• JongHae Keum, Fake quadric surfaces

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker JongHae Keum KIAS A smooth projective complex surface S is called a Q-homology quadric if it has the same Betti numbers as the smooth quadric surface. Let S be a Q-homology quadric. Then its cohomology lattice is of rank 2, (even or odd) unimodular. By the classification of surfaces, S is either

  • Gian Pietro Pirola, Asymptotic directions on the moduli space of curves

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Gian Pietro Pirola University of Pavia We present some computational improvements that allow us to study asymptotic lines in the tangent of the moduli space Mg of the curves of genus g. The asymptotic directions are those tangent directions that are annihilated by the second fundamental form induced by the Torelli map.

  • Gian Pietro Pirola, Sections of the Jacobian bundles of plane curves and applications

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Gian Pietro Pirola University of Pavia We study normal functions (sections of the Jacobian bundle) defined on the moduli space of pointed plane curves. Using the infinitesimal Griffiths invariant (refined by M. Green and C. Voisin) we show that a normal function with nontrivial but sufficiently "small" support cannot be "locally constant".

  • Han-Bom Moon, Ulrich bundles on intersections of quadrics

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Han-Bom Moon Fordham University An Ulrich bundle is a vector bundle with very strong cohomology vanishing conditions. Eisenbud and Schreyer conjectured that every smooth projective variety possesses an Ulrich bundle. Despite many results on low dimensional varieties and special varieties, the general existence is unknown. In this talk, I will describe recent

  • Sung Gi Park, Hodge symmetries of singular varieties

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Sung Gi Park Princeton U. / IAS The Hodge diamond of a smooth projective complex variety exhibits fundamental symmetries, arising from Poincaré duality and the purity of Hodge structures. In the case of a singular projective variety, the complexity of the singularities is closely related to the symmetries of the analogous Hodge-Du

  • Yoosik Kim, Disk Counting via GIT Quotients

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Yoosik Kim Pusan National University According to the Kempf–Ness theorem, the GIT quotient is equivalent to the symplectic reduction. Using this correspondence, we explain how to relate the counting of holomorphic disks between a symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian group action and its symplectic reduction. As an application, we derive the

  • Alex Abreu, On the Torelli Theorem for graphs and stable curves

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Alex Abreu Universidade Federal Fluminense The classical Torelli theorem states that a smooth curve can be recovered from its polarized Jacobian. In this talk, we will discuss the extensions of this theorem to stable curves and their dual graphs, as well as its dependence on the concept of compactified Jacobians. First, we

  • Yoonjoo Kim, Two results on Lagrangian fibrations

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Yoonjoo Kim Columbia U. I would like to report two ongoing results on Lagrangian fibrations of smooth symplectic varieties. The first is the construction of a delta-regular smooth group scheme that acts on a given Lagrangian fibration. It is a generalization of the result of Arinkin-Fedorov, who proved the result under the

  • Makoto Enokizono, Normal stable degenerations of Noether-Horikawa surfaces

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Makoto Enokizono University of Tokyo Noether-Horikawa surfaces are surfaces of general type satisfying the equation K2=2pg−4, which represents the equality of the Noether inequality K2≥2pg−4 for surfaces of general type. In the 1970s, Horikawa conducted a detailed study of smooth Noether-Horikawa surfaces, providing a classification of these surfaces and describing their moduli spaces.

  • Doyoung Choi, Singularities and syzygies of secant varieties of smooth projective varieties

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Doyoung Choi KAIST / IBS We study the higher secant varieties of a smooth projective variety embedded in projective space. We prove that when the variety is a surface and the embedding line bundle is sufficiently positive, these varieties are normal with Du Bois singularities and the syzygies of their defining ideals

  • Haesong Seo, Algebraic hyperbolicity of adjoint linear systems on spherical varieties

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Haesong Seo KAIST / IBS A projective manifold is called hyperbolic if it does not admit an entire map from the complex plane. Demailly proved that hyperbolic manifolds are algebraically hyperbolic, meaning that there are degree bounds for curves in terms of their genera. It is a highly challenging problem to determine

  • Minseong Kwon, Automorphism groups of toroidal horospherical varieties

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Minseong Kwon Gyeongsang National University In the 1970s, Demazure studied the automorphism groups of two types of almost homogeneous varieties: rational homogeneous spaces and toric varieties. Especially, for a smooth complete toric variety, Demazure obtained a structure theorem for the connected automorphism group in terms of the so-called Demazure roots. In this
