    Emre Coşkun-[ODTÜ] - Quiver Representations I
        

    Abstract: In this series of talks, we shall introduce quivers and their representations and discuss their basic properties. We shall also discuss and prove (if time permits) Gabriel's theorem, which gives a complete classification of quivers of finite type.

    Davide Cesare Veniani-[Stuttgart] - Free involutions on ihs manifolds
        

    Abstract: Irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds are one of the building blocks of kähler manifolds with vanishing first Chern class. In dimension 2 they are called K3 surfaces. Free involutions on K3 surfaces are quite interesting because they connect this class of surfaces with another class, namely Enriques surfaces. I will talk about a formula for the number of free involutions on a K3 surface (joint work with I. Shimada), the classification of K3 surfaces without any free involution (joint work with S. Brandhorst and S. Sonel) and the generalization to higher dimensions (joint work with S. Boissière).

    Ayşegül Öztürkalan-[AGÜ] - Ayşegül Öztürkalan
        

    Abstract: The space of real algebraic plane projective curves of a fixed degree has a natural stratification. The strata of top dimension consists of non-singular curves and are known up to curves of degree 6. Topology and, in particular, fundamental groups of individual strata have not been studied systematically. We study the stratum formed by non-singular sextics with the real part consisting of 9 ovals which lie outside each other and divide the set of complex points. Apparently this stratum has one of the most complicated fundamental groups. In the talk I will study its subgroups which originate from spaces of linear equivalent real divisors on a real cubic curve and tell the connections.

    Kadri İlker Berktav-[ODTÜ] - Symplectic Structures on Derived Schemes
        

    Abstract: This is an overview on the basic aspects of so-called $ \textit{shifted symplectic geometry}$ on (affine) derived $\mathbb{K}$-schemes with $\mathbb{K}$ being a field of characteristic 0. In this talk, we always study objects with higher structures in a functorial perspective, and we shall focus on local models for those structures. To this end, in the first part of the talk, the basics of commutative differential graded $\mathbb{K}$-algebras (cdgas) and their cotangent complexes will be introduced. Using particular cdgas as local models, we shall introduce the notion of a (closed) p-form of degree k on an affine derived $\mathbb{K}$-scheme with the concept of a non-degeneracy. As a particular case, we shall eventually define $\textit{a k-shifted symplectic structure}$ $\omega$ on an affine derived $\mathbb{K}$-scheme, and outline the construction of a Darboux-like local model for $\omega$ together with some examples. These will be the main topics of interest in the second part of the talk.

    Alexander Degtyarev-[Bilkent] - The global Torelli theorem for cubic 4-folds and its applications
        

    Abstract: Undoubtedly, in theory of K3-surfaces the principal tool of study making the theory tractable is the global Torelli theorem (essentially stating that the isomorphism class of a surface is determined by that of its Hodge structure), together with the surjectivity of the period map (a description of the realizable Hodge structures). There are a few other classes of analytic varieties (most notably curves, from which the name originates, or Abelian surfaces) for which similar statements hold. I will try to discuss the version of the global Torelli theorem/surjectivity of the period map for cubic 4-folds in $\mathbb{P}^5$ (mostly due to Clair Voisin). Then, I will discuss a recent application of these statements to the classification of large configurations of 2-planes in cubic 4-folds.

    Muhammed Uludağ-[Galatasaray] - Mapping class groupoids and Thompson's groups
        

    Abstract: (Joint work with Ayberk Zeytin)
    I will  present a unified picture for the mapping class groups of punctured surfaces together with Thompson’s groups T & F; and I will define a simultaneous generalization of them.

    James D. Lewis-[Alberta] - The Hodge Conjecture
        

    Abstract: We introduce the classical Hodge conjecture and formulate a birational version. We then show how this birational version is used to formulate the Hodge conjecture for higher K-groups of smooth quasiprojective varieties.
