projective spaces, products of projective spaces, Grassmannians and hypersurfaces in projective spaces...

Non-commutative Iwasawa theory of abelian varieties

Non-commutative Iwasawa theory has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding deep arithmetic properties over number fields contained in a p-adic Lie extension and their precise relationship to...

Modular vector bundles on the Fano variety of a cubic fourfold

In this talk I will report on a joint work in progress with E. Fatighenti, in which we study some special vector bundles on the Fano variety of lines of a cubic fourfold. We will see that these bundle...

Decomposing a reductive group into strata

Let G be a reductive connected group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p . Of particular importance in the study of G is the set u(G) of unipotent conjugacy classes. It is known tha...

Brauer groups of moduli problems and enumerative geometry

The Brauer group, classifying Azumaya algebras up to Morita equivalence, is a fundamental invariant in number theory and algebraic geometry. Given a moduli problem M (e.g. smooth curves of a given gen...

Cluster algebras and knot theory

Cluster algebras are commutative algebras with a special combinatorial structure. A cluster algebra is a subalgebra of a field of rational functions in several variables that is generated by a disting...

Hypertoric varieties, W-Hilbert schemes and Coulomb branches

Motivated by physics, in the late 1990s Sen discussed a construction of complete hyperkähler metrics in (real) dimension 4 and so-called ALF (asymptotically locally flat) asymptotics as a "superpositi...

How to make log structures

I discuss how to practically put a log structure on a toroidal crossing space, and hopefully sketch applications to smoothing toric Fano varieties and log birational geometry. This is work in progress...

Positively multiplicative graphs, affine Grassmannians and finite automatons

Positively multiplicative graphs are graphs whose adjacency matrix can be embedded in a matrix algebra admitting a distinguished basis labelled by its vertices with nonnegative structure constants. It...
