"The Ricci Flow with Surgery in Four-manifolds" |
|
|
In the middle of 1990's, Hamilton developed a theory of the Ricci
flow with surgery and claimed a classification to compact four-manifolds of
positive isotropic curvature with no incompressible space forms. In 2006,
based on the works of Perelman, Chen and the speaker obtained a complete
proof of the Hamilton's classification. Recently we can further give a
complete classification to all compact four-manifold with positive isotropic
curvature. The talk will describe this recent work.

"Gromov-Witten invariant and birational geometry" |
| In this talk, I will first introduce Gromov-Witten invariant and its degenertion formula.Then I want to talk about
the birational equivalence in symplectic geometry and characterization of uniruled symplectic manifold. Finally I will talk about the birational cobordism invariance of uniruled symplectic manifolds. This is a joint work with Tian-Jun Li and Yongbin Ruan.

| "Anisotropic Surface Energies" |
|
| Anisotropic surface energies assign a value to a surface which depends on the direction of the surface at each point. We will discuss several types of
anisotropic surface energies and their applications. These will include
recent results about anisotropic capillary problems. |

| "The normalized Ricci flow on four-manifolds and exotic smooth structures" |
| In this talk, from the gauge theoretical point of view, we will discuss the existence or
non-existence of long time solutions with uniformly bounded curvature of the normalized Ricci flow
in dimension 4. In particular, we would like to point out that the difference between existence and
non-existence of such solutions of the normalized Ricci flow strictly depend on the choice of smooth structure. |

| "A family of new metrics on the twistor space
of quaternion K"ahler manifold and their behavior
under the Ricci flow"
|
|
| I will construct a family of new metrics on the twistor space of quaternion
K"ahler manifold and study their behavior under the Ricci flow. Comparison
with the canonical deformation metrics on the twistor space and with the
standard product metrics on the product of spheres will be presented. Abstract[PDF] |

| "Stationary isothermic surfaces and a characterization of the hyperplane"
|
|
| Consider an entire graph $S$ of a continuous real function over $ \mathbb R^{N-1}$ with $N \ge 3$. Let $\Omega$ be a domain with boundary $S$ in $\mathbb R^N$. Consider the heat flow with initial temperature $0$ and boundary temperature $1$ in $\Omega$. The problem we consider is to characterize $S$ such that there exists a stationary isothermic surface in $\Omega$. We show that $S$ must be a hyperplane under some general conditions on $S$. This is related to Liouville or Bernstein type theorems for some elliptic Monge-Amp \`ere type equation. Abstract[PDF] |

| "Scaling limits of the Ricci flow and monotone quantities"
|
|
| I shall explain that the entropy bounds or the kappa-noncollapsing
property is not enough to carry out the satisfactory scaling analysis
of the Ricci flow of dimension four and higher. I shall also disscus
some attempts to find a new monotone quantity which meets this purpose.

| T. Yokota (横田 巧)（Tsukuba U. 筑波大） |
| "Perelman's reduced volume and gap theorem for the Ricci flow"
|
|
| In this talk, we consider the asymptotic limit of Perelman's reduced volume for ancient solutions to the Ricci flow.
We will show that if the asymptotic reduced volume is sufficiently close to that of the Gaussian soluton,
then the ancient solution is isometric to the Euclidean space for all time.
As an application, the case of the gradient shrinking Ricci solitons is also discussed.
