TITLE: Moduli of differentials

 

Abstract:

An Abelian differential defines a flat metric such that the underlying Riemann surface can be realized as a polygon whose edges are pairwise identified via translation. Varying the shape of such polygons induces a GL(2,R)-action on the moduli space of Abelian differentials, called Teichmueller dynamics, whose study has provided fascinating results and opened new avenues to many fields in mathematics. In the first lecture I will give an accessible introduction to this subject, with a focus on its connections to billiard dynamics, enumerative geometry, and arithmetic geometry. In the remaining lectures I will explain how to use techniques in algebraic geometry to study various problems in Teichmueller dynamics, including compactification, birational geometry, cycle class computation, etc. A number of recent developments and open problems will be mentioned.

Intensive Lecures on Semi-orthogonal decomposition of a derived category of an algebraic variety

 

Prof. Yujiro Kawamata (University of Tokyo)

 

16:00-17:15 in Jan. 16, 18, 22, 24,   Room 1401 

 

Abstarct.

I will start with the definition of a derived category of an algebraic variety. The derived category contains much essential information of the algebraic variety.

Then I consider a decomposition of the derived category into simpler components called a semi-orthogonal decomposition (SOD) and explain examples.

I will explain SOD’s related to the minimal model program in birational geometry. Some SOD’s are obtained by looking at so-called exceptional objects

or their deformed variants called relative exceptional objects. I will explain examples of SOD’s for some singular surfaces.

Existence criterion for standing waves to pseudo-relativistic nonlinear Schrodinger equations

Abstract : The pseudo-relativistic Schrodinger operator is defined by the square root of the elliptic operator , that arises when we consider a relativistic versions of quantum mechanics. Especially, it is used for describing spin zero particles as is Klein-Gordon operator. In this talk, I will present an almost complete existence criterion for standing waves to the pseudo-relativistic nonlinear Schrodinger equations, which exhibit an intermediate features between nonrelativistic nonlinear Schrodinger equations and nonlinear half wave equations.
We will see that this criterion depends on the quantity , not only on n and nonlinear exponent p, where  denotes the frequency of standing wave . Due to the supercriticality of the equation, the standard variational method does not seem to work although the equation enjoys a variational structure. Instead, we approach by adopting the contraction mapping principle. It turns out that a uniform L^p estimate for the pseudo-relativistic operator plays a crucial role for obtaining the existence of solutions in the full range of supercritical exponent p. This shall be obtained by the Hörmander-Mikhlin Theorem based on a symbol analysis of the pseudo-relativistic operator.

Stefan Kratsch, Elimination Distances, Blocking Sets, and Kernels for Vertex Cover

The Vertex Cover problem plays an essential role in the study of polynomial kernelization in parameterized complexity, i.e., the study of provable and efficient preprocessing for NP-hard problems. Motivated by the great variety of positive and negative results for kernelization for Vertex Cover subject to different parameters and graph classes, we seek to unify and generalize them using so-called blocking sets, which have played implicit and explicit roles in many results. We show that in the most-studied setting, parameterized by the size of a deletion set to a specified graph class C, bounded minimal blocking set size is necessary but not sufficient to get a polynomial kernelization. Under mild technical assumptions, bounded minimal blocking set size is showed to allow an essentially tight efficient reduction in the number of connected components. We then determine the exact maximum size of minimal blocking sets for graphs of bounded elimination distance to any hereditary class C, including the case of graphs of bounded treedepth. We get similar but not tight bounds for certain non-hereditary classes C, including the class CLP of graphs where integral and fractional vertex cover size coincide. These bounds allow us to derive polynomial kernels for Vertex Cover parameterized by the size of a deletion set to graphs of bounded elimination distance to, e.g., forest, bipartite, or CLP graphs.

Benjamin Bergougnoux, More applications of the d-neighbor equivalence

In this talk, I will present a framework which gives efficient algorithms for several connectivity problems such as Connected Dominating Set, Node Weighted Steiner Tree, Maximum Induced Tree, Longest Induced Path, and Feedback Vertex Set. For all these problems, we obtain efficient algorithms parameterized respectively by tree-width, clique-width, Q-rank-width, rank-width and maximum induced matching width. Our approach simplifies and unifies the known algorithms for each of the parameters and match asymptotically also the running time of the best algorithms for Vertex Cover and Dominating Set. Our framework is based on the d-neighbor equivalence defined in [Bui-Xuan, Telle and Vatshelle, TCS 2013]. The results we obtain highlight the importance and the generalizing power of this equivalence relation on width measures. We also prove that this equivalence relation could be useful for Max Cut: a W[1]-hard problem parameterized by clique-width.

