2013 FALL

 

PAST SEMINARS:

13 SPRING - 12 FALL - 12 SPRING - 11 FALL

 

1. SEP 13 SPEAKER: Choi, Sung Rak, IBS CGP
TITLE: Nakamaye theorem and Moriwaki divisors
ABSTRACT: I will give a survey on the recent results on the Nakamaye theorem and Moriwaki divisors.
2. SEP 20  추석, 中秋节, Korean thanksgiving holiday
3. SEP 27 SPEAKER: Zhi, Zhixian, KIAS
TITLE: Log Canonical thresholds in positive characteristic
ABSTRACT: For a smooth variety X in characteristic 0, Ein, Lazarsfeld andMustata showed that there is a correspondence between irreducible closed cylinders anddivisorial valuations on X. Via this correspondence, one can relate the codimension ofa cylinder to the log discrepancy of the corresponding divisorial valuation. In this talk, I will explain how to extend this result to positive characteristic. 
4. OCT 4 SPEAKER: Yoon, Youngho, IBS CGP
TITLE: Singularity invariants related to Milnor fibers
ABSTRACT: Milnor fiber is a smooth object related to hypersurface singularities. We can define invariants of singularities from this object and relate to other singularity invariants. I will start with the definition of singularity and then focus on the Milnor fiber of hypersurface singularities. If time allows, we will see an example of hyperplane arrangement or generalizations of Milnor fiber.
5. OCT 11 SPEAKER: Choi, Jinwon, KIAS/CMC(Center for Mathematical Challenges)
TITLE: Torus localization and the stable pairs 
ABSTRACT: By the classical Bialynicki-Birula decomposition when we have an action of an algebraic torus, the topological invariants for the moduli space are obtained by classifying its torus fixed locus and computing the torus representation of the tangent space at each fixed point. In the first part of the talk, we explain this technique with examples such as the Hilbert schemes and the moduli spaces of stable pairs. In the second part, we extend the method to define the refined stable pair invariants for local toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. A product formula for their generating function is proposed as a generalization of the motivic product formula of Morrison, Mozgovoy, Nagao, and Szendroi for local P^1. If time permits, we will also describe how the product formula can be understood by the wall-crossing in \alpha-stable pairs. This is joint work with Sheldon Katz and Albrecht Klemm. 
6. OCT 18 No seminar
7. OCT 25 No seminar due to KMS meeting.
8. NOV 1(?) SPEAKER: Jang, Junmyeong, Ulsan University
TITLE: Enriques K3 surfaces over odd characteristic
ABSTRACT: In this talk, we will see a criterion for a K3 surface to be the cover of an Enriques surface over odd characteristic.
9. NOV 8 Thesis defense (Kim, Inkyun
10. NOV 15 No seminar
11. NOV 22 SPEAKER: Shin, Jaeho, KIAS
TITLE: The surjectivity of the reduction map for Alexeev's space
ABSTRACT: DOWNLOAD
12. NOV 29 No seminar
13. DEC 6 No seminar
14. DEC 13 SPEAKER: Fujita, Kento, RIMS
TITLE: Semi-terminal modifications of demi-normal pairs
ABSTRACT: It is a classical result that for a normal algebraic surface there exists the minimal resolution. In this talk, we want to talk about its reducible and higher-dimensional version.

SPEAKER: Joonyeong, Won, KIAS
TITLE: Survey on birational rigid Fano complete intersections
ABSTRACT: We survey some results of birational rigidity on Fano complete intersections in projective space by Pukhlikov.
