초록: Let X be a homogeneous space for a Lie group G. A (G,X)-structure on a manifold M is an atlas of coordinate charts valued in X, such that the changes of coordinates locally lie in G. It is a fundamental question to ask how many ways o...
Geometric Langlands theory: A bridge between number theory and physics
※ 강연 앞 부분이 잘렸습니다. (강연자료 다운: Geometric Langlands Theory [A Bridge between Number Theory and Physics] (2022.04.28).pdf ) 초록: The Langlands program consists of a tantalizing collection of surprising results and conjectures w...
Ward's identities and the related concept of the stress-energy tensor are standard tools in conformal field theory. I will present a mathematical overview of these concepts and outline relations between conformal field theory and Schramm-Loe...
There have been at least two surprising events to geometers in 80-90s that they had to admit physics really helps to solve classical problems in geometry. Donaldson proved the existence of exotic 4-dimensional Euclidean space using gauge th...
2000년 국제수학교육위원회( International Commission on Mathematical Instruction)는 수학교육연구에 탁월한 업적을 이룬 학자에게 수여하는 Freudenthal 메달과 Klein메달을 제정하여, 2003년 부터 홀수 해에 수상하고 있다. 이 강연에서는 2012년 서울에...
Free boundary problems arising from mathematical finance
Many problems in financial mathematics are closely related to the stochastic optimization problem because the optimal decision must be made under the uncertainty. In particular, optimal stopping, singular control, and optimal switching prob...
Fixed points of symplectic/Hamiltonian circle actions
A circle action on a manifold can be thought of as a periodic flow on a manifold (periodic dynamical system), or roughly a rotation of a manifold. During this talk, we consider symplectic/Hamiltonian circle actions on compact symplectic mani...
Fefferman's program and Green functions in conformal geometry
Motivated by the analysis of the singularity of the Bergman kernel of a strictly pseudoconvex domain, Charlie Fefferman launched in the late 70s the program of determining all local biholomorphic invariants of strictly pseudoconvex domain. T...
The notion of essential dimension was introduced by Buhler and Reichstein in the late 90s. Roughly speaking, the essential dimension of an algebraic object is the minimal number of algebraically independent parameters one needs to define the...
Equations defining algebraic curves and their tangent and secant varieties
It is a fundamental problem in algebraic geometry to study equations defining algebraic curves. In 1984, Mark Green formulated a famous conjecture on equations defining canonical curves and their syzygies. In early 2000's, Claire Voisin...
※ 강연 뒷부분이 녹화되지 않았습니다. A symplectic manifold is a space with a global structure on which Hamiltonian equations are defined. A classical result by Darboux says that every symplectic manifold locally looks standard, so it has be...
We consider different growth rates associated with the geometry (distance, volume, heat kernel) on a cover of a compact Riemannian manifold. We present general inequalities. We discuss the rigidity results and questions in the case of negati...
Diophantine equations and moduli spaces with nonlinear symmetry
A fundamental result in number theory is that, under certain linear actions of arithmetic groups on homogeneous varieties, the integral points of the varieties decompose into finitely many orbits. For a classical example, the set of integra...
Among many different ways to introduce derived algebraic geometry is an interplay between ordinary algebraic geometry and homotopy theory. The infinity-category theory, as a manifestation of homotopy theory, supplies better descent results ...