Yixin Cao, Enumerating Maximal Induced Subgraphs

We study efficient algorithms for the maximal induced subgraphs problem: Given a graph on nvertices, enumerate all its maximal induced subgraphs that belong to a particular hereditary graph class. While its optimization version, known as the vertex deletion problem in literature, has been intensively studied, algorithms for the enumeration version exist only for few simple graph classes, e.g., independent sets and cliques. Enumeration algorithms are mainly categorized in three complexity classes, polynomial total time (polynomial on n and the total number of solutions), incremental polynomial time (for all s, the time to output the first s solutions is polynomial on n and s), and polynomial delay (for all s, the time to output the first s solutions is polynomial on n and linear on s). We first show that the maximal induced subgraphs problem can be solved in polynomial total time if and only if it can be solved in incremental polynomial time. We then propose general approaches to develop polynomial-delay algorithms and incremental-polynomial-time algorithms for the problem. They enable us to develop simple algorithms to solve the problem with polynomial delay for a large number of graph classes, and in incremental polynomial time for interval graphs, chordal graphs as well as two of its well-studied subclasses, and all graph classes with finite forbidden induced subgraphs.

Nick Brettell, Recent work on characterising matroids representable over finite fields

Characterising when a matroid is representable over a certain field or set of fields is one of the oldest problems in matroid theory, dating back to Whitney’s 1935 paper. In this talk, I will discuss some of the more recent work in this area, with a focus on work I have been involved with towards characterising matroids representable over all fields of size at least four.

Mamadou M. Kanté, On recognising k-letter graphs

k-letter graphs are a subclass of graphs of linear clique-width k, but are well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph ordering. I present a simple FPT algorithm for recognising k-letter graphs and also an upper bound on the size of minimal obstructions. The characterisation is based on a simple observation allowing an MSOL-definability. (joint work with V. Lozin)

O-joung Kwon (권오정), The grid theorem for vertex-minors

We prove that, for a circle graph H, every graph with sufficiently large rank-width contains a vertex-minor isomorphic to H. This is joint work with Jim Geelen, Rose McCarty, and Paul Wollan.

July 29 Monday

Archontia Giannopoulou, The directed flat wall theorem

At the core of the Robertson-Seymour theory of Graph Minors lies a powerful structure theorem which captures, for any fixed graph H, the common structural features of all the graphs not containing Has a minor [Neil Robertson, Paul D. Seymour: Graph Minors. XVI. Excluding a non-planar graph. J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 89(1): 43-76 (2003)]. An important step towards this structure theorem is the Flat Wall Theorem [Neil Robertson, Paul D. Seymour: Graph Minors .XIII. The Disjoint Paths Problem. J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 63(1): 65-110 (1995)], which has a lot of algorithmic applications (for example, the minor-testing and the disjoint paths problem with fixed number terminals).
In this paper, we prove the directed analogue of this Flat Wall Theorem. Our result builds on the recent Directed Grid Theorem by two of the authors (Kawarabayashi and Kreutzer), and we hope that this is an important and significant step toward the directed structure theorem, as with the case for the undirected graph for the graph minor project.
Joint work with Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi, Stephan Kreutzer, and O-joung Kwon.

Eunjung Kim (김은정), Subcubic even-hole-free graphs have a constant treewidth

It is known that even-hole-free graphs can have arbitrarily large rankwidth, but all known constructions have many high-degree vertices. It has been believed in the structural graph theory community that the rankwidth shall be bounded if the maximum degree is bounded. We prove that there exists a universal constant c such that every even-hole-free graph of degree at most three has treewidth at most c. As a by-product of the proof, we also show that there exists a function f such that for any r, Kr-minor-free and even-hole-free graph has treewidth at most f(r); this extends the result of Silva et. al. (Discrete Applied Mathematics 2010) addressing the case of planar graphs.
This is a joint work with Pierre Aboulker and Isolde Adler.

