Fields and Geometry III

This course is an investigation of the relationship between the concepts of "number" and "geometry". In the traditional plane geometry of drawing figures on a piece of paper we can use two real number coordinates to describe the plane. Lines, circles and many other geometrical objects can be specified using equations on the coordinates and their geometrical properties determined by calculations with real numbers. In this way the geometrical properties of the plane are reflected in the algebraic properties of the real numbers, and conversely. In this course the idea of the connection between number and geometry is pursued using more general number systems and geometries. The first part of the course generalises the real numbers to a mathematical structure called a field. A field is a set of elements in which we can add, subtract, multiply and divide; examples being the real numbers, complex numbers and the rational numbers. Properties and constructions of fields will be investigated in detail. Of particular interest will be the examples of fields that have a finite number of elements. Finite fields have many applications, particularly in Information Security where the understanding of finite fields is fundamental to many codes and cryptosystems. The second part of the course considers projective geometries. Projective geometry is one of the important modern geometries introduced in the 19th century. The history of geometry is fascinating, and we discuss this briefly. Projective geometry is more general than our usual Euclidean geometry, and it has useful applications in Information Security, Statistics, Computer Graphics and Computer Vision The focus will be primarily on projective planes. They will be introduced axiomatically and then examples constructed by using fields as coordinates (although not coordinates in the Cartesian sense). Once we have set up our tools, we discuss some familiar concepts (such as conics and transformations) in the context of projective planes. We will then consider projective spaces of general (finite) dimension and briefly axiomatic generalisations of projective geometries. Finite projective geometries provide an excellent opportunity for the study of geometries with a simple structure, and are a good setting to enhance problem solving skills. Fields: fields, polynomials rings, extensions of fields; automorphisms of fields, the structure of a finite field. Projective Geometry: projective planes, homogeneous coordinates, field planes, collineations of projective planes, conics in field planes, projective geometry of general dimension.

Homological algebra and applications - a historical survey
15:10 Fri 19 May 06 | G08, Mathematics Building, University of Adelaide | Prof. Amnon Neeman

Abstract...
Homological algebra is a curious branch of mathematics; it is a powerful tool which has been used in many diverse places, without any clear understanding why it should be so useful. We will give a list of applications, proceeding chronologically: first to topology, then to complex analysis, then to algebraic geometry, then to commutative algebra and finally (if we have time) to non-commutative algebra. At the end of the talk I hope to be able to say something about the part of homological algebra on which I have worked, and its applications. That part is derived categories.
Finite Geometries: Classical Problems and Recent Developments
15:10 Fri 20 Jul 07 | G04, Napier Building, University of Adelaide | Prof. Joseph A. Thas | Ghent University, Belgium

Abstract...
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in finite projective spaces, and important applications to practical topics such as coding theory, cryptography and design of experiments have made the field even more attractive. In my talk some classical problems and recent developments will be discussed. First I will mention Segre's celebrated theorem and ovals and a purely combinatorial characterization of Hermitian curves in the projective plane over a finite field here, from the beginning, the considered pointset is contained in the projective plane over a finite field. Next, a recent elegant result on semiovals in PG(2,q), due to Gács, will be given. A second approach is where the object is described as an incidence structure satisfying certain properties; here the geometry is not a priori embedded in a projective space. This will be illustrated by a characterization of the classical inversive plane in the odd case. Another quite recent beautiful result in Galois geometry is the discovery of an infinite class of hemisystems of the Hermitian variety in PG(3,q^2), leading to new interesting classes of incidence structures, graphs and codes; before this result, just one example for GF(9), due to Segre, was known.
Mathematical modelling of blood flow in curved arteries
15:10 Fri 12 Sep 08 | G03, Napier Building, University of Adelaide | Dr Jennifer Siggers | Imperial College London

Abstract...
Atherosclerosis, characterised by plaques, is the most common arterial disease. Plaques tend to develop in regions of low mean wall shear stress, and regions where the wall shear stress changes direction during the course of the cardiac cycle. To investigate the effect of the arterial geometry and driving pressure gradient on the wall shear stress distribution we consider an idealised model of a curved artery with uniform curvature. We assume that the flow is fully-developed and seek solutions of the governing equations, finding the effect of the parameters on the flow and wall shear stress distribution. Most previous work assumes the curvature ratio is asymptotically small; however, many arteries have significant curvature (e.g. the aortic arch has curvature ratio approx 0.25), and in this work we consider in particular the effect of finite curvature.

We present an extensive analysis of curved-pipe flow driven by a steady and unsteady pressure gradients. Increasing the curvature causes the shear stress on the inside of the bend to rise, indicating that the risk of plaque development would be overestimated by considering only the weak curvature limit.

