Title: On degeneration of $D$-shtukas over ramified legs

Abstract: 

Let $D$ be a central division algebra over a global function field $F$, and choose a parahoric integral model $G$ of $D^\times$ over the smooth projective model of $F$. We obtain a sufficient condition for properness of moduli stacks of $r$-legged $G$-shtukas bounded by some Beilinson--Drinfeld Schubert variety allowing legs, allowing legs to meet the ramification locus of $D$. In particular, we show that the moduli stack is proper if $D$ is ``sufficiently ramified'' relative to the number of legs $r$ and the bound. Our sufficient condition is more stringent than the condition for the moduli stack to be proper over the unramified locus for $G$, obtained by Eike Lau. This is joint work with Yong-Gyu Choi and Junyeong Park.

Title: Tame fundamental groups of rigid spaces 

Abstract:
The fundamental group of a complex variety is finitely presented. The talk will survey algebraic variants (in fact, distant corollaries) of this fact, in the context of variants of the etale fundamental group. We will then zoom in on "tame" etale fundamental groups of p-adic analytic spaces. Our main result is that it is (topologically) finitely generated (for a quasi-compact and quasi-separated rigid space over an algebraically closed field).  The proof uses logarithmic geometry beyond its usual scope of finitely generated monoids to (eventually) reduce the problem to the more classical one of finite generation of tame fundamental groups of algebraic varieties over the residue field. This is joint work with Katharina Hübner, Marcin Lara, and Jakob Stix.

Title: Descent for logarithmic invariants and applications

Abstract:
Following a suggestion by Mathew, I will explain how to identify some arithmetic invariants of logarithmic schemes with (non-log) invariants of the associated infinity root stack of Talpo and Vistoli. A key ingredient is a form of descent for logarithmic invariants that we call "saturated descent”. As an application, we deduce comparison theorems of logarithmic invariants from classical (non-logarithmic) comparisons and construct variants of Beilinson/Bloch--Esnault--Kerz fiber squares for semi-stable varieties over a local field.
This is a joint work with F. Binda, T. Lundemo and D. Park.

15:15--16:45 Ko Aoki (Bonn)

Title: Higher motives

Abstract:
I talk about my thesis work in progress. I first explain how to categorify the idea of motives of algebraic varieties. Now we parametrize six operations rather than cohomology theories, which I call “2-motives.” To formulate this, we need the theory of presentable (∞, 2)-categories, which was initiated by Stefanich and has been recently advanced by me. I then explain Scholze’s idea for relating this to the transmutation philosophy of Drinfeld and Bhatt–Lurie. I present my theorem precisely realizing this idea. Moreover, I describe the analytic version of this theorem, which is useful for constructing various realizations, such as the p-adic de Rham realization and the Habiro realization.

Talk 1

Time: 13:45--15:15

Speaker: Christopher Frei (TU Graz)

Title: Asymptotics for solubility of unit equations over real quadratic fields

Abstract: For a real quadratic field K and positive integer r, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of rational integers of bounded absolute value that can be written as a sum of r units of the ring of integers of K. This is joint work with M. Widmer and V. Ziegler and answers partially a question posed by M. Jarden and W. Narkiewicz.

Title: 

Rationality problem for fields of invariants, norm one tori and Hasse norm principle

Abstract: 

The aim of this talk is to give a survey of recent developments in the rationality problem for fields of invariants, e.g. Noether's problem, rationality problem for algebraic tori, norm one tori and quasi-monomial actions.

I will give some explicit examples of (non-)stably (resp. retract) rational fields

which are weaker concepts than the rationality.

Negative results may be obtained by using (stable) birational invariants, e.g. flabby class, unramified Brauer (cohomology) group which is an avatar of the Artin-Mumford invariant.

By Colliot-Thelene and Voisin's result (2012, Duke Math. J.), an explicit example of

non-vanishing of the unramified cohomology group of degree three provides an explicit counter-example of the integral Hodge conjecture.

A counter-example of Noether's problem for N\rtimes A_6 over C is also given

where A_6 is the alternating group of degree 6 and N=(Z/10Z)^9.

As an application, we present recent results about Hasse norm principle for K/k where K/k is a finite separable field extension of a global field k.

Actions of degenerating abelian varieties on their Mumford models

Abstract: 

Mumfordは，完備環上で分裂トーラス還元を持つアーベル多様体について，相対的コンパクトモデルを構成した．このモデルはMumfordモデルと呼ばれ，一般には一意的でないが有用である．中村郁氏との共同研究において，完備離散付値環上のアーベル多様体のネロンモデルについて，ネロンモデルが作用するような対称性の高い相対的コンパクトモデルをMumfordモデルに基づき構成した．この対称性は，連結成分群と単位成分群に関する二種類の対称性からなる．本講演では，一般の完備環上のMumfordモデルについて，後者の対称性を解説する．

Title: 

Gluing coamoebas of hyperplane arrangements to obtain pair-of-pants decompositions of complex varieties

Abstract: 

In this talk, I will discuss a general technique for expressing the topological structure of a complex algebraic variety in terms of glued hyperplane complements in projective space. In the case of a Riemann surface, this recovers well-known pair-of-pants decompositions. Here the hyperplane complement consists of the projective line minus three points. 

At the beginning of the talk, I will give a short elementary introduction to various concepts in algebraic geometry and algebraic topology to explain the relevant framework for the remainder of the talk. I will then move over to the main theorem of the talk, which says that the topology of a hyperplane complement can be recovered in terms of the associated angle set, or coamoeba, of the hyperplanes. Loosely speaking, this shows that the essential topological data associated to a hyperplane complement lies in the possible angles resulting from the hyperplane equations, so that the radii can be forgotten. 

To prove this result, I will introduce the more general notion of a quasi-polyhedral fibration and show that these define homotopy equivalences. This will require a general semi-algebraic form of the Smale-Vietoris theorem combined with a limiting argument. The angle map for a hyperplane complement is a particular example of a quasi-polyhedral fibration, so this automatically shows that the angles of the hyperplanes recover the topology of the complement. We then extend this theorem to the Kato-Nakayama space of a suitable smooth toric compactification of the complement and show that the extended angle set (or coamoeba) is homotopy equivalent to the Kato-Nakayama space. This allows us to glue extended angle sets along boundary divisors to obtain generalized pair-of-pants decompositions. This is part of a project with Yassine El Maazouz.