Pierre Aboulker, Generalizations of the geometric de Bruijn Erdős Theorem

A classic Theorem of de Bruijn and Erdős states that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. The line L(u,v)determined by two points u, v in the plane consists of all points p such that

dist(p,u)+dist(u,v)=dist(p,v) (i.e. u is betweenp and v) or dist(u,p)+dist(p,v)=dist(u,v) (i.e. p is between u and v) or dist(u,v)+dist(v,p)=dist(u,p) (i.e. v is between u and p).

With this definition of line L(uv) in an arbitrary metric space (V,dist), Chen and Chvátal conjectured that every metric space on n points, where n is at least 2, has at least n distinct lines or a line that consists of all n points. The talk will survey results on and around this conjecture.

Michael Dobbins, Barycenters of points in polytope skeleta

In this talk I will classify the n-tuples of dimensions such that any target point in any d-polytope is the barycenter of points in faces of the prescribed dimensions. Specifically, for a (nk+r)-polytope and target point, we can always find r points in faces of dimension k+1, and n−r points in faces of dimension k, that have their barycenter at the given target. This is tight in the sense that we cannot require even one of the points to be in a face of dimension less than k, and we cannot require more than n−r of the points to be in faces of dimension k. This is joint work with Florian Frick.

Édouard Bonnet, The FPT/W[1]-hard dichotomy of Max Independent Set in H-free graphs

Maximum Independent Set (MIS) is in general graphs the paradigmatic W[1]-hard problem. In stark contrast, polynomial-time algorithms are known when the inputs are restricted to structured graph classes such as, for instance, perfect graphs (which includes bipartite graphs, chordal graphs, co-graphs, etc.) or claw-free graphs. In this talk, we introduce some variants of co-graphs with “parameterized noise”, that is, graphs that can be turned into disjoint unions or complete sums by the removal of a certain number of vertices and the edition of a certain number of edges per incident vertex, both controlled by the parameter. We give a series of FPT Turing-reductions on these classes and use them to make some progress on the parameterized complexity of MIS in H-free graphs. We present the current state of the (randomized) FPT vs W[1]-hard dichotomy of MIS in H-free graphs. We then show that for every fixed t≥1, MIS is FPT in P(1,t,t,t)-free graphs, where P(1,t,t,t) is the graph obtained by substituting all the vertices of a four-vertex path but one end of the path by cliques of size t. In particular, this helped finishing the classification when H has at most five vertices.
This follows joint works with Nicolas Bousquet, Pierre Charbit, Stéphan Thomassé, and Rémi Watrigant.

Euiwoong Lee (이의웅), Losing treewidth by separating subsets

We study the problem of deleting the smallest set S of vertices (resp. edges) from a given graph G such that the induced subgraph (resp. subgraph) G∖Sbelongs to some class of graphs H. When graphs in H have treewidth bounded by t, we construct a framework for both vertex and edge deletion versions where approximation algorithms for these problems can be obtained from approximation algorithms for natural graph partitioning problems called k-Subset Vertex Separator and k-Subset Edge Separator.
For the vertex deletion, our framework, combined with the previous best result for k-Subset Vertex Separator, yields improved approximation ratios for fundamental problems such as k-Treewidth Vertex Deletion and Planar-F Vertex Deletion. For the edge deletion, we give improved approximation algorithms for k-Subset Edge Separator and their applications to various problems in bounded-degree graphs.
Joint work with Anupam Gupta, Jason Li, Pasin Manurangsi, and Michal Wlodarczyk.

Sang-il Oum (엄상일), Branch-depth: Generalizing tree-depth of graphs

We present a concept called the branch-depth of a connectivity function, that generalizes the tree-depth of graphs. Then we prove two theorems showing that this concept aligns closely with the notions of tree-depth and shrub-depth of graphs as follows. For a graph G=(V,E) and a subset A of E we let λG(A)be the number of vertices incident with an edge in Aand an edge in E∖A. For a subset X of V, let ρG(X)be the rank of the adjacency matrix between  https://dimag.ibs.re.kr/event/2019-ibs-summer-research-program/