Direct "delay" reductions of the Toda equation
13:10 Fri 23 Jan 09 | School Board Room | Prof Nalini Joshi | University of Sydney

Abstract...
A new direct method of obtaining reductions of the Toda equation is described. We find a canonical and complete class of all possible reductions under certain assumptions. The resulting equations are ordinary differential-difference equations, sometimes referred to as delay-differential equations. The representative equation of this class is hypothesized to be a new version of one of the classical Painleve equations. The Lax pair associated to this equation is obtained, also by reduction.
Noncommutative geometry of odd-dimensional quantum spheres
13:10 Fri 27 Feb 09 | School Board Room | Dr Partha Chakraborty | University of Adelaide

Abstract...
We will report on our attempts to understand noncommutative geometry in the lights of the example of quantum spheres. We will see how to produce an equivariant fundamental class and also indicate some of the limitations of isospectral deformations.

Geometric analysis on the noncommutative torus
13:10 Fri 20 Mar 09 | School Board Room | Prof Jonathan Rosenberg | University of Maryland

Abstract...
Noncommutative geometry (in the sense of Alain Connes) involves replacing a conventional space by a "space" in which the algebra of functions is noncommutative. The simplest truly non-trivial noncommutative manifold is the noncommutative 2-torus, whose algebra of functions is also called the irrational rotation algebra. I will discuss a number of recent results on geometric analysis on the noncommutative torus, including the study of nonlinear noncommutative elliptic PDEs (such as the noncommutative harmonic map equation) and noncommutative complex analysis (with noncommutative elliptic functions).

String structures and characteristic classes for loop group bundles
13:10 Fri 1 May 09 | School Board Room | Mr Raymond Vozzo | University of Adelaide

Abstract...
The Chern-Weil homomorphism gives a geometric method for calculating characteristic classes for principal bundles. In infinite dimensions, however, the standard theory fails due to analytical problems. In this talk I shall give a geometric method for calculating characteristic classes for principal bundle with structure group the loop group of a compact group which side-steps these complications. This theory is inspired in some sense by results on the string class (a certain cohomology class on the base of a loop group bundle) which I shall outline.
Four classes of complex manifolds
13:10 Fri 8 May 09 | School Board Room | A/Prof Finnur Larusson | University of Adelaide

Abstract...
We introduce the four classes of complex manifolds defined by having few or many holomorphic maps to or from the complex plane. Two of these classes have played an important role in complex geometry for a long time. A third turns out to be too large to be of much interest. The fourth class has only recently emerged from work of Abel Prize winner Mikhail Gromov.
Lagrangian fibrations on holomorphic symplectic manifolds I: Holomorphic Lagrangian fibrations
13:10 Fri 5 Jun 09 | School Board Room | Dr Justin Sawon | Colorado State University

Abstract...
A compact K{\"a}hler manifold $X$ is a holomorphic symplectic manifold if it admits a non-degenerate holomorphic two-form $\sigma$. According to a theorem of Matsushita, fibrations on $X$ must be of a very restricted type: the fibres must be Lagrangian with respect to $\sigma$ and the generic fibre must be a complex torus. Moreover, it is expected that the base of the fibration must be complex projective space, and this has been proved by Hwang when $X$ is projective. The simplest example of these {\em Lagrangian fibrations\/} are elliptic K3 surfaces. In this talk we will explain the role of elliptic K3s in the classification of K3 surfaces, and the (conjectural) generalization to higher dimensions.
Chern-Simons classes on loop spaces and diffeomorphism groups
13:10 Fri 12 Jun 09 | School Board Room | Prof Steve Rosenberg | Boston University

Abstract...
The loop space LM of a Riemannian manifold M comes with a family of Riemannian metrics indexed by a Sobolev parameter. We can construct characteristic classes for LM using the Wodzicki residue instead of the usual matrix trace. The Pontrjagin classes of LM vanish, but the secondary or Chern-Simons classes may be nonzero and may distinguish circle actions on M. There are similar results for diffeomorphism groups of manifolds.
Lagrangian fibrations on holomorphic symplectic manifolds II: Existence of Lagrangian fibrations
13:10 Fri 19 Jun 09 | School Board Room | Dr Justin Sawon | Colorado State University

Abstract...
The Hilbert scheme ${\mathrm Hilb}^nS$ of points on a K3 surface $S$ is a well-known holomorphic symplectic manifold. When does ${\mathrm Hilb}^nS$ admit a Lagrangian fibration? The existence of a Lagrangian fibration places some conditions on the Hodge structure, since the pull back of a hyperplane from the base gives a special divisor on ${\mathrm Hilb}^nS$, and in turn a special divisor on $S$. The converse is more difficult, but using Fourier-Mukai transforms we will show that if $S$ admits a divisor of a certain degree then ${\mathrm Hilb}^nS$ admits a Lagrangian fibration.
Strong Predictor-Corrector Euler Methods for Stochastic Differential Equations
15:10 Fri 19 Jun 09 | LG29 | Prof. Eckhard Platen | University of Technology, Sydney

