Cohomology in algebra, geometry, physics and statistics

usually takes place every Wednesday at 11:30 AM Institute of Mathematics of ASCR, Žitná 25, Praha 1, konírna
Chair: Anton Galaev, Roman Golovko, Igor Khavkine, Alexei Kotov, Hong Van Le and Petr Somberg

In this seminar we shall discuss topics concerning constructions and applications of cohomology theory in algebra, geometry, physics and statistics. In particular we shall discuss in first four seminars the relations between vertex algebras and foliations on manifolds, Gelfand-Fuks cohomology on singular spaces, cohomology of homotopy Lie algebras. The expositions should be accessible for all participants.

Chain models of string topology coming from symplectic geometry
Pavel Hajek
University Hamburg
Wednesday, 16. December 2020 - 11:30 to 12:30
in IM back building, ground floor, blue lecture room + ZOOM meeting
I will recall loop spaces, natural structures on their
homology and the relation to symplectic geometry of the cotangent bundle
(specifically to chain level structures defined by counting holomorphic
curves). I will then zoom in on the equivariant case and a chain model
based on de Rham forms and Chern-Simons theory. I will show some

Quotients of Classical Symmetric Spaces
Mahir Can
Tulane University
Wednesday, 9. December 2020 - 11:45 to 12:45
ZOOM meeting
In this talk we will discuss some new and old results regarding the wonderful embeddings of classical complex
symmetric spaces. More precisely, we will introduce certain (non-arithmetic)
quotients of  classical symmetric spaces. Then we will describe their combinatorial
and geometric properties in relation with their wonderful embeddings.
Our running example will be on the variety of nondegenerate quadrics.

KP integrability of triple Hodge integrals
Alexander Alexandrov
Center for Geometry and Physics, IBS Pohang, South Korea
Wednesday, 2. December 2020 - 11:30 to 12:30
ZOOM meeting
In my talk I will describe a relation between the Givental group of rank one and Heisenberg-Virasoro symmetry group of the KP integrable hierarchy. In particular I will show that only a two-parameter family of the Givental operators can be identified with elements of the Heisenberg-Virasoro symmetry group. This family describes triple Hodge integrals satisfying the Calabi-Yau condition. Using identification of the elements of two groups it is possible to prove that the generating function of triple Hodge integrals satisfying the Calabi-Yau condition and its $\Theta$-version are tau-functions of the KP hierarchy. This generalizes the result of Kazarian on KP integrability in case of linear Hodge integrals. I will also describe the relation of this family of tau-functions with the generalized Kontsevich matrix model. My talk is based on two papers, arXiv:2009.01615 and arXiv:2009... more

Convergence of the Kähler-Ricci flow on varieties of general type
Tat Dat To
UPMC Paris VI
Wednesday, 18. November 2020 - 11:30 to 12:30
ZOOM meeting
We study the Kähler-Ricci flow on varieties of general type. We show that the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow exists at all times in the sense of viscosity, is continuous in an open Zariski set and converges to the singular Kähler-Einstein metric. This gives an answer to a question of Feldman-Ilmanen-Knopf.
