16:00 - 17:00: Xuesen Na (University of Maryland): Limiting configuration of SU(1,2) Higgs bundles

The moduli space of Higgs bundles, or the space of solutions of Hitchin equations has been a focus of intensive studies in algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry and topology. Recently the asymptotics near the ends of the moduli space has been investigated by studying behavior of solutions for (E,t\Phi) as $t\to\infty$ by Mazzeo et al (2014), Mochizuki (2016) and Fredrickson (2018) for some cases of SL(n,C) Higgs bundles.
In this talk I will present a new result of the limiting behavior of solutions SU(1,2) Hitchin equation, as a first step of extending the study to the G-Higgs bundle with G a real rank-one Lie group. The proof relies on construction of approximate solutions by gluing local models on disks to decoupled solutions which converge to limiting configuration after appropriate scaling. A by-product of the study is an explicit description of spectral data of generic SU(1,2) Higgs bundle by Hecke transformations.

* Das Seminar findet zusammen mit der Technischen Universität Darmstadt, der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg und der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz als DaFraHeiMai statt.

Mi, 21. April 2021, Oberseminar Algebra und Geometrie (on Zoom)

• 16:00 - 17:00: Noémie Combe (MPI Leipzig): The realm of Frobenius manifolds.
• This talk will focus on different facets of so-called Frobenius manifolds, a mathematical object that arose in the process of axiomatisation of Topological Field Theory (TFT). Until 2019 there were three main classes: 1. Quantum cohomology, in relation to Gromov--Witten invariants. 2. Saito manifold (unfolding spaces of singularities), in relation to Landau--Ginzburg models. 3. The moduli space of solutions to Maurer--Cartan equations appearing in the Barannikov--Kontsevich theory, related to Gerstenhaber--Batalanin--Vilkoviskiy algebras. In a result 2020, in a joint work with Yu. Manin, we have proved that there exists a very unexpected bridge between algebraic geometry (involving moduli spaces of curves, Gromov--Witten invariants, unfolding spaces of isolated singularities, known as the Saito manifold) and statistical manifolds, central objects for machine learning, information geometry and decision theory. In this talk we will discuss different aspects of Frobenius manifolds in particular the Saito manifold (unfoldings of isolated singularities) and consider relations to Grothendieck—Teichmuller theory.

Mi, 05. Mai 2021, Oberseminar Algebra und Geometrie (on Zoom)

• 16:00 - 17:00: Marcin Lara (IMPAN/Warsaw): Fundamental groups of rigid spaces, geometric arcs and specialization morphism
We introduce a new category of coverings in rigid geometry, called geometric coverings, and show it is classified by a certain topological fundamental group. Geometric coverings generalize the class of étale coverings, introduced by de Jong, and its various natural modifications, and have certain desirable properties that were missing from those older notions: they are étale local and closed under taking infinite disjoint unions. The definition is based on the property of unique lifting of “geometric arcs”. On the way, we answer some questions from the foundational paper of de Jong.
In a separate project, for a formal scheme over a complete rank one valuation ring, we prove existence of a specialization morphism from the de Jong fundamental group of the rigid-analytic generic fiber to the pro-étale fundamental group of the special fiber.
This is joint work with Piotr Achinger and Alex Youcis.

• 16:00 - 17:00: Andrea Petracci (FU Berlin): On deformations of toric varieties and applications to moduli of Fano varieties.
• Abstract: Toric varieties are algebraic varieties whose geometry is encoded in certain discrete combinatorial objects, such as cones and polyhedra. After recalling the deformation theory of toric affine varieties (due to Klaus Altmann), in this talk I will show some applications to the local study of the recently constructed moduli space of K-polystable Fano varieties (i.e. Fano varieties admitting a Kähler-Einstein metric). In particular, I will explain that this moduli space is singular - this is joint work with Anne-Sophie Kaloghiros.

• 16:00 - 17:00: Michael Groechenig (Toronto): Hypertoric Hitchin systems and p-adic integration.
The first half of this talk will be devoted to a panoramic overview of p-adic integration for Hitchin systems. In particular, I will explain the main ideas that were used in joint work with Dimitri Wyss and Paul Ziegler to resolve the Hausel--Thaddeus conjecture.
In the second half we will turn to concrete examples. A construction due to Hausel and Proudfoot associates to a graph a complex-analytic integrable system. In joint work with Michael McBreen we introduce a formal-algebraic analogue of their spaces and compute the p-adic volumes of the fibres in graph-theoretic terms.

16:00 - 17:00: Mattia Talpo (Pisa): Derived categories of parabolic sheaves with rational weights.

I will talk about some of my past work (joint with N. Sibilla and S. Scherotzke) describing semi-orthogonal decompositions for the derived category of parabolic sheaves with rational weights on certain log schemes. I will start by recalling the notion(s) of parabolic bundles and sheaves on a pair, their relationship with bundles and coherent sheaves on (finite and infinite) root stacks, and then I will explain how to apply known results about semi-orthogonal decompositions on root stacks.

• Oberseminar Algebra und Geometrie (on Zoom)
16:00 - 17:00: Victoria Hoskins (Radboud University Nijmegen): The geometry and cohomology of moduli spaces of vector bundles and Higgs bundles.

Moduli spaces are geometric solutions to classification problems in algebraic geometry. One of the most classical examples is moduli of vector bundles and Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface, which has very rich geometry and has connections with representation theory and mathematical physics. I will describe the geometry of these moduli spaces and survey some results on their various cohomological invariants. Finally I will present some joint work with Simon Pepin Lehalleur on the motives of these moduli spaces, which unify different cohomological invariants and also encode Chow groups describing subvarieties of these moduli spaces.

• Oberseminar Algebra und Geometrie (on Zoom)
16:00 - 17:00: Fabio Bernasconi (University of Utah): Log liftability for del Pezzo surfaces and applications to singularities in positive characteristic.

In a recent work with Arvidsson and Lacini, we proved a liftability result to characteristic zero for singular del Pezzo surfaces over perfect fields of characteristic $p>5$. I will explain exactly what notion of liftability we use for singular surfaces (and pairs), and I will sketch some parts of the proof.
From this, I will explain the importance of this result for positive characteristic birational geometry: we prove a Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem for such surfaces that I successively used, in a work with Kollár, to deduce properties of singularities of klt threefolds and new liftability results for threefolds Mori fibre spaces in positive characteristic.