Abstract...
This paper introduces a new class of numerical schemes for the pathwise approximation of solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The proposed family of strong predictor-corrector Euler methods are designed to handle scenario simulation of solutions of SDEs. It has the potential to overcome some of the numerical instabilities that are often experienced when using the explicit Euler method. This is of importance, for instance, in finance where martingale dynamics arise for solutions of SDEs with multiplicative diffusion coefficients. Numerical experiments demonstrate the improved asymptotic stability properties of the proposed symmetric predictor-corrector Euler methods.
Lagrangian fibrations on holomorphic symplectic manifolds III: Holomorphic coisotropic reduction
13:10 Fri 26 Jun 09 | School Board Room | Dr Justin Sawon | Colorado State University

Abstract...
Given a certain kind of submanifold $Y$ of a symplectic manifold $(X,\omega)$ we can form its coisotropic reduction as follows. The null directions of $\omega|_Y$ define the characteristic foliation $F$ on $Y$. The space of leaves $Y/F$ then admits a symplectic form, descended from $\omega|_Y$. Locally, the coisotropic reduction $Y/F$ looks just like a symplectic quotient. This construction also work for holomorphic symplectic manifolds, though one of the main difficulties in practice is ensuring that the leaves of the foliation are compact. We will describe a criterion for compactness, and apply coisotropic reduction to produce a classification result for Lagrangian fibrations by Jacobians.
Another proof of Gaboriau-Popa
13:10 Fri 3 Jul 09 | School Board Room | Prof Greg Hjorth | University of Melbourne

Abstract...
Gaboriau and Popa showed that a non-abelian free group on finitely many generators has continuum many measure preserving, free, ergodic, actions on standard Borel probability spaces. The original proof used the notion of property (T). I will sketch how this can be replaced by an elementary, and apparently new, dynamical property.
Generalizations of the Stein-Tomas restriction theorem
13:10 Fri 7 Aug 09 | School Board Room | Prof Andrew Hassell | Australian National University

Abstract...
The Stein-Tomas restriction theorem says that the Fourier transform of a function in L^p(R^n) restricts to an L^2 function on the unit sphere, for p in some range [1, 2(n+1)/(n+3)]. I will discuss geometric generalizations of this result, by interpreting it as a property of the spectral measure of the Laplace operator on R^n, and then generalizing to the Laplace-Beltrami operator on certain complete Riemannian manifolds. It turns out that dynamical properties of the geodesic flow play a crucial role in determining whether a restriction-type theorem holds for these manifolds.

Weak Hopf algebras and Frobenius algebras
13:10 Fri 21 Aug 09 | School Board Room | Prof Ross Street | Macquarie University

Abstract...
A basic example of a Hopf algebra is a group algebra: it is the vector space having the group as basis and having multiplication linearly extending that of the group. We can start with a category instead of a group, form the free vector space on the set of its morphisms, and define multiplication to be composition when possible and zero when not. The multiplication has an identity if the category has finitely many objects; this is a basic example of a weak bialgebra. It is a weak Hopf algebra when the category is a groupoid. Group algebras are also Frobenius algebras. We shall generalize weak bialgebras and Frobenius algebras to the context of monoidal categories and describe some of their theory using the geometry of string diagrams.

Defect formulae for integrals of pseudodifferential symbols: applications to dimensional regularisation and index theory
13:10 Fri 4 Sep 09 | School Board Room | Prof Sylvie Paycha | Universite Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France

Abstract...
The ordinary integral on L^1 functions on R^d unfortunately does not extend to a translation invariant linear form on the whole algebra of pseudodifferential symbols on R^d, forcing to work with ordinary linear extensions which fail to be translation invariant. Defect formulae which express the difference between various linear extensions, show that they differ by local terms involving the noncommutative residue. In particular, we shall show how integrals regularised by a "dimensional regularisation" procedure familiar to physicists differ from Hadamard finite part (or "cut-off" regularised) integrals by a residue. When extended to pseudodifferential operators on closed manifolds, these defect formulae express the zeta regularised traces of a differential operator in terms of a residue of its logarithm. In particular, we shall express the index of a Dirac type operator on a closed manifold in terms of a logarithm of a generalized Laplacian, thus giving an a priori local description of the index and shall discuss further applications.
Covering spaces and algebra bundles
13:10 Fri 11 Sep 09 | School Board Room | Prof Keith Hannabuss | University of Oxford

