Следващата сбирка на Семинара по геометрия на МЦМН ще се проведе в сряда, 15 май 2024 г. от 16:00 ч. в зала 403 и онлайн в Zoom: Доклад на тема Hyperbolic amoebas ще изнесе Михаил Школников, ИМИ - БАН. Abstract: Classical amoebas serve as a tool to study algebraic varieties and as one of the entry points to tropical geometry. The original definition involves a logarithmic projection of a subvariety of a complex algebraic torus, which can be interpreted as forgetting the phase, i.e. the arguments of complex numbers. In group-theoretic terms, this projection map may be thought of as passing to the quotient by the maximal compact subgroup. Suppose one replaces the algebraic torus with a complex three-dimensional matrix group. In that case, [...]

Следващата сбирка на Семинара по геометрия на МЦМН ще се проведе в сряда, 24 април 2024 г. от 16:00 ч. в зала 403: Доклад на тема Generalised Plucker formula ще изнесе Андрей Бенгуш-Ласние, МЦМН. Abstract: In order to classify objects in singularity theory and algebraic geometry, we define invariants associated to varieties or germs of singularities and hope to have enough tools to compute them easily. From classical projective duality, for any variety X , we can define a dual variety X∗ and we call the class of X the degree of X∗ . Plücker’s formula allows one to compute this class for plane curves with a certain set of nodes, cusps and tacnodes. We will start our talk by recalling the [...]

Abstract: This is reading seminar of geometry of Lubin-Tate theory, our goal is to understand the papers “M. J. Hopkins and B. H. Gross, Equivariant vector bundles on the Lubin-Tate moduli space” and “Ramero, Lorenzo On a class of étale analytic sheaves”. The first seminar we plan to go over the basis of deformation theory, formal group and necessary rigid geometry. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83740034721?pwd=VnBtcVpGUktscHQ4a09jZkNZTURyZz09

Следващата сбирка на Семинара по геометрия на МЦМН ще се проведе в сряда, 20 март 2024 г. от 16:00 ч. в зала 403: Доклад на тема Ellipsoid superpotentials: obstructing symplectic embeddings by singular algebraic curves ще изнесе Григори Михалкин, Женевски университет. Abstract: How singular can be a local branch of a plane algebraic curve of a given degree d? A remarkable series of real algebraic curves was constructed by Stepan Orevkov. It is based on even-indexed numbers in the Fibonacci series: a degree 5 curve with a 13/2 cusp, a degree 13 curve with a 34/5-cusp, and so on. We discuss this and other series of algebraic curves in the context of the problem of symplectic packing of an ellipsoid into a ball, with [...]

Място: Зала 403, ИМИ - БАН Докладчик: Morgan Brown  (University of Miami) Доклад: Cox rings and characterization of toric varieties Допълнителна информация: https://icms.bg/the-cox-ring-perspective-in-birational-geometry-talk-by-morgan-brown/ Резюме. Recently Moraga and Svaldi proved a conjecture of Shokoruv, characterizing in the relative case toroidal morphisms as those which admit divisors with many components relative to the Picard rank. I will discuss the global version, proved in previous joint work with McKernan, Svaldi and Zong. The proof relies on characterizing the singularity type of the Cox ring, giving another example of the use of these invariants in birational geometry.

The Mori program for birational classification of algebraic varieties attempts to classify algebraic varieties by producing canonical models, polarized by the canonical class. This is accomplished through a series of algebraic surgery operations, such as flips, flops, and divisorial contractions. A complementary viewpoint is that of the total coordinate ring or Cox ring. Here birational maps are understood by looking at the totality of all linear series on the variety, endowed with a ring structure directly analogous to that of the homogeneous coordinate ring of a projective variety. I will give an overview of how [...]

Следващата сбирка на Семинара по геометрия на МЦМН ще се проведе в сряда, 28 февруари 2024 г. от 16:00 ч. в зала 403 и онлайн в Zoom: Доклад на тема Linear embeddings of complex Grassmannians ще изнесе Иван Пенков, Constructor University Bremen. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83740034721?pwd=VnBtcVpGUktscHQ4a09jZkNZTURyZz09 Abstract: A linear embedding of Grassmannians, one of which could possibly be isotropic, is an embedding which respects the generators of Picard groups. Several years ago A.S. Tikhomirov and I classified such embeddings when both Grassmannians are simultaneously usual Grassmannians or isotropic Grassmannians of the same type(orthogonal or symplectic). In this talk I will discuss also the mixed case. A classification as above has an application to the classification of infinite-dimensional linear ind-Grassmannians, and I shall  briefly explain this [...]

Следващата сбирка на Семинара по геометрия на МЦМН ще се проведе в сряда, 14 февруари 2024 г. от 16:00 ч. в зала 403 и онлайн в Zoom: Доклад на тема Refined curve counting ще изнесе Михаил Школников, ИМИ - БАН. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83740034721?pwd=VnBtcVpGUktscHQ4a09jZkNZTURyZz09 Abstract: Refining an enumerative problem upgrades the numerical solution to a polynomial so that its specialization gives the original number. A prototypical example of such refinement arises in the tropical curve counting from replacing Mikhalkin multiplicities, corresponding to counting complex curves, with Block-Goettsche multiplicities. I will speak about the invariance of this count and its various interpretations.

Място: Зала 403, ИМИ - БАН Докладчик: Jean-Pierre Gazeau (APC, Université Paris - Cité) Доклад: Quantum circuit complexity for light polarisation or complexity with no complex numbers Допълнителна информация: https://icms.bg/quantum-circuit-complexity-for-light-polarisation-or-complexity-with-no-complex-number-talk-by-jean-pierre-gazeau/ Резюме. I will present a form of quantum circuit complexity that extends to open systems. To illustrate the methodology, I focus on a basic model where the Hilbert space of states is represented by the Euclidean plane. Specifically, the investigation is about the dynamics of mixed quantum states as they undergo interactions with a sequence of gates. The approach involves the analysis of sequences of density matrices. Each density matrix evolves within the framework of a Gorini-Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan (GKLS) process during the time interval between consecutive gates. Notably, when considering [...]
