Mini-courses - titles and abstracts
Michel BRION - Local properties of actions of linear algebraic groups |
|
The mini-course will present some fundamental properties
of actions of linear algebraic groups (especially tori) on algebraic
varieties: linearization of invertible sheaves; existence of invariant
affine neighborhoods; the Bialynicki-Birula decomposition. The setting
will be algebraic geometry over an arbitrary field.
|
Serge CANTAT - Dynamical Degrees |
|
Let V be a complex projective variety and let f be a rational transformation
of V. The graph G(f) is an algebraic subset of VxV ; taking iterates, one gets a sequence
of graphs G(f^n) in VxV. The dynamical degrees of f are non-negative real numbers
that describe how the sequence G(f^n) grows with n. For instance, they capture
the exponential growth rate of the volume of G(f^n) as n goes to infinity.
I shall explain the definition of these numbers, their dynamical meaning, and some
of the very nice arithmetical properties that they satisfy (at least conjecturally).

Yuri PROKHOROV - Finite subgroups of the space Cremona group and Fano threefolds |
|
The aim of this course is to introduce a techniques
- based on the minimal model program -
that can be used
to classify finite subgroups of Cremona groups.
I concentrate on the three-dimensional case.

Talks - titles and abstracts
Jean-Philippe FURTER - Generalities on the groups SL2( [x1,...,xn] ) |
|
The group SL2() is often considered as a good
prototype of a linear algebraic group. Analogously, the theory of ind-groups
should probably begin with groups such as SL2( [x1,...,xn] ).
In my lecture, I will address different questions related with these groups,
especially considered as ind-groups. In particular, we will have a look
at the essentially different cases n=1 and n ≥2.
|
Stéphane LAMY - Blow-up of smooth curves |
|
I will blow-up some smooth curves in threefolds and decide when the variety obtained is weak-Fano. Joint work with JB.
|
Charlie PETITJEAN - A combinatorial description of T-varieties |
|
The coordinate ring A of a normal affine variety endowed with an effective action of the torus T=(*)n admits a natural grading indexed by the lattice of characters of T. We will review a method due to Altmann and Hausen to describe the graded pieces of A in terms of pairs (Y,D) consisting of a variety Y and a certain divisor D on Y with "combinatorial" coefficients.
|
Maria Fernanda ROBAYO - Finite order birational diffeomorphisms of the sphere for the conic bundle case |
|
Let S be the real algebraic projective surface defined by the equation w2=x2+y2+z2 in 2. The group of birational diffeomorphisms of S is denoted by Diffbir(S) or Aut(S()) and corresponds to those birational transformations f such that f and f -1 are defined at every real point of S.
For g∈Diffbir(S) of finite order it is known that if (X,g') is the minimal resolution of (S,g'), where g'∈Aut(X) is the lift of g, then
(1) rank Pic(X)g'=1 and X is a Del Pezzo surface, or
(2) rank Pic(X)g'=2 and Π: X→ 1 is a conic bundle.
We present some algebraic and geometric results about the conjugacy classes of birational diffeomorphisms of finite order for the case (2).

Mikhail SHKOLNIKOV - Counting curves on surfaces over non-algebraically closed fields |
|
Consider a very ample line bundle on a surface over an algebraically closed field. There is a classical enumerative problem of counting curves in the corresponding linear system of given genus and passing through a generic configuration of points. This numbers are usually called the Severi Degrees, in many cases they are known and well understood. One can try to formulate the same problem over an arbitrary field. But the corresponding number of curves will depend on the configuration of points even if it is generic. In the real case Welschinger managed to define a weighted invariant count of rational curves on a surface. Both Severi Degrees and Welschinger invariants for toric surfaces can be computied in a quite similar way via tropical geometry. Surprisingly, it appears that there exist a one parametric family of such refined invariant tropical counts with so called Bloch-Goettsche multiplicities which in a sense connects real and complex cases. It is expected that they provide answers to some unknown enumerative problems. In my talk I will prose some candidates. |
Soli VISHKAUTSAN - Arithmetic dynamics and residual periodicity of birational automorphisms of cubic surfaces |
|
We present "residual periodicity", a relatively new concept in arithmetic dynamics, as defined by Bandman, Grunewald and Kunyavskii. A rational self-map of a quasiprojective variety defined over a number field is strongly residually periodic if its minimal periods are bounded modulo almost every prime (where the bound is uniform, i.e. not depending on the prime). We discuss some interesting examples, and present results about residual periodicity of birational automorphisms of cubic surfaces.