Abstract...
Bundles of C*-algebras over a topological space M can be classified by a Dixmier-Douady obstruction in H^3(M,Z). This talk will describe some recent work with Mathai investigating the relationship between algebra bundles on M and on its covering space, where there can be no obstruction, particularly when there is a group acting on M.
Understanding hypersurfaces through tropical geometry
12:10 Fri 25 Sep 09 | Napier 102 | Dr Mohammed Abouzaid | Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Abstract...
Given a polynomial in two or more variables, one may study the zero locus from the point of view of different mathematical subjects (number theory, algebraic geometry, ...). I will explain how tropical geometry allows to encode all topological aspects by elementary combinatorial objects called "tropical varieties." Mohammed Abouzaid received a B.S. in 2002 from the University of Richmond, and a Ph.D. in 2007 from the University of Chicago under the supervision of Paul Seidel. He is interested in symplectic topology and its interactions with algebraic geometry and differential topology, in particular the homological mirror symmetry conjecture. Since 2007 he has been a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, and a Clay Mathematics Institute Research Fellow.
Stable commutator length
13:40 Fri 25 Sep 09 | Napier 102 | Professor Danny Calegari | California Institute of Technology

Abstract...
Stable commutator length answers the question: "what is the simplest surface in a given space with prescribed boundary?" where "simplest" is interpreted in topological terms. This topological definition is complemented by several equivalent definitions - in group theory, as a measure of non-commutativity of a group; and in linear programming, as the solution of a certain linear optimization problem. On the topological side, scl is concerned with questions such as computing the genus of a knot, or finding the simplest 4-manifold that bounds a given 3-manifold. On the linear programming side, scl is measured in terms of certain functions called quasimorphisms, which arise from hyperbolic geometry (negative curvature) and symplectic geometry (causal structures). In these talks we will discuss how scl in free and surface groups is connected to such diverse phenomena as the existence of closed surface subgroups in graphs of groups, rigidity and discreteness of symplectic representations, bounding immersed curves on a surface by immersed subsurfaces, and the theory of multi- dimensional continued fractions and Klein polyhedra. Danny Calegari is the Richard Merkin Professor of Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology, and is one of the recipients of the 2009 Clay Research Award for his work in geometric topology and geometric group theory. He received a B.A. in 1994 from the University of Melbourne, and a Ph.D. in 2000 from the University of California, Berkeley under the joint supervision of Andrew Casson and William Thurston. From 2000 to 2002 he was Benjamin Peirce Assistant Professor at Harvard University, after which he joined the Caltech faculty; he became Richard Merkin Professor in 2007.
A Fourier-Mukai transform for invariant differential cohomology
13:10 Fri 9 Oct 09 | School Board Room | Mr Richard Green | University of Adelaide

Abstract...
Fourier-Mukai transforms are a geometric analogue of integral transforms playing an important role in algebraic geometry. Their name derives from the construction of Mukai involving the Poincare line bundle associated to an abelian variety. In this talk I will discuss recent work looking at an analogue of this original Fourier-Mukai transform in the context of differential geometry, which gives an isomorphism between the invariant differential cohomology of a real torus and its dual.
Irreducible subgroups of SO(2,n)
13:10 Fri 16 Oct 09 | School Board Room | Dr Thomas Leistner | University of Adelaide

Abstract...
Berger's classification of irreducibly represented Lie groups that can occur as holonomy groups of semi-Riemannian manifolds is a remarkable result of modern differential geometry. What is remarkable about it is that it is so short and that only so few types of geometry can occur. In Riemannian signature this is even more remarkable, taking into account that any representation of a compact Lie group admits a positive definite invariant scalar product. Hence, for any not too small n there is an abundance of irreducible subgroups of SO(n). We show that in other signatures the situation is quite different with, for example, SO(1,n) having no proper irreducible subgroups. We will show how this and the corresponding result about irreducible subgroups of SO(2,n) follows from the Karpelevich-Mostov theorem. (This is joint work with Antonio J. Di Scala, Politecnico di Torino.)

Analytic torsion for twisted de Rham complexes
13:10 Fri 30 Oct 09 | School Board Room | Prof Mathai Varghese | University of Adelaide

Abstract...
We define analytic torsion for the twisted de Rham complex, consisting of differential forms on a compact Riemannian manifold X with coefficients in a flat vector bundle E, with a differential given by a flat connection on E plus a closed odd degree differential form on X. The definition in our case is more complicated than in the case discussed by Ray-Singer, as it uses pseudodifferential operators. We show that this analytic torsion is independent of the choice of metrics on X and E, establish some basic functorial properties, and compute it in many examples. We also establish the relationship of an invariant version of analytic torsion for T-dual circle bundles with closed 3-form flux. This is joint work with Siye Wu.
